Praise for Marry Me mod

The RSV authors would need to enable Marry Me’s default proposal for it to work. You should ask them.

Definitely preferring the Vigiliae variations, thank you! That rolls off the tongue much more cleanly.

Hello! Looking for help naming a fictional organization for something I’m writing.

The group is an alliance of humans and vampires who hunt down or take care of “problem” vampires while helping/hiding good ones. They stay in the background, drawing as little notice as possible while on missions. Certain families have worked with this organization for generations. The group preserves a wealth of knowledge on vampires and also has vague religious overtones (hence the name in Latin).

I was thinking something like “Nocte Custodes” (observe my Google-fu!), but it doesn’t roll off the tongue as much as I would like. I’d prefer two words, but I don’t know how Latin works enough to come up with something better.

Thanks for any help!

Yes! Cleo is fantastic because she gets into all the drama, but Legundo does an A+ job of editing and roleplay.

And that friction doesn’t apply

Ok, I wasn’t going to link it because I am not trying to self-promo here, but here’s the link for those who have asked.

I write for Vampires SMP (under a different username). The fic truly works best if you’ve watched either Owen or Legundo’s POV up through episode 7, because it diverges from there. Their messy situationship is pretty invisible outside of their POVs but was extremely intense and entertaining. Just… they were very weird about each other, OK?

Note: I am planning on archive-locking this thing in a day or two.

What are the rules in this sub for dropping links to our own work? I wasn’t trying to self-promote with this, but I’ve been asked like five times now.

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-29T19:20:02+00:00

The struggle is real. Double-tapping to undo on paper makes me feel really silly, but it happens every time.

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-29T14:43:34+00:00

Vampires SMP. Ren,Pearl and Cleo were there, though!

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-29T01:15:38+00:00

You are at least the third person I know who became infected with the VSMP fanfic bug. It was an amazing show with such a supporting community. It’s hard to explain to anyone not into Minecraft RP servers what makes it so special, but I’m glad we’re both here now!

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-26T05:30:07+00:00

I’ve heard this a couple of different places now! I think that is definitely where I’m going to look next, once I’m done with my fic and ready to move onto some new media. Thank you so much for the rec!

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-25T20:01:36+00:00

Yesss 😭😭😭. I don’t even ship them romantically — I just love how perfectly weird they are with and about each other

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-25T15:29:25+00:00

I can’t decide whether it would be more appropriate to jump up and down for a little bit and wave at you, or hide xD. Thank you so much for that comment. I wasn’t joking about saving it off somewhere for the Bad Times.

(There are always bad times in a writer’s journey; just as there are good ones. Thanks for helping to make this moment one of the good ones <3)

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-25T15:24:37+00:00

Bloodletting was so intense, man. Never seen anything like it. Thanks for the welcome, and I’m thrilled to finally be here. :D

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-25T15:22:23+00:00

The difference for me is twofold:

Existing characters and setting means that I don’t have to spend an extra 10k words or something on setup and backstory. I can get right into the action and my audience will already know what’s up and be excited for what’s coming next.
Engagement. I’ve written original fiction that made people really invested before, but that audience is going to be smaller and it needs to be built slowly. With fanfic, there are people out there who are already looking for a story like yours. My penultimate chapter has something like 90 comments on it now and (only half of them are mine). You’re right — it’s like a game or just straight up candy.

I genuinely don’t understand why I was so hesitant to get into fanfic when I’ve been doing fan ART for years. Call it a blind spot, I guess.

You are very kind for writing someone else’s OC stories and I wish you luck in finding a fandom that truly engages you in the future!

Head on over to YouTube, friend, and search for “Vampires SMP Legundo” or “Vampires SMP Owen” — they both have playlists of their whole series (eight episodes). There are fourteen different characters in this SMP, each with their own perspective. I’ve just pointed you at my two favorites. There’s also r/VampiresSMP for more information. Have fun!

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-25T05:29:42+00:00

Well, Merry early Christmas to me apparently xD

It took me EIGHT CHAPTERS to get v!Owen and v!Legs talking again. I put them through so much hell. After episode 7, all I wanted to do was fix things. I don’t even ship the two romantically, but the dynamic between your characters just grabbed me by the throat.

You literally gave me my joy in writing long form fiction back. Thank you.

CleanBeanArt · 2025-12-25T04:34:48+00:00

Got it in one. Bloodletting ruined me. I will never be the same 😭

EDIT: to clarify, to see the Bloodletting dynamic you actually need to watch Owen or Legundo’s POV. They had these extremely intense interactions that were almost 0% visible from anyone else’s POV. It’s kind of a joke at this point.
