I am Fawn and I prefer he/him. Hopefully starting HRT this year, and at 27 I figure it's time to work for my own happiness.
Full Disclosure, I am an easily excitable baby deer. Occasionally, I will over react with all of the positive intentions in the world.
Single Father to an 18mo old son and a 4yr old persian. I love them both, but, I cannot wait for my son to leave diapers.
I'm pursuing a BA in English and Creative Writing, but because I'm crazy I'm attending full time. Granted, it's online, but you should never underestimate online college course work.
I write fanfic for the Bleach, Assassin's Creed fandoms in the few hours I can scrape together when I'm not taking care of my son or slogging through course work.
I will happily admit that I am a novice when it comes to actually posting fic on AO3, and for the handful of fic's I've posted, the response and feedback have caused happy tears.
I am a self titled, "dumpster fire" of ideas. Once I get started, it's hard to stop.
My current fandom obsessions are AC 1- Revelations & Bleach. I do enjoy a variety of other fandoms, but it's hard to pull me away from these two.
Canon Divergence, Alternate Universe, Crossovers, Time Travel, Fix-it.
These are the bread and butter of my life and resisting is almost impossible.
I haven't participated in any bingo fests, so, I'm excited to start.

Date: 2021-02-01 07:24 pm (UTC)That's really interesting though. Taking a thing and dropping it on fandom and going, "how does this fit or change x." I hadn't really considered that, but you learn new things every day.<<
Most of the best cross-fandom tropes (ABO, daemons, etc.) are things that somebody thought up and other folks decided to play with. I've even had people do it with mine, like the meaningful wings from Fledgling Grace.
>> "Time Travel is a Jenga game."
Oh no
My brain has already zoomed out one fic idea per fandom XD <<
Okay, here's the basic concept: I came up with this from a combination of quantum physics, temporal theory, history momentum, and being frustrated about the "fixed point in time" bullshit in time-travel canons. It only seems fixed because characters don't know enough to change it.
Events have mass and momentum. Small ones are easy to change, like moving one block in a Jenga tower. Big ones are harder to change, because other events pin them in place, the way a block can be trapped by the weight of other blocks. So to move the block you want, sometimes you have to move several others first. To change a big event, you have to identify the small events feeding into it and change them first.
Example: a common history exercise is to ask, "At what point did World War II become inevitable?" People often say right after WWI when the winners imposed abusive restrictions on the losers. It's a credible point, but there were many other things that fed into it. Hitler getting rejected from art school was another. To avoid WWII, you would have to change a bunch of things in order to rob it of momentum. Change only one -- like removing Hitler -- and the war would still happen, just minus its most charismatic leader.
Now apply that to any fandom. Individual character choices are small changes. Character development arcs, season plot lines, etc. are large changes. For each of the large ones, you have to think what important points feed into the big one you want to change -- usually the changeable ones will be in earlier episodes and the big harder-to-change ones in later episodes.
