#i recently also wanted to shorten the au name for my docs

I need help deciding

So I am currently in chapter 7 (yay!) of the AU and am at chapter 38 in-canon.

Daryun and Azar are going at each other verbally and I can't decide what Azar should say next! I have two options!

Daryun asked if they should just not fight the Lusitanians when incountered. It is the moment where he also is very unhappy with Bahman being so passive. Azar had offered a new option. This is before Bahman gets angry.

Fic Writer Interview

Thank you for the tag, @noire-pandora =)

Name: Nug-juggler here, which I’ve been told some people shorten to “Nuggler” in their minds which is kind of cute, others call me Doc, Viscariafields on Ao3

Fandoms: Mostly Dragon Age, but I’ve written a few for Mass Effect (and I intend to write more), and two one-shots for Horizon Zero Dawn. 

Where you post: Here and on AO3

Most Popular One-shot:  On Tumblr? Swept, which is a very brief and fluffy FenHawke story inspired by Varric’s “who swept who off their feet?” line. On AO3, it’s First Contact, a different version of Shepard and Garrus’s first time, and mostly 7k words of banter (sexy and otherwise). 

Most Popular Multichap: That honor I think will always belong to Quantum Veil Theory, which recently passed 400 kudos (!!). It’s a Solavellan modern AU stuffed full of tropes and silliness. 

Favorite story you’ve written so far: Ahhh this one is hard. Probably A Hawke’s Breakfast, where Hawke wakes up to find she is her own mabari. Really stupid crackfic is my jam. 

Fic you were nervous to post: Serenity. Well, sort of. I have been writing it so slowly that some parts have been edited repeatedly and some parts are new, but I felt that some of my best writing was in there. And honestly, I’ve realized it’s a lot harder emotionally to post something I think is good than it is to post something I think is fun, if that makes any sense. 

How do you choose your titles: Poorly? I noticed some time back that all my FenHawke fics were just one word, so I’ve kept that up. The Bethistair fics are lines from a specific song, and you’d think I’d be running out but I’m not. A few, like A Hawke’s Breakfast and Take a Chant on Me are puns. I desperately wanted Quantum Veil Theory to be a pun, but never figured it out. 

Do you outline: Yes, but not successfully. Since I like to write out of order, I’ve started using Word’s “heading” function so I can easily skip back and forth between sections. It also allows me to place a new section even if it’s not really developed yet. So that’s the closest thing to an outline I have going these days. 

Complete: Hm. I’ve got 54 works on AO3 and I think 4 are WIPs. So 50 completed works. Man, that is so many. Should I get more hobbies?

In progress: I have 4 WIPs up on AO3, but I’m actually currently working on two of them (Serenity and  The Silence of Your Deep), plus two more WIPs that are not posted at all. 

Prompts?: I take prompts. I really enjoy prompts! I have a tag, prompt list, and I’m always happy to receive something. Although, if it’s a pairing I really don’t see, I might not answer it. 

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: Currently titled “Long and Lonesome” (but I already know I’m changing that), I have a Bethistair fic in which Alistair is left in the Fade and Hawke goes to tell Bethany he’s gone. 

Worlds I would love to write for in the future:  I would like to write some Dorian x Varric. I’m currently playing the Outer Worlds, and I think this game doesn’t have any romance? Which is a shame because I’m already in love with some characters (although given the nature of the game, I’m prepared for some backstabbing/opportunistic attempted murder/etc etc). So maybe I’ll feel inspired there. But once the remaster of Mass Effect comes out, I look forward to clowning my way back into that fandom.
