#i guess i should've come up with the genre before writing the chapter

[bookwormscififan]

Do I want to make the vampire AU a horror story

Or do I want it to be fluff?

I'll think about this as I write the second chapter. As it stands, this second chapter is one I don't like already and will therefore have to rewrite

Tumblr Writers Q&A

Thank you very much for the tag @scorpio-marionette I love answering questions!!!!

1) How many complete fics/one shots do you have that you have not published (yet)?

None. I publish as I end each chapter, so there's never a completed work just sitting in my folders hahah

2) How many WIPS do you have right now?

One. It should've come out over a week ago but I had a few problems and wasn't able to finish it yet.

3) Do you take writing requests or write original ideas, or both?

Both. Though I very rarely get any requests :,)

4) If you do take requests, how many do you currently have?

None :,)

5) How many fandoms do you write for?

Right now I only have works for The Mandalorian. But I write for the Star Wars fandom in general and Devil May Cry.

6) Are there any fandoms you wrote for in the past that you no longer write for?

I've written for Marvel, and I plan on getting back to it once I'm able to settle things in my life and catch up with the movies and series.

Though I haven't written fics for them, I've done ships/pairings for Vikings and Harry Potter.

7) Do you write for ships, reader inserts or other?

Reader inserts

8) Niche fandoms/characters you write for?

No. I want to write for Frankie "Catfish" Morales but I don't know if it's niche????? I also need to watch the movie first lol

9) Do you read fics as well as write them?

Absolutely. I read much more than I write.

10) What is your favorite genre to write for?

I love to write fluff, but I enjoy writing for any genre as long as I have a clear, consistent idea in my head. So I can't really say I have a favorite.

11) What is your favorite trope (to read/write)?

It depends on the fandom hahahah but in general I love reading Mafia AUs, and anything that's "xxxx" to Lovers, specially friends to lovers.

12) What do you do to get motivated to write?

There's nothing that can motivate me to write. If I am inspired, then I can write. But "forcing" myself to do it just doesn't happen, no matter how hard I try or want.

13) Is there a trope/genre you like to read, but not write?

Anything that involves "problem - solution". I'm very good at creating a problem, but I suck at resolving them

14) Any characters/fandoms you want to write for that are never requested?

All of them. As I said before I never get requests.

15) How long have you been writing fanfiction?

OOF! Hard question. Officially, 6-7 years, although I had a long period of hiatus. But I used to write to myself before that, so...

16) Did you read fanfiction before you started writing?

Absolutely. It was fanfiction that inspired me to write fanfiction.

17) Do you only post on Tumblr, or any other sites as well?

I post on Ao3 too! But not all of the works that are here are also there. I only post on Ao3 the works I consider to be my best.

18) What do you personally consider the word counts of “Drabble”, “One shots” and “fics”?

Around 600 for drabbles, 700 to 1k for one shots, and whatever is above 1k is a fic

19) Which do you prefer to write more? HC, drabbles, oneshots/fics, multi chapter stories, other?

As I mentioned before, I don't have a favorite. If it comes up to me and I think it's a great idea, I'll happily write it whatever is the word/chapter count.

20) Are there any stories you have discontinued? If so, why?

Yes. Firstly, time. I was in school/college and it was hard to keep both things up and going. Second, lack of readers/interactions. I've always wanted to be a big fanfic writer, but I never got the feedback. I guess I'm just unlucky.

21) What is one of your main “pet-peeves” as a writer on Tumblr?

I wish readers would reblog more rather than just like. Reblogs help your favorite writers get more views, and it motivates us to continue.

22) Do you write at a particular time of day?

No, I write when I'm inspired and, most importantly, have the time and know I won't be bothered.

23) Do you listen to music, ambiance/noise, etc. to write or do you need silence?

I listen to music but it has to be instrumental. Preferably wearing headphones to block any other background noise.

24) Do you outline your fics at all before writing?

No, I keep it all in my mind lol. But I did for "It's All Coming Back to Waves". It's an important work for me

25) Do you post your writing as soon as you finish it, or do you schedule it to come out at a specific time/day?

Sometimes I end up writing until too late in the morning and feel absolutely tired to read proof and post it, so I leave to the next day. But I like to post as soon as I finish. Oh, I'm also physically unable to post them without proof reading first
