ANGE!!! AHHHH!!! thank you!!! <3 you know i always appreciate lil asks from u and from everyone, honestly, so so much!!! thank you so much!!! :) AND AHAHAHA YES YOU DO

🏅 What comes first to you - character, setting or plot? 

Character! For me it is almost always character. In my experience, if I don’t have a set main character at least in mind, I don’t get anywhere :( My main character dictates the entire story, so characters are usually always almost the first thought in my mind. Characters like Charlotte, Hazel and Natia were ALL first steps in my process of writing my Band of Brothers fics. I know it is different for others, but for me the character is always the first thought in my mind for any sort of fic! 

For me, creating a character first or an OC, helps you be able to develop it without having to follow a specific story line, as someone like me, who had trouble staying super planned out and stuff - ie distraction is my too close friend in this part LOL. So, having a character first lets me be able to really develop them, plan them out, make them who they were, and then begin to really dig into the story, fitting them in where I know they just f i t - if that makes sense!!

📋What are your favourite and least favourite tropes? 

FRIENDS TO LOVERS

FRIENDS TO LOVERS

But I also vibe with mutual pining, hurt/comfort, fluff and slow burn :) 

But friends to lovers is my all time number 1!! Literally the one of the reasons I wrote The Soldier of Stars was to write the best friends to lovers trope and I literally loved writing the entire process of strangers - acquaintances - friends - best friends - lovers; just that entire sequence of writing that trope just AGH I love it more than anything in my whole heart, I could truly go off LOL 

It’s just always been my favorite trope, I think it’s adorable :)

[ineverhadmyinternetphase]

Oh gosh I love all ur fics so much! I guess I'll randomly pick from my favorite ones! 1) in my way (6,14) 2)Let me down gently(agh nostalgic pheels. I can't count the times I've reread ur works n this one is no exception. 1,2,3,4,9). 3)A familiar kind of love( my absolute fav like in all phanfics ever to exist. 5,6,11,12,13) sending all my love boo! I read about u being I'll and I hope u get better. P.s. charolette is lovely give her a hug from me. U 2 deserve to find happiness

(Some of this is under a cut to save your dashes xD)

Thank you so much!! I’m so glad you enjoy my fics, literally that is so lovely to hear ^_^ Thank you for your well-wishes about my health and also Charlotte, I’m sitting next to her rn cuddling so things are pretty great

Now onto your questions!

In My Way (link here):

6. What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics? 

Hmm, good question. It’s the first one where I really decided to put some of myself into it - to write characters that I could relate to, not just situations I found adorable. It was a brave step for me because I felt lonely (as an ace not knowing any other aces at the time) and I just wanted to read about someone like me for once.

And then it sparked this whole community of ace people, so that worked out pretty well xD

14: Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic? 

I didn’t set out to teach anyone anything through this fic - but I did want to explore sexuality, particular asexuality (and bisexuality too, but I haven’t quite got to that bit properly yet xD). I’ve since received a lot of mesages from people saying they learned about their own sexuality through reading my fic, and other people saying they aren’t ace but understand it much better now, and that honestly blows me away

Let Me Down Gently (link here):

1. What inspired you to write the fic this way? 

I’m not sure really, I just had this very vivid scene in my head of Dan and Phil meeting in a bus stop in the rain. And then I really wanted to write an AU where one of them was in an already established relationship, but without any cheating, and it kind of grew from there xD

OH and also I was watching a lot of Four In A Bed, which is a show where B&B owners go to each other’s places and rate each other. And I just thought, hey, this would be a great AU for Phil because I like to imagine he loves putting people up and making sure they have enough blankets etc.

2. What scene did you first put down? 

The first one, I always write in chronological order

3. What’s your favorite line of narration? 

This is tough as I actually don’t like my narration very much, I don’t think I’m any good at description at all and I rely very heavily on my dialogue. Buuuut my favourite is probably this, because the plants make me laugh:

Approaching the door with trepidation, Dan eyed the various plants that decorated the porch warily. A plant of sorts - a tall thing that looked a bit like a miniature palm tree - was waving its fronds at him, and Dan couldn’t tell whether it was being friendly or angry. Maybe he was being told      ‘Get off my land!’     in plant speak.

4. What’s your favorite line of dialogue? 

Already answered this, but it’s the part where Phil describes his relationships using plant analogies. Especially this line:

You turn up, and you��re like this wild honeysuckle. You’re messy and expensive and I’m never quite sure it’s worth the money, and you climb up the walls and get in the way of everything and infiltrate yourself completely, but then you flower and you have the most amazing scent and suddenly there’s colour and bees are coming and butterflies are hovering everywhere and – and I’m still sitting in the shrub.

9. Were there any alternate versions of this fic? 

Not really, actually. I’m quite a meticulous planner, and this was a Big Bang fic which meant I had to produce the full outline quite early on. So there weren’t really any other versions that came about, sorry about that xD

A Familiar Kind of Love (link here):

(Note: this was cowritten with Elizajane (@snowbunnylester) so this is just my opinions of it, hers may differ in some aspects ^_^)

5. What part was hardest to write? 

For me, the bit where Dan rejects Phil. I wrote Dan in this fic (Elizajane wrote Phil) and it was so emotional to write about Dan shouting at Phil and being mad and upset, when I as the author knew Phil was only doing his best

The resolution of that was probably my favourite bit to write though :D

6. What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics? 

A couple of things. It’s straight-up fantasy, which I love and is my favourite genre/the genre I write in when I’m not writing fic, so that was really fun and different to most of my other stuff. Also, it was my first published cowritten fic, and the first time I explored aro themes in depth as well as ace themes.

11. What do you like best about this fic? 

Ahhh tough question! But I think the dynamic between familiars and witches that we invented, and the world we built up together. I can in no way take solo credit for this though, a lot was down to the wonderful imagination of Elizajane

(Also Dan’s bookshelf. I want to read his books)

12. What do you like least about this fic? 

When Dan rejects Phil. It hurt to write

13. What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading? 

Ok this is literally the one fic I don’t have music for xD I literally write to music all the time, but this one was RPing with Elizajane over email so half the time I was bouncing off what she wrote rather than creating an atompshere from the music I was listening to. But there is one song that I think really explores the ace/aro themes I explored through the character of Dan, and that’s Please don’t say you love me by Gabrielle Aplin

Thanks for all those questions, and have a lovely day, lovely anon!
