#just littered with clichés and general juvenile writing like i really regressed several years of skill when writing the two scenes

Hi megs! 1, 13, 28 for any fic, and 34 for the fic writer asks pleasies and thanks. Good luck with your critiques I am sending you So Much motivation <3

hi team! the most pressing critiques are done so i can relax for the night :)) i hope you're doing well!!

1. who's your favorite character(s) to write for? ooo that's a tricky one! is it cheating to say it depends on the month? some days i vibe more with one of them and then some days i'll vibe more with another one and in the end i feel like it balances out. they also are all challenging in different ways, but i do like a challenge when it comes to writing so that's not really a negative. i'm so sorry this is such a non-answer ksjdfkljsd if you'd like a specific i'll say that these past couple of weeks i've been vibing with writing calum the most, but who knows where i'll be next time you check in lol

13. when did you start writing fanfic? in eighth grade i start my still-unfinished epic that was all about the next generation in harry potter and i've been working on that on and off up until literally last year and then i discovered 5sos fic and here i am! that next gen hp au still lives in my head and occasionally reminds me of just how much i had planned and never got anywhere close to finishing. maybe someday i'll pick it back up, but for now it's semi-permanently shelved.

28. is there a part of we gotta make a decision (leave tonight or die this way) you’re surprised no one has picked up on yet? okay i picked this fic bc it's the one where i know the most about the world outside what's "on the page" as it were and also these are my boys. my children. the start of my magnum opus. /hj. anyways idk someone may have picked up on this and just didn't say anything (you know how the kudos-to-comments ratio be like) but there is one line that's a nod to you might think by the cars! does this song have anything to do with the world? not really! but i love the particular lyric so much and besides it's a driving fic and the band's name is the cars so what more connection do you need kdjglkdjlfjdjlkgdf

34. have you felt emotional while writing a scene before? what scene was it? yes a couple times! i actually cried while writing this one wip which is an arrival (2016) au that focuses more on the relationship and what happens after the movie ends so if you know the movie then you can probably guess why i cried lol. (if you don't know it don't sweat it, just know it do be angsty tho.) but i find that writing from raw emotions can often lead to mediocre prose (in my case, i can't speak for other people) so i try to put some distance btwn myself and the feelings i'm writing about. for example, don't let me drown in my mind is heavily inspired by my real life, but i waited about two months to try and write about it, and i also made sure i was in a better headspace before i started it bc selfcare <3

send me some fanfic writer asks!
