Sesskag Fandom - Tumblr Posts
I wish there was more or just a glimpse of how much she suffered losing Touga. Maybe she was really heartbroken and blamed herself her whole life and maybe she died because her suffering led to health issues. what if she couldn’t have been happy for Inuyasha’s birthday because Touga died saving them? https://www.patreon.com/posts/53679095

December Author Spotlight - Harlecorn
Q: Where can we find you and your stories? A: AO3, Dokuga,and FFnet
Q: How would you describe your writing style? A: I’m pretty bad at judging my own stuff, so I asked some friends and they gave me their opinions. (Their answers made me smile stupidly, cuz they’re so sweet.) The consensus is, apparently, that my work is consistent, passionate, and “fluffy town”, while keeping the characters relatively believable and relatable in their portrayal.
Q: What’s one thing you’d tell someone who is considering reading one of your fics? A: Again, I asked my friends and their answers were to “enjoy the ride”.
While my characters can (and kinda often do) deviate from strictly canon, I try to provide reason for it and explain the *why* of the changes. I’ve never minded OOC characters, but I myself like to know what motivates a character to be that way, especially if it’s a canon diverge, which all of my stories (so far, at the time of filling out the questionnaire) have been.
I’m a bit of a zealot when it comes to editing, and while I don’t know if that will factor into most folks reading experience, I do try to go back and re-edit my works periodically to catch any slips I made or missed in the initial run-through.
I try very hard to stick to a regular uploading schedule so the works don’t get abandoned/orphaned (though SHM definitely lost the bet on that one- I do intend to go back and do something with it, but I kinda got lost along the way with it and it honestly needs an overhaul (read: a complete rewrite).
Q: How do you get/stay inspired to write? (ie: playlists, aesthetics, fanart, this blog, etc.) A: It varies. Music definitely is a huge part of it, but my stories have all been born out of a dream I’ve had. Be it an idea from the dream that stuck with me, or an entire scene. Where the inspiration for my rando dreams come from, who knows :D
Q: What’s your favorite SessKag moment from Inuyasha and why? A: To be honest, it’s been so long since I’ve seen the anime (let alone seen any of the manga) that my memory for specific scenes are often a little fuzzy. I’ve been reading fanfic for InuYasha for so long that I sometimes confuse canon with fanon.
Q: What do you like most about the SessKag fandom? A: I’m relatively new to actually interacting with folks in the fandom and not just lurking to read stories. It’s one of the main fandoms I’ve been consuming for years though, and it honestly blows me away how talented so many of the fan authors and artists are for this fandom.

Q: Where can we find you and your stories? A: AO3, Dokuga, FFnet, and Tumblr
Q: How would you describe your writing style? A: Fluffy. I can’t write stories without a happy ending. And I’d say I’m good at keeping people in character as well (I’ve gotten a lot of comments that say that at least).
Q: What’s one thing you’d tell someone who is considering reading one of your fics? A: Prepare to be buried in fluff! There won’t be any angst without purpose, so it’s definitely the place to go if you want to feel better.
Q: How do you get/stay inspired to write? (ie: playlists, aesthetics, fanart, this blog, etc.) A: Music. Music music music. 90% of my ideas are based off songs. And my musical taste is basically “everything I like except the stuff I don’t”, so it ranges from Disney, musicals, pop, rock, country, oldies (1950-1970s). I’m also inclined to Discord shenanigans as well. Basically my imagination is a curse cuz someone will mention a vague idea and a new story will enter in my mind fully formed. FULLY FORMED.
Q: What’s your favorite SessKag moment from Inuyasha and why? A: Oh man.. There’s so many. Aside from their first interaction inside his father’s tomb (which is mentioned the most), I’d say the part during the final battle where Kagome wakes up inside Naraku and Sesshoumaru is keeping her safe from random youkai. It just shows how much he’s changed and I love how the fact that she notices the changes is showcased as well.
Q: What do you like most about the SessKag fandom? A: Oh man, definitely the people. I’ve found a group of fantastic mutuals that love (and encourage) my shenanigans. Everyone is so supportive, especially since I see myself as a newer author. Come for the stories, stay for the peeps. Plus the fact that no one gets tired of reading/drawing about these two falling in love is wonderful!

Maybe I’m the only one, but I wish Sesshomaru hadn’t regained his arm. Just like, coming into his own strength, that story, feels more poignant to me if it’s inclusive of his disability.
August 2022 Author Spotlight - forthright
Q: Where can we find you and your stories? A: Hi, there! I’m forthright, and all of my SessKag fanfiction is found on https://www.fanfiction.net/~forthright. I’ve also begun telling original tales as forthright. The Amaranthine Saga and Songs of the Amaranthine are available everywhere in print, digital, and audio. Plus, I have some Patreon-exclusive serials underway at https://www.patreon.com/forthrightly. To catch up with what’s going on with me and my stories, visit ForthWrites.com.
Q: How would you describe your writing style? A: My stories are usually gently-paced adventures with romantic leanings. Humor is a must, and tissues may be needed, but everything happens for a reason.
Q: What’s one thing you’d tell someone who is considering reading one of your fics? A: Thank you for taking a chance on me. I hope to reward your trust.
Q: How do you get/stay inspired to write? (ie: playlists, aesthetics, fanart, this blog, etc.) A: Oh, I have my little routines. Early hours. Quiet music. Personal challenges. Self-imposed deadlines. With fanfiction, especially, there’s a sense of a waiting audience. Hearing from readers is always a treat.
Q: What’s your favorite SessKag moment from Inuyasha and why? A: Don’t laugh. Sometimes, I often get head!canon confused with what actually happened in the anime/manga. So I’ll be thinking, “Remember that time when Kagome met Sesshoumaru’s mom?” And then I have to stop and think, “Waitaminute. *Did* that happen? I remember it so clearly!” (I’m too used to tangling my events with Rumiko Takahashi’s.)
Q: What do you like most about the SessKag fandom? A: Our willingness to explore possibilities.

WIP Challenge
Rules: “post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. (You can make your own post or reblog this one!) I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? DND campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!”
