20 Questions for Fanfic Writers
thank you for the tag, @drabbles-mc 🥰
1) How many works do you have on AO3?: i have 275 on AO3.
2) What's your total AO3 word count?: 773,676. Life willing, I'd like to hit a milli one day.
3) What fandoms do your write for?: Literally so many? not in any particular mode rn, just struggling my way through a The Bear (TV) longfic. historically my biggies were: peaky blinders, exchange fandom (aka just writing gifts in a bunch of diff fandoms for fanfic exchanges), narcos, and now i'm jus drifting
4) Top 5 fics by kudos: This...is not what i expected???
The Truth — Apollonia x Michael Corleone, ficlet
Ten Things — Alfie Solomons x reader, 8.7k
Oblivion (Never Been A Better Reason) — Venom/Eddie Brock, 7.2k
STREET SMARTS! — Charlie x Harper (from Set It Up), 1.3k
The Intern — M'Baku x black reader, 13.8k
There is just...there is no rhyme or reason to this. Or pattern. God I love fandom so much
5) Do you respond to comments?: Yes! I try to answer them all, although sometimes I hoard comments on a recent chapter of a longfic so I can reread them, which is...silly, cause I can still reread them once I've replied to them? I should be better/swifter about this.
6) What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?: I spent an inordinate amount of time coming up with a shortlist. This is not what the question asked for, but I'm listing them anyways because I couldn't narrow it down any further.
last rites. — Horacio Carrillo x reader, 4.6k
in for five years — Mick Moynihan character study, 1k
not right/not enough — Javier Peña x Horacio Carillo, ficlet
The End — OFC x OFC, 2.2k
Oblivion (Never Been A Better Reason) — Venom/Eddie Brock, 7.2k
7) What's a fic you wrote with the happiest ending?: I have a handful of total fluffies, I think? This is one.
Peach — Astrid Leong/Goh Peik Lin, 2.4k
8) Do you get hate on fics?: Not that I can remember, though I have experienced a few stunners secondhand through friends who have gotten some real weird/inaccurate/racist stuff.
9) Do you write smut?: Yes! Badly.
10) Craziest crossover?: I couldn't choose.
this is the last time — Avatar (animated 00s children's TV show) x Mad Max: Fury Road (R rated 2015 dystopian action movie)
the pale orange skirt in the Continental lobby — John Wick (recent gritty action movies) x Marie Kondo RPF (reality tv show about supremely pleasant small woman who teaches organizational skills)
One thing about me is that I'll treat a crack crossover dead serious.
11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?: No, thank goodness! I'd be so upset.
12) Have you ever had a fic translated?: Yes! I only allow translations to be published on AO3, and I prefer people ask first. I've been translated into Mandarin, Russian, and Bengali. Pride and joy <3
13) Have you ever cowritten a fic before?: Ohhhh yeah. The big ones are:
The Pack Survives cowritten with herequeerandreadytofight, 54,597
A Bit of Heart Left cowritten with shoshe_anders, 53,034
heart full of love and murder cowritten with herequeerandreadytofight, 38,520
I find that it's way easier to sustain longfic with a partner. We go back and forth writing a paragraph or two, then handing it over again. Nobody is in charge of specific characters, both partners can just do whatever they want (with communication, ofc).
14) All time favorite ship?: I have no idea, tbh.
15) What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?: Anything I've tagged "Abandoned Work - Unfinished and Discontinued" on AO3 while holding back tears. Plenty. No further comment. 😂
16) What are your writing strengths?: i
17) What are your writing weaknesses?: Smut and fight sequences. Anything where it's primarily description of 2+ bodies doing extremely important and physically precise interaction. Yeesh! Yuck. It's hard.
