OH LOOK, A CHANCE FOR CHAOS :^) what about, uh...3, 5, 18 and 25 for the author asks? ๐
'a chance for chaos' yeah well of COURSE you would jump at the opportunity for THAT (thank you so very much ๐๐๐)
get to know your author asks
3) what order do you write in? front of book to back? chronological? favorite scenes first? something else?
I had a feeling you might ask this one skdjfnsdfsdf
I urr....I write...Whatever I feel like writing, for the most part. Initially, at least. If I have a scene that I want in a new chapter then I'll write out a very rough version of said scene and just sort of stick it wherever it needs to go.
When it comes to writing things proper, I do mostly write chronologically, but if I'm really struggling with something then I'll skip over it and come back to it right at the end.
5) character you were most surprised to end up writing
Literally about 90% of my fake/real cast tbh. Realistically, Pinocchio|August was the only safe bet and every other character was a surprise. Lizard...Pan...the Nautilus gang... I didn't really expect to write any of them. Absolutely wild stuff.
Also, Lampwick & Pyotr. I never expected to write such prominent 'ocs' but I don't care, I love them dearly, especially the donkey man
18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they?
I feel like there were definitely authors I used to read that influenced my writing pretty heavily when I was writing horrible original fiction 10+ years ago. Stories with a prominent narrator + lots of humour within that narration
More recently, 90% of my reading material is fanfic, ngl, so most of what I'm affected by will be that (which is not to diminish the writing of any fic author btw. I read some exceptional writers imo). The latest 'proper book' I've been reading is dracula the wtnv novel, so make of that what you will.
25) copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that youโre particularly proud of
oh no.....this is hard ๐ญ I guess that I like a lot of mess is mine ? it's potentially my fave fic as a whole? And I know there are a few good lines in there probably...........
I guess I still like this, if I have to choose something:
He looked unstable. Tired and unsteady, as though he might fall over at any moment, listing slightly to his left side, like a broken bookshelf. Lampwick had never seen his friend look quite so much like a puppet since they were children.
But back then, that was how he was supposed to be. He had been carved by chisels and magic and love and that was all Lampwick had ever known of him. Of Pinocchio. And his existence as a marionette was never something that troubled Lampwick, because it was simply what he was.
Now, as an adult, as August Booth, there was something so wrong about the image. Something that made Lampwickโs stomach roll and his insides squirm with worry.
