Twenty Questions for Fic Writers 💫

thank you @mostlymaudlin for the tag <3 tagging @facewithoutheart @martsonmars @cutestkilla and @you-remind-me-of-the-babe

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

68! Which is…wild. Six of them are songs though.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

126,027 - dang!

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Primarily the simon snow series and all for the game. I recently got into young royals so a few there as well, plus one each for a couple other shows I like.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Like rory my top 5 are all andreil! aftg has a large and voracious readership. Better than Sex (4k, T) / Eating Well (1k, T) / Needing/Getting (3k, T) / Friendly Neighborhood Vamp (.5k, T) / Soak up the Sun (.5k, T)

Rest under the cut!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Usually yes! Sometimes I go through spells of not replying…but I’m grateful for every single kudos and comment, it’s amazing and wonderful <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

This is tough bc i love me a happy ending and i don’t really do angst anyway lmao. My joke answer is my crack andreil fic Monday, but maybe the real answer is my snowbaz fic+song Breakable bc I left off before things get fully resolved (but it is clearly hopeful imo).

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

The happiEST?? Hmmm. I think my overall Happiest fic might be like, Mon Chou? And Better than Sex. both of those are just like, gooey with happiness. And both have happy endings so I’ll say one of them. Actually from a different approach I’ll say my time loop fic has the happiest ending bc it’s probably the angstiest thing I’ve written haha so the ending is such a relief. 

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have not!! Super grateful for everyone who leaves lovely warm positive comments on my work <3333 

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not on my own LOL. i do have some M/E fics in my works though thanks to some collabs (see Q13 lol) <3

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I have not! I think about it sometimes….it’s just usually hard for me to imagine a world where all my blorbos live, even though I almost only write AUs…a mystery

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, which is wild!!! I think several of my Vandrew fics and BtS have been translated into russian. Thank you translators, you’re incredible. 

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes!! This was one of my most fun and treasured early fandom experiences with @facewithoutheart and @martsonmars <3 published results include The Chain (i was really just losing my mind in the doc while christina wrote tbh) and The Muse’s Waking which is probably the weirdest thing I’ve ever (partially) written hahah

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

Making me chooooooose ugh. Idk man i reread a snowbaz fic today and almost cried and they were my first fandom love so today i’m going to say them <3 

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I recently picked up a fic i abandoned 2 years ago so now i’m like well never say never! But one that’s in my “this is in the past now” pile that i was just thinking about is my andreil Alex Rider (TV) AU. i actually had an idea for how to get around the bit i was stuck on while rewatching Alex Rider the other day sooo…. But likely still abandoned

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think, somewhat incongruously, 1) writing concisely and 2) setting a mood. I think both these things are true in say Weightless (andreil, 1k, T).

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

PLOT. plot is so hard. That’s too broad of an answer so i’ll say, keeping multiple storylines/arcs progressing at once. I don’t do it much. It’s a fun challenge though. I usually write little one-shot, single-conflict fics bc that comes easier for me. 

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Love it. Not fluent in any other language enough to really do it justice but i’d like to.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I think i wrote some hp and some jane austen fic before i ever got into Fandom Proper lol. First published fandom was for the Simon Snow Series <3

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

I think the one i’ve gone back to the most is Weightless. I set it in one of my favorite IRL places and it has tender blood drinking so. How could I beat that, really?

[gentlebeardsbarngrill]

Avant le décollage, nous recevons une serviette chaude pour se rafraîchir le visage et un verre de bienvenue. Les hôtesses sont hyper chou !

20h15, nous décollons avec 1 heure et 10 minutes de retard. Pas de soucis pour nous puisque nous avons une longue escale à notre arrivée. Dès notre altitude de croisière atteinte, nos repas sont préparés et servis. Nous avons mangé de l’agneau très tendre accompagné d’une purée de petit pois, et comme dessert une panna cotta fruit de la passion 😊 Petite toilette rapide puis un film pour s’endormir🎥. Nous avons relativement bien dormi, nos sièges de Premium Economy étaient confortables et Dan a de la place pour étendre ses jambes ;) au réveil, on nous sert un traditionnel English Breakfast et très vite, il faut préparer la cabine pour l’atterrissage 🛬.