18) Thoughts on dialogue in another language?: Speaking as a reader, my first preference is that a fic be all in one language, regardless of what that language is. After that, I like when there are entire chunks in another language. My least favorite type is when the whole fic is one language, but then inexplicably there's only a few words, or just random very simple sentences in another language. If the characters themselves very naturally go from language to another in their canon everyday life and it's a characterization choice, then I'm sometimes into it, but again I prefer it if it's done realistically, i.e. it's not all just one language with only swear words or only basic words thrown in of the other language, but rather reflects how bi- or multilingual people really go in and out of different languages with each other (like my aunts and grandmother, for example). As a writer, I don't envision myself mixing languages in a fic unless it's for a very specific reason. I've done an all-Spanish ficlet, but I doubt it was good. I particularly admire people who regularly publish in languages other than English and Mandarin, and I wish I could support them via commenting more, but I'm just not properly fluent.
19) First fandom you wrote in?: A Jason Bourne x East Indian original female character fic in a composition book as a child, never shared with anyone. My OFC wore purple a lot and their meetcute was her spying on him and then having to save his life when he almost choked to death on a chicken bone.
20) Favorite fic you've ever written?: Can't pick just one, yet again. Oblivion (Never Been A Better Reason) I love because I feel I was able to sublimate my feelings and experiences during that time into a work of art. The Bride and do i know you? both because the longfic experience of working on it over time and accumulating readers and interacting with them and genuinely feeling that I'm creating something for people who care about it is just...really meaningful to me.

The title itself is so good. But so is the publication, with its whimsical typography and illustrations of rhymes still recited today with gusto by children in the park near my home. You may be surprised by some of the contributors, such as Shakespeare, Hans Christian Andersen, Kate Greenaway, the Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore, Walter de la Mare and Eugene Field, to name a few.

Bengali rhymes (ছড়া) are so fascinating to me like,,, they're loaded with stories, history in its rawest form,,, you can hear the voices of common people, especially women, from generations, maybe centuries ago, who were forgotten but left their imprints on the world all the same. (Not to be a broken record on main but that's what history is!! It's remembering, it's looking back and knowing you're not alone!)
I mean,,,

^ these are some of my favourites because they give me many Feels. If I was more comprehensible I could make observations on how they provide insights to the lives of the women who made them, their love for their children, their domestic lives, their pain in their married lives, customs important to them like jamai shashthi, their colloquial language.
But rn I'm losing my mind because of how, idk, how tangible it is, how you can read these and Feel the emotions of the women who made them? Mothers trying to put their babies to sleep or comforting them or just fawning over them, maybe tired after a long day but full of love for their children. Or young women crying silently over the oven, unable to tell anyone how they're suffering at their in-laws. Or slightly older women feeling done™ when their husbands are being dumb or neighbours disrupt their chores. Idk I just have so many feels help

PRE LOCKDOWN MEMORIES AND HOW I LIVE NOW..
Lockdown has become the looming reality of our lives across the world oweing it to covid 19. People have taken this time to contemplate and ponder the priorities of their life. So have I. This led me to look back to some fond memories.
Talking of fond memories I look back to the most recent outing i had with my dearest friend. The last time I spent with Pritha before we got caged. It was a movie date, matinee show. On a bright winter day i made the mindless mistake of donning the thinnest ripped denim jacket in my possession in the hopes of looking fashionable. Nevertheless, putting that concern at the back of my head I was looking out for Pritha who was supposed to meet me at the Kali ghat station. After much confusion I found her at gate no. 6 where I saw her mother turn her car around and leave. "She waited to confirm that its you i was meeting with" , Pritha laughed. In the auto riksha that was taking us to our destination-Quest mall, Pritha and I being the chatter-birds , began to have a hearty laugh at every little or lame joke. Two other men riding in the same auto as us seemed to be friends. A meme on Facebook about a then recently released bengali film had gone viral, so Pritha showed me the same. It was a rhyme that roughly translates to- moral of the story is that even if a girl calls you bro, don't loose heart you still have a chance. But neither Pritha nor I laughed, it was the man beside us who was with his friend. I figured those two had lent an ear to us all along the ride and enjoyed our humor LOL.
