I sure would. But I don’t make promises about what I will and won’t write anymore, so here’s a drabble :3

–

Sylvanas already knew she had traitors in her midst, especiallyin this infernal place. She wasn’taware just how many traitors there were in Ogrimmar and how powerful they werelikely to be until she was suddenly aware she was not alone in the tent thatwas supposed to pass as her ‘secure quarters’. 

She reached for her bow; a subtle movement. “I’d adviseagainst trying anything foolish,” she said neutrally.

“Someone should have told you that before you filledDarkshore with your filth.” A woman’svoice; the woman stepped out of the shadows and pulledback her hood.

Sylvanas recognised her immediately and her eyebrows rose. Well, well, well: theProudmoore girl.

Changing her mind, left her bow where it was; Jaina Proudmoore was angry, but she wasn’t stupid. “Care fora spot of tea?” she asked, imitating a Kul Tiran invitation. “For ‘filth’, Ithink you’ll find we cater rather well.”

Jaina ignored her. “We need to talk.”

Sylvanas sighed and leant back in her chair, giving her ameasured look. “Suit yourself, but the time for talking is long over.”

“Ordinarily, I’d agree,” Jaina said evenly; although to Sylvanas’trained eye she looked to be struggling with her composure. “I’d like nothing morethat to raze you from Azeroth at this very second. You are a monster.”

Sylvanas didn’t even blink. “As your Alliance so enjoysconstantly reminding me,” she said evenly. She considered the woman: Jaina was breathingquickly, her lips we pressed in a thin, tight line and her cheeks were flushed.Whatever she had come to tell Sylvanas was urgent and necessary, and she wasabsolutely loath to be carrying whatever message it was. That was interesting.This Proudmoore girl was more interesting than whatever message she was carrying, though. 

Sylvanas toyed with the idea of making her wait to deliverit. She wondered how Jaina would handle it: would she blow up atSylvanas and attack her? Would she just stand in place pretending she wasperfectly fine while she grew more and more flushed and agitated? Or—morelikely—was Jaina’s anger cold and bitter? Would she be nasty, speaking vilewords and trying to cut Sylvanas down to size?

Cold anger, Sylvanas understood. She liked it. It wasfamiliar and comfortable to her like slipping into an old pair of beloved boots.She very much hoped Jaina’s anger was cold.

Let’s find out,Sylvanas thought to herself, smiling. “If you want to deliver your importantmessage to me, Lady Jaina, you’re going to need to be patient. I have ever somuch important business to attend to, being Warchief and all,” she said, andgestured at furs on the ground in front of her table. “Please, make yourselfcomfortable down on the floor while you wait.”

Jaina stared her dead in the eyes—the hard, cold stare ofsomeone who was about to make a very difficult decision. Her jaw so tight shealmost spoke through gritted teeth, she nevertheless said, “Very well, but youdelay hearing it at your own peril,” and lowered herself rather gracefully ontothe fur.

Interesting. Sylvanas was somewhat impressed. Mosthumans were hot-headed little attack machines, much like their allies theworgen. Well, Sylvanas supposed, Jaina hadbeen spending rather a lot of time with the most patient of races, recently:dragons. Sylvanas had wondered about why Kalecgos would bother with ahuman, but with that particular human currently kneeing supplicant in front ofher, she understood the appeal.

And there was plentyof appeal about the Proudmoore girl—objectively speaking, of course. 

“So the body was definitely not shot here, just dumped,” Fareeha says, studying the scene closely. “You can see tire marks there, but there’s not enough blood or gore on the ground for a headshot, and then the killer fleeing.”

“Where do you think they got killed?” Jesse asks, putting his hand on her shoulder in a familiar manner, but he’s the only one she’d allow to do so. 

“Not sure. After the labs and coroner take a look, we should be able to make a guess,” Fareeha says, standing up with Jesse’s help. The hip injury she’d taken while still in the Air Force is bothering her after crouching for so long. “In the mean time, you’d mentioned something about a nearby diner?”

What is your total word count on AO3? 700,660 (Holy shit, that’s a lot)

How often do you write? I used to write almost every day. I’m on a hiatus now, taking some me time. But I plan to get back to writing more regularly eventually.

Do you have a routine for writing? Open Spotify to put on a chill playlist, sift through my Google Drive and decide to start a new fic or write new chapters for my ongoing stuff, and then just write.

What are your favorite kinks/tropes/pairing? Kinks: Lots of things ;) Tropes: Friends to Lovers, Slow Burn, Strangers to Lovers Pairings: Mainly Korrasami, but also Wayhaught, Phermercy, Chlodine, Supercorp, Shallura, and many others.

Do you have a favorite fic of yours? Right now it’d have to be Start Again.

Your fic with the most kudos? The thing with the most Kudos is actually a compilation piece, Imagine Your OTP. But the fic with the most Kudos is Rio2016.

Anything you don’t like about your writing? My ability to forget what I’ve written so quickly. This causes me to have inconsistencies, usually very small in my writing. But it also forces me to reread a lot of my own writing because I forget what I’ve written in the last chapter or the previous ones.

A physical version, definitely.

As for bundles, we haven’t gotten that far yet. They’re a definite possibility, but we haven’t even reached that impasse yet. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

I was thinking of putting up a pricing poll and asking people about charms as well, to see what we’ll include as extras with the zine.

As for the PDF version, that’s a definitely maybe, and even a yes, due to how we have to create a PDF to send to the publishers in order to get it published. 

Those will most likely go on-sale after the physical copies – single and bundles, sell out.

@budgiebum First off, THANK YOU?? I have been working so diligently on that art this weekend and your immediate response just made it all worth it (and YES STICKERS ARE LOVELY I SHOULD DO STICKERS TOO OMG).

I’m currently researching manufacturers and the best way to raise the funds for the charms. Ideally I’d like to have a Kickstarter or the like up and running this week, as well as a second design. It’s my first time doing this, and I’ve got a lot to learn, but I’m really excited. We have a serious lack-of-Korrasami-merch crisis on our hands. 

I promise to share all the info here when I figure it out! Thank you so much for your support already! 

Comics are way too short.

they can just continue them forever, right? problem solved! ;)

heh :P

but like...i’m just hoping that it has the feel of a complete season of the show by the end of turf wars. i don’t really doubt it will...but by the same token, it probably won’t be exactly the same...