Nous atterrissons sans encombres à 8h20 à l’aéroport international OR Tambo à Johannesburg. Nous rejoignons l’immigration, où nous attendons 40 minutes avant de recevoir notre stempel. Étant donné qu’il n‘y a pas assez de page sur un passeport, la madame n‘a pas trouvé mieux que de mettre son tampon sur la même page que celui du Chili…🤦🏽 Bref…nous allons ré-enregistrer nos bagages pour les vols internes puis partons à la recherche d’une carte sim sud-africaine. Il ne nous faudra pas plus de 5 minutes pour avoir notre nouveau numéro de téléphone et notre forfait Internet !

Plus que 5h avant notre prochain vol. Nous nous installons boire un jus de fruit 🥤puis allons faire un tour à la terrasse panoramique. Bon finalement on y est pas resté très longtemps, c’était plutôt une grande baie vitrée derrière laquelle il faisait très chaud 🥵 nous nous sommes gentiment dirigé vers la sécurité puis nous avons mangé 2 bons steaks pour la modique somme d‘environ 7.50 CHF.

Les deux dernières heures d‘attente sont les plus longues. Finalement, à 15:10, nous embarquons les petits bus qui nous conduiront jusqu’à l‘avion. Et quel avion…nous avons pris le plus grand avion passagers au monde (presque 500 passagers) pour arriver à Johannesburg et maintenant nous embarquons à bord d‘un petit avion d’à peine 50 places ! Le vol d’une quarantaine de minutes nous emmène dans un tout petit aéroport plein de charme. Il y a une une très belle statue d‘une gazelle, juste devant l’aéroport, que nous observons en rejoignant notre voiture de location. Le temps de déposer nos bagages et de faire le tour de la voiture que, très surpris, la statue n’est plus là. Il ne s’agissait pas d’une statue mais d‘un groupe de 4 gazelles qui se promenaient sur le parking 🦌

La conduite à gauche et les voitures faites „à l‘envers“, ça surprend ! Il faut un moment pour s‘y habituer. C’est Dan qui prendra le volant jusqu’à l’hôtel. 1h30 de route dont presque la moitié de nuit 💫 (et oui c’est l’hiver ici le soleil de couche tôt :/). Nous arrivons à l’hôtel vers 18h30 et découvrons une chambre magnifique ! Et une douche INCROYABLE !!! J‘en profiterai plus tard autrement on ne va jamais aller souper 😂 On ne va pas faire tard ce soir car demain c’est l’entrée dans le parc national et on veut être en forme ! 😘

😁💘💫

Thank you for sending the questions – and sorry that I'm getting to them super late!

8. Favorite word in your target language

An ever-changing list, but these are some of my current favorites

English: abysmal

Spanish: yaguareté (jaguar)

French: flâner (to loiter)

German: das Gedächtnis (memory)

Portuguese: cara (Br. Pt., guy)

Greek: ψυχή (/psi'çi/, soul)

15. First book you read in your target language

English: Probably The Hungry Caterpillar or something like that 😂

Spanish: I think it was Carlos Ruíz Zafón's La sombra del viento.

French: Maaaaybe L'élégance du hérisson by Muriel Barbery.

German: Momo, by Michael Ende.

Portuguese: I think I've only ever read anthologies so far.

Greek: Still haven't read a whole book! I'm currently eyeing a couple of poetry collections.

26. Favourite pet name in your target language

My knowledge of pet names is virtually non-existent (I don't use them that much in my native language either, and even then I have a tendency to make them up 😂). The French "chou" will never not be funny, tho
