Writing Interview Tag Game!

Thanks to @aintgonnatakethis for the tag! (I've copied his idea and posted the template in a "read more" if you decide to go ahead and play, so you don't have to pick the questions out from between my answers)

About me

When did you start writing?

I’ve been telling stories since I was old enough to remember words, but probably only writing them down since about high school. Crossover ideas about my favorite characters meeting each other and having adventures have been my bread and butter since I was in the single digits though. 

Are there different genres or themes you enjoy reading other than the ones you write?

Oh yeah. There’s plenty of things I think I’m not very good at writing that I love reading, especially really grounded realism and humor. Also I do not have the patience for the really fantastic speculative xenobiology that I absolutely adore reading.

Is there an author you want to emulate, or are compared to often?

Not that I want to emulate. A teacher told me once that my writing reminded her of Danielle Steele, but as I've never read a Danielle Steele novel I'm not sure how accurate that is, or if it even applies anymore because that was 20 years ago. I feel like I tend to emulate whatever author I’ve been reading a lot lately, but I don’t read a lot anymore. I used to really love Patricia Briggs (I mean, I still love the books I've read, Dragon Bones is probably one of my top favorites ever, but I haven't been as impressed with her recent offerings) and I feel like there was a point where a lot of her werewolf psychology bleed over into the way I write Wraith.

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

So at the moment I mostly write on my phone at work during breaks. The space is both chaotic and tense, and very boring and low-key. I do final edits on my computer though: that set up involves 2 screens, which is really handy for edit comparisons between an AO3 window and my backup document, and there’s a cat bed under the desk for Bug to hang out. 

What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?

Over the past few years writing has become a way to channel my anxiety about the world, so I tend to write more when I’m anxious or when I’m stuck sitting somewhere that isn’t mentally stimulating but I have enough energy that I’m not completely zonked out. 

Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and/or places you write about?

Um in a specific sense probably no? I mean, I would say that how you grow up is extremely formative to who you are and what you write and that holds true for me. But specifically the only story influenced by the place I grew up is “Sunlight”; the setting is based on a place near where I grew up on Lake Michigan. 

Are there any reoccurring themes in your writing? If so, do they surprise you?

Love will save the day. I don’t mean sex or romance, I mean the affection, compassion, and consideration that humans are capable of having for each other and for creation in all circumstances. And I don't mean “save the day” in a eucatastrophic sense, though I like that too, but that living in love is what saves us as people and reminds us that we are communal creatures who need each other. No, that doesn't surprise me. 

Characters

Would you please tell me about your current favorite character?

Lol, well I’m currently obsessed with Tora Ziyal from DS9. I'm planning to abduct her, and Ellia from SGA, and throw a Canon Doesn't Deserve You/Won't Treat You Right party. But that’s a story I’m not actually writing yet, so probably Todd? I’m also kind of currently obsessed with femdom and power dynamics among Wraith, and just generally with Todd’s dynamic with Carter because I feel like there’s a lot that was unexplored there in canon. I have one story for them which I’m posting that's all just sex, and 3 more ideas in various stages of wip that are more adventure bases. Somehow sex is easier to write than plot. 

Which of your characters would you be friends with in real life?

lol

Look, I spend my time trying to get into these people's heads to figure out what makes them tick, putting them in Situations, and orchestrating their sex lives. Would you be friends with someone like that??? 

(For me) the entire point of this is that fictional people are not real, and do not exist in real life. 

Which characters would you dislike the most if you met them?

I have 4 different answers for this one....

See above.

2. I feel like the point of these questions is really to ask about Original Characters and... I can't answer that in this case because Spoilers.

3. I feel like the other point is that "dislike" doesn't necessarily mean "hate," but rather "we wouldn't be friends." So, back when I was a 12 year old girlchild with a television, watching Deep Space Nine, I adored Jadzia Dax. Rewatching the show recently I find her far more immature than I remember (though may be it's just because the writers had no idea what they were doing with her), and honestly the more I learn about Curzon Dax the more I think he sounds like an absolute nightmare of a person. I do not think I would be friends with Dax. Not maliciously, just complete incompatibility of personalities.

