Pseud: Jax

Your FFA WIPs/verses: Guardiansverse, obviously ;).

About you: An Unremarkable Fandom Old. I like cats, food, cultural studies, and, apparently, discovering interesting new kinks on meme. Everything you need to know about my id you already know from my WIP (I just love complex power balances and sickfics a lot, okay.)

What you hope to get in this comm: I'm not usually big on talking about writing, but I'd love to talk more about plotting and outlining, do brainstorming, maybe the occasional challenge. As the mod though my main interest is serving the public interest!

Do you want concrit? Always

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Always
- Write fic of your characters? Alwyas
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Please show me before posting, though I'm not likely to say no!
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Yes, but see DNWs below.

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? No noncon with or about any of mine please. Dubcon only by request.

Just wanted to mention I'm very late to the Guardiansverse party, but I recently read and loved the story you've posted to AO3 and am slowly catching up on all the backstory and ephemera. Thank you for starting this comm!

From:

guardiansverse

Oh thank you! As yet another reader in awe of your WIP this means a lot. :D

From:

otterfic

Pseud: Otter (also CL Marie in other namespaces, but Otter is better here)

Your FFA WIPs/verses: A Gentleman’s Proposal (and hopefully future sequels!)

About you: I also very occasionally write fanfic, am a formerly prolific DWrper, work in telecommunications sales as a trainer, have an adorable dog and cat...etc!

What you hope to get in this comm: I enjoy the discussion prompts on meme and would love to talk more about world building, characterization etc...

Do you want concrit? Always/by request/privately/never. As of now I would say by request, because I’m still working on my first draft. When it’s ready for serious editing concrit will be very much appreciated.

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Always
- Write fic of your characters? Always
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Always
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Always

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? I can’t think of anything!

Thanks for putting this together!

From:

sombregods

second try! sob what is technology

Pseud: sombregods pretty much everywhere (tumblr, ao3, etc), though it's a fairly new pseud. Sara for short.

Your FFA WIPs/verses: So many. :( The main ones (aka the ones I do seriously plan on continuing/rewriting): Edwardian M/M, Rake/Ingenu Pygmalion, Celtic spoils of war, and that deposed prince/traitor ambassador slavefic I need to rewrite entirely.

About you: Been in fandom for twelve years, FFA since ... 2013, I think. Paris nonnie. I talk about my cat a lot. Most of my narrative kinks boil down to loyalty kink, betrayals, and power plays.

What you hope to get in this comm: brainstorming, plotting, exchanging ideas & plotlines, maybe prompting one another? and writing sprints, those are fun. Publishing talk would be nice, too.

Do you want concrit? Hmm. By request, I think. There are times when I just need an honest, straightforward critique — especially since I'm ESL — but I'm not a fan of completely unexpected concrit.

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Sure!
- Write fic of your characters? Why not.
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Absolutely.
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Yup.

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? Hardcore noncon (which is a fine line to cross, because I love dubcon, so it's kind of a case-by-case thing), and infidelity. That's about it.

Hello! :D

From:

emirandivan

...deposed prince/traitor ambassador slavefic I need to rewrite entirely. I am the PITA who always mentions this one in 'WIPs you miss' threads. Sorry :D

From:

sombregods

Noooo don't apologize!! those always make me smile (& certainly have fueled my desire to rewrite it, so props to you) <3

From:

linneacarls

Pseud: Linnea or LC is fine!

Your FFA WIPs/verses: Crossdressing Regency f/f

About you: I love, love, love talking process--mine and other people's. Feel free to ask weird prying questions about my writing, or strike up conversations about how you e.g. outline, or bounce around ideas for fixing plot holes. It's so much fun.

Off meme, I have been in fandom lo these many years but am not currently attached to any particular fandom. Unless you count exchange fandom, which I kind of do.

What you hope to get in this comm: In the interests of improving user experience: Concrit, support on finishing the damn thing, advice and cheerleading on self-pubbing when I do--generally, the opportunity to give and receive both criticism and squee and enjoy the company of readers and writers

Do you want concrit? Always. Outright negativity is also fine if you're talking in threads other than my WIP ones on meme, or anywhere else--but if you're responding directly to my comments, I'd rather you kept it substantive.

