@karama9
In honour of the OoT remake, a very old piece of mine! I don’t think I ever shared it here.
I keep playing with the idea of redoing it, my coloring skills have improved a fair bit since I drew this.
Not sure why I didn’t position the three aspects in their usual place either, I just don’t remember. 😅

a story idea you haven’t written yet
There is a 1k outline of a modern AU with an extremely tropey setup amongst my docs. It’s kind of the antithesis of everything I do (I don’t really like modern AUs, I don’t like starting with tropes), but the plot bunny hit and I thought I make an interesting take on it. Don’t know if I’ll ever follow up on it at all but it’s there… lurking.
talk about your writing and editing process
Chaotic would probably be the best way to put it haha. I usually tackle each project with a snowflake framework. Typically start with an idea/short summary -> that extends to a larger summary of individual scenes -> those extend to dirty/zero drafts where I map out key dialogue/actions and “insert description of introspection on topic here” -> then that extends to the actual prose part. Then we have restructures, rewrites, edits, banging my head against the wall, etc etc etc

I’m so sad knowing that what i’m gonna see in the Direct today is most likely ocarina of time remake. Cool game, good game, I really like it but oh my god OoT AGAIN??
I would rather have idk man spirit tracks remaster, even four swords, man even triforce heroes just anything but oot again. I hate TP glazers but even a TP remake would be better.
Hey nintendo have you ever thought about a ALBW Remak-

Thank you for the ask @miadearden!
15 favorite weather for writing
I'm not overly picky on that, basically whenever it's not so nice out that I want to be outside. We don't have particularly good overall weather where I live, so on most days there are no issues with that. XD
26 are you able to write with other people around?
It depends... It's not so much the people as what they're doing. Assuming we're excluding times where the people are actively talking to me, because I definitely can't write then, I also have some trouble if they're talking to each other or reacting to what they're watching or reading because any noise coming from them feels like something I'm meant to do something about. I also sometimes have trouble tuning out the TV if it's in a language I understand, or music of almost any kind.
27 your favorite part of the writing process
I think drafting. I do like planning and writing pre-draft summaries too, but if I have to pick one, it'd be drafting. I'll happily draft without having a summary, but I wouldn't be interested in writing a summary without intending to write it out as a full story once I'm done.

Finally! It is done!
The bonus links animatic I’ve been wanting to do ever since I read part 2 of Bonding Exercise from Moments Between by ezdot!
I couldn’t get the imagine of Mage floundering about on the ice and falling with War sick and suffering watching Mage in the background. I also started reading Witch Hat Atelier, which has absolutely stunning cloaks and draping fabric that inspired me to animate Mage’s cloak for this
Korok #63: butterfly search
This was a kid request: "draw a korok that's looking for a butterfly but can't find it and the actual butterfly is on the ground behind them and there has to be a thought bubble and question marks to show the searching"
Apparently I put the question marks in the wrong place but it was deemed acceptable.

