20 Questions for Fic Writers

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

8 💪

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

105,963

3. What fandoms do you write for?

miraculous ladybug<3

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

this question is great bc nearly all of my 8 fics make it in👍

golden (like daylight)

call it even

at our wedding

circles & cycles (right back where you started)

no other shade of blue, but you

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

sometimes!! I try to!!! not as often as i wish i did :( I was pretty consistently replying on call it even for a while but then i fell behind and it got overwhelming😭 there are so many lovely ones I go back and reread all the time though!!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

no other shade of blue but you maybe? not sure if it counts as angsty it's very short and ends with marinette just being sort of sad and wistful. i'm not built for angsty endings<3

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

probably golden (like daylight)! that's definitely the one i'm proudest of at least.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

no not really!!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

No👍

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

haha not yet but i've had an anastasia inspired fic in the works for soo long. one day i'll dust it off and finish

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

AHAHA YES I co-wrote call it even with my sister @sha-nwa!!! one of the most fun experiences of my life, abby's such an incredible writer and she did marinette so much justice.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

lovesquare (shocking)

15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

i have tooons of wips in my google docs but i am wary of posting anything on ao3 that’s not a one shot/something i’m sure i’ll finish. one i think might be lost to time is my ladrien greek mythology wip💔

16. What are your writing strengths?

a lot of comments I get are related to prose/description so maybe that? I tend to spend a lot of time trying to pick out the exact right words for each sentence so that it has the sonic/rhythmic quality i'm going for. golden is probably the best example of this; I worked and reworked those sentences for many months until I was satisfied haha. I remember wanting it to feel sort of like the building of a song

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

my writing can be sort of dense and hard to get through sometimes!! I think I have a tendency to try and pack a lot into every sentence, which is fun for me to write, but can be difficult to get through as a reader. it's sort of the polar opposite to how I approach drawing silly comics, where the goal is to deliver the point/joke as clearly and effectively as possible. writing puts me in a much more contemplative headspace, which makes my fic not quite as digestable I think

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I admit i am guilty of peppering in random french words in ml fic whenever I feel like it 💔 I usually use italics though

19. First fandom you wrote for?

dear evan hansen I think? (<-I was a very specific type of annoying in high school)

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

have to give it to my og adrien essay golden (like daylight). it has all my favorite stuff. adrinette. what could loosely be called a plot. the word "something." I said what I needed to say

tagging anyone who wants to!!

What I'm Working On...

tagged by @nopantsfriday

i came home from work to this, smh

rules: list all the things you’re currently working on in as much or little detail as you’d like, then tag some friends to see what they’re working on. this can be writing, art, vids, gifsets, whatever…

artwork

School Work

• Fairytale Inspired Pieces: this is pretty self explanatory in all honesty, but for the sake of not leaving the explanation blank..

our college requires us to finish a certain number of portfolio pieces. the first set (made up of five works) is supposed to be based on already existing fairytales. or rather that’s the theme i chose

so far i’ve only started two of them: Beauty & the Beast and The Steadfast Tin Soldier

• Background Illustrations: again, pretty self explanatory

like i mentioned, we have to do a couple sets of portfolio pieces. so another set of five is planned to be backgrounds

i’ve posted the one finished piece from this set here already. however, if you read the post, there’s mentions of this particular one being for a specific class (that’s because it was). i was able to kill two birds with one stone with it

the class that required that for an assignment had us do various thumbnails (which you can also find posted on this blog), and the rest of the backgrounds are going to be based off the remaining ones

Personal Work

• Only Us - Dear Evan Hansen Animatic: had the urge to do an animatic recently as a side project, though lord knows i have no time for that

so, not entirely sure if i’ve made it common knowledge on this art blog of mine, but i’m some serious InuYasha trash.. and lately, i’ve been listening to the DEH soundtrack a lot and found a song that fits the main canon couple really well

it was mostly just a Sudden Need™ type of urge and i went with it and ended up planning half of it out on paper out of the blue….so here…..we are…..

• OCs: so i constantly have oc art i’m working on. i just tend to jump from piece to piece and never finish anything

• King & Lionheart - Of Monsters & Men Animatic: speaking of OC related projects!!

no one tell fran, but……..i’ve been in the works of trying to figure out how to set up an OC ship animatic for her to this song because she heavily associates a certain pairing with it

in all honesty, this was intended to be her birthday gift but there’s no way i’m going to be anywhere near close to finishing it in less than a month….

writing

OC Fic: i write spontaneous ficlets for ocs sometimes. mostly angst because i hate myself dearly and want to Suffer™

there’s nothing new being written currently, but i need to go back and heavily edit some of the ones i have just sitting in my phone

tagging no one in particular but hey!!! if you get the urge to do this because you saw this post… be free to @ me, lol

[alright-anakin]

I agree with this so much. I'm working on a super angsty fic where Luke and Leia time-travel to save Anakin and the whole galaxy. And I wanted Leia's personality being similar to Anakin's to be a point of conflict in the story. First, I have never read a fic where Leia time travels. It's always Luke. So I wanted to see how she would do it.

Leia's relationship with Anakin is something I wanted to explore. I think she would find it harder to see past Vader. To her, Anakin is Vader, even if he hasn't fallen yet. She is not hopeful that they will succeed so she distances herself from both her parents in the hopes of not getting attached (to Padme) and not losing her temper (at Anakin). Luke is ready to forgive. Leia, while making a conscious effort to control her anger at Vader, and by extension, Anakin, still struggles to even be in the same room as him. And when they inevitably get alone, things come to a head.

Leia will make her pain known to him. There will be screaming. Maybe shedding of tears. There will be accusations. She will make him accountable for his actions. Not of Vader's actions (because he hasn't become Vader yet) but of all the times he acted on anger. All the times he let the darkness in.

But this is where she will forgive him too. This post (Only Us from Dear Evan Hansen) explains better Leia's eventual understanding, or rather, her desire to try to understand.

This fic doesn't have a title yet and is still being worked on. I have 2 chapters. It is the fic I will work on 3rd on my list of current fics. I am writing it at work when I'm bored haha (hence the angst)

Once I finish Will of the Force and publish it, I will focus on Love for the Chosen One. Then I guess it will be a race to see which one is finished first haha. Because technically my time travel fic has more chapters than Love for the Chosen One. But that's because im writing it at work.

Would you say Luke is more of a mama's boy and Leia is daddy's little girl?

I feel like that simplifies those relationships too much. I think Luke is more like Padme and Leia is more like Anakin, but I think each relationship is different.

I think Leia, for instance, is much more protective of each of their parents because of all the two of them have been through, while Luke tends to look to them for guidance more than Leia does.

Luke does a bit of idealization of Anakin, while Leia idolizes Padme quite a bit.

They're just different relationships. :)