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Always
- Write fic of your characters? Always (though I'd appreciate it if you clarify that you're not me, particularly in anon spaces!)
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Always except for podfic of my writing, as I have vague ambitions to do that myself
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Always

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? Not that I can think of. If you're writing explicit noncon or similar I may not want to read it, so I'd rather you didn't link me to it asking for feedback (for example), but feel free to write and post it.

From:

minutia_r

Oh, hi! I used to be a lot more active on meme than I am now (basically a time issue) and I just recently poked my head back in and caught up on Maria and Chatham's adventures, which was probably my favorite meme WIP back when I was reading regularly. (Chatham is a national treasure and an absolute dreamboat.) I also got a couple of friends into it while I was yelling in group chat... would you ever consider posting it on dreamwidth like Emir/Ivan nonnie is doing?

In either case, I'm really glad to hear that you're planning to publish it eventually!

From:

linneacarls

Oh, hey! Our paths have actually crossed in a small, shared fandom of ours, and I'm tickled to know you like my original fic, too.

I was hesitant to put it all in one place, like AO3, if I was just going to pull it for publishing--but I think I might stick it on this DW account for now and lock it when the actual book gots live.

And thank you, this is all lovely to hear. <3

From:

elleth

One of the friends in group chat that Minutia got hooked on your story, and it's pretty much my favourite original thing at the moment, so I just wanted to say thank you, it's a joy to read! ♥

From:

linneacarls

Thank you so much for saying so--I really appreciate hearing it!

From:

otterfic

Just want to say how much I love the f/f Regency story, although I'm still reading through the backlogs. I'm really in awe of your skill at snazzy dialogue.

From:

linneacarls

Oh, thank you! I love writing dialogue. I used to write plays for fun--I think the tricky bit is embedding it in the prose narrative in a convincingly Austenesque way, and I feel a little shaky on that still.

emirandivan

Pseud: can just use my dreamwidth account name

Your FFA WIPs/verses: Emir/Ivan pining princes; sad Victorian brothers, and quite a few of the fuck!library fills

About you: I write fan fic too, and love doing exchanges. I'm usually in the Magnus Archives and The Terror threads.

What you hope to get in this comm: I just hope I can participate a bit more than I manage to do with the current orig fic threads on FFA. My real life is really hectic and maybe it's a time zone thing too, but I always seem to miss a lot of the action and never quite manage to comment! I also seem to be a much slower writer than most, so I'm in awe of people's output and would love to know how you all manage it.

Do you want concrit? by request. A beta on the other hand...

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Always
- Write fic of your characters? Always
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Always
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Always

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? Can't think of anything. I suppose I haven't finalised every part of the plot of the princes one yet so I probably won't discuss that in too much depth (unless people have questions about things that are dealbreakers for them), but fine if others do!

From: (Anonymous)

Wait, you also write Sad Victorian Brothers?? How did I not know this?

From:

emirandivan

I do! Huh, I obviously have never mentioned that. They're my porn outlet while I'm writing all this desperate pining! :D

From:

sigridharem

Pseud: Let's go with Briony, since if I ever self-pub I was gonna use that name.

Your FFA WIPs/verses: F/m reverse harem (Sigrid, Sasha etc) of course, but I'll also fess up to writing Serafin/Dirk. Oh, and Endymion/Belinda if anyone remembers them.

About you: Pretty slow at writing, or at least it feels that way sometimes. I've been on FFA since LJ days, around 2012 I think? Mostly tiny fandoms, currently studying Japanese, former actor.

What you hope to get in this comm: Hm... prompts, feedback (especially on stuff like worldbuilding which isn't my strong suit), encouragement?

Do you want concrit? By request.

Can other people:

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? My major characters nonconning each other, I guess. Villain non-con I might be okay with seeing.

F/m reverse harem (Sigrid, Sasha etc) of course, but I'll also fess up to writing Serafin/Dirk.

:O WHAT. I would never have guessed! I love both, but they’ve always seemed very different to me.

