20 Questions for Fic Writers

tagged by @devirnis ❤️

How many works do you have on ao3?

if we include both of my ao3 psuedonyms (which we are, otherwise this would be a very boring ask meme) i have 14 works!

What's your total ao3 word count?

561,661 😳

What fandoms do you write for?

i’ve most recently written for 9-1-1, but i’ve also written for Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Top five fics by kudos:

reality strikes, so bring back the night (ATLA)

That Midnight Sky (ATLA)

swords of fate, pride of heart (ATLA)

i could (never) give you peace (ATLA)

what a heart can do (9-1-1)

Do you respond to comments?

i try my best, yes!

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

no angsty endings, god bless 🫶

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

oh gosh, i don’t know. they’re all happy! i suppose That Midnight Sky because i really put sokka and zuko through it in that one, lmao.

Do you get hate on fics?

uh, yeah, lmao. just once! one of the very first comments on hurt locker was someone who was very unhappy with the decisions eddie made throughout that fic. i think maybe they just didn't understand the concept of POV storytelling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you write smut?

i let much more talented writers than me fill that gap in the literature!

Craziest crossover:

not really a crossover in terms of ao3 categorization, but maybe the Mr. & Mrs. Smith AU i wrote for buddie?

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

i don’t think so, but i do know that i could (never) give you peace is on goodreads somewhere. wish it wasn’t!

Have you ever had a fic translated?

yes! someone recently translated i could (never) give you peace into russian! super, super cool.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

YES, i co-wrote the amazing fruity beverages with megan aka @engagedzukka aka @crosspin. brainstorming that entire universe and collaborating with such an incredible writer was so fun, and it was a huge highlight of 2021. (hi megan ily 🥰❤️ can you believe we wrote that over three years ago???)

All time favourite ship?

my evergreen relationships that i could go find a fic for at literally any time are stony, arthur/eames, and spirk. buddie though…there’s something really special with them 🥹❤️

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i started a really angsty fic last summer when i was in a bad mood (lol) where eddie and buck kind of knew about the potential of what they could be together. after the lightning strike, eddie was ready to take that next step, but then buck got together with natalia. i kind of just wanted eddie and buck to yell at each other a little bit, y'know? exploring their relationship breakdown was really cathartic for me at the time. with the direction the show is taking now, i don’t know if it’s something that i’ll finish. it seems like the fandom has swiftly moved on from that era of the show, and fair enough. we’re all on the bucktommy train now, right? choo choo! 🚂

What are your writing strengths?

i love writing dialogue!!!! i love writing dialogue so much!!!! it's so snappy and boom boom boom, y'know? all of a sudden i have 1k written and life is amazing.

What are your writing weaknesses?

i really hate inner monologue. i’ll write it, because it’s integral to the story, but I’m never like, oh my god, i’m so thrilled to be writing this inner monologue stuff right now, lol. let’s get back to the meat and potatoes of the story, people! dialogue!

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

i do not know another language, so i tend to steer clear of it, because i know how google translate fails us all.

First fandom you wrote in?

ha. ha ha. the mortal instruments by cassandra clare. i still get occasional favourites on my clace and malec stories from fanfiction dot net. i didn't even FINISH the clace one! anyways.

Favourite fic you've written?

this is hard! i can't pick just one! TMS holds a really special place in my heart because it was the first idea for a story where i was like, wait, i think i could actually write this and finish it. and then i did! and the zukka fandom was so fucking sweet and kind about it.

i’m also really proud of what a heart can do because i was nervous about writing an original child character and i worried i wouldn’t be able to do the story justice. but the reception has been incredible! i genuinely cannot believe i wrote that fic in between doing research and writing my thesis. how did i do that?!?

one fic that i really, really love is swords of fate, pride of heart. i wrote that fic in like, a week. it was insane. the fic is so ridiculous, and it was so fucking fun to write. whenever i get a comment on it, i usually go back and reread a portion of it and i'm always a little in awe of my past self. like, yeah, i wrote that.

this was so fun to do!! tagging @captain-hen @wildlife4life @shitouttabuck @colonoscopys @eddiebabygirldiaz @traumabuddies @try-set-me-on-fire @hattalove and @kananjarus if you feel like it! my activity feed is super messed up rn thanks to that ‘first base is/second base is’ post lmao so i’m really sorry if i missed anyone or if you’ve been tagged already 😭❤️

#30

Lol I'm obsessed with OC art rn. Just something about putting the little made up lives of my characters into a reality is just so therapeutic and fun.

Should I actually reveal the names I have for these goobers?

