#i don't say this lightly but my beloved blorbo

[vorakh]

still super funny that after my first run at disco elysium kim was vocal enough about all the running that i played the game regularly walking all the time to make it easier for him but the game isn't designed that way so kim still goes "the famous jamrock shuffle! all the running around!" and well well who looks stupid now

20 Questions Game

Thanks for the tag, @bronzeagepizzeria <3

How many works do you have on AO3?

68!

2. What's your total AO3 words count?

734,052

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, I really only write Doctor Who aside from a handful of other one-offs I've written, but I literally have at least a hundred WIPs/ideas in my drafts.

Fandoms that I have tons of ideas for are Broadchurch and Jessica Jones (TV series), which I hope to get around to publishing. But I have a fair bit of range hiding away haha.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

In descending order:

Broken-Hearted (cross-over with Broadchurch; multi-chapter; completed)

Braids (one-shot)

Desperate Measures (multi-chapter; completed)

Exes and Ohs (one-shot)

A Lesson in Romantic (AU; multi-chapter; completed)

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

Pretty much as soon as I can! I appreciate engagement so much and I want to make that known to commenters. Plus, I love a bit of banter and discussion where prompted - it's a delight!

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

Oooo, boy. Probably Happy Together? Or maybe the first chapter of Sunburn? Violet Hill was also pretty sad. I love me some dark, heavy stories that fuck up my beloved blorbos.

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

Although I haven't updated in it in quite a while, I've written a fair bit of the sequels for the A Lesson in Romance universe, and, boy, have I made those two have a (mostly) happy life together.

In terms of published stories, I think Study Buddies would take the cake or one of the many TentooRose pieces I've done. The former is very classic, high school sweetheart vibes with just enough angst dashed in, and I tend to keep the latter sweet, fluffy and horny.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I received some very intense 'constructive' criticism whilst writing A Lesson in Romance - like I'm talking extremely long paragraphs pretty much deconstructing my writing and questioning my content. I was young at the time, it was my first multi-chapter Doctor Who fic, and the fact that this person also pretty much outright told me how I should write my story pissed me off a bit, so I, in the most polite way possible, asked them to stop reading my story and leaving these comments.

Aside from that? I've really only had one sort of bad comment since then, but I opted to not reply.

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

Oh, you know I do ;) I currently only write F/M; have explored M/M in the past so I'm down to write queer smut if the inspiration ever strikes.

I'm not really a fan of overly kinky stuff that is, say, explicit/specific (e.g. BDSM), but I don't mind stuff that is vaguely/lightly kinky (i.e. I tend to include voyeurism in my stories, but it's generally accidental). I mostly write either very horny or emotional, intimate stuff - I'm a sucker for the feelings associated with the couple.

It honestly depends on what kind of story I'm writing! But as of recent, I've been mostly producing first-time, emotion-heavy smut with a good serving of horniness/wantonness to build up the tension.

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

I've written two - Broken-Hearted and Fobwatched (if you've been waiting for an update, I promise I think of her often... I'll revive her one day). I'd say BH is crazier, as it does entwine itself with the Human Nature storyline from Doctor Who, but Fobwatched has also had some pretty wacky moments!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge, and I really hope not! I have, admittedly, been a bit fearful of it in recent months.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, not to my knowledge! But I'm always open to that conversation if people are interested.

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

Back when I wrote band/music fanfiction (please forgive me for my crimes), I had started drafting out a fic with someone, but it never went anywhere and we didn't communicate very well either :,)

However, I have been beta-ing the lovely @quite-right-too's fic Dona Nobis Pacem, which has been a lovely collaboration <3 I'm so proud of Cody's work and highly recommend you read it if you haven't!

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

It would probably be DoctorRose! I've never really been more enthralled with a ship before, and the fact that the special interest is still going strong three years on is a pretty good sign. I also tend to come back to Ellie and Alec from Broadchurch quite often.

In the past, I was a hardcore Reylo fan, and I've always enjoyed random, niche ships within my realm of interests (i.e. Evey and V from V For Vendetta; Jackson and Lisa from Red Eye; an array of ships from my horror movies because I love being delusional).

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

Look, I'm quite stubborn in my belief that, ultimately, I will finish all my drafts, but I can say that the drafts from when I first started writing Doctor Who fanfiction have been quite difficult to work on because my writing has changed so much since then!

There are also maybe a WIP or two that I have written purely for myself and will never publish. I will probably take these to my deathbed lol.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Hm, I've always been complimented for character accuracy, which I do think I have down pact - writing characters like Ten and Rose have gradually become more comfortable for me over the years and I feel like I know them quite well by this point, which is really surprising considering I've never done a proper rewatch of the show since finishing it aside from some scenes/particular episodes!