From:

sigridharem

Thank you, I'm pleased to hear that! :D I try not to be super recognizable from story to story, and I definitely approach them differently! (For one thing, despite what Dirk thinks his secrets are... nowhere near as potentially troubling to Serafin as Sasha's are to Sigrid)

From:

anona

Pseud: Uhh, I’m the Loran/Mihas arranged royal marriage nonnie. Currently posting the story on AO3 under “mintybears”

Your FFA WIPs/verses: Obviously Loran/Mihas arranged royal marriage. I did write one other meme origfic approximately a hundred — okay, a couple — years ago.

About you: I used to be a consistent writer for a smallish fandom, but now I rarely have the time or energy for more than passive consumption (for both that fandom and the few others I’m into) :( and am also an infuriatingly slow writer/editor.
I absolutely love arranged marriage and related tropes like marriage of convenience and fake relationship.

What you hope to get in this comm: Discussion, mostly! Whoever came up with the idea of origfic discussion threads on meme is a genius.

Do you want concrit? I don’t have an active WIP, so...by request on any future stories I might write? (AHAHAHA, future stories, that’s a funny joke *cries*)

Can other people: Fill in always/by request/privately/never
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Always
- Write fic of your characters? Always
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Always
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Always
Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? Noncon/dubcon, permanent breakup for the main pairings

From:

ekwallace

Pseud: EK is fine!

Your FFA WIPs/verses: Saskia, Yumino, & North is the WIP I'm focusing on right now. Matt/Xan and Fighter Jet Guy are also mine.

About you: I'm a fandom old-timer, too, and used to write a lot of fic before deciding to focus on original work. I also write erotica (and have one tiny story published).

What you hope to get in this comm: I've been finding the questions in the origfic discussion thread really helpful, and getting comments on my work is encouraging. I usually write quite slowly, but being accountable to meme has helped me go faster.

Do you want concrit? By request. I'm banging out the first draft right now, but I'll probably ask for crit later.

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Sure!
- Write fic of your characters? Go for it. :D
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? I would be delighted by art because I can't even draw a straight line.
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Yeah!

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? I may not read noncon, but you're free to write it if you want.

From:

guardiansverse

Hi can I just say how totally enamoured I am of your descriptions and worldbuilding in the Saskia & North story and also that I am OT3 shipping nonnie there I said it I'm not sorry :D.

From:

ekwallace

Aww, thank you so much! I really like your world-building, too! The level of detail is amazing, and the world feels really lived in, like it goes on far beyond and around what we see in the story.

Also, I totally ship all three of my kids together even if I don't know how canon it'll be yet. :D

From:

myid_letmeshowittoyou

Pseud: I set this pseud up for iddy fics a while ago, so already there. If you want to shorten it that's fine with me though; it's a bit of a mouthful. Lettie could work?

Your FFA WIPs/verses: My id-fics are Harker, the uber!woobie vampire; and Luca/Shehareen, the kinky spaceship/captain couple. I'm also the author of the '3-5 lines' urban fantasy 'verse with Karen, Fox, Griffin, and Abby, and the associated sprawling offshoots - I was going to keep that one firmly apart, but then I wrote some Sam/Cosmo tentacle smut for it, so I'm thinking I'll just have a clean version pseud, and this pseud, and Meme Can Know The Truth. I've also posted a couple of shorts from a post-apocalyptic thing (Ghost the melikor), but that was in-passing.

About you: Been kicking around for years, although I'm no longer really attached to any fandoms as a content maker (this may change though, as the sorry state of the Snatch 2017 tag on AO3 is depressing me). I'm into a lot of crafts, and have a problem in that research can turn into a massive deep-dive. I fucking love the worldbuilding part of writing, so most of my 'verses are things that have been rattling around my head for years, if not decades, with me adding on at intervals.

What you hope to get in this comm: IDK, I'm not picky.

Do you want concrit? Only by request, please.

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Always. I sometimes feel awkward when people ask me directly, because then I have to think of a response (can be difficult if it's a 'no, sorry'), but otherwise have at it.
- Write fic of your characters? I'm a little iffy on this one only because of the same thing pro authors have: what if I was doing that anyway and now I'm in an awkward position? But I'll say Always on the understanding that if someone's hit too close to home I'm still going to post my version with a note to that effect. (I think that's fair enough, right? I'm not being a dick, am I?)
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Always
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Always, although I may not comment for various reasons.

