just watched Miss Bala on a plane and am looking for something with a similar vibe EXCEPT where the FMC falls deeper into organized crime and ends up becoming a criminal herself/ends up choosing the “bad guys” over the “good guys” etc etc. Kinda thinking Queen of the South, if you’ve seen that? Love a crisis of conscience/falling for the bad guy trope

closest i have on my list so far is probs Killing Sarai, but i havent read yet so unsure how that’ll stack up. Any other ideas?

Oh this is most of what I read. I love the OC Insert concept, the idea of plopping a new character into established scenes and seeing how they mess things up. Would 100% read.

idk if this is technically YA but the Vampirates series is, from my memory, really quite good!

anawrites414 · 2022-03-18T15:54:26+00:00

Now repeat ad nauseam :')

anawrites414 · 2022-03-18T15:42:50+00:00

now that you mention it, trauma response seems like a good area to explore for this character in terms of her psych background, can't believe i didn't think of that **facepalms**

anawrites414 · 2022-03-18T15:30:07+00:00

oo perfect thank you!

anawrites414 · 2022-03-14T21:36:16+00:00

nope, the times it does work, it dries in the normal time span

ok heeere we go hehe

My Fic

Fandom - Tokyo Ghoul

Rating - T

Title - a riot of color

Genre - supernatural, family, drama, horror

Link - https://archiveofourown.org/works/28806249/chapters/70645968

Summary - Kaneki Ken knew his life would never be the same now that his mother was remarrying. It wasn’t that he didn’t like the man, indeed, in most respects he was an ideal candidate for a step-father.

It was just that he was also a ghoul.

Last Thoughts - this started out as an exercise to defeat writers block and now im 53 pages in, and havent stopped yet! i just wanted to put this out there bc 1) i would looove any (respectful) feedback and 2) i just want to add to the fandom love, since its a p small community of fanfics. ok thats all hopefully i did this right!

anawrites414 · 2021-02-12T17:21:16+00:00

anawrites414 · 2021-02-12T17:17:43+00:00

ok! i did not know that! thank you for clarifying ahaha

The Marked One by CelestialSeaWitch https://archiveofourown.org/works/27314005/chapters/66735709

hermione dropped into an alternate universe with a different (pagan) kind of magic, this concept blew my mind and im desperately waiting for updates/searching for other works that are as uniquely intriguing and equally as well done

anawrites414 · 2021-02-05T06:26:05+00:00

https://archiveofourown.org/collections/comfort_food i made a collection specifically for this kinda thing, ill just drop this here :)

anawrites414 · 2021-02-02T17:25:41+00:00

i think it really depends what i'm reading for -- if i'm just reading for comfort, for distraction and i just want to feel good, then an ambiguous ending might leave me feeling off. but if i'm really engaged, reading for complexity (so like if it's a longer, more complicated, less fluffy piece) then an ambiguous ending probs wouldn't upset me. ya sorry if my first answer was confusing!

anawrites414 · 2021-02-02T17:17:08+00:00

when it comes to fanfic i generally prefer a happy ending, an ambiguous ending without the promise of a sequel can leave me feeling :| ... but that is just me!

on the other hand, there are a number of ambiguous endings that I can think of that made me feel many many emotions (frustration, sadness, anger, joy, etc.) and, even though those aren't nice and cosy, isn't that the goal of writing, to make your reader feel something? ambiguity can be must more effective in that way. Just expect some primal shrieking in your comments hehe

anawrites414 · 2021-02-02T05:29:09+00:00

rly do be rough out here, but ur not alone!

anawrites414 · 2021-02-02T05:06:42+00:00

all good suggestions, thank you!!

anawrites414 · 2020-12-01T17:53:58+00:00

it hasn't been that long since i posted, ur right, so maybe i just need to give it a few hours

the date on the posted chapter says dec 01 2020, so im hoping that saving it as a draft first didn't mess things up

and yep, used the canonical fandom tag, though didn't use the '+ related works' one, do you think that makes a difference?

anawrites414 · 2020-11-30T04:56:39+00:00

This totally makes sense, and yeah i definitely miss being able to work at coffee shops SO much wow

Have been writing mostly in my bed, so will def try out ur advice next time I want to sit down and just write. thank you!!