I've also always been very anal about detail in my stories - I love including the most unnecessary shit in my work!! Do you need to know what Rose had for breakfast? No. Are you gonna know anyway? YES!!! I just love making my stories feel as organic and lifelike as possible.

I've been working really hard on scenery recently, which I've been getting compliments on! I have aphantasia, so this is something I've put a lot of energy and focus into as I've come to realise it's pretty important for readers lol.

And, not to brag, but I do think I write some pretty banging smut. It's taken ten or so years of practice, but I got there in the end.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Eh, I feel I'm not super great at coming up with like... proper action/plot. Like I can do circumstances and events quite alright, but coming up with something like... say, escaping from a villain/bad situation, I've always felt pretty shit at accomplishing. However, I always try to improve.

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

I only speak English, so it's a bit daunting! But I just use Google Translate and consult others where possible. And, as Niyati has mentioned in her own post, I recently used her technique of writing from the non-speaker's perspective and it's been a welcome addition to my skills! Shout out, girlie <3

19. First fandom you wrote for?

It would've been 5SOS, but those fics are long gone - I deleted them from Wattpad, and the iPod that the original drafts are on doesn't work, unfortunately.

I also wrote about other bands that I listen to - Asking Alexandria, Of Mice & Men, You Me At Six, Pierce the Veil, and Bring Me The Horizon. I still have most of the drafts, but I deleted all but four of them from the internet lol (the ones that were deleted were unfinished works).

I don't write about these people anymore as I did come to realise, Wait a minute, it's kinda weird and gross to write about these people like this lol (no hate on anyone who does). But I'm always down to chat about my sordid past haha.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

I would have to say "Come, gentle night, come" as it's probably the most amount of effort I put into writing. I think it's my best smut and cherish it deeply!

BYF:

If you don't understand something on my DNI it most certainly doesn't apply to you <3

General DNI: Racists, queerphobes, ableists (including people who believe in narcissistic abuse, BPD abuse, and the like), zoos, radqueers, transx/transID (transrace*, transdisabled, etc), proshippers** and anti-antis, (NO)MAPs and other pedos, exclusionists of any kind, anti-kin, transandrophobes and transmisogynists, transmeds, anti-non traumagenic, fakeclaimers, fatphobes, "pro-lifers", pro ED/self-harm, cryptobros, nftbros, aibros, Harry Potter fans (i don't care if you "don't support JKR")

*not in the "kid adopted by parents of a different race" way, i do mean in the ""transitioning" to a different race than the one you are" way

**mostly for underage x adult and/or incest pairings, i'm more lenient on toxic or otherwise unhealthy pairings because they're just fun sometimes

For MCYT fans: I do not support cc!Dream, cc!George, cc!Sapnap, cc!Forever or cc!Wilbur - Stans and apologists DNI

For SW fans: Any flavor of Padawan x Master and clonecest shippers DNI

For LOTR, the Hobbit and Silmarillion fans: People who get mad about, or even just like, weirdly defensive against queer readings and headcanons DNI. i doubt you would have survived the rest of this post but. just in case. you don't even have to agree that blorbo from your book is queer, you just need to be normal about the idea that they could be. it's free and easy!

I'm not super strict with this one but I would prefer people under 15 to tread lightly; you can interact and follow, but yknow, treat me like you'd treat any adult stranger. No upper age limit though I don't care about that, love and light. The generational divide is a scam anyways.

In general I block liberally. You could pass my DNI but still fail the vibe check. Something something curating your online experience <3

favorite fictional characters? no need to order them, just ramble about your blorbos!

Alfred is always my MVP but also i was talking to a dude yesterday about like, Star Wars and Star Trek and I mentioned stargate and he was like the what and I just had the most powerful wave of 'they don't even have a teal'c.' Shrek meme like wow imagine not having a teal'c. Others on this list are Spock and Data in a very different way than Spock - spock is like a spiritual icon to me. Data was my boyfriend, emotionally, for a tough period of highschool. And is just. An Actual Friend To Me. Sherlock Holmes..... especially Brett's is brilliant but like. There's a reason I can recognie which story is being adapted and exactly how it goes within three minutes of adapted material most of the time, I read those stories so, many, times as a kid.

Tasslehoff burrfoot always has a place of honor no matter how much I grow up beyond DL because he's literally a funny little guy and nine year old me love him beyond life.

I would say I can't choose a star wars character but truly it's between Han and Threepio they're Just Like Me For real

This helped thank you :) wait I'm also adding Haplo he's been drifting in my brain a lot this week he's such a beloved guy to me. Like If Aragorn was lightly evil and a dog owner (masc) . And so sad and repressed. And loved his fucking DOG