For the fic writers ask game :] 4. a story idea you haven’t written yet 8. if you had to write a sequel to a fic, you’d write one for… 17. talk about your writing and editing process
Thank you for the ask @doubtfulloser!
Story Idea I haven't written yet
The next one I'm going to tackle after Rogue is the Locked Land AU. The idea is that Link literally goes out of bounds by escaping the locked land that is Hyrule and ending up in the wider world, as part of some intense speed running shenanigans. They've reset time and are trying to get their quest done faster than they did the first time around. I did write an introductory one-shot on this one, but the bulk of the ideas aren't written yet! The main character, as per current plan, is not Link but a person from the outside world that ends up helping them out.
Sequel?
I've actually been toying with the idea of trying to do a sequel for Hero again. With various one-shots, I'm up to a third quest for my poor scaredy-cat Link, it seems like it would be fitting to write at least the second one. I had one started years ago, but abandoned it because I got too bothered by the fact my made up timeline didn't make sense with the newly released (at the time) official timeline. Not a very good reason, but I was so so on the plot anyway so it was the last straw. I think I could make it work with some adjustments... maybe.
Writing and Editing Process
I always start with a detailed summary, and adjacent notes for specific things I'll need to refer to more often or keep close track of like character lists and story timeline.
Then the draft, which I write mostly in order but not entirely - I write some key scenes or scenes I just feel like poking at whenever the mood strikes and just save them for when they'll be needed.
I review twice: the first one is a quick re-read to check for consistency and clarity, the second is for phrasing, spelling and grammar. I always try to post chapters with no errors. I always post chapters with errors I missed lol. But not as many as were in the first draft so that's something.
In terms of posting, I'm kind of all over the place. I typically try and build a buffer, but how big of one varies a lot. For some stories, I finish the writing before posting, but that's relatively rare.
14 and 23 for the fic writer asks
Thank you for the ask @hurricane105!
14 Where do I get inspiration from?
I think mostly from books I've read months or years before, or stories I've known for a long time. They start contaminating my brains with adjacent ideas when they've been cooking in there long enough... sometimes also just tropes and themes. And then I end up mashing a bunch of all that together. For the Masked Rogue for instance, I'm drawing inspiration from Robin Hood, but also from Nobody's Boy (Sans Famille by Hector Malot) because it's my comfort anime and novel, a bit from the Princess Bride, and then I decided to just go for it in terms of French inspiration and I allowed myself to make Link's hero outfit patterned after The Three Musketeers, to pattern all the contemporary clothing on late 18th century France, and some Cyrano for good measure. As for tropes and themes, we got arranged royal marriages in there too, plus the whole commoner saving the princess and they fall in love trope.
23 Pick Three keywords that describe your writing
My current WIPS are actually either a bit out of my usual comfort zone (A Link Against the Dark) or WAY out of it (The Masked Rogue). This is on purpose, I'm trying to broaden my skills. So, these don't necessarily apply right now, but for maybe 80% of my writing, it would be: darkness, violence and trauma.
But it's MOSTLY so that light will defeat the darkness and loved ones will help soothe the trauma. That makes me a cheerful writer, right? XD
For the fanfic writer ask, 2 and 17 please!
2. a character whose POV you're currently exploring
Currently it's TP Link, for the soulmate AU that took over my writing time and kicked all the other ideas under the rug 😂 I love shipping though, I think I've only written Link and Zelda's POVs, plus one scene from their cat Waffles' POV. I have a list of character studies I'd like to do, but it turns out I'd always rather write smut
17. talk about your writing and editing process
I thought I was more middle-of-the-road in terms of pantsing and plotting, but after discussions on Discord, I think I'm basically in the ditch on the pantsing side of the road. It helps that I mostly write shipfic with happy endings, because I have some idea what the story's climax will be. In terms of an outline though, I have pretty bare bones: a couple words or a phrase per scene until I get to that scene, and I frequently add more scenes as I write, especially for the first 1/3 or so of the fic.
I don't edit very heavily - fixing typos and anything beta readers notice is about the extent of it, although sometimes I'll swap scenes around to help the narrative flow. It's rare that I use [OC name], for example - so I don't have to add much of that when editing.

