20 questions for writers!

I was tagged by @triggerlil , who i thank very much, cause they always tag me in interesting posts and fun games! This seems like a lot of fun and I actually might go back and think about my work haha.

I also got tagged by @counting0nit , which signifies how long this has been sitting in my drafts, but istg it's been so hard for me to answer all these questions. But thank you so much for the tag too!! I tried my best ;)

1. how many works do you have on ao3?

I have 16 works on my account

2. what's your total ao3 word count?

24 712 words

3. what fandoms do you write for?

Right now for Masters of the Air, but i wrote a lot for One piece (live action) and i did one fic for Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

4. top 5 fics by kudos?

Destroy myself just for you

When you know, you know

Stay with me (in every lifetime)

Can you touch the moon?

Breathe, baby

These are all my op Zolu fics (except the last one), so if you want to check some mota buck and bucky fics up, here it is ;)

5. do you respond to comments?

Yes!! Comments make me the happiest and mean the world to me.

6. what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

It has to be I know it's over and it never really began. I think just the prompt "i love you" ... "it'll pass" is extremely angsty. But at the end, i really tried to delve into the depth of their relationship and how maybe it wasn't so healthy after all. It was so fun writing that fic, cause I've never looked at their love in that light. And I'm just overall very proud of that fic.

7. what is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

This is a hard one, cause i have very strong tendencies to ruin the happy ending if i ever write one lol. If we're talking mota then probably Breathe, baby or Messy hair (that's the only fluff I've written for clegan). But overall probably When you know, you know (my first fic), that one is really sweet and cute.

8. do you get hate on fics?

I don't. I think ao3 is the place where you can choose what you want to read so specifically and go really into detail with your preferences, that if the person doesn't like what you write they usually don't even click on your work or they just move on to another one. Or at least i think that's how it should be.

9. do you write smut?

No. I don't like it that much and it's too much for me too.

10. craziest crossover?

I don't write crossovers.

11. have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, i'm definitely not that famous and my works aren't that good to be stolen haha.

12. have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, no.

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

No, i haven't, but it's actually such a cool idea in my opinion. To share your art so intimately with someone else and cowork on some fic sounds very appealing and exciting to me.

14. all time favorite ship?

I don't think i have an all time fave, but Buck and Bucky are definitely up there. I can't forget about the ones who started all this which are Luffy and Zoro. There's definitely more, but I'm not sure right now.

15. what's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

There are sometimes just like fragments of my mind and ideas in my notes app, like a name of a song or a few key words with the ship i want it for and maybe even a few sentences. I think those ideas are really good, but i usually leave them untouched for too long and then it just doesn't really hit or make sense to you anymore. I have A LOT of wips right now. I've never really had any, i finished and posted almost everything I wrote, but now... I should do something about it lol.

16. what are your writing strengths?

I love writing dialogues, I'm not sure if it's my strength, but i truly do love writing conversations. I like to think that i can use metaphors and poetry language quite well in my fics.

17. what are your writing weaknesses?

Multi-chaptered fics are my worst fear. That's the reason why i have only one on my account and also why it's not finished yet. Maybe writing fluff and happy endings? I feel like sometimes i get too caught up in the sadness.

Btw. This was so hard for me to think about! So if you wanna tell me my strengths or weaknesses, feel free!

18. thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Uhh, very mysterious. I probably don't understand, but gimme more. Just make sure you have the right translation, that's probably the most important thing.

19. first fandom you wrote in?

One piece! Luffy and Zoro were my babies. But if we're not talking about ao3, that would be marauders with remus lupin and sirius black (or other pairings).

20. favorite fic you've written?

Hmm, this is a hard one. I'd say probably my fic Labyrinth, which if i remember correctly was an absolutely spontaneous fic that i wrote by getting inspired by a quote. I remember it was so easy for me to write it, cause i couldn't stop thinking about the quote, the words, the sentences and meaning it represented. But if we're talking about Mota fics, I'd have to say... I know it's over and it never really began, cause i enjoyed exploring Buck's resentment to what he really wants and Bucky not being able to do a single thing about it. But i have to also mention my first ever fic to this fandom Once more to see you, which was an absolute brainrot, cause i needed to get them out of my head and write about them. And now my latest fic Breathe, baby, which was a really personal one and it was so cool writing that and I'm very proud of what came out of it.

This took me an embarrassing amount of time, but I'm glad it's done and out here ;)

I got tagged by @rakshadow @musetta3 @in-arlathan @barbex @pedlimwen @cleverblackcat @kittynomsdeplume @pikapeppa for the fic writers' end of the year round up: 2022 edition.

Thank you for the tag and for thinking about me. You all are wonderful and inspiring writers and your presence and works are to be admired.

Words written (published or not, WIPs included): I wrote 122.381 words this year! More than I wrote last year. I'm proud of myself for writing this much even if I lost my steam in the last months because life. Nevertheless, wow I wrote those words!!

Here's the recording. Mine is different cuz I add my daily word count in a sheet. This year, the data starting from Sept to Dec was lost. So I almost did a table flip. Until I remembered I ALSO use a writing bot to record my daily word counts so I re-added the lost word count in the sheet to get the total.....the things I do for fanfic 😂

Smut scenes:.......0. Gosh darn it. One of my goals this year was to write an entire smut scene but I failed. 2023 has to be the year!!! My Lavellan is waiting for me to start it 😂

New things I tried: I jumped into exchanges and I wrote pairings and characters I never wrote. I participated in art trades and OC exchanges. I submerged my tiny writer feet in lots of fandom stuff and it was fun! I can't wait to do it even more this year!

Fic I spent the most time on: Definitely Daughter of Fire/Herald of Spirit. I spent so so many hours writing the chapters, editing them and re-editing them. It was so much fun and I want to do it again this year! I feel more confident with my English skills and I kinda....don't care anymore if people like it or not. Life kicked my ass and writing must be my calm down hobby.

Fic I spent the least time on: I usually spend lots of time working on what I post because I'm like that. The things I wrote and was semi-relaxed with were my DADWC drabbles. I did work a lot of those too but not so much as on the other things.

Favourite thing I wrote: Daughter of Fire. It's my special project. But I did had lots of fun writing for the art exchanges! Writing about other OCs is fun!

Favourite thing I read: gods I read so so many fanfics this year. And over 20 books and manga. I can't pick! I'm grateful for every fic and book I read cuz it kept me sane. Thank you for writing them!

Writing goals for 2023:

1. Write that darned smut fic. Istg, if I don't get it done this year, I will flip two tables. 😂

2. Try to finish DoF. I think two years for a long fic are enough. I want to be more confident about publishing my long fic even if now I don't have a beta. Anyone feeling like beta-ing me? 😂

3. Participate in more exchanges and give more writing gifts. Because gifting people is fun and writing about other OCs is fun.

4. Reach 200.000 words in a year. Fingers crossed.

5. Have fun because that's the only thing that matters.

I'm going to tag: @rosella-writes @darethshirl @little-lightning-lavellan @thebookworm0001 @anneapocalypse @thedastrash @knightdawn @potatowitch @pinkfadespirit @johaerys-writes @plisuu @fandomn00blr @crackinglamb @oxygenforthewicked @inquisimer @queenaeducan @perlen-gold @anderstrevelyan @melisusthewee @isk4649 @a11sha11fade @dreadfutures @sidhelives @retrowondergirl @bluewren and anyone who wants to do it. Please don't feel forced to participate and please be proud of what you've written this year. No matter how "small" or "big" it is. You wrote and that's all that matters.

Thank you for all the support you've given me and to my works. To many more fanfics this year! Cheers!