We had arrived at Quest mall and bought our tickets to the theatre. This film that i had suggested was called spies in disguise. A children's animated film, so I had a little anxiety about the choice of film I had made. But oh boy i couldn't have done it more right. The film was outright hilarious and far more entertaining than any adult so called intellectual film. But what happened after the film was even more hilarious. Walking out of the theatre, Pritha and I both engrossed in a conversation about the film we just watched feeling all giddy about it, i was even feeling a little light-headed, none of us saw where we were going. Then we entered a door and i was like " did you mean to bring us here Pritha". Shooting her eyes forward Pritha found herself in the men's washroom, taking a u-turn she dashed out. I kept calling her but a deeply embarrassed Pritha kept walking on while i couldn't hold back my tears of laughter, it was hilarious.
We had to wait for a good deal of time to get a table for two at ZamZam, but thankfully the food was satiable. Then, with the sun,my energy also seemed to go down the horizon and hence it was time to depart. There is much more to this incident though but all that can't be finished in a blog. Precisely it was a movie date with best friend done right. Contentedly we went back home.
Then we tumbled into the lockdown life. There also has been a lot of ups and downs. It started like a sudden stress free life, and students couldn't be more ecstatic. The books on the shelves had gone into hibernation wrapped in a blanket of dust. We were in an ignorant bliss until live online classes started but no that didn't make us pull our books out of slumber. Rather procrastination was the key. So much so that even when our anxiety regarding the uncertainty of semester exams had peaked, we continued to just sit idle and panic. During these hard times, sharing our emotions with friends and fellow classmates helped. Pritha and I kept each other sane through our late night talks. And yes, I am officially a nocturnal animal. This has only gotten worse in the lockdown. Lockdown apparently might seem like a stagnent phase of time, but take a closer look, it has been a crazy mental rollercoaster and my friends would surely attest to that. Now we have been promoted to the next year but none of us know what lies ahead. Only time can tell... let's hope all will be well.

Role of Gender Inequality in Peace Disruption and Conflict Intensification
                                     -Anindya Basak (20 July, 2020)
Gender norms are deeply embedded in our society. According to the convenience of patriarchy, roles are assigned to males and females in structural functionalist setup. Established cultural hegemony authenticates superiority of  male over  female in intellectual and physical attributes based on their biological differences. Even though gender roles have been mobilized in recent times, there exists a clear pattern in terms of men holding important administrative positions that require rigorous decision-making.
When the little child breaks the vile of oil,
she incurs your wrath as if it was an act of despoil…
What about the many ways in which
you petty man-children have broken India, so verdant and rich
What about that?
-Annada Sankar Ray (Translated by Debasmita Boral)                                         
Famous Bengali and Odia poet and essayist wrote these lines during partition of India, pinpointing the role of power-hungry, egoistic male leaders behind Partition. Male ego doesn’t conform to rationality. The idea of strong masculine leadership reclines on muscle-flexing rather than compromise. Understanding the grievances behind conflict requires empathy, rationality, inclusivity and flexibility. Egoistic leaders are never prepared to change their views by considering others’ arguments as their gigantic self-interests and egos come in the way.
 The very character of leadership revives around the norms of masculinity. The very few women occupying leadership roles are judged by their masculine or unfeminine stance. Therefore, the yardsticks of measuring leadership quality itself force women to violate the established gender norms.
 Constant deterioration of climate and depletion of resources increases the likelihood of conflict in near future. Availability of weapons of mass destruction poses the threat of serious collateral damage. Today, diplomacy is more important than it ever was. Women are much more suited to take diplomatic decisions as the centuries of exploitation by patriarchy has designed them to become more resolute and compromising. 
 A recent article published in The New York Times talks about the success of female World leaders in containing the COVID-19 outbreak relative to their male counterparts (Taub, A. 2020). Inclusive decision-making and listening to experts from multiple disciplines are regarded as the reasons behind the success of female World leaders. Creating an eco-chamber where peers reciprocate identical words rather than providing an alternate perspective or criticism leads to blind-spots. The susceptibility of such decision-making is far less when equal representation of Women on the table is guaranteed. Therefore, gender equality is an absolute imperative in decision-making roles.
