Asks ~ 20 & 38

Fanfiction Writer Asks

20. Are there any stories that you wished you'd ended differently?

Not really? I like how everything I've posted that has an ending has ended so far. I maybe would have done more with "I'll Take Care of You" if I hadn't made the decision to only have as many chapters as parts for the full quote but I like the follow up series quite a bit.

38. If you could collab with any other writer on here, who would it be?

It's kind of a tie.

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig fan of Emry from emry-stars-art I gush to her a lot about her Royal AU because I'm so in love with what she's put out about it.

Also a huge fan of Fortheloveofexy's writing since they were one of the first writers that really got me into AFTG and it's only gotten better the more I got into the fandom.

Fic Writer Interview

thank you so much @the-lincyclopedia!! i’ve never done one of these i’m excited

Name: birl!

Fandoms: i write for check please and aftg. there are a lot of other fandoms where i’ve like..... been involved with the source material (that was so horribly phrased sfjsghjldfsgh) but i’m not active in the fandom? OH and it’s been a while since i’ve written anything for sharp zero but that too!!

Where you post: ao3, and i sometimes cross-post here if it’s short. in the interest of transparency, i did post on wattpad a while ago (like, middle school), but i don’t even remember my username now sfjshgf

Most popular one-shot: if we’re doing this by hits, then it’s for the better, which is a coming out fic in my zimbits airport AU series (wow THAT’S a throwback, it has been a while since i wrote that). there are many other metrics to measure which is most popular so i’m gonna leave it at hits for now!

Most popular multi-chapter: and then i met you (and the whole world changed), the first fic in the zimbits airport AU! (and coincidentally, the only one that actually features an airport)

(my zimbits airport AU is without a doubt the most popular thing i’ve ever written, so it makes up 4/5 of my top 5 fics on ao3)

Fic you were nervous to post: definitely windup! that’s the longest fanfiction i’ve ever written and the first (and only iirc) longfic in the sharp zero tag so i felt SUPER insecure about the characterization. not to mention, it’s an AU that takes a pretty sharp turn from the comic, so there was a lot of uncharted territory there for me

How you choose your titles: crying (but in all seriousness i do it by vibes. if i can come up with a title really fast, that’s a good sign that my fic is very focused and i really know what it’s about)

Do you outline: no lmao. literally never for short fics, and for long fics (and original stuff) i tend to write whatever i feel like, stick it roughly in order, and then rewrite/heavily edit until it works. so i guess i just... outline by writing?

Do you take prompts: very on and off, but more off than on lately. i usually have very specific vibes i want to write and given that i don’t think any of my followers are psychic, it’s hard for people to send me prompts that i’m actually in the mood to write. also, recently i’ve shifted a lot more towards longer works so i’m not writing many one-shots anyway

Complete: 65 fics on ao3 (i have a lot of incomplete series, but that’s because i don’t mark them complete unless i’m sure there’s nothing else i want to add ever)

In Progress: 2 fics on ao3 (i have one fic i’ve abandoned bc i just kinda got bored with the show it’s based on), 1 fic i’m planning to write, and so... SO many on my computer. but if we’re talking things i’m actively working on, it’s Pie and Prejudice (check please x pride and prejudice fusion), plus two fics for AFTG. plus a second novel but that’s not fic (it is taking up a lot of my time though)

oh boy um i’ll tag @b1ttle @thehibiscusthief @omgchyeahplease and whoever else wants to do it!

fic writer interview

i was tagged by @lemurious thank you :D

name: im stormwarnings on tumblr/ao3

fandoms: all for the game, tolkien (silm and lotr), and got dragged back into supernatural kicking and screaming

where you post: mostly ao3, but i put stuff thats less polished on tumblr too

most popular one-shot: doubt thou the stars be fire, my aftg fall exchange fic! its not my best, but i guess people like it which makes me happy

most popular multi-chap: black, the night that ends at last which was actually the first fic i ever wrote. i think its alright - i think my writing has definitely improved a lot since i started it in april. im glad people like it though, and its a wip but itll get finished someday :)

favorite story youve written so far: either my silm ‘fix-it’ bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh or my legolas/gimli orpheus and eurydice retelling we raise our cups

fic you were nervous to post: probably black, the night that ends at last because it deals with things pretty close to my heart, and also - first fic ever lmao

how do you choose your titles: music? random phrases that float into my head? a line of poetry thats just chilling? absolutely no clue its random

do you outline: lmao sometimes not frequently tho, id definitely benefit from doing so and maybe id have less wips but then again im bad at finishing stuff so probably not

complete: im not gonna leave any of my stories incomplete - ill finish them eventually. rn 19/23 fics on my ao3 are finished

in progress: ahaha ive got 4 fics according to ao3 that are incomplete - black (aftg longfic), see your face wasn’t quite as i remember (lotr era eldritchyness and sibling vibes), bone of my bone (silm fix it), and people like us (silm modern au with crime families). once i finish bone of my bone, i intend to add more stories to the 'verse (like the dawn) including ones centered around characters, and a chapter fic centered around the line of elu thingol and doriath. plus, ive still got a few more characters to go in my eldritch peredhil series, whatever we call beautiful, we quiver before it

coming soon/not started yet: my aftg rbb fic, which im super excited tho slightly stymied by! plus my tss fic, which is almost done, but after that i intend to update some of my wips. im also writing a genderbent spn au bc im gay and love girls and terrifying angels

prompts: sure go wild i enjoy writing short things for other people when i can muster the productivity

upcoming work youre most excited about: the dang supernatural fic how did i get here i swore id never go back - but also seriously hyped to write more of my silm fix it whenever i manage to get around to it

i tag: uhh i dont actually know who hasnt been tagged? @thatfeanorian, @withfantasticgarlands, @xirinofarvada, and anyone else who wants to