For the fanfic writer asks, 23, 27 and 30 please!
Thank you so much for the ask, @karama9
23. Pick three keywords that describe your writing
fluff (obviously)
dialogue (I think it is my strongest asset)
slice-of-life (probably a cheat, but I've decided I'm best at keeping the scenes grounded in the moment, focusing on how the character is affected emotionally and what's going through their head, as opposed to describing the surroundings)
27. Your favorite part of the writing process
Cleaning up a scene and posting it
30. Share a fic you’re especially proud of
This one is tough because the answer changes as time goes by. I think, (once I am done) the fic I will be most proud of is the third installment of my modern au, Be With You.
Over the last four years I've been working on honing my skills and finding my 'voice' as a writer. I think Be With You reflects that growth in the chapters I've posted to date.
that’s the way it happened. don’t tell me otherwise
More writing asks: a trope you’re really into right now how do you recharge when you’re not feeling creative?
Thank you for the ask @raginghummingbird !
Trope I'm really into
I always like SFW emotional hurt/comfort - one character is emotionally hurt, someone they're close to helps them feel better through talking or other gestures.
How I recharge when I'm not feeling creative:
Typically, either shift role and let myself just be entertained by reading or watching something, or do something productive to get the dopamine of accomplishing something without the decision fatigue that comes with creating. That might be cleaning something or even just accomplishing something in a video game.
Ha ha ha love it when the zine is like here you go, please read over the preview pages of your fic for typos and what not and you read it and wonder why they agreed to publish it because it’s garbage. It’s way too late for revisions and I really liked this piece right up to this moment. Like what flavor of imposter syndrome is this
Oh no! We are ALWAYS our own worst critics! I bet it is a lovely story! I, for one, really enjoy your writing style and voice.
What Missy said! I've yet to see anything you wrote that wasn't done very, very well!
defiance, in the face of the devil

For the ask game - 1, 6, and 30 ☺️
Thank you for the ask @mistresslrigtar!!
1 last sentence I wrote
And then, them and every other monster I can see turns tail and runs for the woods.
(Early draft, don't judge please. ^^;)
6 word that appears the most in my current draft
If I include common words, "the". Otherwise, "one".
(Not sure what to make of that but at least it's not pain or blood or something like that…)
30 fic I'm particularly proud of
Arashikage. I don't think there's any Storm Shadow fans still following me on tumblr so for anyone seeing this, it's just me telling you about a story you won't read, but I worked very hard on that one and other than the first few chapters maaaaybe dragging a bit, I still think I did really good on it. And readers seemed to agree at the time! *^^*
The Symphony that Shattered the Sky by @the-twilight-duchess
Fantasy | Teen | AO3 | Complete
Synopsis: In the dead of night, she did not dream. No delightful images crossed her vision, no comfort of nonsensical imaginings played out in her mind. No, whenever Zelda closed her eyes, it was not to be lulled into the deep embrace of sleep, but rather the clutches of prophecy. And the gods did not send warnings of glad tidings. When Zelda is plagued by nightmares of Hyrule's demise, the only person who seems to believe her is a mysterious Gerudo Shaman, hired by her father to convince her it's all in her head. But Ganondorf Dragmire seems to have other plans.
Content Warnings: Manipulation, mind games
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an otherwise unbothered Hyrule, Princess Zelda sees visions of destruction and downfall when she sleeps. Despite the lethargy and casual dismissal of her subjects and family, Zelda does not relent in her conviction. Not even when a stirring stranger from the Gerudo offers his aid. This Ganondorf possesses all the poisonous patience of the worst sort of honeytrap, and this Zelda is clever to a fault, playing on a team of her own for the sake of her people. WHAT COULD GO WRONG??? 😂 Lingeringly manipulative, this is truly a power-packed read. I will be back to revisit! - SparklyHyberhole
A brief but deadly duet between two powerful minds. Watching Zelda unravel this thread was very satisfying, and it has me curious on where these two took that dance after. Absolutely worth the read. - amelias-hart
Wisdom faces off against Power, in a completely new and original way! I love Zelda in this, she's still the smart avatar of Wisdom she usually is, but she also feels so young and vulnerable, a feeling not helped by her growing exhaustion from terrible visions plaguing her every night, and nobody taking her seriously. Enters a Gerudo Shaman who does take her seriously, and gains her trust and confidence little by little. But with a name like Ganondorf, us readers are left wondering whether he's as trustworthy as he seems... Ganondorf is great to read in this. Smart and charismatic yet just a little bit scary. - Karama9
