There’s that post that’s like ‘everyone should get into a tiny niche fandom at least once’ fully agree, that was really fun -- but I would like to add that everyone should get into a fandom where their opinions run counter to major fanon because it really teaches you about sticking to your guns and trusting your interpretation of the text without having to rely on peer validation

because WHAT are people talking about sometimes

Instagram: if you like anything other than my latest 3 posts I'm gonna assume you're a stalker or a spammer and block you >:(

Twitter: someone private quote retweeted my post, I guess I have a hater now

Tumblr: I have 24 hours to mass spam the notifications of anyone who crosses my sight, and with god as my witness, I will do just that and they will like it

For those who haven't read Seasons, here's the pitch: An immortal man has the ability to wish for fatherhood, and using the stores of his magic, can birth (no preganncy) children into existence. Depending on what season and conditions they're born within, they'll represent that season. He has three children. Eldon, the oldest, was born during the snowfall in winter. Howie, the character who has the most focus in this story, was born from the last leaf in autumn. He's the middle child. Beau, the youngest, was born from a red tulip. What a beautiful way to be born, isn't it? But Dear Old Papa has paused their ages so that they're all indefinitely living decades of childhood. None of them are growing up. The household is isolated "for their protection", but none of the children know why. Howie is a curious boy who can't help but dig for answers. It becomes clear that maybe the people he needs protected from most of all are his fathers. The story is about favoritism, generational abuse, sibling bonding, trauma, magic, and family secrets. If you haven't checked it out, I'm reposting the story right now (I posted it to completion last year, then ended up adding more, but it's 360k+ words and over 90 chapters in the revised version). There are only five chapters up now, but feel free to indulge in them. ;)

I'm honestly so pleased with how these actually kind of have a leathery looking texture to them, despite just being matte paperbacks. You can get a copy of Geckos, Automata in paperback or ebook ;) (And if you've read it, feel free to leave a review on any reading website or directly on Amazon to tell others what you think!) If you want to help me out financially in other ways, or just splurge (my birthday is next month): My Ko-Fi My Wishlist

mcalhenwrites asked:

Okay, so the actual OTP meme: 3, 8 but specifically NO Xillia ships, 11 for Gaiwin bc how could I possibly deny you a chance to talk about the one and only OTP? ;P

Avatar

3. What is something you look for in an otp?

Characters' chemistry and dynamics. They need to work well together in a variety of ways, and their interactions (or the potential of them in case of ships with few canon moments) must be compelling.

After that, what brings a ship to OTP status depends on the specific characters and dynamics involved, as well as fandoms (I need to be obsessed with the source material to some degree to develop OTPs, otherwise it's just 'ship I enjoy from show/game I enjoyed' but doesn't occupy all my thoughts. That's why I have relatively few actual OTPs, and they're all in my biggest fandoms (big as in the ones I was into the most).

8. Do you have any ot3’s? If so, who are they?

I actually don't really have Xillia OT3's lol so it'll be easy to exclude Xillia ships.

I think my main one is Tanuma/Natsume/Taki from Natsume Yuujinchou. TaNatsu is my main OTP for the fandom (and one of my top OTPs in general), but adding Taki to the mix is fun. They work well as a trio.

Other ones I like (but don't ship super actively tbh cuz not main fandoms) are Ruca/Iria/Spada from ToI, Hong-joo/Jae-chan/Woo-tak from WYWS (I'm still salty it's not canon :p)

11. If they went to high school, what trope would they be?

Jock x Nerd but they're actually a bit of both at the same time lmao. They're both competing for class leadership, too. And Gaius starts a revolution at some point, probably. That high school is full of drama, that's for sure.

4, 27, 56? :)

4. Where do you find inspiration for new ideas?

Somewhere in my brain :p

I guess often it's sparked by elements of canons that make me want to dig deeper (or just simply "wouldn't it be funny if..." lol), or to explore some headcanons. With AUs, it's usually me wanting to try putting my faves in my fave kinds of AUs to see if it works.

I sometimes get inspiration from other media too, like scenes, concepts etc that I think would be interesting to play with in a different fandom.

27. What is your most and least favorite part of writing?

Most: the fact that I'm creating something specifically to my tastes

Least: sitting down and typing it out is hard 😭

56. What’s something about your writing that you pride yourself on?

I think my characterization is pretty good? At least it fits with my interpretation of the characters I guess XD;

Also I tend to do well with battle scenes :3
