EmmyLynna: Writing Omegaverse Fics for Everyone is a 2017 interview with EmmyLynna, a Yuri!!! on Ice fanfic writer. She was interviewed by Sarabel from the Yuuri/Victor fanfic blog, viktuurificwriters.

Excerpts

Not everybody enjoys Omegaverse AUs. This is understandable because such fics can get quite… iffy… and just too much. But then again, it is important to emphasize that not all omegaverse fics are like that. Some fics are still located on what can be called as the “innocent side” of the entire omegaverse spectrum. EmmyLynna’s works are just some examples of such fics.

EmmyLynna (@emmylynna) is the author of the Entwined series, which is composed of several fics following the love story of Viktor and Yuuri from childhood to adulthood. The story starts with a seven-year old Viktor who instantly gets a crush on a six-year old Yuuri while in school. Viktor then decides to claim Yuuri as his mate and from then on works hard to prove his love to Yuuri, even when all the adults around them think they’re just playing at some kind of game.

The series includes Precocious, First Comes Love, then Comes Marriage, then Comes Yuuri with a Baby Carriage!, Blocked on Multiple Fronts, A Toast to the Newlyweds!, and Where You Go I Follow.

Moreover, EmmyLynna is the kind of writer who balances in coming up with original ideas and in catering to what readers want. She relates a lot to Viktor in a sense that she likes to surprise readers, but at the same time makes sure that her readers are satisfied with every chapter she posts.

“Part of being a good writer in my opinion is making sure that you keep readers interested, and that can be accomplished either by surprising them with a plot twist or by giving them the fluff they want,” she said. “In my personal experience, I find that my readers are able to predict the general flow of where my story is going, but it’s in the details or the execution that I catch them off-guard.”

“Writing is all about love, your love for the characters and love for the fandom,” she shared.

According to her, writers should never feel coerced to write something because readers beg them to update, no matter how hard it is. If a writer’s heart is not into it, it will show and no one would like to see that. She believes that writers should write because they love writing.

Writers should also never be afraid in putting themselves out there. “Whether it’s a drabble, one-shot, or multi-chapter fic, every contribution counts in a fandom. Writing is a talent and a skill that takes time, and you will never get better if you don’t give it a shot. Somewhere out there, there will be someone who will look forward to reading your work,” she said.
