#Stiles is a chaos goblin

[noyzinerd]

Stiles: Don't act like you weren't gone on me the moment I waltzed into your life.

Derek: It wasn't so much a waltz as it was frantic skittering across a roof at 4AM followed by the sound of an accordion falling down the stairs.

how many works do you have on AO3? 131 (+ ~3 more on my Filthy Sock Account)

what’s your total a03 word count? 942,573

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

uhhhhh.  of all time?

1. cast our fevers in stone - a Teen Wolf AU in which Stiles was bitten instead of Scott, and also I tried to make the dumb werewolf show make more sense.

2. That We’ve Broken Their Statues - a Labyrinth/Harry Potter crossover  in which Sarah Williams becomes Lecturer In Muggle Studies.

3. Gifts, Stolen and Received - a Labyrinth/Dresden Files crossover in which Irene Williams hires Harry Dresden to negotiate with her Goblin Queen stepdaughter.

4. ten thousand cuts - Labyrinth fic in which Sarah perhaps ought not have been made Goblin Queen 

5. even bad wolves can be good - Teen Wolf AU where Stiles is and was always a cis girl.

do you respond to comments, why or why not?

I respond when I have the energy, even if it’s just a “thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed.”  I don’t always have the energy, though!  And sometimes I’ll be like “this is a really great comment, it’s so meaty, i should respond point by point” and then I... never do that.  I read and adore every single one, though!

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

uh, fuck. I typically go for bittersweet endings. probably “When the Chaos Calls Me Out,” since it’s pretty much unequivocally positive. 

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

all of them.  Either “Weights, Measures” (which is an exploration of how Wizarding Britain could become a Gilead rip-off), or “ten thousand cuts.”

do you write crossovers?

Lol, two of my most popular fics are crossovers.  I don’t write them particularly often, but yeah, I write them.

have you ever received hate on a fic?

I once got somebody who was being shitty about how rapists behave and what a rape victim ought to have done on a fic that was deeply, deeply personal to me.  But I have not received any sort of personal hate.  I also have an extremely low tolerance policy for inappropriate behavior in my comments and will delete that shit with extreme prejudice, and have moderated comments on my FFVII fics because I don’t want to hear people’s stupid opinions about my “problematic” pairings.

do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Absolutely, and I write all kinds.  I’ve written warm, tender morning sex and painful, angsty mutual noncon, and sex that was just business, and euphoric sex under the influence of sex pollen, and sex that felt warm and tender but was really just another way to lie.

have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of?

have you ever had a fic translated?

I’ve had one fic translated into Russian, and another made into a podfic.

have you ever co-written a fic before?

I did once, a Kastle fic.  It has since been deleted.  Other than that, not often, since my high school days.

what’s your all-time favourite ship?

Uhhhhhhhhhhh.  Probably either Vincent/Yuffie or Aoshi/Misao, since I go back to them so perennially.

what’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

"Gifts and Treasures,” AKA the fic where Yuffie finds out just what the hell KH!Vincent’s deal is, and also, they find Lulu.

what are your writing strengths?

Premise, characterization, dialogue, research.

what are your writing weaknesses?

Finishing.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Depends on your viewpoint character.  If your narrator understands the language, then why??  If they don’t, then consider how much of the language they know/how well they’d be able to identify what they were hearing.  I am, however, 100% okay dropping single words/phrases in other languages as long as the context makes their meaning clear.

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers.

what’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I’m genuinely not super sure.  I guess it’s whatever I’m writing currently?  I’m proudest of “Broken Statues” and “Flicker From View,” but I’m super excited about “When The Chaos Calls Me Out.”

Times Stiles Proved He Was Terrifyingly Vengeful--BONUS ROUND: Two ACTUAL Moments of Stiles Being A Spiteful, Petty, Chaos Goblin That Are Canon

1. In s01e06, after Scott had ignored Stiles' calls about the Alpha all day to play hooky with Allison and elements of Scott's life also managed to get the sheriff hit by a car in s01e05, Stiles tells Scott that he is willing to help Scott control his power despite still being super mad at him because, quote, "your crap has infiltrated my life" (Stiles does, in fact say at three different points that he's still mad at Scott throughout the episode). This "help" consisted of Stiles telling Scott to raise his keys in the air as Stiles keyed a guy's truck, before loudly yelling "Whoa! What are you doing to that truck, bro?!", then watched as 4 guys pummeled him into the ground.

All of this was, of course, after Stiles had already taped Scott's hands together and pelted Scott with lacrosse balls earlier that morning.

2. That time Stiles found out Scott made out with Lydia in season 1 (when he was actually supposed to be Stiles' wingman) and offered Scott a dog bowl for him to drink out of.

Think about that. After lacrosse practice, Stiles had to stop off at a store to buy a dog bowl for like $9 and a bottle of water, all for a one time jab at Scott. He sat there in his Jeep angrily sketching in Scott's name onto that bowl with a Sharpie before shoving this unnecessary bowl and bottle of water in a 15 pound bag of chains that he lugged up the stairs. Stiles spent actual, for real money and effort for this 2 second bit.
