20 Questions for Fic Writers! ✨
Tagged by @nothing-but-paisley - Thank you so much! 💖
1. How many works do you have on A03? 68! One more and I can never post again 😂 (66 of those are VC.)
2. What’s your total A03 word count? 315,352
3. What fandoms do you write for? The Vampire Chronicles. I have a couple of Merlin fics on my profile though, one I'm really proud of and one I lost steam on and never got far.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos? Best Kept Secrets (Merlin), Night Out (my first Lestat/Daniel fic on Ao3), The Mundanity of Mortality, The Vampire Bar, and Series of Birthdays. Basically my oldest fics 😂
5. Do you respond to comments? Always!! Sometimes it takes me a while but I love replying to people who took the time to leave a comment. Every comment is a gift and so very appreciated! 💖
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Probably Turn Me to Dust, which is probably the angiest Devil's Minion fic I've ever written. I struggle with leaving things too angsty at the end though. 🤧 Or maybe In the Midst of Madness.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Most of my fics have a happy ending so that's really hard to pick. I hate leaving them sad okay! It makes me sad.
8. Do you get hate on fics? No, not on AO3 at least and not to my knowledge.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do write smut! I enjoy writing how eroticism and intimacy can affect a relationship or how it's used to maybe put off other issues or even be a method of communication between two characters.
Armand and Daniel in particular really fascinate me with their intimate habits because they're so experimental in all ways, and at first it's a mortal and vampire, which is fun to play with. And once Daniel's a vampire, it's fun to explore how that changes how they engage with physical intimacy.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I do not! Or at least, I haven't yet.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not as far as I'm aware. I sure hope not!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not to my knowledge.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have! A long time ago. It's something I'd love to do again, it can be really fun!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Devil's Minion! OTP baby.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I don't have one published currently that's unfinished (except that Merlin one and I'm probably never getting back to that). I have a few that I've started over the last year or so that may never get completed though.
16. What are your writing strengths? Dialogue! I don't always nail it but it's definitely a skill I'm proud of.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? I'd like to get better at writing evocative descriptions, it's not something I'm great at.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I could manage some basic back and forth en français but I'm never really comfortable enough to do more than that.
19. First fandom you wrote for? Vampire Chronicles, baby! I wrote my first fic in math class in high school. I was not good at math.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written? Oh gosh, I don't know how to choose. One that I'm exceptionally happy with is Five Times Daniel and Armand Almost Kissed During the Chase Years & One Time They Did.
