(not on the list but if you write in one sitting how long are you sitting? insane that u can churn out like 4k words in a singular sit!!)

🤍what’s one fic of yours you think people didn’t “get”?

ooooh this was a really hard one to answer!! i think i'm not so controversial or like edgy that there's anything for people to not get exactly, but there were a few reactions to a ted lasso fic, more years than you can bear that made me nervous becuase it was never my intention with that fic to demonize roy in any way or unfairly characterize him re: his violence towards jamie !! most of their fighting was mutual, i don't think roy exactly has to directly take more responsibility for it than jamie in a moralistic sense, but i do think the right arc for roy is one where he eventually reckons with the part of himself that does get so angry and would want to kind of rise above that instinct for his own personal growth and not becuase we ought to point fingers at him if that makes any sense

🤲what do YOU get out of writing?

in regards to publishing i get COMMENTS which are my FAVORITE things next to good grades like one comment will literally make my day it will turn a bad day good in an instant but those are secondary to the fact that mainly i just get to write the fics i want to read. i don't understand people who say they don't reread their own writing bc im not being egotistical like i don't think it's the best fic out there however it is fic that is exactly catered to my taste like of course i'm reading my own fic i'm who i wrote it for??? on a serious note though, esp with the bear and carmy's grief being so close to my own, i get a lot of catharsis and emotional validation through fic writing. i like it when people tell me that they relate to my work becuase obviously i relate to it too, and there's a real human sense to that which i really like honor and respect and cherish if that makes any sense

also LMAO yes 4k is probably my limit but it's definintly like my preferred writing style otherwise i forget what i'm saying!! but 4k will usually take me all evening like 9-12 or 1am on a late night...it's not every time esp with more sectioned fics but a lot of my one shots in that length range were definintly written in one siting because i am a deeply crazy person
