author interview

Actually, I didn't mean to crawl out of my hiatus, given I have nothing left to say. But I so rarely get the opportunity to talk about my craft that I couldn't resist. I thank you for the tag @del-stars (genuinely! this sounds a tad sarcastic, but I do not mean it one bit sarcastically <3)

total works: 7 (+ the additional ones still hidden on my hard drive)

total word count: 153,247 ( + aforementioned works I do not know the total word count of)

your top 5 stories by kudos/likes?

Tear You Apart - I mean... vampires? a priest succumbing to seduction? which ends in nothing but steaming hate sex? inside a church no less? It may be my most controversial work (yet), but I am very proud of it. Not only did I receive so many lovely comments (and fanart??? that in itself is insane) because of this little one shot, I also met one of my best friends. So, yeah, damn grateful for this work. Even got a tattoo to honour it.

Home of The Heart - That one Wolfstar Raising Harry, "What If" Canon Divergence WIP that has not received any updates in over a year...

Closing Hours - Despite this being my third most popular fic, I get the urge to delete it every time I see it. It was written during a few hours of liquor-induced spite and - to this day - I am, indeed, unhappy with it. Especially, since my characterisation of Evan has changed a good tad since writing this.

The Power Of Love - Probably the fluffiest fic I have ever written and will ever write (I'm a preferred angst writer, I'm sorry). But the resonance has been so overwhelmingly positive, I'm still in disbelief considering I raw dogged the last chapter in the span of 12h without break.

Game On - Streamer AU rosekiller where Barty gets sucked off mid-stream. There is nothing left to add.

do you respond to comments? Yes. I try to respond to every comment in my typical shitty sense of humour or - at the very least - a timid "thank you". Sometimes, it might take me up to a week to respond, but every comment, however short, brightens the day of every fanfic writer, and I think it's a nice way of showing my gratitude.

what's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? Forget Me Not. It's tagged with MCD. Cannot get much angstier than that. All this build up, all these promises of a better future, only to rip it all away. Well, never said I play nice...

what's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? The Power Of Love. As mentioned before, it is my fluffiest fic. The ending is left fairly open, but I can assure you, once Remus meets up with them in London, this little family of two will become a family of three pretty quickly.

do you write crossovers? Unless OC inserts count as crossovers, no I do not.

have you ever received hate on a fic? I live a very niche-like existence, especially as a writer. I'm happy if I even get a comment at all. And, so far, all of them have been nothing but nice.

do you write smut? *side-eyeing my works of which 95% contain explicit smut* yeah... I do...

have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge, no.

have you ever had a fic translated? It had been offered to me once, but it led nowhere. Probably, because I took too long to reply (whoops).

have you ever co-written a fic before? No.

what's a wip that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? Home of The Heart. I promised to re-write and re-upload it, but since TYA Pt. 2 will be my last work for the marauders fandom as of now, I'm not sure if I ever will.

what are your writing strengths? Complexity of interhuman relationships as well as emotionally complex characters. A friend of mine used to say I write emotions, so whenever they need to feel something, they read my works. I think I'm also good at building an atmosphere and describing locations, but it actually takes a lot of effort for me to do (and I always find it sounds a bit chaotic afterwards), so I'm not sure how much of a strength that really is. I've been also told my writing style is very easy to read and flows well.

what are your writing weaknesses? Overexplanation and subtext. I tend to describe too much, given I always fear to not bring my point across well enough. I know readers are not dumb, and it's fun to connect dots on your own, but I still struggle with cutting out the obvious. I also get a lot in my head and overthink character's actions and dialogues to hell and back, which slows me down significantly.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? I did it in FMN. I think it adds a lot to a character's depth, especially if they're bilingual or from another country. However, I'd never use google translate. For FMN I asked a friend of mine, who is French, if they can translate the passages for me, and I think that is the way to go - to ask people native in that language or, at least, do research on the language. One of the reasons I hc Peter's grandfather as German is so I can use my own native language in one or the other fic.

what's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to? Not only want to, but I will write bitchkiller into TYA Pt. 2 - that is a promise (or threat?). Aside from that... maybe quillkiller? I don't know. I am much more interested in my own OCs and original series right now.

what's your favourite fic you've written? Forget Me Not!!! I poured so much of my time, endurance, sweat, tears, love and soul into this piece. Ten entire months I have spent seeing the world through Remus' eyes - his fears, his pain, his reservedness, his conflictions, how strongly he loves, how gentle he is, etc. - he has now become an inseperable part of me. It was such a ride to explore the complexity of his being as well as the world surrounding him with all its prejudice and melancholia. I'm actually saddened it got as little engagement as it did, but I've been upset over this long enough. Sometimes, an artist best or favourite work isn't the most popular one, and that is just as well.

Jayce and Viktor, knight/prince AU

so many ways a character can be dog-coded. stray following someone home and begging for scraps. old and needs to be put out of its misery. attack dog. guard dog. lap dog. puppy that pees on the carpet from excitement. shelter dog just happy to finally have feet to curl up on. unsocialized that bites anyone trying to show kindness. silly goofy puddle monster. obedient until the leash comes off

[major-toast]

many will tell you that the dog motif is passé and cliché and overdone . don't listen to them. keep chaining that fictional man to a fence

Last post of the year (had to be Sevika)

[major-toast]

If you'd ask me about my favorite Arcane characters I would probably say Heimerdinger as he is, in my opinion, the funniest character and Season 2 Jayce since we all love a ragged, depressed and desperate man.

However, if you'd ask me on a deeper level, I would say Jayce because of his loyalty to Viktor. They shared the dream to give Hextech to everyone and ease their lives but as soon as Jayce realized the severity of Viktors illness, his focus shifted. His focus becam saving Viktor and after the attack on the council, he threw his principles and morals out the window and connected the Hexcore with organic matter (Viktor) to save him because he was about to die.

Then, he shot Viktor because he gave future!Viktor the promise that he'd stop him. And when all his attempts at preventing the future failed, he refused to leave Viktor and ended it together with him.

I can't turn into words how much they already mean to me.
