May I Ask For 9 And 11 For The Fic Writer Ask Game?

May I ask for 9 and 11 for the Fic Writer Ask Game? 💙💙💙

9. What inspired you to write your first fic?

Ohh, I have an answer to that! Two answers, actually :D

First, and here comes a name, @cried2dream wrote this mind-blowingly amazing hiccelsa fic called Thaw Slowly. It was one of the first fanfics I ever came across (and it was... not... seven years ago...), and one that I loved so, so much from the start, and which inspired a whole lot of daydreaming on my end. It was partly about the same fandom (httyd my beloved <3), it included - and here's the other reason for writing - a very cringe-worthy self-insert which then I cleverly swapped for another character (hehe). A few months later Once Mine, a heavily canon-based snunzel hiccunzel story came into this world.

more than 4 fandoms and 2434123246 interests later, I am still here and thriving. and it's you guys who have to bear the consequences i'm afraid.

11. Who is your favourite character(s) to write about and why?

Now, I don't know if it's because of how many fandoms I've written for so far, but I can't give you an exact answer to this question. What I can tell you though, is that I definitely do have a soft spot for side characters, no matter what the story and fandom I am currently writing for. From Snotlout and the Twins in HTTYD, to Phil and Marilla in AOGG, to Sabine Dupain-Cheng and Hanano respectively saving the day in my Shanghai's Special rewrite and Our Sleeves... They have always felt like a breath of fresh air and a chance to loosen up a bit.

They're new - they're different - they're only here for this one moment and this one particular purpose, which of course never stops them from doing whatever they desire and turning my carefully crafted scenarios upside down. And I love them so much for doing this every time.

(note that this doesn't apply to the main characters acting out of line like this. yes, Mashima-kun, I am looking at you)

I hope you're happy with the answers I could give you here :) Thanks so much for asking - and so quickly - for showing interest and readiness to read my writing related rambles. I hope I can deliver more of the actual writing sometime soon, too.

Will you still draw Bruno from Encanto for the six fanart thingy? no pressure tho just curious (I have moved on from the fandom lol)

Yep, he's still on the list. So... I'll get to drawing him eventually. Alas...

...when that will be, I can't say.

well if you're going to tag me you should also tag @wilderwestqueen don't ya think

Sometimes, a fic doesn't have to get published, it can just be a series of messages on a Discord channel, between a dedicated group of friends going "oooh, you know what else would be cool?" continuously over a period of weeks and months :)

(belated) part 2 for @ladrienjune prompt: failure | adrien

My lovely followers, I'm happy to introduce to you Marinette Dupain-Cheng in the 1880s/90s dress that I drew for @starfata today! It felt like a challenge at first, but one I was happy to tackle - so I'm really grateful for the opportunity!

Life is still busy, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it I think, so, fingers crossed, I can come back soon with more art (for real this time...).

Until we meet again!

i haven’t seen u on my dash in FOREVER it sounds like u have a lot going on

hello there!

so, this ask has been in my box since forever (together with a few others), and i'm sorry not to have answered earlier. it's just like i said in one of my previous ask-and-answers, though:

life got busy.

i had my july days filled with the summer camp and some of my usual classes, meaning I worked more than ever when it comes to the amount of time (and kids are great but they do take a lot of energy, you know?). after that, i started my 2-weeks long vacation and, to be fair, checking that i'm active on tumblr again was the last of my concerns, i guess? I don't want to sound rude, it's lovely to have you ask about my well-being and all. rest assured, i'm still here and doing well. I'm just... more of an observer these days. i come back to see my favourite comics updated, to have a look at what my friends have posted recently... but that's pretty much it for now. I really do hope it will change, especially in this upcoming week.

stay tuned for more updates. and thanks for not giving up on me but asking instead <3
