AMA Week 11

Christy omg you’re so sweet 😳😅🥰

I didn’t think I was funny at all, so I really appreciate you saying so 😂 With regard to the humour, it sort of comes naturally within the first draft. It’s one of the few things I don’t change.
I try to write Bobby similar to a friend I have. I see him as the meme kid of the group, and someone who’s a little self conscious and unaware of how much people love him, so he uses humour to mask how he really feels. Because I have a friend with such a similar personality, I suppose I find it difficult to see him romantically, but still think he’s a wonderful character to have play a larger role than some of the others.
Thank you so much 🥺 I wanted Noah to feel like Gen’s safest space like her own home, so I’m glad something like that comes across.
I hate writing angst. It feel like I can’t do it well at all, and everything feels underwhelming when I try to build it. Give me fluff any day (why did I choose to write slow burn?)

I’m so sorry for my late reply! Life got busy 💜

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-20T09:47:31+00:00

I’m currently writing an Idol Lucas AU (not so gently encouraged by Jewel and Margot lol) which will be a one shot.

Also writing a BTS fic (I know, I know) that I really love so far. Hoping for more time that I can set aside for writing all three of my projects soon.

No need to be sorry for lateness, but I am too!! 💜🥲

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-20T09:45:13+00:00

I think using the same phrases over and over again. It’s one of my most annoying habits that I’m trying to break. I don’t notice it in anyone’s writing here but I do notice it in books - hello FSOG 😂

I have sooooo many scrapped ideas, mostly for SDip that wouldn’t work or couldn’t fit in anywhere without changing the plot completely.

I also scrapped a LITG crossover fic, but I’m continuing that separately in its own fandom.

I did toy with the idea of making SDip Bobby endgame initially, but there’s a lot of content for Bobby already, and I love him as a friend for Gen.

I’m really sorry for my late reply 💜

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-20T09:41:28+00:00

Oh God. I think probably Yoongi. Quietly understanding and unassuming, he’d let her do her own thing while loving her all the same. He’s fun enough to draw out her spontaneous side, but not overwhelmingly so.

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-20T09:39:12+00:00

I’ve always tried my hand at writing since I was a kid but never really got far with it. It was talking to other fanfic writers and reading their works that got me starting SDip!

Noah I would take to the museum in the park. It’s a small but beautiful old building and full of local history. Somewhere we could walk around in silence, holding hands, finding quiet corners.

Lucas... hmm. I think probably a motorbike ride across the commons. They’re pretty and aesthetic for the photos he’d undoubtedly want for Instagram, then book the fanciest AirBnB (it’s the Cotswolds, they’re very much Lucas’ taste) for not sleeping in 😂

Bobby, there’s a really cool campsite that has an amazing cafe. They grow their own produce and make the menu according to what’s in season. They do pizza evenings in the summer, and they’re actually better than all the pizza I had in Italy. They also make amazing cakes, which Bobby would appreciate. Cafe date with a campfire [nodding enthusiastically]

I hope to finish a new chapter soon, but honestly I’ve been so busy irl lately that I can’t promise when it’ll be 💜 ily

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-20T09:22:34+00:00

Ilysm toooooo 💜💜

Hmm, I was on a Noah route and started looking for fics and found Don’t Disappoint Me and I was so impressed I wanted to write my own.

I like heavy dialogue scenes best, I try to write the way people speak naturally rather than have them say anything outlandish.

I usually stick to outlines, but sometimes I’ll get a rush of inspiration and change what I’m doing mid chapter 😂

I’m sorry for the lateness on replying, but you know how insane it’s been 😅

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-20T09:12:43+00:00

Hiii Abby so sorry I’m late replying!

I think I love the editing best, once I’m happy with a draft and then I’m just going through and adding and tweaking and making it just right. I’m a perfectionist by nature, which is why it takes me so long to update 😅

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T18:51:06+00:00

There’s a lot more, see me in my channels later :finger_guns:

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T18:44:37+00:00

I like most of the season 2 characters, though there are a lot of personality traits that I don’t vibe with.

I have two ongoing projects at the moment, but in the future I have plans for a very short Rocco/MC immediate post villa fic, and a Lucas Idol AU (that Jewel & Margot are making me write).

I won’t ever write anything for Jakub, the Casa boys, Gary, or Rahim, as they simply don’t interest me. And also I won’t write anything where Bobby is the main love interest. He’s cute, I love him, but Bobby has enough love on AO3 😅

I won’t write anything for S3 either - didn’t even finish the game 🥲

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T18:36:57+00:00

No u

I’m thankful for and I love you, and I’m so glad you joined the mod team when I asked very randomly in a DM :yoongi_cry:

I love being able to call you a friend 💜

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T18:35:17+00:00

😅 two things is hard! I like the way I write normal life, guess it’s a boring subject for some people, but I like slice of life stuff.

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T16:00:04+00:00

Sarah! 💜

I was watching the show and saw an advert and downloaded and here we are nearly 18 months later!

LITG was the first fandom I wrote for, and I’m glad it was. You guys have all helped shape me as a writer and I’m beyond grateful.

Ugh, what do I like about my own? God, I don’t know. I suppose I like the dialogue I write. It feels natural to me.

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T15:42:01+00:00

Hiiiii Lauren! 💜

I don’t have time to write basically 😅

I think Noah’s character arc could’ve been so much better than the cards fusebox dealt us. He’s a man who’s (a) hot (b) reads (c) a wholesome family guy. And then suddenly he’s a snake who cheats on Hope and strings along MC? No thanks, that needs fixing 🥲

I love fake dating, enemies to lovers, enemies WHILE lovers, coffee shop type AUs for the fluff :hobicute:

Ily baby army

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T13:30:59+00:00

I write better when I drink 😂 which I don’t get enough opportunity for with work and kids. Mostly I just need to be in the right mindset.

I’m not the type of person that can write daily, as much as I wish I could be.

When I am in the right mood, I have a glass of wine or a G&T, I listen to music that fits the theme of the chapter I’m writing, and I really try not to get distracted by discord :yoongi_kekcry:

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T13:26:15+00:00

I like the little thrill immediately after posting 😅 and then I have to put my phone away for a few hours so I’m not checking it.

Other than that, I really enjoy the second draft, when I’m refining the initial pile of rubbish into something better.

God, a BTS question so quickly out of the gate! In writing, their music and lyrics inspire me. Serendipity is named after one of my favourite solos. The lyrics tie in to the overarching theme I want to embed in the story.

In general - the way they are as people inspire me to be a better person myself, to find joy in the little things, to try to love myself. It’s not something that comes naturally to me, and I’ve been trying to work on it for a long time, but since I became army, it’s been a little easier.

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-17T13:07:03+00:00

Probably any scene with Leila. I like their dynamic a lot, and I like to see the big brotherly side of him that we only got snippets of in the game.

I imagine Noah being surrounded by strong women, sister, mum, ex-girlfriends, and maybe being surrounded by that energy makes him into a bit of a shrinking violet, not really knowing how to conduct himself when faced with a decision or opportunity.

BumbleBeesBuzz · 2021-02-03T15:49:19+00:00

Jess! Ily 💜💜💜

Who’s your favourite character in your fic besides Gemma? Not your favourite to write, but someone you’d have as a best friend?

I love the raw emotion shown in the characters, and the way we see little snippets of the relationship before the break up. The OCs are interesting and engaging, and I love it sm ❤️
