#bugfic talk

(Reblog if you’re a fanfic writer and you wanna know what your followers’ favorite story of yours is ❤)

You have a good memory; “midnight” is indeed in the title.  Thank you so much, Trish! 😁

I already got your comments on this on PM, but thank you again! 😊

#ice to see you #ice see you later #i needed this #i love the part where she manages to dodge all those bullets #what a COOL thing #poor kristoff lol #elsa's so casual about this lol #'yeah thats right you think you can catch me..try again suckers'

Thank you!  Though now I feel bad for only having one ice pun.  Darn. :P

(And I picture it as more Elsa standing still, smugly watching the hapless policemen, trying to get bullets past her wall of tiny magic ice shards... 😂  Although, it's not outside the realm of possibility that she could make it look like she dodged them, using the shards to deflect the bullets one way while moving the other way.  Hmm.)

So funny! I love that dour Elsa has a sense of humor, even though it’s been hours since she had coffee!

"Why are you in such a big hurry to leave??" he shouted, struggling against the ice holding him in place. "I HAVEN'T HAD ANY COFFEE IN HOURS!!" came her rapidly fading voice. *Elsa zooms away to find coffee* *Kristoff looks at the camera like he's on The Office*

(Thank you!!)

Ok, dorky Assassin!Elsa who drinks too much coffee and makes bad puns is almost more than I can handle! #great job Bug!

Especially since her coffee addiction doesn't factor into this fic at all (except see above 😂).  I tried to keep it a little humorous, even though this is more serious than my usual DA!verse offerings. 😉  (Rather like the tone of "An Unexpected Discovery", I think.)

@frenzy5150 replied to your post “Made-up fic title: "Ice Knowing You”:

Oooooooh!!!

Thanks, Frenzy!!  I figured you would like it. :D

Oh man, this is fantastic. I love seeing how Kristoff balances work with knowing Elsa. The little sh-. XD And it’s so cool seeing an Elsa who is so… Precise with her magic! Awesome. :D

@dagart - Thank you, Dag! :D  As we all know, DA!Elsa is a huge dork, but when it comes to combat, she can be scary!

The whole "magic ice shards" thing came from when I was trying to figure out, "How is she going to scare them off?" Obviously, summoning a snowstorm or other very obvious displays of her power (cf. the Summit Siege in the movie) would create too much talk in the town, and she'd probably have the whole force out for her head.  So, she needed a much more subtle application of power.  I briefly toyed with the idea of an ice wall that could STOP bullets (and there's no doubt that she could make such a thing), but this was even better.

(Love seeing Domestic Au stuff! Easy to miss at times though.)

I do try to reblog these multiple times.  And as always, I tag any that I see (with just #domestic assassin au, usually, but sometimes #da!verse.)

Icy what you did there.

(Frozen Themed Asks)

11. Favorite Frozen 2 Theory?

Probably the one about the symbols on the diamond-shaped crystals being tied to the four seasons.  (But not necessarily about there being three other magic-users.)

13. In your opinion, best Frozen fanfic you’ve written?

Oh gosh, that’s really hard! 😅  I’m still fond of “Moonlight” (the first one I posted), but I’ve written so many, it’s hard to pick just one, because I like each of them for different reasons.  (Like, for example, “A Warm Place” for my first attempt at a ship fic, “Silence of Midnight” for my first try at Em’s Shardsverse, etc.)

18. Top Ten Disney Movies

Also a hard question, but I’ll try:

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

Frozen

Tangled

Sleeping Beauty

Mary Poppins

TRON

Wreck-It Ralph

Aladdin (1992)

Cinderella (2015)

The Lion King (1994)

Black: Would you want to live in one of the fictional worlds you’ve created?

I haven’t created any, but you know I’d give anything to live in Arendelle.

Blue: What’s more important to you: characters or plot?

Characters.  Plot is hard. 😅

Purple: Which of your characters would become your sworn enemy? 

Again, very few OCs, but all friendly.  More or less.  The same one I mentioned in the previous ask, Ruth, I certainly wouldn’t want as my enemy, because she’s an assassin, and I’m sure she’d make my life miserable and brief. 😅

Silver: Are you comfortable writing in public places?

Sure, I don’t have a problem with it.  In fact, I tend to prefer it, since I’m less likely to be bothered in public than at home.  (Sad, but true.)

Brown: Do you have a set writing space? Or do you write everywhere?

Pretty much everywhere.  I write whenever the muses and motivation show up.

Pink: Which of your characters would become your best friend?

Oh, gosh... I don’t have more than a couple of OCs, and the one that I think I would get along well with, I’ve barely written about.

I’m not really sure, anon.  I mean, when the AU started 3 years ago, I followed along and commented.  And I remember wanting to write a fic of my own, but content that the others were doing such a good job without my help.  I think it was @stranger-who-writes-fiction who finally convinced me to write something, leading to this, and it was off to the races from there.

1.  Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.

Fluff.  Or, mild hurt or conflict that ends in fluff.  Otherwise, my fics are usually comedic and silly.  (With a few exceptions.)

2.  Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?

Not really.  Since I last answered this, I have written a bit of ship fic (Kristanna), and have also started my own AU based on said ship (Heiress AU), so that’s something, I guess?

5.  Share one of your strengths.

Characterization, I guess.  It’s something I have lots of doubts about, especially when I don’t get a lot of feedback.

15.  If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?

Well, assuming that it remains an animated medium*... gosh, I don’t know.  I would love to see “Moonlight” come alive in any form.

(* Unless Elizabeth Lail and Georgina Haig are in it.  I miss those two so.)

31.  Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fic being canon compliant?

For canonverse stories, I try to stick with what’s been established in canon.  (What canon I’ve seen, anyway.  I am ashamed to say that I have STILL not watched Olaf’s Frozen Adventure. 😓)

For AUs, I try to go with whatever rules have been established for that AU.  The exceptions are the one AU I’ve created, and the Domestic Assassin AU, where I often do like Indiana Jones and make things up as I go. 😂
