Thank you @suchagallabitch for tagging me to do this Fic Writer Interview!

(I also did some picrews at the bottom)

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

34

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

127,463

3. What are your top five fics by Kudos?

My top three are all three of the shameless fics that I have written, 4th and 5th are fics from another fandom.

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

I try to! Sometimes there's only so many ways I can say 'thank you' to someone so I won't respond to every single one, but I definitely read all of them.

5. What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

I would say all three of my shameless fics have happy endings, allthough shut the door and let go is very bittersweet when you know what happens next in canon.

If we're talking non-shameless fics, I did write mcd in my other fandom (nothing too crazy) and you can find that fic here.

6. What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

When all is said and done definitely has the happiest ending if we're talking about the context of all three of these fics. Most of my other fics have pretty happy endings as well.

7. Do you write crossovers?

No. Not my thing.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not necessarily hate, but I have received some weird comments in the past.

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

Yep! I never used to so you won't find it in any of my old fics, but all three of my shameless fics have smut in them so.....character development. 😂

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but that would be cool!

12. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

I've cowritten several fics with my girlfriend! My favourite of ours that we did is for the rest of our lives. Not a shameless fic, but I'm still proud of it.

13. What's your all time favourite ship?

I'm about to betray my branding here, but just because of how much time I spent in that fandom and how hard I was hyperfixating (and still am, let's be honest) it still has to be Dan and Phil.

If you have problems with that I don't want to hear it I've already heard it all and I'm tired okay thank you.

14. What's a WIP you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

I had planned out a whole chaptered fic to write and then completely fell off for months after getting overwhelmed. I still really love the idea but the task was a little too much for me and I just don't think I have chaptered-fic writing in me anymore.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I'm really good at coming up with different ideas. I also really love going into detail and trying to describe everything I see in my mind. I can see my fics play like movies in my brain, so sometimes it's a little overwhelming trying to get it all into words.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Transitions. The less a scene has going on in it, the harder it is to write. I also suck at time management, and consistency in general.

Cries in haven't posted since March.

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

It's cool. Haven't done it myself, wouldn't be opposed to it though.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

It was very small and hasn't been relevant for years so I'm just gonna go with the first fandom I actually published anything for, which again, was Dan and Phil.

19. What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

I breifly considered heartstopper (shortest hyperfixation of my life) but I'm kind of already over the obsessive stage. The fandom is fucking awful anyway.

I also considered arcane but I would have to go full on AU (which isn't a strength of mine) because I don't know nearly enough about that universe to write anything canon compliant. I also just didn't really get to the point of actually wanting to write something for it.

20. What's your favourite fic you've written?

Out of my shamless fics: lover, please stay

Out of my other fics: unequivocally yours

Tag 2: Thank you @grumpymickmilk and @vintagelacerosette for tagging me to do this picrew! I did this picrew as well even though I don't think anyone tagged me, I just really liked it.

I'm tagging @sunoficarus @gallawitchxx @heymrspatel @auds-and-evens @traenawrites @squidyyy23 and @sleepyfacetoughguy to do either the questions, the picrews or both!
