Hello all! I’d like to introduce you to and you all to welcome @distant-rose to the CSSNS!!! 

How long have you been in the CS/OUAT fandom? 

Since April 2017

When did you start shipping CaptainSwan? 

I started watching OUAT in December 2016 and got to the beanstalk episode in January and was like “holy crap, that chemistry” during the scene where he used his teeth to tie the scarf. It was originally just gonna be my hateship because I didn’t imagine the gloriousness of season three. So, long story short, since the beanstalk, my dear loves.

What drew you to this event?

Other than I’m an absolute slut for the paranormal? A good friend of mine pointed me in the direction of it and I thought it would be an excellent way to meet new people and get more involved in the community. I didn’t realize how social I was until CSLB and now I’m trying spread my wings so to speak.

What inspired your topic? 

I love mythology. The only thing I love more than mythology is obscure mythology that I can play around with. I feel that a fundamental element of my writing when it comes to fanfiction is taking something that has a bare bones foundation/jumping off a piece of canon and making it into my own little universe. Selkie mythos is kinda bare in a way that I have some fundamentals I know I have to keep but I have a lot of room to play around with it.

If you would like to share a snippet/sneak peek/summary of your fic or artwork, please use the space below.

Oh god, I have so much art mockups and templates for my lovely authors - @initiala, @lenfaz, @awkwardnessandbaseball and @blessed-but-distressed alongside my writing. I don’t think I could fit it all if I wanted to. However, here’s a bit of a sneak peak of my selkie fic ‘Seal of Fate’:

“Hello love.”

Emma shrieked as a pale man emerged from the surf, naked as the day he was born. She stumbled backward into the sand, wincing as her ass landed on a decidedly sharp shell. She grabbed an abandoned beer bottle and tossed it at him. She missed by a mile.

“You’re naked! Why the hell are you naked? Does Ireland not have any public decency laws or something!” Her eyes bulged as another thought occurred. “Oh god, I’m on a nude beach, aren’t I?”

The man stared at her in a mixture of startlement and confusion. He tilted his head to the side, regarding her the same way a dog did when it realised its master had tricked it out of a treat.

“In all of my years, I’ve never gotten THAT reaction before.”