4. But the fandom answer for characters I hate is: in a general Stargate sense, I utterly loathe both Frank Simmons and Lucius Lavin and would most certainly throw garbage at them if I existed in the stargate EU and happened to meet them. In addition I loathe Naraku from Inuyasha, would plot to murder the Head Founder from DS9, and would certainly cheer for anyone in The Last Kingdom who stabbed Aethelwold repeatedly and left him to be eaten by wild dogs.

Tell me about the process of coming up with your characters?

When I have a role that needs to be filled or a scene that needs to be populated with a character, I create a background character to fill it, who then tends to take over my brain and develop all sorts of traits. The process can vary a lot from character to character, but I'll use Sara as an example. 

I start with the problem: I need an OC who will present Ronon with an unconventional take on the Wraith in order to help him shift his worldview. This needs to be someone whom he does not find physically threatening. Also they need to have had an opportunity to develop a relationship with the Wraith, likely with a single specific one. So, most likely I'm looking at a child, and an orphan, and they will need to be cut off from other humans because of Circumstances in order to have the opportunity to bond with the Wraith character. Very early on in developing Sara, I was influence a lot by the character of Rin from Inuaysha, who is an orphan girl who travels with a powerful demon whom most humans fear. I chose the name Sara because it's both a very common name and simple enough to be translated to another galaxy easily. Because I based the character on Rin she is "Japanese"/East Asian when I describe her physical appearance, I imagine her name being pronounced in the Japanese way (both a's with the same vowel sound and a soft "r"), and her people practiced a religion inspired by Shinto. Because I tend to eschew the canon proscription against the existence of queer people, I wrote her as being Asexual and Sapphic, though I had more difficulty than I wanted trying to make that aspect of her character textually obvious, since she doesn't really have the vocabulary to explain it and it's not focal to the plot.

So, this was intended to be a rather side character, but she herself became much more of a central part of the story than I was intending, rather than just the effect she would have on Ronon, which was what was supposed to be the focus of her character's contribution to the story.

Do you notice any reoccurring themes/traits in your characters?

Not really? I do feel like I have to fight harder than with the canon characters to make sure that they don't all share my values and outlook.

Since I mostly write for SGA, and most of the characters already present are cis het white men, when I create characters I usually try to make them… not that in some way. (Though I do also assume that all characters who exist in stories that I write, including canon characters, are bi unless the fic clearly states otherwise.)  

How do you picture your characters?

I don’t usually “picture” characters. I guess because the show is already visual I’m bad at remembering to create visual descriptions for the characters I create? Does that make any sense? Or maybe because the story is visual in my head there are parts of it I forget to “export” to the page. When Eos used to beta for me, she would badger me all the time, like “but what do they look like??” and I’ve been a lot better at describing things since then. Though still, I'm not really visual in that way I guess. 

My writing

What’s your reason for writing?

There are stories inside of me and they want to come out. There are stories I want to read and no one else is writing them.

Is there any specific comment or type of comment from readers that you find particularly motivating?

All comments are fantastic, but my absolute favorite is when they quote a line from the chapter because 9 times out of 10 my response is “I know!!! I loved that line too!!”

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

I do not want to be perceived lol

Honestly this is not something I’ve ever really thought about? Like, I hope they enjoy my writing, but I don’t think I care about what they think about me. 

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

Enjoying myself.

What have you been told your greatest strength as a writer is by others?

I used to say my greatest strength was characterization (and I do still believe that any character action or reaction is believable if you justify it correctly in the text) and I used to be a lot more interested in writing stories that aligned with canon or progressed believably from canon. I don’t so much care anymore, though I’ve had several comments praising my characterizations.  

How do you feel about your own writing?

I love it. I wrote it for me to read. Even the older stuff that is bad now, it’s great to see how much I’ve grown and changed as a writer, and also how some things stay the same. 

If you were the last person on earth, would you still write?

Probably not? The stories exist inside of me. Writing them down only accomplishes two things: 1) allows others to read them and 2) gives the story a static form. Without the need for 1 I don’t think I would bother to write them down, and they would stay in my head and continue to change and evolve and become other stories. 

When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, do you write purely for yourself, or is it a mix of both?

