Ask me anything about my fics, ask my characters anything. You can send me a word and if it’s in my WIP doc then I’ll post a teaser snippet. I accept prompts for any of my existing verses.
This week I posted:
– Chapter Nine of Painting Layers of Love
– Sweet Masquerade (A Monthly Rumbelling fic, nsfw)
– Bless the Broken Road (A Monthly Rumbelling fic)
– Chapter Five of Fall All Over Again
You could also ask me a question off any of these lists.
Heya
Ooooh that’s great! Massive congrats! It always feels so good to finish things, yay you! 🙂 I haven’t started my Menagerie fic yet as such. I have my plot, the start of an outline, and three scenes which came to me at 3am and I had to write in note form on my phone. I’ve done pretty well with finishing things up myself so very soon the Menagerie fic will have my full attention as well 🙂
Yeah my askbox is always open and I don’t mind if you send a million messages heh 🙂 It’s all good. I hope you have a brilliant week and the fic treats you kindly!
Everybody’s panicking about Castro’s talk about the end of the series… but seriously, am I the only one happy about this?
You’re not the only one, Sis!
Panicking? I could only panic about it because I do not how to celebrate it, THIS COULD FINALLY END, the awful writing, the cliche, the rape culture couple (cough CS cough), the pointless plots and useless new characters, the dropped plots, the BLATANT RETCONING, THE OCCNESS, CS, it could all end, AND BEFORE SOMEONE SAYS TO STOP WATCHING IF YOU HATE IT, I SAY THIS. I WOULD HAVE DONE IT IF NOT FOR ROBERT CARLYLE AND HIS AMAZING ACTING SKILLS
Shit. The show ended for me already.
It’s been sitting out in the sun, bloated and rotting, for a couple of seasons at this point. It’s about time they hooked a toe tag on it and shoved it in the morgue for good.
My only fear is that the fic will dry up and the Rumbelle fandom will disperse. I would miss you guys so much. The canon means nothing to me but this fandom is a huge part of my life.
Same. I love Rumbelle forever and I have people in this fandom that I seriously don’t know what I would do without. I would miss the people so much. ❤
This post thread is so reassuring. My big fear about cancellation was that the fandom would suddenly disappear like smoke on the wind. I know I’ve only been part of this community for less than a year but I would really miss it.
I guess maybe because we’ve been existing in spite of canon for a while, canon not being around will perhaps not be as big a deal as it might have been. I’m certainly not planning on going anywhere whether we get a season seven or not 🙂
Heya *waves* You have questions, I hopefully have answers 🙂
1) When it comes to smut I think I put this on my signup form, it’s cool either way. So if the story works for smut and you want to write it then great! If the story doesn’t work, or you don’t want to, then also great. Ultimately it’s what feels right for you. I guess that’s a bad answer, seeing as you said it was at my discretion heh, but I just wanted to make that clear. I guess if it works for the story, it makes sense, Rush and Belle are in character, and you are ok with it, then smut is always welcome. Is that an ok answer?
2) I love science fiction. Seriously it’s probably my favorite genre so if you have any questions/there’s anything I can do to help, then feel free to blow up my askbox as much as you’d like 🙂 That being said, write in whatever POV works for you. I really don’t mind. This is your story. I want you to have fun writing it. If sci-fi is really doing your head in, then don’t make it sci-fi. Go back to the pure fantasy you proposed to begin with. Please don’t be miserable!
So how was your weekend? I hope you had a nice time and I have you have a good week ahead! 🙂
Anyone ever think about why some TV shows (or movies, books, etc) inspire you to be active in the fandom, and others don’t? I don’t know about other people, but I typically have one TV show at time that I’m truly obsessed over, and want to discuss with others, and read/write fanfic for. My other TV shows I just watch. I enjoy them, but most of the time when an episode finishes, I don’t really think about it again till it airs the next week.
Are there factors which make a show a fandom show for you?
For me, it’s 100% the OTP factor. I would so LIKE to transition out of OUAT to any one of the much better shows that I watch and enjoy (and all of them are better), but I just can’t find an OTP that moves me like Rumbelle does.
^^ same
Also, I am consistent about this because I have watched other really terrible shows because of OTPs. (Ask me about V 2009 and my lizards in love sometime.)
The OTP factor has been mentioned by several people….so I’ll rephrase the question. What makes an OTP, an OTP for you? Is there a magic formula? Does it have to do with liking the actors, or have you noticed similarities in your OTP’s stories? Or is it all just random and unexplainable?
And if any multi-shippers see this (I know I’m mutuals with a few), I’d love your input as well. If you multi-ship, then obviously you don’t have just ONE True Pairing….so how does fandom fever strike for you?
This looks like an interesting discussion *slides in quietly at the back*
Ok this might sound weird but a show becomes a fandom show for me, not actually because of anything to do with the show but because of the fandom itself. If I like a show then I will google it and read fanfic, watch fanvids etc. That will sometimes lead me to stumble across fandom, through fansites etc. It’s the people in the fandom that get me to join.
Now I admit I liked Once Upon a Time a lot before I joined the fandom. I liked it more than I liked most shows even before I got to fandom. My love for Once Upon a Time is second only to my love of Stargate. I’d written tens of thousands of words of blog posts analyzing story arcs, character motivations etc. I’d even written some fanfic before I ever joined the fandom. However, I never would have written the 400k of fanfic that I have without the community here on tumblr. It doesn’t matter how much I like a show, I’m inherently lazy.
