i haven't seen you writing with arrow characters, is there a reason for that?

ASKED Anonymous

i’ve debated on and off about replying to this because:
1. it feels passive aggressive…
2. i have, to some degree, answered this in a few ways with headcanons, psas and the like… so this comes off like you haven’t really read much of my blog?
but, i will answer this simply: yes and no… yes, there is a reason for it and that is that i am not sure how to approach that fact that i am not writing (dinah) laurel lance and in that i don’t want to create a strangeness for the possible threads. yes, because i just haven’t written with any arrowverse people yet, it’s simple as that — it’s not necessarily a choice not to or some avoidance in doing so.
… and then no for pretty much all the reasoning above. i have no issue with writing with arrowverse characters so long as they understand i am not writing laurel and that we’ve discussed possible plot, etc…

ON ACTIVITY:
as i do have other blogs, all of which are in varying states of limited or minimal activity due to life and work? this blog shall follow that as well — not to mention it will begin as a voice test.

ON SHIPPING:
i don’t have a lot of ships that i am bound by in my head for dinah, just know that i view her as bisexual with a heavy leaning being borderline demisexual. i also do not see her holding a preference on gender. i am open to mutually exclusive shipping, but please do not pursue it with me if you are not okay with multiship --- my blog is not singleship.

ON STATUS IN CANON:
the biggest aspect i'd like for people to remember? i am writing dinah drake, not dinah laurel lance --- in that i am not including any canon from withing the arrow universe. my portrayal is mainly that of her prime earth (or 'new 52') universe with heavy influence and inspiration drawn from her current 2015 solo run from brenden fletcher.

ON GORE / SMUT:
as with all of my blogs, i’m more willing to write the prior than the latter as long as it makes sense to the interaction of our muses and or character development. the latter is something i am only really comfortable writing as implied or fade-to-black.

ON PLOTTING:
i am always down for this and love to plot out verses (especially au's or ship specific ones) and or new ideas! so, always feel free to hit me up by whatever means we have shared about ideas you might have!

questions about anything above? please feel free to poke at my ask about it!
