Bonus!! Decoy questions/author questionsA few weeks ago, we made a post about the questions we send to recipients when authors need to clarify something about their recipients' preferences.

As a result of that poll, in a situation where an author has a fandom-specific question, we will now send questions for at least 3 fandoms in a person's requests, but will not generally make up extra/decoy questions for their full set of fandoms.

You suggested that curious authors could make up (some of) their own extra questions. While that could be helpful - if you want to - we ask you to keep the following things in mind.

  1. Clear questions are the best questions. Several times in the past we've received extremely confusing questions and it turned out a participant thought they needed to disguise what they were asking from the mods. Please do not.

  2. Avoid excessive detail, especially about plots you don't plan to write. Don't ask your recipient "Would you be interested in a story where they time-travel to meet five different generations of their ancestors, and also there are capybara zombies?" unless you are contemplating such a plot (and maybe not even then) - because you may make your recipient hopeful about something that won't arrive.

  3. Avoid being disingenuous about things that are actually clear to you. Try to ask about points of reasonable ambiguity. If you ask your recipient things like "You said you don't want any mention of hospitals, but is it okay if a character has a headache?" you could stress them out by making them wonder if they need to re-write their DNWs, or by making them wonder if you have wildly misinterpreted other parts of their requests. Decoy questions require a little creativity… but not too much. Save most of your creativity for the actual writing.


And again - you are not obliged to provide decoy questions! If you need to ask your recipient something, all we need from you is: 1) what information you need, and 2) who you are. That's great! We can take care of the rest.

Oi! Tudo bem?

Nascida em 2002, sou assexual, multirromântica, preta, carioca da gema e bastante revoltada com os governos estadual, nacional e mundiais.

Gosto de gatos, cozinhar, gargalhar alto. Gosto, também, de Grand Chase, Seventeen, alta fantasia e não-ficção.

Como todos os outros, sou uma miríade.

Finquei meus pés na blogosfera em 2018, lançando o blog Anotações Esparsas, cujo qual eu viria a coautorar com o Carlos, um colega meu, até eu me retirar da equipe. Como poderá ler no texto: “Com anos de atraso, hoje eu me apresento a vocês”, deixei o AE porque cresci para além dele, embora minha proposta com o EON seja quase idêntica.

Minha proposta de falar de fanfics, fandom e cultura de fãs continuará, porém com a adição positiva de mais de mim. Mais do que escrevo, mais do que penso, e, principalmente, mais do que sou. Por aqui, você, fanfimor, lerá sobre minhas fics, e das releituras que eu fizer, e artigos tratando das opiniões que eu me reprimi compartilhar publicamente por tantos anos.

Como estou adulta — para o meu pavor —, espere por publicação lenta. Minhas prioridades serão minha carreira e minha vida pessoal, então escrever para blog será terciário, por vezes quaternário. Quando o influxo alcançar o estopim, darei as caras por aqui para extravasar um pouco. Não sei escrever demais, e não sei ficar sem escrever. Estranho como são as coisas, não?

No âmbito de escrever e postar fanfics, não tem diferença; escreverei devagar, postarei quase nunca. Dito isso, a feitiçaria que a KOG Studios fez não me deixa sair do fandom, e, por isso, as chances de eu postar uma oneshot ou shortfic são baixas, mas nunca zero. Se eu não estiver fazendo isso, então estou quebrando a cabeça com minha longfic Lass/Elesis — ‘O conto inscrito na lâmina’. Quando der na telha, comento dela por aqui.
