What fic are you the proudest of?

Have you ever made a playlist for a fic? (Share?)

What is one of your favorite tropes to write?

VERY interested in your answers :)))))

Hi!!

I'd say the fic I'm proudest of has got to be easily distracted, it's the first one I ever posted and the longest one. I honestly never expected it to get the love it did, so thank you all so so much for that!! I'm still working on chapter 6 I promise, the editing process sucks absolute ass but I'm getting through it bit by bit!!

I'm also quite proud of risk assessments, coffees, confessions and realisations. My first (and only so far!!) fanfic inspired by a piece of fanart. Also my first time writing any coming out scenes for either of them, Trevor as trans and Chris as ace. Trans!Trevor and ace!Chris mean so so much to me. I'm not a trans man myself but I am trans, and I'm not explicitly asexual but definitely on the ace spectrum somewhere, so it was surprisingly cathartic for me to write that one. Especially the ace thing, it's so weird to realise that this whole sexual attraction thing isn't a bit that everyone just plays along with, and it's so confusing, and being able to put a name to that feeling is such a relief and I wanted Chris to feel that too. (I could talk abt ace and potentially aro Chris for so so long lmao)

I've never made a playlist for any fic I'm afraid!! I have massive respect for people who do, I kinda wish I could tbh, my brain doesn't really associate music with my own fics? I've gotten into making character playlists (mainly for my own D&D characters though lol) but never for a fic. If anyone has any tips on how to go about making a playlist or has any recommendations, please let me know!!

(Hello it's Nox from twenty minutes later here and I've realised I'm a massive liar. There's one song that always makes me think of the end of chapter 4 of easily distracted, especially in earlier drafts when the Oh no moment happens in bed as Trevor watches Chris with the dim glow of the streetlight outside. The song is called In Cold Light by Vanbur, I listened to it practically on repeat while writing chapter 4 and use it to get inspired whenever I need to keep writing.

Additionally, I've been toying around with a little idea for a songfic to When You Were Young by the Killers, I was listening to it one sunny day and got such a clear image in my head and I've not been able to stop thinking about it.

There's also another WIP that sort of fits the vibe of Wrecking Ball by Mother Mother, but that's quite a while away from being posted (but still thought I'd include it!) Back to original Nox!!)

My favourite trope to write has to be pining!! Especially for christrev, in my head there's so so much pining and being idiots about how they feel about each other. Alternatively if I write sort of established QPR christrev (although we know they'd never call it that) I love me some domestic bliss. Knowing the other better than they know themselves, finishing each other's sentences, supporting the other silently, all that is my absolute SHIT. So basically complete opposite tropes lmao!! But evne in the pining, to me there's an element of them knowing each other so so well, knowing what the other is thinking. OH how could I forget looking after each other's injuries?? I never know what the trope name for that is, I guess the closest thing is whump and hurt/comfort? I love the characters so much, make them suffer, give them pain, and then give them comfort (comfort is the most important part of that!!)

if you didn't know already, on 1st august in london there are things happening! either playing the tower of terror (designed by the cast!) and/or a social event in the evening, which has a q&a with ellie and gareth! it's being hosted at rpg taverns.

Bigging my beauteous eyeballs at you 👀

I THOUGHT IT SAID BIGGING MY BEAUTEOUS BALLS AT YOU AT FIRST KSJDFDKJFG

Looks like I gotta get my eyeballs checked lmao

Ooooo, this one's kinda a tie between the newest chapter of easily distracted and Actions speak louder than words!! I've been doing some yelling about the characters with @cornleydrama and it's given me inspiration for a good new chapter with the prompt sparkling snowflakes, very excited to get that written!! And also easily distracted because it's been so long....... it's been so so long................. and I need them to make up so I can write more pining 👀 but they have to make up first lol. I've written most of it but it's just the editing that SUCKS so bad, it's still happening though!!

If we're talking about a completely unwritten idea, it may or may not be a potential QPR Christrev marriage fic 👀 but honestly at the moment I'm so normal about them that I'll go to the shops and think "hm how would my good friends Chris and Trevor fit into this situation" so I tend to rotate ideas in my head for ages before writing them out if that makes sense!
