transformative works policy

If you are interested in remixing, podficcing, translating, creating fanart, or creating secondary fanwork of any fic I have posted, consider this a thumbs up from me to you! No need to ask my permission ahead of time. All I ask is that you link back to my work and credit me. Also, I'd love to see what you did and share it on the associated fic!If you are interested in bookbinding one of my fics, I'm cool with this, so long as you do not create copies to sell for profit.For podfics, if you need to tweak some words to improve the flow of the audio, go for it.However, you do not have permission to archive any of my fics. Please do not copy-paste my fics onto another platform, regardless if you claim it as your own or not.You also do not have permission to feed my writing into any AI-learning bullshit. Full stop.

frequently asked questions

Where did you get your username from?
It's inspired by my favorite character ever, Celes Chere from Final Fantasy VI. Her unique ability is called "Runic" and she is known as a magitek knight. When I first made my AO3 account, I intended to write for FFVI and opted for a fandom-appropriate name.What do you use for writing?
Scrivener for drafting/editing, WordCounter and OnlineUtility for line editing, and Word for final proofreading.Do you listen to anything when writing?
While drafting, I stick with quieter instrumental songs. While editing, I like more lo-fi/synthwave beats (also instrumental).How do you write so much?
A combination of constant brainrot, ADHD meds, and spite. Ok but legit? A lot of practice. Keep chipping away at something every day and it will develop into a habit.Any writing tips?
The first draft is always you telling yourself the story. Screw all writing tips during that first draft and just get it out of your head (you can fix it later). Be as unapologetically self-indulgent as possible. Remember to take breaks. If an idea hits you, write it down because no, you will NOT remember it in an hour. Who cares if your first draft is shit; take that shit, turn it into manure, and let your story bloom.Will you write more for (insert character/ship/fandom here)?
Maybe! My interests shift over time, so it's difficult to predict what I'll write more of, but I'll never say no to writing about my faves.Can you write (insert specific story idea here)?
I do not take unsolicited prompts. Sometimes I'll open up prompts via Bsky/Tumblr once in a blue moon, but that's it.Can I commission you for a fic?
While I'm flattered, I do not accept payment in exchange for a fic.Can we do a collab?
Unless we are close friends, I am not available for collaborative creations.Are you interested in joining (insert project here) as a guest writer?
Maybe! Feel free to DM me on social media with the details/timeline and I'll see if it piques my interest + aligns with my schedule.Can I gift you something on AO3?
Sure! My account is set to welcome any gifts.Can you read something I wrote?
While I'd love to read everything sent my way, my time and energy are limited, thus I cannot promise I'll specifically read your story.
