20 questions for fic writers

stolen from @lamardeuse back in 2023 and languishing in my drafts forever

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

39

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

124,445

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Right now I'm adding notes to a possible Soapghost fic, I've ideas for an H50 fic I never know if it'll see the light of day, and bits and pieces of unfinished things in every fandom I ever been in i think.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I've yet to be the king of my castle (911, Buck/Tommy)

On this road I'm crawling (H50, McDanno)

Cause I keep runnin' from my heart (H50, McDanno)

I want to hurry home to you (NCIS LA, Sam/Callen)

Playing favourites (Torchwood, Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones/Gwen Cooper)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Of course! Why? Because it's fun, I might be late replying because of handwave everything in my life rn

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

An old Torchwood, Jack Harkness/Ianto Jones, MCD fic; As I die (Reaping through the truth, Life becomes untrue)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Difficult question, but possibly Cause I keep runnin' from my heart.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Lol no. I'm not the type of writer people get up in arms about, I'm the casual read when you're scrolling a tag

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I'm so tame these days I hardly reach the Explicit rating. But there's bdsm, blood play etc back there since I used to write Spike/Angel and Riddick AUs.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I've a couple I think, the one I remember is Torchwood/Angel the series.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Doubt it

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Once! That was so cool actually.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yeah, nothing saved but back in Livejournal days and before that on message boards rooms, kinda like discord.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Writing wise I think Spike/Angel, it used to be so easy to write a ficlet here and there. They've got such massive shared history to dig into.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

The Dom/Brian werewolf AU. There's also a Spike/Angel that's nearly finished and something gets stuck every time I try and finish it. But hey, I finished my NCIS LA fic series, it only took me 10+ years so who knows. I just need my brain back, there's too much in ny life rn.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Character's voices? I have no idea but that's how every story starts in my head, these dialogues that I then have to build around which isn't my strong suit. But just cause I feel like I've got their voices right doesn't mean they ring true in someone's else's ears.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting and research. The overarching idea for a giant plot always falls apart on the nitty gritty for me. Either I lose momentum and start hating the story, or the nitty gritty becomes like reading a factual add-on. And research stumps me because see previous, I've a hard time picking out what the reader's need to follow along the story and not take them out of the story with too many facts.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I don't know if I ever have?

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Pitch Black I think. Or Angel/Spike.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I still think the old SGA McShep ficlets Rainy days/When the rain lets up but that could be because it was such good fun to be apart of that fandom and I remember enjoying writing that.

It sounds like something I wanna try / It’s either sugary tastiness, or overload too much. But I’m thinking option number one :DD

Wat is a fluffernutter? I’m sorry but internet has broken me completely cause I only combine the name with like sex related words. Like “fluffer” & “nuts aka balls” so I’m reading it as a porn fluffer specialising in nuts. I’m sorry

omg no. it's marshmallow fluff, you spread it on bread with peanut butter and boom, fluffernutter sandwich. it is exactly as horrifyingly sugary and dense as you think.