The Rumbelle fandom is fantastic with all the events, and the prompts, and the interaction. I never get to talk about what I love in real life because nobody shares my interests. Being enthusiastic with others, makes me more enthusiastic generally. I guess there’s also a right place, right time element. The stars align or whatever. I have to be in the right place in my life etc. I’ve only been in two fandoms, and there was a ten year gap in between them.
I jumped into the Rumbelle fandom because I don’t like to miss out on things. The first Rumbelle is Hope was happening about the time I found the fandom and well the rest is history. However, at the end of the day it still comes back to the people. I stumbled across the Rumbelle fandom on tumblr, I lurked reading a few of your blogs for a few weeks before I ever joined. I found you to be intelligent, interesting, nice people with great senses of humor. It was a community I wanted to be a part of and that’s basically it.
A little backwards perhaps, but a show becomes a fandom show for me because of the fandom, and a great big dose of right place, right time.
And back to Once 🙂 Heh. This has been fun! Thank you for all the asks 🙂
OTP: To be honest if it would have kept Jefferson as a character around on the show, I would have shipped him with his hat. In terms of an actual ship I’m not sure. We didn’t really see him interact with very many people. Ok this is weird because I am definitely 110% a Swanfire shipper, and I know drugging her tea/kidnapping her was a terrible beginning, but I think I would have to say Emma.
They could bond over their kids and making hard choices to give them their best chance. I think Jefferson would bring Emma out of herself a little and make her laugh, and she would bring him back to Earth when he got too flamboyant. Jefferson was wounded by his twenty-eight years in cursed!Storybrooke and Emma had her demons as well.
BrOTP: Such a fic answer but Rumple 🙂 Again they would bond over their kids, I always like reading them as friends.
OT3: Not sure but given what I said about Emma, and of course being a Swanfire shipper, I might be willing to see what Jefferson/Emma/Neal looked like.
NoTP: Regina. After what she did to him, absolutely no way.
OTP: To be honest I don’t think there was anyone on Destiny who was suitable. That could be because Chloe was so inconsistent as a character. Sometimes she was alright, but sometimes she was whiny and I can’t ship anyone with whiny. I know she was pretty settled with Scott on the show but I don’t think he was good enough for her. Oh, he’d charge blindly into danger to save her but I don’t think he was good at the whole supportive relationship thing. So yeah don’t have one.
BrOTP: Eli for sure. I know Eli wanted more but Chloe never saw him as anything more than a friend, so I could never ship the two of them, they only worked as friends.
OT3: Don’t have one.
NoTP: I think the problem with Chloe is I don’t feel strongly enough about her to really care. I guess if I would say anything then probably Chloe/Rush (even though I’ve read Worry’s fics. Worry’s a good writer and they had Rush in ok) because I like Rush, and I’m only ever lukewarm about Chloe on a good day.
Urk you know I said Grissom wasn’t the best character? I said that because I didn’t ship him with anyone really so I thought my answers would be rubbish. Young I loathe. So I’m just going to be really sarcastic here, I’m sorry.
OTP: Young and his ego, there’s no room for anything else.
BrOTP: Young and any of the yes men that tell him he’s a good commander and a hero, when he’s actually an incompetent idiot, a disgrace to the uniform and a murderer.
OT3: Well I don’t know, I might enjoy watching Young take his ego for a little walk in the vacuum of space.
NoTP: Young and everyone else. Young and my television screen.
Honestly I don’t generally loathe characters because once I can understand them, and why they do things, I can’t hate them for it. Young is literally the only character that I out and out despise. I have never shouted so loud at the TV than I did when Young left Rush behind on the planet in Justice. I could rant about that, and how it went against everything the SGC stood for, all day. In fact I did, I was so mad I went and wrote a 5k blog post immediately afterwards because I had to scream at something.
I’m going to shut up now. Sorry for the ranting.
Wow non-Once cool! 🙂 You know I was just thinking I should rewatch some CSI the other day. I haven’t seen it in ages. Got to be honest Grissom isn’t really the best character to pick for me, so I hope these answers don’t disappoint.
OTP: Grissom and Work. Oh I know, the proper answer is Sara and yeah I know they loved each other but I never shipped them.
BrOTP: Catherine or Brass, hard to choose between them. I think Catherine at the end of the day. She always had his back, from saving his life in the season one finale, to doing his paperwork.
OT3: Don’t have one.
NoTP: Catherine, it’s a bit of a theme with me I guess. If I like them as a BrOTP then they are a NoTP because I just can’t see it as romantic.
OTP: Rumbelle of course, kinda goes without saying 🙂
BrOTP: Probably not a popular answer but got to be honest – Regina. I love those two working together.
OT3: Don’t have one. Well not unless either Rumple or Belle split themselves, or their counterparts from an alternate reality come to town. I could see Belle/Rumple/Lacey, or Gold/Belle/Dark One!Rumple or you know any variation thereof because it’s still Rumbelle at the end of the day.
NoTP: Anyone but Belle to be honest but especially GoldenQueen. I love Rumple and Regina working together as frenemies, family though Henry, former mentor and student etc. but romance just no, no, wrong, very wrong.
