15, 22, and 32 for writer ask games?

15.  How do you deal with writer’s block?

I hoped I'd get this question, I've actually ran a workshop to help with writers block! 

1. I'll consume other media, we need inspiration to write (no matter what you're writing). It doesn't even need to be similar to what you're working on, I get really inspired by really good dialogue for example, doesn't matter if it's a sitcom or a sci-fi podcast. 

2. Free writing! I usually find this easier with a prompt, set a timer for 10 mins and just keep writing. It doesn't matter how good or bad it is, it can be like an unclogging of your mind.

3. Write something completely different so your brain can work on it in the background. So this could be simply doing chores while you deal with a plotting issue in your head. Or it could be starting a new writing project that is the complete opposite: for example my main project is a sci fi YA dystopian novel so my other project is a queer new adult holiday romance where an event planner falls for someone in an Abba tribute. Very different vibes 😂

Bonus tip: fanfic! I think of fanfic has a sandbox for writing techniques, try stuff out with someone else's world and characters for a bit and get more comfortable with it because applying it to your own work. 

22.  Who is/are your favourite pairing(s) to write?

Firstprince from RWRB is number one just now, & I do love a Junora in the background. I'm waiting for The Pairing to be released in August, I got an ARC and I already have so many ideas for Theo & Kit 🥰 I also loved writing Magnus x Vilde (Skam)

32.  Most difficult character to write

So this kind of goes for fanfic and my own work, I really struggle with dads! My relationship with my own dad has been turbulent but my granda was basically my father figure (he was very young looking for his age so most people though he was my dad as my actual dad lives elsewhere).

Uh—Hello! I uh, was attacked by a saber cat, or I would have been her sooner. Er—sorry for the delay.

[awkward pause] …Do you happen to know any restoration magic?

❌🎢 💌💞

Lay down and let me heal you. And please be careful next time; I thought you could phase to me anywhere.

❌ What’s a trope you will never write?

I don't know if this is necessarily a trope, but I will NEVER write a fic that romanticizes mental illness. Back in the day, when I wrote x reader fics and took requests, someone requested something that bordered on that. I couldn't find a way around the romanticization aspect, and remains to be the ONLY fic request I've ever turned down.

Like I'm okay with writing trauma fics, but I refuse to write one that romanticizes PTSD, depression, etc. because that's not okay and gives misinformation. Some people - especially when they're young - use fic as a form of therapy and almost take it too seriously. I won't feed into unhealthy coping mechanisms because they once read it in a fic and think the romanticization is healthy and okay.

📈 How many fics do you have?

Uhhhhhh ~quickly goes to check~

According to AO3, 61

Granted, a VAST majority is one-shots, and when you take requests, that builds up QUICK

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

I'm needy and need validation, so if I don't get comments and feedback with every single chapter, I will give up on the project.

I don't want to put something out there and not get any comments and feedback because then I stop seeing a point. I only do something if I'm obligated to do it.

💞 Who’s your comfort character?

Okay, I'm fully aware you're going to be lost with most of these.

Here's a list (in no particular order) because I have too many:

Uncle Iroh

Zuko

Bolin
