DUCKVEMBER 21: Community Ducks

Alright! Thank you for asking!

Hoo, boy! Alright, good questions!

Firstly, for those who don’t know, I pretty much write strictly Darkwing Duck and Ducktales fanfiction these days. So I’m going to be focusing on those fandoms of my works. The rest are too old for me to properly answer questions over.

Question 4: Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

A line I’m very proud of? Hmm, well, there are lots of them. I’m gonna give you two, actually. The first one that comes to mind would have to be from my fic “The Golden Heart”. Chapter 12 I have Scrooge McDuck saying this line to Fenton Crackshell.

"Yer as jumpy as a fox in a hen house, Fenton. What's wrong?"

So I chose this one because..... it’s just so Scrooge. He’s always been a tricky character for me to write due to his Scottish accent and older fashioned terminology. Writing his accent is a job in its own, especially in regards to keeping it consistent. And this was just a fun visual line to have him say! You don’t really see much of his accent in this particular line save for the word “Yer” instead of “You’re” l. But, I don’t know. I’m just oddly proud of it.

My second example for this question happens in “Thicker Than Water”, Chapter 13. This is a crossover fic so Darkwing Duck characters are also in this. The exchange between the two of them is something I’m quite proud of.

This is more than a line, it’s an argument between Darkwing and Scrooge.

Darkwing turned back to his employer and grumbled, "I'm only on their payroll when they have assignments for me to do which they have not HAD for quite some time! I'm only paid for missions! I can't even remember the last time they assigned me a said mission!"

"Can’t imagine why” drawled Scrooge in sarcasm.

So, I chose this because it’s the very definition of the relationship these two have. They are constantly rattling the other’s chains. Always at each other’s throats. So this little exchange just embodies all of that. In my opinion.

Question 20: Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?)

Hmmm....oh, wow. There’s so much I could answer with in this one. What I would REALLY love to ramble about for my current work “Thicker Than Water”, I can’t say due to spoilers. But I will say, I am a HUGE fan of foreshadowing. I love it so SO MUCH! There are so many examples....so many instances where I use foreshadowing in my work, I couldn’t even come close to naming them all. And the spoiler I can’t say... is gonna be one of those big foreshadowing moments. I’m very excited about it!

One of those, “did you have that planned the whole time?!” moments. The answer is yes. Yes, I did.

Something I CAN talk about, would have to be the shipping I have in “Thicker Than Water”. I could talk about ships all day! One of the pairings is one of the most popular in the fandom. Darkwing/Launchpad.

The other is a crack pairing. Fenton/Scrooge. I mean, the fact that it’s a crack pairing says it all. I find that anytime a crack pairing is taken seriously in a story, you’re in for a fun time. It’s fun to watch this strange pairing oddly work. Lol

aaaaaaaaaaaa

Not enough gold.

Apparently I suck at drawing bathtubs, but it was pretty damn worth it because this was an adorable idea ❤