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters?

I can't think of anything, although that may change as people discuss things. I'm squicked by most incest stuff (can't put my finger on why the ones that don't squick me out don't squick me out, either), underage, and non-con between certain characters. I'm capable of quietly noping out though; all I ask is that I be told upfront so that I can avoid seeing something, and/or allowed to quietly nope out (sorry if that sounds defensive, but I've had past incidents where I've been hounded for a response, and then my literal "sorry, X is a squick of mine, but have fun!" was turned into A Grave Insult. Doubt that'll happen here, but once bitten, etc.)

Your FFA WIPs/verses: Homeless Teen/Professional Hitman, and also Seer-Priest/Evil God (whenever I get back to it)

About you: I've been in fandom for maybe 10+ years now; I'm a regular in Star Wars and LOTR fandoms, and more recently Magnus Archives. I'm mostly writing my meme WIPs for fun and to get the ideas out of my head, but I do hope to publish something original some day.

What you hope to get in this comm: Discussion, mainly, and challenges would be fun!

Do you want concrit? By request.

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters?
I won't read it if it's got my DNWs in it (listed below) but I don't mind you writing/discussing it, so long as you're aware I probably/maybe won't look at it.
DNWs: Scat + watersports, strict BDSM relationships, de-aging, infantilization

From:

summerstars

Pseud: Sparks

Your FFA WIPs/verses: the catpeople one, tentatively the overall series (since I'm hoping for at least one sequel) is named 13 Fortunes of Spring.

About you: I mostly write fanfic (severely burned by the ST in Star Wars...), and this is my first original fic forever. I RP, both here on DW and elsewhere. I work in a library!

What you hope to get in this comm: Discussion prompts, worldbuilding (I love worldbuilding, it's so much fun reading others' answers for these), headcanon... if I get stuck plot-wise, maybe brainstorming.

Do you want concrit? By request only.

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Absolutely
- Write fic of your characters? Sure
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? I'd be delighted.
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Of course. It's not like it's not going to happen in canon too.

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? Scat/watersports, gore, amnesia plots. Otherwise, nothing else I don't think.

About you: My hobby is staring at a story that I need to edit and starting a new one instead. I can be found writing random snippets of origfic and Check Please fic on FFA.

What you hope to get in this comm: Fun? I don't know. I've been enjoying the origfic threads, so here I am.

Do you want concrit? By request - I'm pretty open to concrit of stories that are done, although getting it privately is nice. (And pointing out the many typos is always welcome.)

Can other people:
- Make headcanons/speculate about your characters? Always
- Write fic of your characters? By request - only finished stories
- Create other derivative works of your characters (art, etc.)? Always
- Create explicit fanwork of your characters? Always

Is there anything you don't want to see discussed/created in relation to your characters? Just don't be that much of an asshole.

I...I think I need to lie down (or am I the only one who didn't know these were all by the same person?)...but for real, I'm in awe of your productivity.

From: (Anonymous)

I've admitted to writing both The Prince's Progress and Escort vs. Sugar Baby because someone once brought them both up in the same comment and I was all, "Coincidentally ..."

But if anyone knew they were all me, I'd like to know to figure out what gave me away. (Although I think once they're all together my id is all too obvious.)

As for productivity, I'm one of those who aims for just getting words on the page in the first draft. Plus, some of these are unfinished and all written over years. Meme has been great for my productivity, honestly. Enchanted Rings is novella length, and the first thing longer than a short story I ever finished.

From:

emirandivan

I've read everything else you've written, but don't remember this one: Ravishment Silliness (Evil Vizier/Afif/Prince Sofian). Do you have links? Dememe is still down I think.

From:

I have links, but probably won't be able to grab and post them until tomorrow.

About you: I write a bunch of original stuff but this is the only one I'm basically doing on meme. Eventually, I might work up enough bravery to attach myself to my other stuff here.

What you hope to get in this comm: Discussion? Interaction with likeminded origficcers?

Do you want concrit? I'm not dropping in specifically to get crit, but I don't mind if someone points out both the things that do and don't work.
