1, 6 AND OFC 7!

’

but only because the bar was so low.’ ;A;

Let’s look at this- the main one: I stuck the character in the literally pits of hell on earth, slave to an actual Evil God, also took away some fingers and toes, kept him there for almost a century, had the other character also stuck in Evil God Central HQ as a prisoner after having her entire city destroyed by a dragon ….and it’s still a softer fate than their original canon. Other AU had the forgetting of identity with added animal transformation. Still nicer.

Plus, Halls of Mandos and Gardens of Estë. Even with the other fusion characters I’ve killed even with the one or two that didn’t die in the original canon, like Cloud Strife, I get that reset button of everyone heals and is reborn. Purely benevolent resurrections. No Red Gods.

1, 6 AND OFC 7!

1.       What are some writing tics that persist in your work but that you dislike?

Epithets. Omission or awkward clauses. Typos. That tic of peppering in non-English terms that immediately pegs me as a reader of anime/manga fanfic in the early 2000s even if I’m doing the equivalent with Sindarin/Quenya instead. I don’t have distinct voices for different characters/narrative tone.

6.       What’s your guilty pleasure as a writer?

Obscure allusions and private jokes hidden in name meanings (Four is Death so lets call this random OC Kanatië thus implied of the paired set with Kanat aka Number Four)

Fusions! Where I try to bury the characters and plot parallels of the inspiration work so anyone looking for a crossover will be disappointed, but the appeal is the fusion/crossover elements’ integration so I can’t divorce it.

7.       Be honest: are you mean to your faves, or do you go easy on them?

Okay, to be honest, I purposely picked out some no-name given plot devices would existed only to die and decided I will make several stories about y’all and make people care about them. Some of that blame is on me, but only because of the initial choice. And my AU Theon and Jeyne don’t go through as terrible shit as they do in canon, I think, but only because the bar was so low. That fluffy modern AU needs to be a proper fic so I can balance the metaphorical books. So moving on from the Red Band-

Ummm…okay like I feel I…for Elu…I’m sympathetic to him, very sympathetic, so I’m trying to make the reader relate and appreciate him. I wrote angst Aegnor/Andreth stuff, but I also have two comedy AU where they get a better than canon fate OTP fix-fic, so that balances, right?  ….Ingwë. Yeah I can’t dodge that shit. I love my Ingwë and it’s coming from a position of making a good appealing story, but he is fully entitled to rage against the author there. So, yes, I am more mean than nice. And characters I hate, if they show up, I am not making more than a token effort to be unbiased.
