Hi Queenie! Hope you're doing well :)

For the Fanfiction Writer Ask Game: 13 +17

daw thank you!!!! :D i've been having a pretty nice day so far - i hope you have too!

13. What are some of your writing and reading pet peeves?

oh lord help me. i feel like my writing pet peeves are incredibly...stupid. i mentioned in an earlier ask that i get p tired reading off of screens, so because of that, i do (nearly) all of my writing by hand and then type it up later. one would think. this would mean. i have gotten better. at handwriting.

this is not so.

i hate having to reread my own chickenscratch and type it out asdkfjaklsdfj it's awful. absolutely the pits.

but with READING...really, formatting is the worst :\ i click out of a fic SO FAST if the formatting is bad. if i don't see paragraph breaks when different people are talking, mmm. that and characterization, honestly - if the fic isn't tagged "out of character," or even like "crack" and i find myself saying "they would not fucking say that" more than a handful of times, i just gotta hit the road, alas.

17. What are your top 3 favorite tropes of all time? 

#1 is alwaysalwaysalways gonna be "there was only one bed," or some iteration of that. honestly, anything involving sleep. falling asleep around someone you trust? yes. napping after the big battle? yesyesyes. it's too early in the morning to process the fact we ended up falling asleep in the same place, i'm too warm and cozy to bother being embarrassed? YEEEESSSSSSS. i am a girl who appreciates a good, sleepy fic. (it's DEFINITELY not me projecting, noooooo!)

close after that, i'm never sure if this counts as its own "trope," but the "oh no" moment for SURE. just that second where character a realizes, WHOOPS. UH OH. I'M IN THIS TOO DEEP!!! i love it. eat it up every. single. time.

then finally, i'm a sucker for fake dating/fake marriage/fake relationship of any kind, esPECIALLY when the characters involved are the kind who take it wayyy too far. the ones who REALLY commit to the bit, know what i mean??? the ones who are so caught up in being convincing that they forget to be embarrassed until WHOOPS THERE IT IS!!!

writing asks!
