Where are your old Q&As from Neospring?
Me (Jul 09, 2025): This is an example question. Where are your old Q&As from Neospring?
Answer: The first Q&A site I used, Neospring, is closing down. This is an archive of the questions I received and my replies in descending order of when I answered them. At some point I'll come back and clean up the links.
This is also an example answer post for my new Askbox page, hence the title.
anonymous (6/22/25): i just wanted to thank you for writing some of the best mpreg in the sp fandom!! you're so good at using mpreg to DRIVE the story, rather than letting it be the sole substance of the plot. and cartpreg is such a criminally underrated trope and you really do it justice 🫶 on that note, any mpreg fic recs? (bonus points if cartman 👀) or future plans to write it again?
Answer: Omg tysm! I love mpreg but I hate how people write it 99% of the time. It was very cliche and homophobic back in the day. Nowadays the issue is more transphobia and fetishizing trans men tbh. As a trans man myself, I enjoy writing it as a sort of reclamation. It's important to me that my mpreg character work maintains their manhood/masculinity etc. I'll probably write an essay about it sometime tbh.
I actually have 3 mpreg WIPs rn lol. All 3 are Kenman. 2 are Cartpreg and 1 is Kenpreg 🥰
I'll post more about my WIPs on my website I think and keep a little tracker on my progress for each of them
Rn my focus is on finishing Turning Gold and working on my poly M4 project which is gonna be huge. After TG I wanna post mpreg stuff tho
anonymous (6/1/25): Hii omg I'm so glad ur back, I read your fics for the first time in 2019 and you made me FALL IN LOVE with Kenman. I was just wondering - what are your opinions were on other Cartman ships (like Kyman), and would you ever write them?
Answer: Thank you!! :) I'm so glad to hear that you like Kenman! I truly think it deserves more attention than it gets, and I'm not just saying that because I've written like 15% of the tagged fics lol.
I mentioned this in another answer but I am actually working on a poly main four fic. So that features pretty much every permutation of the main four ships. The initial story will mostly be centered on Stenny and Kyman (with "unrequited" Kenman/Style) as they all try to navigate their feelings, jealousy, misunderstandings etc.
I am also working on a Stanman fic entitled "The Summer I Fell in Love with My Stepbrother". The basic concept is: Liane and Randy get married, she moves in with Cartman, and things get very gay. I only work on it here and there, so it won't go live for awhile. Probably not until I finish the poly fic at least.
I haven't written many other Cartman ships. Poly stuff is fun because it's cool working with all the different combos. And of course Kenny is still around.
The Stanman thing was just a random idea that became an entire fic. In writing it though I've found the pairing to be a lot of fun. It isn't really as easy to write as Kenman or Kyman for example, but I think that's what makes it so exciting for me. I've always enjoyed writing rare pairs.
I'm neutral on Kyman... I don't dislike it, but I don't love it. Same goes for Buttman--I've written it once, but it was, again, Kenny-adjacent poly stuff (https://archiveofourown.org/works/24034843/chapters/57829861). But on its own I'm just not drawn to the dynamic.
At this point I've got such a clear vision of Kenman and how they play off each other that every other Cartman ship is lacking in comparison, and therefore less engaging to write.
anonymous (6/8/25): Fic recs? hehe
Answer: As we all know there aren't many Kenman fics. Part of the reason I started writing them 5+ years ago is because there was hardly any content, so I just took it upon myself to make some haha.
I haven't been active in the fandom lately so most of these recs will be from 5+ years ago.
The first Kenman fic that really pulled me into the pairing was Fuck The Police by The_Divine_Fool. https://archiveofourown.org/works/10576014/chapters/23370342 I kept in contact with them for a little bit in 2020, they were super cool and an amazing writer. Hope they're doing well now. They have a few other Kenman fics that are all amazing, in particular Wisdom Teeth: https://archiveofourown.org/works/8339332
There was a writer by the name of ajayjay who did some awesome Kenman stuff around the same time, in particular this series: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1933627 You can find their other fics scattered around the tag still probably; unfortunately they orphaned their account so none of their work is under one page anymore.
Born to die (https://archiveofourown.org/works/19862962/chapters/47039539) is a cool fic. I read extreme horror lit so it's right up my alley, but def not for the fainthearted. Lots of gore etc. The concept is super fun though.
For more recent stuff, I am a really big fan of ratpark's debut Kenman fic Reaper (https://archiveofourown.org/works/63944770). Hope to see more of their writing in the future!
And ofc I have to give a shoutout to my partner's fic Sex Education: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23990179
Here's my Kenman AO3 bookmarks: https://archiveofourown.org/bookmarks?commit=Sort+and+Filter&bookmark_search%5Bsort_column%5D=created_at&bookmark_search%5Bother_tag_names%5D=Eric+Cartman%2FKenny+McCormick&bookmark_search%5Bother_bookmark_tag_names%5D=&bookmark_search%5Bexcluded_tag_names%5D=&bookmark_search%5Bexcluded_bookmark_tag_names%5D=&bookmark_search%5Bbookmarkable_query%5D=&bookmark_search%5Bbookmark_query%5D=&bookmark_search%5Blanguage_id%5D=&bookmark_search%5Brec%5D=0&bookmark_search%5Bwith_notes%5D=0&user_id=humblefolk
For more general stuff, there's SP writer whose works are always fun: https://archiveofourown.org/users/metrophobic/pseuds/metrophobic
And I'm pretty sure this fic is infamous but just in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, this is a great main four poly one shot with a perfect mix of fluff and smut: https://archiveofourown.org/works/343738
Their other fic, How To Commit a Murder, was one of the first SP fics I ever read: https://archiveofourown.org/works/343763
For another history lesson I guess I'll throw in hollycomb too. Looking back, a lot of their stuff is kinda...not great but their fics and headcanons ruled the fandom for nearly a decade! https://archiveofourown.org/users/hollycomb/pseuds/hollycomb/works?fandom_id=35537
I think that's all for now haha.
anonymous (6/2/25): Do you have any plans on finishing your old fanfics, such as Coyote Teeth?
Answer: I have a lot of fics I want to revisit.
This will roll into the other question I got, but I am actually currently reworking my ancient poly main four fic (https://archiveofourown.org/works/22232029/chapters/53084491).
I had the next chapter sitting in my drafts for ages. I went back and forth on it for a year or two before I realized I should just pitch it and start from scratch.
I've been developing the plot and writing for about a year and a half now. The original story was only meant to be like five chapters; this reboot is gonna go way beyond that, and has turned into its own 'verse that will feature ancillary content after the main story concludes. I haven't tallied up all the stuff I've written so far but I'd guess I'm around 20k words or so.
Coyote Teeth is near and dear to my heart, so I do want to rework it at some point, but I think it will be similar in that I'm just gonna start from scratch. I brainstormed a lot of it on the fly and fleshed things out as I went along. I think it'll be a lot better starting over with an actual plan. But it'll most likely end up similarly to the poly fic in that it will eventually outgrow its original iteration.

anonymous: (6/3/25): hehe does this mean any hope for big poppa? 👀
Reply: Oof, that story is in even worse shape than Coyote Teeth IMO. I do want to rework it but I'm not sure how yet. I've still got notes and an outline somewhere.