P.S. Establishing a binary between Masculine and Feminine leadership qualities is not the point as both of these identities can end up anywhere in the spectrum according to their subjectivities. My intention is to find the correlation between socialization of women in an inherent patriarchal society and the impact of it on decision-making of women.

I’m excited to be back, especially since there are so many fun books ahead of us in the next couple of months! Here are four that I’ve got my eye on:
The Love and Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan Scholastic Press
Seventeen-year-old Rukhsana Ali tries her hardest to live up to her conservative Muslim parents’ expectations, but lately she’s finding that harder and harder to do. She rolls her eyes instead of screaming when they blatantly favor her brother and she dresses conservatively at home, saving her crop tops and makeup for parties her parents don’t know about. Luckily, only a few more months stand between her carefully monitored life in Seattle and her new life at Caltech, where she can pursue her dream of becoming an engineer.
But when her parents catch her kissing her girlfriend Ariana, all of Rukhsana’s plans fall apart. Her parents are devastated; being gay may as well be a death sentence in the Bengali community. They immediately whisk Rukhsana off to Bangladesh, where she is thrown headfirst into a world of arranged marriages and tradition. Only through reading her grandmother’s old diary is Rukhsana able to gain some much needed perspective.
Rukhsana realizes she must find the courage to fight for her love, but can she do so without losing everyone and everything in her life?
The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf Salaam Reads
A music-loving teen with OCD does everything she can to find her way back to her mother during the historic race riots in 1969 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in this heart-pounding literary debut.
Melati Ahmad looks like your typical moviegoing, Beatles-obsessed sixteen-year-old. Unlike most other sixteen-year-olds though, Mel also believes that she harbors a djinn inside her, one who threatens her with horrific images of her mother’s death unless she adheres to an elaborate ritual of counting and tapping to keep him satisfied.
But there are things that Melati can’t protect her mother from. On the evening of May 13th, 1969, racial tensions in her home city of Kuala Lumpur boil over. The Chinese and Malays are at war, and Mel and her mother become separated by a city in flames.
With a 24-hour curfew in place and all lines of communication down, it will take the help of a Chinese boy named Vincent and all of the courage and grit in Melati’s arsenal to overcome the violence on the streets, her own prejudices, and her djinn’s surging power to make it back to the one person she can’t risk losing.
**Content warnings: Racism, graphic violence, on-page death, OCD and anxiety triggers.**
On the Come Up by Angie Thomas Balzer + Bray
Sixteen-year-old Bri wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Or at least make it out of her neighborhood one day. As the daughter of an underground rap legend who died before he hit big, Bri’s got big shoes to fill. But now that her mom has unexpectedly lost her job, food banks and shutoff notices are as much a part of Bri’s life as beats and rhymes. With bills piling up and homelessness staring her family down, Bri no longer just wants to make it—she has to make it.
On the Come Up is Angie Thomas’s homage to hip-hop, the art that sparked her passion for storytelling and continues to inspire her to this day. It is the story of fighting for your dreams, even as the odds are stacked against you; of the struggle to become who you are and not who everyone expects you to be; and of the desperate realities of poor and working-class black families.
We Set the Dark on Fire by Tehlor Kay Mejia Katherine Tegen Books
At the Medio School for Girls, distinguished young women are trained for one of two roles in their polarized society. Depending on her specialization, a graduate will one day run a husband’s household or raise his children, but both are promised a life of comfort and luxury, far from the frequent political uprisings of the lower class. Daniela Vargas is the school’s top student, but her bright future depends upon no one discovering her darkest secret—that her pedigree is a lie. Her parents sacrificed everything to obtain forged identification papers so Dani could rise above her station. Now that her marriage to an important politico’s son is fast approaching, she must keep the truth hidden or be sent back to the fringes of society, where famine and poverty rule supreme.
