ff ask! 2, 6, 14

2. Which of your own fanfics have you reread the most? 

I DON’T KNOW, SO IM JUST GONNA YELL FOR A SEC. WHAT IS THIS CONSPIRACY OF PPL ‘KNOWING’ AND/OR ‘REMEMBERING’ THINGS ABOUT THEIR OWN LIFE???? SOUNDS MADE UP TO MEEEE

i honestly couldnt even begin to guess, but i randomly made a case for it being one of them but then was like nah probs not yknow, n the reasoning seemed vaguely compelling till i changed my mind. 

but one more reason i forgot abt: if i ever start getting in my head abt kudos or stats or w/e, i think i’m more likely to read one of mine that doesnt have a lot of numbers cos it’s a good reminder that popularity and quality are not nec. the same thing

(i mean if you ignore anon kudosbombing inflation, typically my multichapters got relatively loads of kudos and my ‘shots not so much, which feels fairly logical. but going from a trend of writing multichapters to writing mostly one shots (and probs also writing weirder things...?) it was a bit like Whoa. and then i got all chill abt it but then the anon kudosbombing rewired all my stats and i was like... What. i think im chill abt it again now, but yea especially cos my stories with the least (fewest?) kudos are pretty short anyway, if i start going mad, i think it’s good to reread one of them and be like: well *I* really like this, and i think it’s better written than (at least some of) my stories that have a load of kudos soooo who cares!)

6. Name three stories you found easy to write.

so this i have answered but three more i’d put on the easierish side:

iv. Even the best laid plans: idk, it fell out of me pretty fast and it was a lot of fun to write! it’s a fairly silly conceit that i clearly came up with when i was very stoned, and i had the bare bones of it in my head when i started but not a super concrete plan, and i was pretty happy with how i pulled it all together. (much less stressful than my first multi-chapter fic which was intended to be a one-shot that ended up spiralling and i was like IDK WHAT IM DOING HELP.) 

also it was the first time i wrote rio pov, and it was kinda based on the idea that s2 from his perspective must be absolutely bananas (WHO JUST HAS A SPARE BODY LYING AROUND TO ‘ACCIDENTALLY’ THROW AWAY??? WHO DOESNT ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT???), and writing him as crankily long-suffering just sighing around all the time like NO ONE EVER LISTENS TO ME IT’S SO HARD BEING RIGHT ALL THE TIME was hilarious and...big relatable, haha. also it starts v silly but i kiiiiinda knew where it’d probs end up so it was quite fun sneak seriousing things

v. Uncontrollable notes, from her snowy white throat: this was my second one shot, after 3 multi-chaps in a row, so it was comparatively easy! also the first time i had the GENIUS idea of being like: fuckit, this is set in the FUTURE where they’ve sorted their shit out a bit. NO NEED FOR THE JOURNEY. LOOK AT THIS AMAZING IDEA I JUST INVENTED GUYS. also once it was written up and i was editing, i was hmming and hawing cos i was like ah, idk if i like the shape of it (first section is heavy set up n has a lot of anecdotes, then the sections get shorter n shorter) n then i was like FUCK IT I LIKE IT WHO CARES POOOOOST. and i still really like it, so good decision me

vi. Through the park and by the tree: this is a sequel (to People can be so cold, which is a fairly sweet, romcomish story). i was absolutely not planning to write a sequel!!! i was and still am v resistant to that!!! (partly cos that first accidental multichapter Spiralled, i guess.) n there were several comments on People can be so cold that were like ‘more!’, n i was like NO FUCK YOU. but THEN i was like...oh no... i know what happens next...shit. BUT i didnt really wanna write abt beth n rio hanging out with her boring kids, n i didnt really have the whole story of the next bit, i just knew it involved annie n rio glaring at each other n then ganging up on beth ha ha. but THEN i was like ok...so PCBSC was largely abt annie accusing beth of being bffs with rio... what if the next thing was abt rio and annie (and ruby) being friends (also a lil lil bit beth n stan being bffs BC THEY ARE) n then it was actually pretty easy to write as beth’s outsider perspective on annie and rio’s friendship

14. You’re applying for the fanfic writer of the year award. What five fanfics do you put in your portfolio? 

ok, i did this for 2020, but apparently 2019 was also a ‘year’, so...

this is very easy, im gonna cheat as i did with 2020 and count the two stories in a series as one, then cut out the first two stories so by a process of elimination as much as anything, it’d be:

Even the best laid plans

Bringing down the neighbourhood

Uncontrollable notes, from her snowy white throat

Are you afraid or is it true

What a sight to see

not sure that’s quite on the 2020 level of mood whiplash but it’s close ha ha

it’s so sunny i can’t see what i’m doin