Both. I write what I want to read, but I do like to push myself to write things I wouldn’t normally try; especially last year I wrote a bunch of prompt fics which was a lot of fun (and also left me with a handful of ideas I couldn't finish but still want to try lol). I also do a lot of read-throughs and edits to try to make sure the story is as good as I can make it because I do want others to be able to enjoy it.

[keroppri]

10, 11, and 29 please :D

YAY! hi Days!!! 💖💖💖

10. What's your favorite part about the fic writing process?

the brainstorming!!! i love to write in my planning journal a lot of my ideas and sometimes if i don't quite get my vision in words , i sketch it out (mind u, they're uggo drawings 😭) but it helps a lot! sometimes for brainstorming, i'll act it out like scenes between characters and stuff, in places like the shower or the car lol so those times are really fun!🙈

11. Are there any tropes that you particularly enjoy writing?

love at first sight LMAO just cuz it's sooooo easy and it works so well for naruhina 💕💕💕 another trope would be unexpected interruptions in moments of tension lol as annoying as they can be, i can't get enough of them!!! it's my bread and butter!!!!! 😚✌️

29. Are there any characters, relationships, or general character dynamics you've never written about but would like to try?

-there's a few i think of!! first of! i'd loveeeeee to write for dragon ball! mostly fics about Gohan and Videl BCUZ they are so good together 🥺🫶❤️ and ON THAT NOTE, that would have me exploring like enemies to lovers! (more like one-sided enemies to lovers in regards to HanVi really lol) cuz i think that back and forth is really fuuuunnnn!! *v*

i'd also would like to try my hand at like non-romance stuff??? like Hinata at the grocery store trying to get the best deals! lol i dunno just SOMETHING SILLY would be really fun to write!

oh and characters exploring their sexuality too! like i've made Naruto and Hinata identify as bisexual before in A Summer's Delight but i'd like to go more into it in another fic one day!

thank you so much for the asks, Days!!! 💕💕💕

[echoeternally]

I would ask you to do all of them, but then that takes away the fun of it and seems like alot. In that case, how about 2, 4, and 18?

2. What is your current OTP?

Geez, I don’t even know where to begin; I like way too many couples, and then I always end up listing the same things. Ah well.

Pride and joy is still Bowser and Mario, that’s like one constant that I can’t let go. That’s good though, since I’m writing their story together.

It’s been about a year, but I’m still really interested in my take on Bigwig and Fiver for Watership Down. They have barely any content, but I feel like it’d be a really cute couple.

For Pokemon, I’m still on my usual kick of Machamp/Alakazam and Kadabra/Machoke, which is funny, given what happened to them in my stories. Besides them, I still like the usual, Nidoking/Rhydon, Samurott/Typhlosion, Greninja/Chesnaught, and the list of familiar pairs goes on.

There are a handful from Generation 7 that I like, but I’m going to keep those quiet for the moment, in case I want to use them in fanfics in the future. A less common couple that I want to briefly mention is Nidoqueen/Kangaskhan, which I actually love a lot, but stupidly didn’t come up with back when I originally started my fanfics. Ugh, it’s so cute, and I’m kicking myself for never using it.

A bunch of Fire Emblem ships that I’m currently thriving on, namely from Fire Emblem: Three Houses, but there are too many from that. I’ll just give a quick shout-out to Dorothea/Edelgard, which is really cute and I feel underrated, but at least it exists and people enjoy them together.

Since I’ve been watching some Netflix cartoons lately, I’ve also enjoyed couples in those. She-Ra keeps teasing and then destroying pairings, but one that seems to bubble up every so often is Spinnerella and Netossa, who are very minor characters, but their interactions together are precious.

There’s also a possible couple happening on the Dragon Prince, but I’m nervous because they rushed it, so I’m not sure if I’ll like it; I was hoping they would build it more organically, which I will find out with the coming season if they will or will not.

I’m sure there’s more stuff that I’m excited for, but that’s the current stuff that’s on my mind.

4. What is/are your favorite trope(s)?

Ooohh...I have a lot that I like, but none specifically required for all ships. Some, I’m not even sure if they count as tropes.

I do like “meet cute” a lot, where they meet and are adorable stammering messes. Or one of them goes something stupid like, “wow, who’s that?” Like, I’m such a sucker for that one. 

Speaking of, mutual pining, because I’m a supreme sucker on that too.

