WHAT IS YOUR TOTAL WORD COUNT ON AO3?

103,275 words. a good chunk of that is just ladrien >.>;

HOW OFTEN DO YOU WRITE?

once a week normally, maybe more if i have free time, but i have fallen off the bandwagon in recent months due to various factors. time to stop drafting legal documents and start drafting fics (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

DO YOU HAVE A ROUTINE FOR WRITING?

get myself alone or into the least distracting area, procure adequate hydration, warm up with a drabble, and then select one of the following event chains:

Finish drabble, then get cracking on the Latest Project™.

Drabble spirals out of control; end up with 3k of self-indulgent scribbles.

Get distracted from drabble by internet/meatspace/SHINY._<

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVOURITE KINKS/TROPES/PAIRING?

kinks: *takes a peek at conjugal visit* pampering, pet names, and presents, presumably

tropes: T I M E  T R A V E L, H E L L A. a lot of gen stuff like worldbuilding, family (blood or found), friendships, action adventure, hilarious shenanigans, epic aus and crossovers, general ~*~feelings~*~, also people eating things. still can’t say no to a good slowburn or friends-to-lovers or mutual pining or relationship building fic XD

pairings: still in that Ladrien Mood™, but honestly i’m a filthy multishipper

DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE FIC OF YOURS?

i keep changing my mind depending on how i’m feeling. all my fics have their good and bad points (some more than others lol), but i wouldn’t have gotten past my primary inclination to Not Do Anything and finished them if there wasn’t something about the fic that got me fired up in the first place.

tl;dr all my published fics are my fave!!!

(unpublished is definitely personae non gratae. time travel ot3 legal shenanigans ahoy!!!)

YOUR FIC WITH THE MOST KUDOS?

Karkat and John: Fail at Relationships., demonstrating the enduring legacy of the homestuck fandom, the unstoppable power of ships, and the wild card that is tvtropes fic recommendations

ANYTHING YOU DON’T LIKE ABOUT YOUR WRITING?

i forget to add in necessary context a lot, like scenery description or plot background, and it either ends up being a pain to fix during editing or i miss it and a reader wildly misinterprets what i’m trying to say

generally tho, i lack stamina as a writer. i finish maybe 20% of my wips, have never successfully finished a multichapter fic, and the things i do finish take f o r e v e r for me to get from start to end

(i’m working on it (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑ )

NOW SOMETHING YOU DO LIKE (ABOUT YOUR WRITING)?

LISTEN UP GENTLE WRITERS AND READERS! THIS AUTHOR IS A NO GENRES BARRED POWERHOUSE OF RANDOMNESS!!

YOU WANT ANGSTFIC? BAM! YOU WANT DUMB SHENANIGANS?? BAM!! YOU WANT ENDLESS FLUFF??? BAM!!! YOU WANT CHARACTER PIECES???? BAM!!!! YOU WANT MINDFUL SMUT????? BAM!!!!! YOU WANT KICKASS ACTION?????? BAM!!!!!! YOU WANT WEIRD NARRATIVE STYLES??????? BAM!!!!!!!

also i like some turns of phrases here and there, some weird situations/aus i get characters into by jumping off prompts or following logical tangents.

(i’m still really upset i can’t find an atla au where gyatso gets trapped in the glacier with aang and gyatso pretends to be the avatar to give aang the chance to live long enough to be the avatar)

Tagging: i’m waaaaay too tired to tag anyone rn. if you’re interested, go for it!
