44, 48, 50 :)

44) What is the last line you wrote?

“I… I dunno. I’m not really a sports person.”

From All That Glitters, an unpublished WIP

48) What’s your favourite trope to write?

Probably polyamorous relationships. There’s a lot more to explore when you have three people trying to make a relationship work what with their different personalities and needs and relationship dynamics. I just enjoy playing with them.

50) If you could write only angst, fluff or smut for the rest of your writing life, which would it be and why?

Angst 100%. Gimme conflict, man! I’m not really great at fluff and smut is painful to write sometimes, but angst is right up my alley. 

Thanks!

so I kinda knew you were into reylo, but I didn’t really make the connection until just now… are you aware of winterofherdiscontent? they do fucking amazing reylo (and other) art, and I feel like it’s something you need to see if you haven’t already

Oh, yes! I’ve seen some of their pieces floating around and damn. I’m really into the style and aesthetic. They make really gorgeous art. I hadn’t been following until now though, and that’s just a shame. 

Thanks for the blog rec! 

🔥 how about an opinion about fanfic?

Fanfic is held to a ridiculous standard most of the time and it’s annoying as hell. The scope of influence that fanfic actually holds isn’t very big (because not only is it limited to the fandom it’s in, it’s also limited to the sub-fandom of the ship and the people who’ve willingly read it). Anyone who’ve busted their butts on a fic only to get less than a five hundred hits can tell you it’s a pretty niche market. But the constraints that some people would have you put on fanfic because of it’s perceived potential to ruin everything that’s good in the world wind up killing creativity and fucking with peoples heads. As fanfic writers we’re supposed to be “better” than the media we’re borrowing from which sometimes means there’s a pressure to “clean it up”. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen “well as long as it’s not romanticized” thrown at certain darker themes to which I go “yeah, I’m assuming that if you’ve clicked on my extensively tagged work you’re a grown up who doesn’t want to be moralized to”. I’m not here to read happy stories about happy people who have vanilla sex in their affordable apartments. I’m here to read about people who fight and get pissed and have issues with themselves and each other, who struggle but find happiness (or don’t) and grow and change. I’m here for pain and progress. And sometimes I’m here just to watch everything burn. 

I think it’s fair to criticize certain trends or patterns in fic and to get upset about them, but ultimately if you’re not doing anything to try to counterbalance that by actually making what you want to see (and not by yelling at strangers on the internet) it’s just hot air. Be the change you want to see in the world, you know? Don’t like that your faves get sidelined? Write your faves in important roles. Don’t like that one trope? Write a different trope. 

But I just personally think it’s almost laughable that fanfic is seen by some as this paragon of writing where we can “do it better” than the media in question by eliminating conflict and darker topics all together. It’s not going to cause a complete social collapse if I write my fucked-up foursome serial killer fic and we’re not going to be heralded into a new age of enlightenment if someone else writes their coffee shop AU where Character A is a firefighter and Character B volunteers at an animal shelter and their only conflict is they’re both too shy to make a move. “Doing it better” so often just leads to boring ass fic.

– Panic! At the Disco – Don’t Threaten Me With a Good Time

He found Jimmy in the pool, asleep on a raft with one arm dangling in the water and the skirt of a salmon dress hiked up to mid-thigh. 

“What the fuck, Jimmy?” Dean shouted. 

Of course that got his attention and the idiot sat up too quickly, tumbling right into the water below. He popped back up a second later, sputtering and coughing, hair in his face. 

“Dean! You’re home early,” he said with a smile. 

It might be funny if it weren’t so damn stupid. Dean had come home a little early from his business trip and hoped to surprise the twins, maybe with breakfast in bed. That was, until he walked in to the disaster that had replaced his living room. In addition to the thousands of empty cups and pizza boxes he’d expected to find there were several dozen empty liquor bottles, at least two people he didn’t recognize passed out on the floor, and glitter damn near ground into the carpet. There was also something stuck to the walls but he really didn’t want to think about what that could possibly be. 

So he’d gone away for a week like a responsible adult and his boyfriends had acted like teenagers. Great. 

“What the fuck?” Dean said again. 

Jimmy sighed, pushing his dripping bangs out of his face. “Do you want an explanation or do you just want to be mad?” 

“Ideally, both,” Dean said, shaking his head. 

Jimmy huffed, swimming to the lip of the pool before hauling himself out of the water. He looked terrible, with his dress sopping wet and make-up smudged and running down his cheeks. It would be rude to laugh, but since when was Dean all that polite? 

“I made semi-finals,” Jimmy said, wringing out the hem of his skirt. “So,” he flapped his hands at the mess of discarded cans and over-turned lawn furniture in the backyard, “we might’ve gotten a little excited.” 

“Wait, really? So you’re going to Vegas next right?” Dean asked. 

Jimmy smirked, shrugging his shoulders.Dean pulled him into his arms, not caring that getting and arm-full of sopping wet drag queen was definitely probably bad for the suit he wore. 

“You’re not mad?” Jimmy asked when Dean finally put him down. 

“About the house? Kinda, yeah. But I’m really proud of you. I just wish I could’ve been there to see it.” 

“Cas recorded it, apparently,” Jimmy said. 

“Where is he anyway?” Dean asked, peering past Jimmy as if he expected the other twin to pop up behind him. 

A grunt sounded from the rose bush near the door, and Dean turned to find Cas pulling himself out from behind it. 

“You two are a disaster,” Dean said. 

Cas grunted in what was probably assent.