Shameless flirt with total novice and them slowly finding a middle point that they both like with one another.

Jock/Nerd! Jock/Nerd! Jock/Nerd! That’s like my bread and butter.

Battle couples in general; I like when pairs can kick butt fighting as a team, and then the stronger their bond, the stronger their battling gets.

I don’t know how to describe it, but that hurt/comfort dynamic where the one person is all like, “everything is kind of terrible, and I’m trying my best to keep it all going and stay strong, but sometimes I want to fall apart,” and then that person with them that’s all like, “you’re not alone, and I’m here for you every step of the way, because you’re important to me,” and the name is escaping me for that specific kind of pair, so wow, that sounds messy.

Shy/Nervous Mess with Oblivious Fool, because who doesn’t love that?

Friends to Lovers and Enemies to Lovers, so long as they’re done right, lol.

Hard-working super orderly type and the one that knows how to help them break free from that rigid structure. Not necessarily a party-animal type, just someone that helps the other experience a life outside of the monotony they think they need to abide by.

Human/Non-Human or two different races/species that come together

Height/Size Differences 

And then just copious amounts of stupidly precious FLUFF. I love cute little interactions and ways that couples just display how much they love each other and are super precious in their own little individual ways.

18. What is your favorite unpopular ship?

...The vast majority of things that I ship, lol. Hence me championing them as “rare pairs,” because it’s rare to see them loved.

[rosered282]

*taps microphone* hewwo? this thing on?

I got tagged by the lovely @livlepretre (congrats on the wedding btw!) for this answer 22 questions and tag 22 people you want to get to know better so here we go!

Nickname(s): Rosie- I go by this on here, my mom also calls me Rosie, and also Rosie-cosy-oli-olio but Rosie is fine lol

Zodiac sign: Taurus (I am as stubborn and lazy as you can get, truly the perfect example of this star sign)

Height: 5'9-5′10 (FUN FACT: I am taller than both my brother and my mother, I was taller than them when I was like 15-16 and they both HATE it, especially my brother because he’s the older sibling)

Last movie I saw: At home: I just watched the Fyre documentary on Netflix and I feel so bad for the people on Great Exhuma that Billy what's his face ripped off, although I’m glad to hear that the woman who catered the event out of her own pocket was able to make back the money she lost thanks to online donations. At the theater: The Kid Who Would Be King, tbh it’s a good movie but I was too old for it, entertaining but best for kids

Last thing I googled: The masked singer results lol, I knew it was Tori Spelling!

Favorite musician: It changes with the seasons but rn it’s Hozier, I love Movement sooooooo much like it’s become my favorite of his songs, and I’m so pumped for his album in March

Song stuck in my head: Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie, I watched Bohemian Rhapsody the other day and now I have a lot of queen stuck in my head but this is the one that’s stuck today

Other blogs: I want to do more blogs but I don’t like the side blog feature and I’d have to keep SO many emails and passwords together so instead you get literally everything condensed on this blog :)

Following now: I’m still following a lot of people that I was following when I made this blog, which was in 2014 I think? And back then I was into Dragon Age and they were Dragon Age centric blogs but they shifted through the times and so have I but they mostly post memes and stuff (I love memes) so its not that big of a deal. But there’s aesthetic blogs that I follow, so many Star Wars blogs, some Dragon Age blogs and Harry Potter blogs, game of thrones (although more ASoIaF and there is a difference) literally 1 LotR blog and some comic artists, I think the numbers at 150 blogs that I’m following?

Followers: Hello all my 320-ish followers! How many of you are inactive? How many of you are pornbots? How many of you literally don’t know who I am and are wondering how I got onto your dashboard (I hacked you obviously)? 

Amount of sleep I get: 8-9 hours usually, I’ve gone without no sleep before and I’ve slept for 12 hours but I do enjoy my 8 hours, nine makes me feel groggy

Lucky numbers: idk man, I’ve never really focused on it, is it like numbers you like?? Are you assigned them?? How do you keep track of good numbers do you like write them down??

