20 Questions for Fic Writers of '24

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Currently: 75

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

3,679,393- for now

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Naruto mostly with dips in Undertale

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Pompeii (Naruto) (243,596 words) Under the Rabbit's Moon (Naruto) (202,269 words) Fear is a Teacher (Naruto) (241,966 words) (The Last of the) Real Ones (Undertale (Video Game)) (485,933 words) Whatever You Think It Is (Naruto) (12,990 words)

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

Sometimes, it depends on if the comment has a question I can speak to (or if I have a custom meme for their comment). If there was an easier way to know if comments wanted me to respond I think I'd do it more, but 99% of the time im awkwardly watching the emails come in from under a blanket with a smile as big as my face, not knowing what to do next.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Look at Me (Naruto) (862 words) or maybe Heartstrings (on my Fingers) (Naruto) (26,103 words) as a runner up.

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

In my opinion it's the Obelisk series because it was pretty angsty at parts but that made the payoff sooooo much sweeter.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really, just dumb comments now and then.

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

Not really or at least not in any published format. It's not my strength, and not what I'm interested in reading, honestly.

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

Nope.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes, and I've filed those DMCA forms. Wattpad is the worst offender but I've pulled my fics from some weird places.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!

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

Pompeii (Naruto) (243,596 words) with @thefreckledone

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

I can't just pick one but I love Sakura x being loved and respected. As long as she's being taken care of I'm happy. The main pairings I gravitate back to are SasoSaku, MadaSaku, and ShiSaku.

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

Gosh, there are too many. I don't have 'shame' about my unfinished works but I wish I could pull myself together for White Rabbit (134,736 words)'s final installment.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I don't know if I could call it a strength but I love world building and fantasy settings and it's something I enjoy often.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Editing, condensing. I'm overly verbose but not with especially strong prose.

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

I don't have the skills for that, thank you.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Tokyo Mew Mew, I wrote stuff in my notebook as a 11-12 year old and got in trouble with my mom when she found it. Later on I started publishing online for Naruto fandom waaaay back in 2006.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Probably the Obelisk series, but I've enjoyed so many. Like RED KING (Naruto) (107,844 words) will always have a special place in my heart, as will A Confluence of Stars (Naruto) (98,721 words), but Nightmare Eden: Let Me Wrap My Teeth around the World (Naruto) (105,798 words) is my current obsession and something I felt has really saved my creative spirit.

Anyway, this is like asking me to pick my favorite child.

(AU)

What if you died and something divine loved you so much it couldn't cope with that fact? What if they tried bringing you back but the result was wrong?

More doodles + rambles below:

Now What if what came back was just off. Looks at the divine without the memories that went back decades. It looks, behaves and works in a way just off enough in a way to make the god unable to look at it. it's not you. it's not. it can't be.

.... but what if what got pulled back was still you, but its- YOU'RE wrong and broken in ways you cant understand anymore.

The apocalypse draws closer and closer and you don't know why every day that passes you seem to be falling more and more apart too. The god is gone. You are alone.

....Anyway yeah i fucked up a perfectly normal Lovestory Au. i gave it anxiety is what i did. sorry for horrid typing in 2nd person trying to explain stuff im bad at explaining <3 i draw, not write for a reason lol.

okay so a few people showed interest in a post going further into this topic so here goes.

Hallucination: "A perception-like experience with the clarity and impact of a true perception but without the external stimulation of the relevant sensory organ." This means perceiving something to be there, real in the physical world, when there isn't actually anything in reality causing causing the perception.

these can be:

auditory (hearing things)

visual (seeing things)

olfactory (smelling things)

gustatory (tasting things)

tactile (feeling things on or under skin)

somatic (feeling things further within the body)

Illusion: "A misperception or misinterpretation of a real external stimulus." This means that there is in the real physical world, something causing the perception, but the brain is sending signals that whatever is being perceived is something else. Examples would be seeing an inanimate object as being an animal, hearing wind blowing as human voices, etc.

Both of these are things that many people will experience at least once in their lives, for various reasons. However, if it is causing impairment to functioning/making it harder to go about your life, then it is considered to be a symptom.

sources here are the DSM-V, as well as like, personal experience lol.

[dandyshucks]

if I try to mess with the eyes on the first one anymore I'm going to lose my mind DBDNDML so here have some self insert art,,,, also the houndoom was largely copied from someone else's art (dvixie/SkyVixie on deviantart, the art seems to have been taken down from their gallery though, I just found the art on pinterest and then had to track down the artist fjfkdl idk why ppl repost art with no credit 😭), I was trying to just get a feel for drawing them so I figured (HEAVILY) referencing someone else's piece would be alright for this sort of personal art thing!!

[permanentreverie]

do you guys ever experience it where you're starting a new book or show and you can just. feel the hyperfixation settling in

[elodieunderglass]

It’s because due to the specific alchemy of daemonAUs, any picture of trans femme Laios Touden is inherently and inescapably a picture of human AU Palinode Touden!

However, Palinode would mostly wear this top for the specific purpose of hyping up her brother.

They would go out like this together and do this at every opportunity.

Bee doesn’t know them.
