[unnonexistence]

1, 3, and 19 for the fic writer asks?

[fic writer ask meme]

1. the last sentence you wrote

ghdnfjsh every time I do a "last sentence" thing I'm like "but what if I posted the whole paragraph though 👉👈" lol. I guess I write in short sentences a lot? anyway it's:

He points at it as if he's got a grudge.

but the full paragraph it's from is:

"It's not about you! Look, there's a little spot on the ceiling, okay?" He points at it as if he's got a grudge. "And I started thinking about how if I didn't have my glasses on, it would look like a spider. And then I started thinking about how weird it is that Rachnid looks like a spider when most of the other kaiju have four-limbed or six-limbed bauplans..." He sighs, frustrated, and runs a hand through his hair. "Sorry."

3. how you feel about your current WIP

currently there is a lot of "oh god I hope I can actually follow through and finish this" because like... I really like it!! I'm really happy with the parts of it that are in good shape, and I want people to be able to read it!! but there's still a long way to go, and my track record with long projects is not great. getting it out there doesn't feel like a sure thing yet, as much as i'd like it to be.

the paragraph above is actually NOT from any of the things I intended to work on, lol. besides The Big WIP I've got 2-3 short things I'm considering finishing up for the Last Days Of War prompt thing in january, and it's not from those, and I don't think it fits any of the other prompts either? maaaybe Compatibility, actually. I could probably make a case for that. and there's always the free space on the 15th... anyway, yeah, got distracted writing a little thing about Newt getting distracted 😂

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

how sonar works & what interferes with it! it's actually barely important to the fic, but I went down a whole rabbit hole researching it & I do think it added a lot to the part where it comes up. I like having at least Semi-Accurate Science Details for Newt and Hermann's conversations if I can manage it, because it grounds things & adds some nice background texture to the story.

the most interesting source I used for the sonar stuff was this video, which I thought was very cool:

thanks for asking!!