What I’m wearing: Currently wearing jeans and my R2D2 t-shirt, I was wearing my converse but I took them off when I got back from class

Dream job: A writer, I love writing but I’m paranoid I’m not good enough to make it as a professional one. And maybe a traveling photographer, there’s so many things that I’d want to capture forever

Dream trip: hmmmmmm..... *strokes fake beard pensively*, I’d honestly just love to go around the world, there’s so many different places that I’m fascinated by and think are absolutely AMAZING but I’ll narrow the field a bit. In the country: I’d wanna visit the Salt Flats in Bonneville, they’re so pretty!!! Maybe swing down to the Grand Canyon while I’m at it ;) Out of the Country: Puerto Vallarta w/ my bestie, she has family down there and spent a few years down there as a kid and from what she tells me it was amazing, I totally would love to go, it’s such a beautiful city. Out of the Continent: Italy, I love Italian food and roman history, every time I see a photo of Italy I'm just like “where is my private villa in Tuscany?”

Favorite food: Italian! But that's what I go to for comfort food and stuff but I recently just tried Indian food (I know, I know, look I was a stubborn kid and I liked what I liked and I didn’t like trying new things) and I loved it (at least minus cilantro and coriander *CURSE YOU MOTHER FOR GIVING ME THE SOAP CILANTRO GENE*) so butter chicken has become a new fav

Instruments: I knew piano when I was younger *stares wistfully at my keyboard in my closet* but I have NO idea how to play now, I am a halfway decent singer tho (I was in my hs choir for 3 years, elementary school for like 4 I think?)

Languages: English and the smallest bit of French and Japanese. I can’t speak either very well but a few sentences but I can read both somewhat decently (never got to Kanji tho in Japanese so I can’t really READ Japanese)

Favorite songs: Okay lets see, Movement and NFWMB by Hozier, Left Hand Free by Alt-J, Carter and Cash by Tor Miller, I like most of Hayley Kiyoko’s stuff but Feelings is a fav rn, Burning Down The House by Talking Heads, Dancing in The Dark by Hot Chip (seriously love this one), Homewrecker by Marina (no longer And The Diamonds), Boyfriend by Teagan and Sara, Midnight City by M83, heavydirtysoul and The Hype by twentyonepilots, Gooey by Glass Animals (I love most of their stuff but this one is a fav, also Poplar St), Feels Good to Be High and Surrender by Walk The Moon

Random fact: the guy who invented frisbees asked to be turned into one when he died. I also just learned to snap last year and will periodically snap just to be sure that I haven’t forgotten how to do it

Aesthetic: Thick warms blankets, hazy light from a lampshade, the sprinkle of rain at midnight after a cloudy day, the smell of fresh baked bread. The sound of wind rustling through old redwoods, stars peaking through the branches of trees at night. The dead grass in a graveyard, fingers brushing through hair, burning firewood and the thick choking smoke that follows beauty

Tagging: uhhhhhhhhhhhhh @brains0nt0ast, @lyannas, @bloomgemstonia, @fettuccine-alfreylo and whichever the rest of you guys wants to do it?? Don’t feel pressured

[shinwhoohoo]

Questions: 53, 56, 63 (I hope that isn't too much lol)!! 💖

53. What has been you worst haircut/style?

I’ve always been pretty… consistent with my hairstyles lol. One time I got my ends ‘razored’ which turned out to grow out awfully, not to mention it seemed like it took forever for my ends to return to normal. 

Another time (and much less recently) I got my hair highlighted. Well, I’ve gotten my hair highlighted twice in my life but I’m referring to the first time here. The woman who did it left the dye on too long and it wound up turning orange so… yeah that didn’t look to good, having orange streaks in my hair!

56. What do you like on your toast?

Depends on the type of bread!!! haha. If it’s white bread, then I like peanut butter (occasionally nutella if I have a hankering for it). If it’s a heartier bread (rye is my go-to) then just butter! (You guys never knew you’d be so interested in hearing about my spread choices on toast, right? ha.)

63. Which is cooler: dinosaurs or dragons?

Dinosaurs, since we know (for a fact, at least) that they existed!!! Like how crazy is it that we had basically dragon type reptiles roaming the Earth at one point??! Also I’ve always just really enjoyed reading and learning about dinosaurs. I had a lot of dinosaur toys when I was younger, and Land Before Time was my jam.

Thanks for sending these! They weren’t too much haha, these were pretty simple questions to answer~
