Right back at you for the fic ask meme! How about 18, 33, and 50?

18. What’s your most underrated fic?

Hmmm I think it has to be either Fourth Annual Cauldron Lake Ice Hockey Tournament or Rewrite the Ending. Wildly different but both are actually pretty decent I think?

33. Is there any particular character whose scenes always wind up being longer/more frequent than you expected? Does the quality hold up?

I'm honestly not sure! I feel like I'm usually pretty equal with characters but really I'm just focusing on telling a story. I write in a style of seeing the scene happen in my head and trying to recreate that; almost trying to use stage directions I would give as a guide.

50. Has writing fanfic had a significant impact on your life? Would you say it’s entirely positive?

Writing fanfic has DEFINITELY impacted my life and unfortunately I don't think it's all been positive. Specifically, I think the negative connotations around being a fanfic writer have really impacted me. I was an avid writer when I was younger and I was very passionate about it. Obviously I kept writing as I grew up, but I kept hearing about how "cringey" writing fanfic was and it definitely hurt my (already waning) self esteem. I completely stopped writing for fun in high school and didn't post anything until my freshman year of college. Thankfully it was around then that I decided to not give a flying fuck about what people thought about my hobbies and I started writing again. But even now I'm a bit self-conscious about it. My partner is a published author and sometimes comparing myself to him makes me feel like an imposter just because I write for established worlds and characters.

But I'm working through that! Writing in any form is still a creative work of art and works of art are meant to be created and shared.

Whew okay yeah that was long but yeah! Thanks for the ask!!!!
