WriterofthePrompts Ultimate Ask Masterlist

I’ve decided to make a masterlist of asks I’ve done to make them easier to find for you guys (and for myself). I split them into categories as best as I could by genre and topic. Also, some asks have some helpful tips in the notes as well to check out (some are marked but not all) and if you have anything to add that you think would help, feel free to reply or reblog with your addition. I’ll try to keep it updated with future asks.

Now without further ado, the strangest and most wonderful list I’ve ever made.

tfw you find stories or docs you've written ages ago and feel a genuine full-body cringe wash over you

i cannot possibly start another piece but:

Bad and Crazy AU where instead of pushing him to do good, and being his conscience, Moonjo is trying to rile Jongwoo, who's a good-hearted albeit unhinged police man, up.

---

Gotta step up my binge-watching game tbh, i've been getting weak😳

Spot the difference

---

"damn your love, damn your lies" Ed has me all up in my feels, I haven't drawn this much in a while

---

Absolutely devoured This is How You Lose the Time War while dealing with train delay today and omg I've never felt so many feelings at once?? The prose-esque writing left me detached from reality wtf

---

"what, you think this is human meat?"

woowowow guess who got over their art block? with a realistic moonjo portrait :)

Hey, could you tell me a little about "Heart-shaped box" and "Overshot the target"? <3

Ofcc <33

So, "Overshot the target" is not about Strangers from Hell, but a trilogy called The Locked Tomb that's essentially just lesbian necromancers and sword women in space. So it's about Gideon and Harrowhark but a 1960s Summer Camp counselors AU in which they have the same enemies to lovers thing going on that they do in the novels but in a less fantastical setting.

Still not very fleshed out, but I want to make Gideon a muscular jock and Harrowhark a fencer (which is also them in canon but less fantastical xdd)

Probably won't be longer than a One-Shot (albeit a ~20k one xd)

"Heart-shaped box" however is a Strangers from Hell wip. It's a ghost-hunting au sort of?

In this AU Jongwoo moves to a countryside village to get away from his mom and girlfriend (who all live in Busan) bc said village is pretty close to a mysterious hotel that's sort of always been there and due to the surrounding landscape and its location being pretty isolated it's quite beloved by celebrities. But it's also supposedly haunted.

Now this is where another wip (the "herb doctor ghost" one) comes into play, bc I don't know how I want to connect the ideas. But essentially some centuries ago Moonjo was a really skilled doctor who worked a lot with herbs and could seemingly cure anything to the point that he had gotten a reputation. Namely that he was in kahoots with some demonic things, and that was he some sort of witch, which resulted in him being killed.

(I know that shamans or witches in historical Korea being killed was not that common, they were more likely just ostrasized or shunned according to brief research, but for the sake of this AU Moonjo was simply an outlier.)

So now, ~300 years later, Moonjo haunts the grounds on which he was killed, and the hotel that was built on top of them. And Jongwoo and new-found friends in the village decide to go on a little excursion to the hotel and see whether or not it's really haunted.

It might be too much for a one-shot, but maybe 2-3 long chapters like my Crimson Peak AU

moonjo as frank n' furter reigning over the other weirdos of the Eden residence, and then there's jongwoo as brad who's got the worst luck apparently
