Thanks for the tag, @quoththemaiden! I saw this one milling around and dreaded/eagerly awaited it reaching me in alternating 6-hour shifts (OK, I didn't think about it that much). No-pressure tags for... @frogs-in3-hills @rage-against-the-dying-of-light @franzizka @monimolimnion @dgcakes @nemaliwrites @kristimoon @mirjam-writes @thelocalmuffin
1. How many works do you have on AO3? 90, accounting for one in a currently unrevealed collection.
2. What's your total AO3 word count? 394,715. Ambitiously, I hope to hit half a million this year. We Shall See.
3. What fandoms do you write for? Ace Attorney, Good Omens, and a smattering of Final Fantasy titles.
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! One of the first places I landed when I finally got internet access was Livejournal, and I had a great many conversations in the comments there that led to long-lasting friendships. AO3 currently doesn't seem to have quite the same culture of keeping a conversation going, but every now and then, someone catches on (hi Quoth), and I'm always grateful. I also love getting responses when I'm the person who left a comment, so I like to assume that others feel the same way.
5. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Ooh, not to my knowledge. I think I've always been safely enough under the radar.
6. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yep, plenty of times with a variety of people. Mostly RP-style with alternating forum posts or instant messages, but once or twice via something like google docs, which I like because there's a comment functionality rather than [putting the part you're saying in brackets to tell your partner(s) it's not part of the body message]. I miss it pretty often, but I'm also nervous about trying again.
7. What's your all-time favourite ship? Ooh. Hmm. Frog and Toad. Those were formative works for me. Tell me that doesn't explain my insistence on Softe(tm) vibes. I'll also give a shout to Klapollo for getting me back into writing after roughly a decade, but tbh my multishipping heart sees other fun options for them too.
8. What are your writing strengths? Warm and cozy vibes, close character focus, wrapping things up nicely. I also like to think my heavy-handed metaphors and parallels are strengths since they're consistently part of my style, though I know they're an acquired taste.
9. What are your writing weaknesses? Physical description. Get that outta here. I don't know what she's wearing. I don't know how it looks in the room. I don't know what the room looks like or if they're even in a room! All written scenes take place in The Void until plot mandates otherwise. I think I also still struggle with consistent characterization, particularly over the course of longer works, but I'm getting better.
10. First fandom you wrote for? Wrote for casually? Monster Rancher. Actually officially wrote for and let others read? FFVII.
