3. what work are you most proud of? "came in the game," hands down, because i used to think i couldn't write long fics, and i did it when i thought i had nothing creative or worthwhile in me. (on the job market, dissertation defense, post-grad ptsd) also it's a rarepair in a fandom that largely ignores anything beyond Thee Main Ship.

27. what do you listen to while writing? whatever album is the current earworm.

29. favorite line/passage you wrote this year? impossible to pick just one. i think i'm hilarious. that being said, this passage from a wereverse WIP continues to make me laugh:

As he’s learned since grad school, third-wave coffee shops are the place to score. Overpriced weed, freaky sex, the occasional cigarette. Ain’t nobody got repression and a dependence on semi-legal substances like a dude who can taste whether his coffee is French pressed or a pour-over. It’s more effort than at a club, sure, convincing some guy you just met that he’s into men and also wants to take you home and let you fuck him nasty, but Cori pulls it off with aplomb. Call him the patron saint of bisexual realization or whatever the fuck. At any rate, he manages to find a PhD student in biochem who is more than happy to swap hours in the lab for an hour exploring his newfound attraction to blondes.

30. biggest surprise while writing this year? that these WIPs just keep getting longer.
