20 Questions: Writer’s Edition

Thanks @muttpeeta and @libradoodle1 for the tag!

How many works do you have on AO3?

11

What’s your total AO3 word count?

337,002

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

Two! LFN and GoT. The first one was when I was about 17 and a pretty awful writer 🤣

What are your top five fics by kudos?

1. Just Like Magic

2. Airspace

3. Game On

4. The Friend Zone

5. Don't Look

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yes! I appreciate the time and effort people put into writing a comment, even if it's a short one, and I'm grateful for them. I love getting replies to my comments so I try to do the same for others.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

None (at least when we're talking about the Jonerys fics and I refuse to mention any others ><). The way s8 ended is the entire reason I'm writing. I needed a happy ending for them.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

All of them are happy, really. The fluffiest endings go to JLM, Airspace, TFZ, and Starstruck.

Do you write crossovers? If yes, what’s the craziest thing you’ve written?

I don't feel well-versed enough in another fandom to write crossovers, although I would like to. I did write a The Big Bang Theory remix.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope. Got a few negative comments but nothing that constitutes hate. I ignore trolls and they ignore me 😁

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Yeppers! I'm proud to say all my multi-chapters have smut in them 🤣. I tend to lean towards the tamer end, but it is mostly quite explicit.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope. Got a few requests from people who wanted to translate two of my fics to Chinese but I don't think any of them went through with it.

Have you ever co-written a fic?

Not yet. Maybe someday. I'm a control-freak, I don't know how fun I'll be to write with 😅

What’s your all time favourite ship?

I don't think I can rate them. I'm all about Jonerys right now.

What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I don't think I have one. I've had a few ideas that I started and never continued but I don't consider them WIPs. More like ideas that I wrote down. I never post a story if I'm not reasonably sure I can finish it in good time.

What are your writing strengths?

Good question, I'm not really sure! If anyone knows, go ahead and tell me 🤣 Banter tends to be easier for me to write.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I hate writing scenes with multiple characters, it's messy and confusing. Whenever more than 3 characters gather in any of my scenes, one of them suddenly has to run to the bathroom 😂 Otherwise, I'm not sure. Some things don't come easy, but I see them more as challenges than weaknesses (I sound like some sort of a motivational speaker here 😅 but I think writing is a learning process).

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

Strange question. If there's a plot reason for it, sure, why not. I don't think the reader has to understand every single word if there's a reason not to (for example, if the characters are listening to something in a different language and they don't understand a word, makes sense the reader wouldn't either). That said, too long paragraphs that the reader can't, well, READ, will probably make most people skip them.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

LFN, mentioned it above.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

Just Like Magic and The Friend Zone.

Edit: @smoltargling feel like answering these? 😁 Come join the party 😉
