penelope featherington's #1 defender

hello everyone! if you follow me, you know that i write polin fic. i wrote stuff like a spare heart, doing something unholy and mates love soul deep.

i'm in the middle of writing/posting my wip now, but recent events have made it difficult for me to write anything really. because of my depression and anxiety, i had to leave school a few months ago. i also struggle to get jobs because of my condition, even low level ones. the bills are piling up and my meds are running out.

it is really embarrassing for me to do this, especially for a community that i participate in as a hobby, but i genuinely do need all the help i can get. however, i do know that loads of people are living by the skin of their teeth, so i hope that even if you can't donate, you do share this post.

if you enjoyed any of the stories i wrote, do consider donating - any amount helps, even if it's just a dollar. and who knows, if enough people ask, i can even do commissions or something!

I hope you’re having a nice December.

I hope we still like the same things (Polin), but even if not, I hope things are always going well for you everyday!!

hello my friend!!!!

thank you so much for your well wishes! i promise we still do like the same things. i'm actually working on multiple polin fics right now. unfortunately, some of those are multichap fics that take much longer to write, which is why i haven't been posting lately. i have a small xmas fic coming up that i'm posting after xmas!

When Colin Bridgerton returns from his travels, exclaiming loudly and proudly that he'd gotten his soulmark, the entire ton is sent into a buzz of excitement.

But when he proclaims Miss Penelope Featherington as his true love, he is baffled to receive an icy response - until she shows him the mark she worked so hard to cover over the off-season.

Penelope Featherington's soulmark is black.

Penelope's plans for the start of sixth form is uprooted when her best friend breaks up with her boyfriend, leaving Penelope in an awkward limbo between the two. It certainly doesn't help that her other friend and crush, Colin, is dating her cousin, and has been for the entire summer.

colin is usually thought to be in gryffindor (probably bc of his hero complex) or hufflepuff (for his kindness and loyalty). pen is usually seen as a ravenclaw (for her thirst for knowledge) or slytherin (bc of her ambition 😭)

would love to hear your thoughts! thanks ❤️❤️

first of all, i just wanna say im really sorry for leaving this ask unanswered for like two months. your girl's been extremely depressed lol

to answer your question, i agree with colin being gryffindor or hufflepuff. sometimes i also think colin could be slytherin because even though he isn't particularly cunning, i think he's very ambitious, and he wants purpose and goals in life, even if he doesn't know what they are yet. His main character arc is finding a purpose and he's driven by that.

i very strongly disagree with people who place pen in slytherin. she stumbled upon lady whistledown, she didn't set out to achieve anything, she just wanted to write. her success was accidental. and afterwards, all the moves she made wasn't to expand her empire or whatever, she just took steps to ensure that she could continue writing, and to me that isnt ambition at all. she developed cunning and ambition because of it, but those aren't her main character traits.

leneq @ AO3

hey anon! unfortunately i've recently found out that a fic can only be reported once, which is really annoying. so the fic will be up for a couple of months while the people at ao3 verify the complaint.

but if you need to report a fic, just scroll all the way to the bottom. under 'contact us', there's a button called policy questions and abuse reports. if you click on that while you're on the fic you want to report, the page is filled up for you and all you need to do is state why you think it violates ao3's terms of service and describe how.

the plagiarised fic:

above is my actual fic.

it's come to my attention that some cunt has copied my fic, word for word, and changed the names so that the pairing is now colin/marina. thank you for exposing yourselves as a completely talentless bunch of imbeciles. you've angered a complete menace, i hope you know that. i'll admit that i hold no power or sway. but i know how to be a problem.

you disabled your comments because you know exactly what you're doing. you made this fic available only for ao3 users because you know it's stolen. you're a fucking cunt.

make your own fucking c/m. write your own fucking fics. the fact that you stole my work and actually went through the effort of CHANGING THE NAMES so that penelope is the villain is so fucking pathetic. people hate your ship enough and now you're just exposing the lot of you as incompetent and incapable of even coming up with your own stories.

it's literally word for word. the fucking audacity.

also, I'd love to know your mbti!

hello anon! what a lovely question to ask!

i went to the 16 personalities website to read more about mbti personalities. at first brush, i'd say colin and i are a lot alike, but colin is a extrovert, and i need to escape out the window after ten minutes of mild to moderate conversation with anyone. so given that, i think he's enfp (extrovert, intuitive, feeling, prospecting). just cuz i feel that colin is in no way observant, thinking or judging (which are the opposites of the traits listed)

pen is harder for me to nail down. she's obviously an introvert, so that's settled. and she's very observant, so that's a given. but she can go either way on thinking vs feeling. and prospecting vs judging is hard to see in pen too. i guess, purely because of lady whistledown, i'd lean more towards judging. so by that, she'd be either istj or isfj

just by reading their profiles, i think pen is isfj, purely because the profile highlights how loyal that personality type is. and pen's strength of character is in her loyalty. even if she sometimes does things that hurts the people she loves, she knows it's better for them in the long run.
