You’ll have to tell us how we did:

Maybe not ‘crazy’ in a general sense, but those who see the world a bit differently;] 

Tim sees Gotham as just a city - he never went into the darkest streets and the poorest alleyways, he was not a stupid kid and he wasn’t brave enough to risk getting shanked in the street because someone wanted his camera - he kept to the rooftops and places where he knew Batman stopped during patrol, places he could easily get to and back from - he had to be using cabs to get to and from town, so he needed to be somewhere safe to call/be picked up I think.

So, Jason’s tie to Gotham isn’t something solid, it’s more of an extra awareness he isn’t perceiving consciously... and the city isn’t protecting him as such as he can see more of it and use it to his advantage - he knows where to go and where not to at any given time - it’s just aware of him in a way it’s not aware of general population. It’s like a human looking at an anthill and spotting one specific ant and being like, huh, this one is interesting... 

As for the Lovecraft - I am totally admitting he’s an acquired taste. I busted through his assorted complete works and some are better and some are worse, but that’s because I like the type of dry English prose he was using and some of his stories do resonate with me quite strongly but, again, acquired taste, some people prefer faster narration and, let’s be honest, the drawback of being a classic is that what was new back in the day isn’t anymore now and he may seem boring to the audience that saw the tropes he started on a lot already and done more modern:)

Personally, “The Colour out of Space” I think is one of the scariest horror concepts I’ve ever read (and I read mostly horror since I was 11XD) and “The Thing on the Doorstep” had a sub-twist that genuinely got me at the end even though the main twist was very obvious;] “The Shunned House” is one of my favourites and “The Dreams in the Witch House” is one of my favs, because if an old Polish man next door tells you to take the damn cross and pray, you take the damn cross and pray:O

it’s not very active BUT everyone there. is very nice and i hope u have a good time :)

Fersure you can!

You got The Hermit, indicating that you’re really in  a moment of upgrading in a way.  You’ll probably be needing some time to draw inwards to allow the lessons that have been coming at you to integrate.  Remember to breathe when it feels like everything might be caving in, because you have the light inside you to explore that darkness!

sorry for the late answer i fell asleep

C: What character do you identify with most?

So, I’m gonna be awful and actually say Hermione Granger. I know, I’m (mostly) a Batfam blog. But to be honest, it’s definitely Hermione for me. I was always the outcast, the perfectionist, the reader etc. I even had the hair. I just didn’t have the two best friends. I didn’t grow out of the know-it-all thing until I was an adult… Or did? -looks around at her desk in the law school library- Maybe I just learned to hide it better.

E: If you wrote a sequel to If I Told You, what would it be about?

While not a direct sequel, there is actually a companion work coming out for this called Ils M’ont Dit that’s going to showcase a few conversations that happened before and during If I Told You. This story is going to expand on Jason’s background with the League, specifically Talia, and what Bond Broken is. 

If I were to write an actual sequel, though, it would probably be some family feels and fluff. Maybe a dash of pregnant Jason because Damian needs a baby sister. Talia would probably make an appearance because in IITY she’s a bit of a possessive jealous bitch.

F: Care to share a favorite hurt/comfort fic?

I have to pick just one?!

In all honesty, I know this is a little odd, but it’s probably Take Your Finger Off the Trigger by Skalidra. 

Not your traditional H/C fic by any means but I just really fucking love how Bruce and Dick are completely willing to listen to Jason once they have him back and the work they do to make him comfortable. It’s just - idk. I love it. 

I’m not just saying this because she tagged me earlier but I fucking LOVE

K: What’s the angstiest idea you’ve ever come up with?

I’m not going to answer this… Mainly because it’s actually in the works right now and being co-written with another lovely author. We’re not anywhere near the point I feel like we can tease or let anything slip but let me tell you, it is some serious Dead Dove. It scares Garpie64. 

P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an “architect” or a “gardener”? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?)

I’ve never heard those terms before this. Bit of both? The way my ideas come to me is in scenes. You know what, I explained this to someone like yesterday. I’m gonna some copying real quick.

I get a scene in my head and world build around it. For example:

I got the scene from Vertigo first with Dick grabbing a Jason who was still male at this point and doing the whole “why do you smell like —-?!” bit etc and then some of the stuff that followed with the “how dare you act like we’re pack” stuff 

and needed a mate that I knew would send Dick and Bruce into a tizzy but could and would go toe-to-toe with Bruce without batting an eye

I think I’d just read a couple of Scandal’s stories, too, so Slade popped into my head and then I’m like “what would up the angst factor?” “OH! Let’s make Jay female!”

then I’m like, “well, how did that happen in the first place?!” and that’s how Suspending Gravity happened

But for longer stories, like To Shatter Olympus and Carry Me Home that are still in the works, I get tend to get several scenes. For Olympus, it actually started with a scene near the end and I was like… well how did we get there? So I had to figure that out. 

But in general terms, its a series of scenes that I tend to know how they’re going to go, some more fluid than others, and then I weave it all together. The weaving though? Man who the fuck knows how that’s gonna turn out. I have ideas; ways I want things to go. Sometimes they happen. Sometimes I send my drafts to all my friends and go I THINK I FUCKED UP!
