20 question-majigs for writer-whosits

tagged by my @jafndaegur (yes mine, i own my very own jaf, get your own)

AO3 username: anon_drabble

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 104

2. What’s your total AO3 word count? 200,016 (i find it funny that i have like 5x as many fics as jaf but still less total word count lol)

3. What fandoms do you write for? mysme, fire emblem, dragon age mostly... but mostly only mysme because i don't like writing fic unless i know the series backwards and forward

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

interlude - jaehee smut

the true gift - jaehee smut (i appreciate how thirsty jaehee fans are...)

danger - mafia!jumin my beloved (my first-ever multi-chapter fic, i'm so surprised to see this on my top 5 and i'm honestly touched)

sleep deeply - the mysme fandom desperately wants jumin to just take a freaking nap

doting - preggers!mc with a loving jumin

5. Do you respond to comments? most of them... i haven't lately because i haven't written so i haven't been on ao3 in months

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? oh man i have so many angst fics... maybe for the rest of her life or found and lost i think... cracks in the pillar isn't necessarily specifically a fic nor an angst ending but it's probably one of the ones i'm proudest of the angst that i put in it.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? i dunno, man. i don't like my fluff as much lol. sleep deeply? or weddings always make me cry maybe

8. Do you get hate on fics? only one, my ace!seven headcanon fic. got lots of hate for it but never regretted it lmao

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? not a lot. i've written some, obviously jaehee/f!mc smut; jumin/mc smut; zen/mc smut... more smut that are in my wips that will never see the light of day lmao.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? i've never been much for crossovers but technically i wrote a crack star wars/pokemon crossover and jaf and i attempted a grounded/mysme crossover lol.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? who would want to steal my fics? definitely not well-known enough for that lol

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? see above. not well-known enough

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? technically one of the very first fics i ever wrote was co-writtten with my best friend at the time, it was a crack yu yu hakusho fic and to this day, i adore it because it was so much fun to write. and then the fic with jaffu.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? um.... like that i've written or just ever? that i've written is probably obviously jumin/mc but also zen/mc, i just don't get to write zen as often. i don't even know in general. there's some tv show from my childhood that i ship hardcore, like painfully so but i always, always forget it until i re-watch and then i get the feels but then they're gone whenever i'm asked what my top ship is, lol. but the feels are intense for that one, lmao. if only i could remember what it is!

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? my gale/tav fic... or any of my bg3 fanfic ideas...

16. What are your writing strengths? probably dialogue or angst lmao. i want to believe i'm a fairly emotive writer.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? descriptions, definitely, lmao. aphantasia will do that to you...

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? what's not to love?

19. First fandom you wrote for? ...an old book series that i never finished writing and it was before the days of the internet so it died in my notebook lol.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written? oh you mean my baby, my precious fic that i poured my heart and soul into more than any other, the one that has the among the lowest stats of all my works? that one? definitely all those hearts lay open; that must sting. i worked on that more than any other fic, it's the only one of mine that has EVER been proofread and edited after writing. i researched, really pushed myself as a writer and i am proud more of myself than the fic. but i knew it would "bomb" because it was a horror fic and i wrote it for me and one other person and i liked it and that other person liked it so in that regard it was a success.

Ayyeeeeeeeeeeee you wanna share Alternate OCs with each other?? Maybe i just don't socialize much but you're the only person i found that writes Alternates in AUs n stuff

Omg!! Yeah honestly you're the first person I've seen mention/talk about them outside of the YouTubers (and their subs) that have touched on the Mandela Catalogue (MatPat and Jacksepticeye).

I saw your reblog — I totally feel the same way! (I made a post where I kind of talk about it, but it's also quite the ADHD ramble, so don't feel obliged to read xD) Their concept itself is so creepy, but like I'd watch that stuff so fast if it was in a sci-fi thriller (I'm not a big horror movie person, just horror games, but I do enjoy thrillers!) — like you said, love/hate relationship. Terrifying AF but I can't help but gobble it up xD

I don't have any OCs specifically tied to the Alternate's world, but I definitely like to just... drop them into wherever makes sense lolol. Like, for the OC I mentioned (either in the tags or the post, I can't remember), a branch of her powers is creating copies of herself, but because of extreme emotional distress, she's lost control of her main copy — her mind takes all her deepest visual fears and projects it onto that copy. A horrifically decaying face (inspired by Cooking Companions) at first, and later, a shadowy, uncanny valley expression (inspired by Mandela Catalogue).

It's more present in my MysMe-Rifters AU, where alternate dimensions do exist, and the Alternate's world is one of them. My OC's job is keeping the dimensions in order; half of the shadow government she works for is dedicated to that purpose. Stopping civilians from getting their hands on extradimensional object, or interacting with/making deals with extradimensional entities / Returning entities to their dimension / Helping entities with a task if they happen to be docile / etc. So, sometimes Alternates leak through... And because I don't think they would give a damn about not being in their own dimension, of course they go and f*ck up the first person they can latch onto.

I'd wager that an Alternate is very high on the "difficulty to contain/return to home" scale 😅

One of my OC's teammates, Kaja, has powers mimicking the Alternate's affinity for uncanny valley. That is, she can manipulate her features, limbs, voice, etc. to sound or look... you know, terrifying. (She's not a shape shifter, though; she's not a carbon copy of an Alternate's abilities.)

Anyways, that was my ramble lol! I would really like to hear about your OCs!! Feel free to message me if you're more comfortable with that, but you can keep sending me asks if you prefer that :)
