#but that’s ok! it’s absolutely ok! i wouldn’t change a thing about frmb and ultimately writing it was an absolute joy

[mangoisms]

Resisting to ask a lot from the fanfic writer thingy hahahdhjsd but i'll limit it to 25, 74 and 75 :D

nooooo don’t worry cee i’m genuinely happy to answer as many as you want it’s so much fun! plus i only got yours and another ask so i definitely do not mind KFKDJJD

the questions are from this ask game (which is still going on!)

25. What's your favorite part of the writing process (worldbuilding, brainstorming/outlining, writing, editing, etc)?

ooooh probably other than the writing itself, i really like brainstorming. it’s not necessarily outlining but i’m basically just daydreaming a LOT about the fic. i usually know a fic is a feasible idea if i daydream a lot about it because that means i’m excited enough/interested enough to do it. i also don’t know if this counts but — making playlists. actually tbh i would say it counts because playlists are soooo central to my writing, i will never have a fic without a playlist

74. Do you have a fic you wish got a bit more love?

this is a good question.. hm. i’m torn between frmb and be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking. i know it sounds SO weird to say that but while frmb is getting a lot of hits, i don’t see much else in terms of kudos or comments which kind of stinks but i do have you and froggy and some other dedicated readers on wp so it’s ok! it was just something i noticed. it’s also probably the smallness of the reader part of the fandom too.

i guess to REALLY answer the question, it would be be still, my indelible friend, you are unbreaking! i have fun whenever i reread it and i’m like wow this isn’t so bad! but it’s one of my past previously completed fics (like aside from frmb and dgfh) that has the least engagement.

75. Is there a particular fic that readers gravitated towards that you didn't expect?

probably dogfish/like the part of the song where it falls. in the last part, i got a lot of engagement all of a sudden. this is probably just me but my perception of it, as time passed and i was posting it, it kind of soured? i wasn’t as confident as i was beforehand and i was like ‘is this really that good…’ especially since it’s so short! but no i had some comments and kudos on the most recent posted part and i was like Oh. LSKDJDJFNDN so! didn’t expect that sudden burst of interest
