I may not be very comfortable with explicit fic, but I still wish that I had the skill to write BLT Burgers' first time. T_T

20 Questions for Fic Writers Tag Game

How many works do you have on ao3? I have 200 works on ao3.

What's your total word count? My word count is 304,434.

What fandoms do you write for? Bob's Burgers, Pacific Rim, Sailor Moon, and Twilight are my major fandoms. I do occasionally write for others but I haven't yet found another fandom that's grabbed my attention for more than one or two stories.

Top 5 fics by kudos: My top five stories by kudos count are, in order: Teddy in Bob's Heady (227), Eye to Eye (184), Secret Brother Confrontation: Not Clickbait! (175), An Occasion(al Competent Adult) (152), and Gloria in Excess is Hell No (118). I'm disappointed that none of my Sailor Moon stories made the cut. However, I'm pleased that "Teddy" is first, especially as BLT Burgers is an obscure ship that nearly no one but me writes.

Do you respond to comments? It may take me a few weeks but I try to reply to every single comment eventually. If someone was kind enough to comment in the first place, I feel obligated to respond in kind. As well, I can explain and gush in the comments.

What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? My story with the angstiest ending is likely He Isn't You and that Cuts Me Through. I killed off Linda, for Pete's sake! T_T

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? It depends on how you define "happiest" but Truck Be Evade-y Tonight ends with a flashforward where BLT Burgers are grandparents surrounded by family and friends, still deeply in love years later.

Do you get hate on fics? I've gotten multiple negative comments regarding Teddy being "abusive" on my BLT Burgers stories. I also got one anti comment regarding louigan but that was on Tumblr.

Do you write smut? My one completed foray into smut will likely never see the light of day. A friend was even nice enough to beta the story but I've grown more uncomfortable with sex over the years. I can't bring myself to reread the story, let alone read the comments/critiques and then edit. For what it's worth, it's a smut story set in the Athene Noctura universe created by @pickle-plum which is a Pacific Rim Wing!Fic AU.

Do you write crossovers? I've considered writing crossovers before but the energy needed to stay genuine and true to two universes simultaneously puts me off the idea. I love crossovers now; I'm just not skilled to write any of my own at this time.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? I'm not that popular, lol.

Have you ever had a fic translated? I've never had a story translated, although I would be thrilled if that ever happened.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, I don't have the temperment for collaborative writing. I'm either too generous (and thus errors go unmarked) or too critical (and thus feelings get hurt). I already struggle writing alone; writing with someone else would just be a stressful disaster, I tend to think.

What's your all-time favorite ship? My oldest ship (my love is over thirty years old) is Jo/Fritz from Little Women, so I suppose that you could quantify that one as my favorite. My most recent favorite is BLT Burgers (Bob/Linda/Teddy from Bob's Burgers). Usamamo (from Sailor Moon) and newmann (from Pacific Rim) equally brought me into fandom, so they count as well.

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will? Of my unfinished stories on ao3, only Time Enough to Learn is an actual story. I fully intend to finish both that and A Commit-y of Marriers, but ACoM is my top priority at the moment. Plus, I haven't watched the relevant episode of The Twilight Zone in years. I'd want to rewatch the episode before I continue.

What are your writing strengths? My writing strengths are comfort, fluff, poetry, and research.

What are your writing weaknesses? My writing weaknesses are character, dialogue, endings, and growth.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? I don't think that I'll ever attempt to write dialogue in another language due to anxiety. If I ever do, I'll ask/hire a sensitivity reader to assist me.

First fandom you wrote for? The first fandom that I ever wrote for officially is Sailor Moon. However, I imagined scenarios for Little House on the Prairie and Little Women as a child.

Favorite fic you've ever written? Currently my favorite story is ACoM, due to the genuine joy that I'm experiencing writing it. <3

I tag anyone who wants to do this because I'm always afraid of excluding someone. it's a fund exercise, although it took me two hours to finish. I have anxiety, obviously.
