Author: @ulfrsmal | Artist: @underragingwaves Title: Down with the Dust | Category: M/M | Rating: Explicit | Word count: 11.5k Warnings: Graphic Descriptions of Violence, Explicit Sexual Content, consent issues Summary: Stranded in Constantinople and in dire need of money to return to Norway and claim what was rightfully his, Harald hadn’t thought twice before pitching this idea to Leif – there were few things more delectable than admiring the raw power in his half-naked Greenlander – yet now Harald could see what bubbling rage could do… and started to doubt whether this had been a good idea after all.

You can read the story here on AO3!

Yessss! That's the truth spoken right there! 😊 she is an artist among gif-makers and a word wizard as an author; I'm really proud to call her my friend 💕

📗 Do you want to write something outside of fanfiction? If so, what about?

Technically yes. It is a dream of mine, but I'm unsure of what it would be about or what genre. I feel like the important part is to write a compelling story that will hit the right audience who will enjoy it. I don't think I'm currently in a place where I would know what story roaming around in my head needs to be told. I did write poems as a teen and adult (some of those are either in my fics or edits)

💌 Is there a favorite trope you like to write?

Hurt/Comfort- or Hurt/No Comfort. Mutual Pining. Forbidden stuff as you know xD

Well, Number three is here.

11. Do you believe in the old advice to “kill your darlings?” Are you a ruthless darling assassin? What happens to the darlings you murder? Do you have a darling graveyard? Do you grieve?

Yes, I kill a lot of my darlings- all the time. Sometimes they get a graveyard in a different doc when I feel like they can be useful in the future, but mostly they disappear forever. And no, I don’t grieve. I might cry while I kill ‘em in the moment, but after that....welp.

24. How much prep work do you put into your stories? What does that look like for you? Do you enjoy this part or do you just want to get on with it?

You expect me to have a plan? Me? lol. It usually goes like this: nice daydream-movie appears in my head and plays out, me likes, me wants to read and realizes I have to write it myself to do so. Sometimes, if needed, I do some research to not be completely inaccurate (be it historically or just on a specific topic). But other than that? No outline, no nothing. It either gets written or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, but it’s special, it’ll exist behind one of the many freaking doors in my minds palace of unnecessary stuff I know or remember 😂 There is one exception and that’s when I spite write. Then I plan to subtlety destroy the other story just by writing a better one.

This one is for the wonderful @underragingwaves 💕

Who is ready for our Big Bang Winter Event?

Yes, dear followers, this is not a false alarm! We've decided to have a little Interest Check for an Event that will be revealed in Winter '22! We reduced the necessary word count to 2,5k to make it a little easier for those who were intimidated by the 5k in our first Big Bang ❤

The Rules will be a little different this time around, but hopefully more clear. It might be a challenge to some, but since the word count is so low, we thought it was appropriate.

I will have Killy @underragingwaves at my side this time to host our event 🤗 Big thank you to you, love!

We hope to find a couple creators interested in participating again or for the first time! We are thrilled to see who's interested in taking part 😊
