K and M from the fanfic asks! c:

Hello there! :D Thank you for asking!

Tis the prompt list

K. Do you have a guilty pleasures in fic (reading or writing)?

*insert long tirade on how the concept of "guilty pleasure" is for her almost as unbearable as the one of "talent"*

I'll spare you that, maybe. xD

Ok listen. I love trash. I love reading and watching trash, I find it SO funny. The kind of trash that knows it's trash? Usually they're movies WAY better than serious ones that wants to convey a message at all costs. (I'll stop here lest I start in a 30 pages long tirade on how for me the first John Wick is a better movie than The Revenant, both sharing a very similar plot.) Give me a crack, extremely unlikely ship and I'm sold. I actually liked My Immortal. Vampyre Potter is the best Potter hands down (it adds the fact that I like to imagine the terf being disgusted at that fic).

As for writing: I do love sillyness. I do love to shitpost about Solas, mainly putting him in situations where he's forced in a fun way to rethink his opinions. See: putting him in the same room with children. I'll always bet on children, sorry not sorry.

None of these makes me feel any guilty tho. Life is too short to feel guilty about personal taste, where it harms no one. Fanfiction is free and it harms no one.

M. What’s the weirdest AU scenario you’ve ever come up with? Did it turn into a story?

I was writing this fic centered on victorian floriography, when I read that in the flower language, rocket salad means, for some reasons I totally fail to understand, "rivalry".

I am a crack person, so I thought on the implications in game if the flower language was diffused in the Orlesian court.

It did develop into a story. Let's say that Samson's trial gained a new charge to all the rest. He was very rude in not sending Aisling some arugula to formally declare his rivalry, no? Florianne did it...

Probably the weirdest AU is "Aisling as Sauron in LOTR". And that yes, did develop in its own story.
