3, 6, 12, and 30!!

hello sweet astri!! thank you for these questions. 💌☘

3. What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?

a very good question that i rly hard for me to answer. i think a lot of the stuff i've written this year has pushed me to work in new genres or with new techniques and so i find a lot of pride mostly in the breadth and volume of the work i've published in the calendar year.

trying to narrow that down, i will say i am quite proud of the beginning of tenenbaum (it's complex and oh so transhuman), but i am less in love with the ending (it's rushed, no easy way around it) i am very fond of the complexity and breadth of my first long foray into ults fic with stop bath, but little pieces like blue oleander or the small pieces in the long and short of it are really good examples of me trying out some new tricks and succeeding p well at them (imho)

6. Favorite title you used?

stop bath, probably!! i lingered over the title choice for this fic for a very long time and even explained it as the first chapter:

Stop bath, noun.

Stop bath is a chemical used for processing black-and-white photographic films, plates, and paper. Stop bath is commonly a 2% dilution of acetic acid in water.

Because organic developers only work in alkaline solutions, stop bath halts the development process almost immediately and provides precise control of development time. Neutralizing the alkalinity of basic developers also helps to preserve the strength of the fixer, making it last longer.

the concept of stop bath, the function and form of it mimics to do with the layers of the fic - the blackmail with a physical photo itself, the delivery of key plot points, the astringent snapshots of steve and tony's relationship, his inability to want to give up sleeping w tony, [other plot spoilers]. stop bath also echoes pacing/development of the plot and characterization to me

12. How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?

god, what a question. counting them up, i have about.....28 WIPs for 3 different fandoms in my various scrivener files. 🙃🔪👌 it is...entirely too many. 10 of these i have already started to post, but a few of them are still very smol and far out. as a surprise tho, some of them are continuations of fics marked complete on my profile ehheeehe

30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?

writing PWP first comes to mind. (especially a 25k PWP to start off the year with and then later kinktober. i like to GO BIG kfdsjbnjk) but writing hockey rpf is close behind lmfao. didn't expect to fall into that, what can you do, etc.
