:D Thank you!!!

From this ask game!

3. What’s your favorite fic that you’ve written?

God, it's hard to pick. Definitely a tie between a thousand pics and one night with me. Both are very near and dear to my heart for different reasons. A thousand pics was what got me back into publishing and really blew up and became a much bigger project than I ever intended, and I still have so many ideas for it. One night is really fun in that it's not only, well, really fun to write smut, but it's also fun to write a fic that takes place in the broad area/state I grew up in! Really cool to get to talk about places I've been a thousand times haha

4. How many WIPs do you have right now?

Currently, I technically have four, but only three are actively being worked on. A thousand pics, one night, and a secret third project that I'm writing and then dropping all at once, plus psych ward, which is currently on the backburner and I'm not actively working on.

5. What’s a fic idea you’ve had that you will never write?

Very early on in my time with the fandom I had the idea for a rejanis fic with a trans masc/non-binary Janis. I still like the idea, but I just don't have any actual plot to go along with it, so unless I suddenly get struck with inspiration for an actual plot, it'll forever just remain a concept in my brain and a few thousand works in a Google Doc.

15. How do you come up with titles for your fics/chapters?

Depends on the fic! Psych Ward is the outlier because it's the only fic where the chapters have titles, but so far, none of those titles have been song lyrics. They have something to do with the chapter, sometimes a pun, etc, but are usually thought up during the brainstorming process for the chapter itself.

For the rest of my fics, all the titles have been song lyrics! Usually I have a good idea of what the general vibe/plot of the fic is, and I go through my Spotify listening to music I think fits the vibe and searching for lyrics. Sometimes I find it right away, sometimes I end up with a list of lyrics that somewhat fit but not quite, and have to whittle it down. Sometimes fic titles change pretty last minute! I went back and forth on what I wanted one night to be called for a while, but I'm very happy with what I landed on! A thousand pics, on the other hand, I knew right away that I wanted to use a lyric from Golden Dandelions because that song fit the vibe I was going for.

18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?

GOD a specific line. Um... Okay so I just spent a while trying to narrow it down but it's way too hard so I'll name some concepts instead!

The Build-A-Bear sequence/cute aftermath in one night

The Crunchy Tuna Surprise chapter of Psych Ward

The running joke of the goddamn Kindle in a thousand pics. It makes me laugh every time.

Thanks again for the ask!! I'm gonna send you one but it'll be on anon cause this is a sideblog and for complicated reasons I don't publicly tie my main blog to this lmao
