#i kinda like jojo in a ''i want to tear this series down and rewrite everything about it'' way if that makes sense

[shoechoe]

Jojo is a really frustrating series to be honest. As much as I like a lot about it, its style, and a lot of the concepts it explores, I also have to acknowledge that a lot of it is... well, really bad, both in the "poorly written" sense and (especially) in the "gross messaging" sense. As analysis is something I enjoy with media I do feel like a central part of me liking the series is also heavily, heavily criticizing it.

AO3 Questions

Tagged by @northernscruffycat

Uhhhh, I'll tag just @this-is-a-name-dont-worry, that’s the only constant writer I know probs.

God, the amount of cross-referencing I’ll have to do--

How many works do you have on AO3?

28 works

What’s your total AO3 word count?

116,006 words

How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

9, I'm counting the ones that overlap because :p, but that’s not counting the ones I haven’t posted... there’s a lot more.

Godspell - Schwartz

Bewitching

Pseudo-Asthma

Adrenaline Withdrawal

If Widows Lived

Lückenbüßer

Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yeah, not always. If you want me to not respond, tell me!! I’d rather know you like the fanfic and restrain myself than not know at all. If you’d like a response, you can tell me then, as well! 

What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Ooooo, for AO3?? I have to think about the perspectives... I am INDECISIVE.

Death/Allusions to Death:

The Daffodil's Echo - A twink fucking dies, I don’t know what to tell you, it’s Greek Mythology.

Fools Wish For Peace and Anticipatory Grief - Include sacrifice, blame for another’s death and survivors guilt - and I need to finish this series.

per què la mort? - Death is technically how it begins, more blame towards POV character for another’s death, denial, grief...

If we are going for feelings:

The Shocking Absence of Grief - This whole thing was like... a slow-burn drabble exploring grief; it ends on a sombre note.

Arachne - I was unwittingly brought to tears by this ending.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Nope.

Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I have... but I’m not likely to post it. There was a time where I just got into the motions and the things I was writing all devolved into smut after meaningful conversations. So like... emotional smut? Comfort smut? I don’t know what it would be called. Remember my post about prostitute Judas? That too. 

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge. 

Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but that would be rad.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes!! Only one (The Apostles), and it was mostly a self-imposed research project with my friend. They did the research, and I wrote the incorrect quotes and a short one-shot that I'll probably rewrite in the future.

What’s your all time favourite ship?

You know I can’t answer this question. Right now? Jedas. Lots of Judas ships really... and M&M from The Chosen. JonaEri?? Beautiful, they are darlings. Joseph Joestar with any Pillarman ioretuioruio.

What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

If Widows Lived, I love my babe, but it’s a Phantom Blood fix-it fic. How the hell do I end a PHANTOM BLOOD FIX-IT FIC. Especially when I do have stuff down for Battle Tendency after that. BUT HOW DO I APPROACH THE TIME SKIP??? (you can include all of my WIPs tbh)

What are your writing strengths?

Stream-of-consciousness and dialogue. It’s harder to add the meat to a scene when it’s dialogue heavy, it takes me a while. But if we’re just going thoughts? Neurons firing?? I got it in the bag.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

Like... when you don’t know the language? It can add personality, and in certain fandoms it’s kinda... required. *eyes TF2*  Please have a translation key at the end or just put the alt language words in English and use [brackets]. With a lot of unposted stuff I have, there is an aggressive use of Google Translate, I’d probably go back and use DeepL. My only posted fic with it is Lückenbüßer, and I had a German-speaking friend assist me. 

What was the first fandom you ever wrote for?

Y’all know I’d never be able to remember. I’ve been writing fanfiction since I was teeny. On AO3 though, The Daffodil's Echo was written before my technical first fic and it’s Greek Mythology.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve ever written?

How do do expect me to CHOSE?? ESPECIALLY WITH UNFINISHED AND UNPOSTED FICS?? Imma... list ones I’m especially proud of? That represent my writing style? And that I haven’t mentioned yet, ya know, for a quick plug.

Ophiuchus (really all of the On the Borderline series, displays my rewriting skills, I have a thing with fixing source material)

Join Our Erina Cult (a chatfic, fun back-and-forth dialogue)

Despite My Better Nature (hurt and comfort <333 between a troubled child and a well-adjusted adult )

just a couple of judes being gay- (shameless plug, I want y’all to read my Dudeciples shit, it’s gay, and I worked hard)