Also this IS a different OC from the last one as you can tell for the placement of the flower and the scars. Just looks similar because of the hair since the hair on this one is supposed to be messy since she's asleep

Number 30 on my art train CHOO CHOO 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃

[sidewayspeace444]

You don't have to post this, but why do y'all keep saying big back? That's a very specific AAVE insult and it doesn't really apply to her. I'm all for hating on her cuz she's a true piece of shit human... I mean a literal total waste of space. But she isn't big back? And it's confusing my black brain when it's said lol. Anyways. Continue the hate train, just thought I'd mention it in case y'all don't know 🚂 Choo Choo!

She does have a big back. She hutches over like Quasimoto because her fake breast implants are too heavy for her frail body.

For a long time I thought I hated Steampunk, but when I have moulded a fair amount of my life around Steam Locomotives and get really excited to see them in the wild, I think what I dislike about the genre (which is of course, a broad sweeping Range of ideas rather than a monolith) is that the Victorian Era was really bad in several ways, and the lone Steampunk book I read was more about the hack author's sexual fantasies. I dare not name the book in case it makes people look at it lmao -- but anyway, your approach to the ideas are coaxing me back into liking it for more than just the Choo Choos (but still, they're the heart of it for me 🚂🥰)

ooooOOOOO this is a DELIGHT to receive

steampunk is definitely at times very shallow in depiction so i can understand having a distaste for it. i feel like the "mainstream" (sorry this is the only term i can think of lmfao) version of it really misses what it's about

like even me who is ALSO into the victorian aesthetic and settings focused on the victorian era (though its far more interesting when the stories highlight the problems of the victorian life), i can get disappointed when thats all u see

BUT YES STEAM LOCOMOTIVES ARE AN ESSENTIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! all steampunk is is another genre of retrofuturism so really anything that could fall under the technological advancement in that period would fit. i actually think non-western media tackles it really well (tezuka's metropolis is a favorite, but there's also a Heavy Amount of ghibli films as well as various anime like full metal alchemist. which i have Not seen but i know its good so)

and i mean. even stuff like Super Classic Jules Verne has some incredible stuff. i am a HUGE fan of 20,000 leagues under the sea. not only for the cool steampunk but also the themes around it. it is a very anti-imperialist story and completely sympathetic towards captain nemo who used his epic steampunk submarine to take down warships lol

whatever cursed book you read is making me laugh but also just reminding me how we MUST take back steampunk from the cishets. i'll do it myself if i have to. i look like this btw

[lovesick-level-up]

all aboard! could we maybe please get some shigaraki tomura replycons? or if you'd be down for it a bit more better, a themed psd that highlights white nd reds? (we're not sure if you guys are doing psds they're not in the rentry <<' but we saw your reblog to the open ask thing and assumed maybe?)

no worries if the inspiration isnt hitting right for either! thank you for hearing our request anyway :]

-🚂 choo choo

hey, nice to see you. we ended up going for the reply icons, because, they are fun. we hope you like them. also, i swear psds were on our sourcelist at some point, we must have removed it at some point. oh well, we added them back lol.

Ya’ll let’s hop on the SPICEY train for a change to the positive 🔥 choooo choo 🔥 🚂 let’s brainstorm the sexy scenes we’d love to see Seb do…. Personally I would love seeing him fuck a gal from behind or up against a wall while pinning her arms back. Something so ticking sexy watching the man thrust. THE BRONZE DOESNT COUNT THAT WAS COMEDY 😂/// lol 😂😂 and yes I agree BUT… I’d love to see a slow, passionate one! Like Endings beginnings but way better and with a better connection and relationship between the characters. Sex scene with actual (fake obv) intimacy. Close up of his face while he looking at the women like she’s the light of his life… while also devouring her?!? I’d be swooning and ‘swimming’! 😏😍

[dittolicous]

what kind of train bag do u want, cos a classic lil choo choo 🚂 might be harder to make, but a lil boxy subway guy 🚞 could probably be made with a premade rectangle bag and some creative applique

man I would take anything at this point lol. but I was like flabbergasted that they don't make train shaped bags, either design! I was looking originally for the 🚂 but alas. you would think the old 🚂 look wouldn't be too hard it you go cartoony blocks, yknow? but nope, nothin! and so I tried looking for 🚄🚅🚈🚞 or any like subway type bags, still nothing. it probably doesn't help that when locking up 'train bag' or 'subway purse' 'rail bag' just brings up bags meant to be used ON trains v_v

i ones shaped like a bus, which, close, but no go.

Since when were there so many train emojis?