On her graduation night, Dani seems to be in the clear, despite the surprises that unfold. But nothing prepares her for all the difficult choices she must make, especially when she is asked to spy for a resistance group desperately fighting to bring equality to Medio. Will Dani cling to the privilege her parents fought to win for her, or to give up everything she’s strived for in pursuit of a free Medio—and a chance at a forbidden love?

At the Venice Film Festival, he won a Golden Lion for Aparajito(1956), and awarded the Golden Lion Honorary Award in 1982. At the Berlin Film Festival, he was one of only three to win the Silver Bear for Best Director more than once and holds the record for the most Golden Bear nominations, with seven. At the Moscow Film Festival in 1979, he was awarded for the contribution to cinema. Ray received many awards, including 32 National Film Awards by the Government of India. He also wrote essays on film, published as the collections: Our Films, Their Films (1976), Bishoy Chalachchitra (1976), and Ekei Bole Shooting (1979). Ray wrote an autobiography about his childhood years, Jakhan Choto Chilam (1982). Ray also wrote many short stories mostly centered on Macabre, Thriller and Paranormal which were published as collections of 12 stories. Ray created two of the most famous fictional characters ever in Bengali children's literature-Feluda, a sleuth in Holmesian tradition, and Professor Shonku, a genius scientist. In 1949, Ray married Bijoya Das and the couple had a son, Sandip ray, who is now a famous film director. In 1940, he went to study in Santiniketan where Ray came to appreciate Oriental Art. (Hons.) in Economics at Presidency College of the University of Calcutta, though his interest was always in Fine Arts. Ray was born to Sukumar and Suprabha Ray in Calcutta. Sukumar Ray, Upendrakishore's son and father of Satyajit, was a pioneering Bengali author and poet of nonsense rhyme and children's literature, an illustrator and a critic. Ray's grandfather, Upendrakishore Ray Chowdhury was a writer, illustrator, philosopher, publisher, amateur astronomer and a leader of the Brahmo Samaj, a religious and social movement in nineteenth century Bengal. The Government of India honoured him with the Bharat Ratna in 1992. Ray received many major awards in his career, including 32 Indian National Film Awards, a number of awards at international film festivals and award ceremonies, and an Academy Award in 1992. Ray did the scripting, casting, scoring, and editing, and designed his own credit titles and publicity material. This film, Aparajito (1956) and Apur Sansar (1959) form The Apu Trilogy. Ray's first film, Pather Panchali (1955), won eleven international prizes, including Best Human Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival. He authored several short stories and novels, primarily aimed at children and adolescents. He was also a fiction writer, publisher, illustrator, calligrapher, graphic designer and film critic. Ray directed 36 films, including feature films, documentaries and shorts. Starting his career as a commercial artist, Ray was drawn into independent filmmaking after meeting French filmmaker Jean Renoir and watching Vittorio De Sica's Italian neorealist 1948 film, Bicycle Thieves. Ray was born in the city of Calcutta into a Bengali family prominent in the world of arts and literature. Satyajit Ray (Bengali: সত্যজিৎ রায়) was an Indian filmmaker and author of Bengali fiction and regarded as one of the greatest auteurs of world cinema. Published in association with the Society for the Preservation of Satyajit Ray Films, and including fascinating photographs by and of the master, Deep Focus not only reveals Ray's engagement with cinema but also provides an invaluable insight into the mind of a genius. With the economy and precision that marked his films, Ray writes on the art and craft of cinema, pens an ode to silent cinema, discusses the problems in adapting literary works to film, pays tributes to contemporaries like Godard and Uttam Kumar, and even gives us a peek into his experiences at film festivals, both as a jury member and as a contestant. This book brings together, for the first time in one volume, some of his most cerebral writings on film. He was also a bestselling writer of novels and short stories, and possibly the only Indian film-maker who wrote prolifically on cinema. His films, from Pather Panchali in the mid-1950s to Agantuk in the 1990s, changed the way the world looked at Indian cinema. Satyajit Ray is acknowledged as one of the world's finest film-makers.
