#also realistic word choice also includes the occasional 'ähm' or repetition or something

[fic writer asks]

2. What's the most overrated thing you've written?

This. It's just one of the dozens of silly little tumblr ficlets I've written, but it's literally my DDF fic with the most views and my most kudos-ed fic ever (and I've also written Tatort, Kingsman & Criminal Minds fic at some point), and I know 100% why that is. Because it's fluffy Peter/Bob.

5. Something you hate to see in smut.

Ngl, there are some word choices that always pull me out for a second. And also, I know I'm intensely guilty of conflating "older" with "more dominant" with "top", but I do hate the mental equation that goes small=feminine=sub=bottom.

8. Something you love to see in dialogue.

Just. Realistic word choices, I think? That feel accurate for the character, for their age/class/etc. (And also I love it when Cotta full-names the boys, because he does it regularly in canon and I simply love it. Why are you going "Bob Andrews!" as a greeting, as if you haven't known him for years, as if there was another Bob running around who regularly sits in your office.)

16. What's the most ridiculous thing you've done to put off actually writing?

(just answered - nothing really noteworthy)
