20 questions for fic writers
thanks @rainofthetwilight for tagging me in this!! i’m going to go ahead and tag @kumoriwrites, @finn-m-corvex and @mondothebombo (no pressure!). and without further ado:
1) how many works do you have on ao3?
five, at the moment
2) what’s your total ao3 wordcount?
43,430 words (a very nice number!)
3) what fandom(s) do you write for?
just ninjago! i might make stuff for other fandoms, but i’m happy just writing about the plastic lego guys at the moment
4) what are your top five fics by kudos?
in decsending order:
Putting the Puzzle Pieces Back Together - 139 kudos (woah!!)
Current Runs Thicker Than Water - 115 kudos
ERROR: Battery Low - 91 kudos
Unfamiliar, Familiar Dances - 75 kudos
Thin Ice Breaks Easily - 48 kudos
5) do you respond to comments?
yes yes yes!!!! it takes me a while, but i appreciate every single one of them, from the keysmashes to the theories <33
6) what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
(glances at the “angst” tag on all my fics) well, they all have their angsty moments, but i’d say it’s a tie between Thin Ice Breaks Easily (if you like lloyd + zane angst) and ERROR: Battery Low (if you like jay angst)! and rest assured, there’ll be angstier stuff to come >:)
7) what is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Current Runs Thicker Than Water wins that easily! bittersweet but hopeful endings are one of my favourite kinds.
8) do you get hate on fics?
thankfully not! the closest it’s been are requests to update stuff (which i’m getting round to, i swear-)
9) do you write smut? if so, what kind?
nope. not for me.
10) do you write crossovers? what’s the craziest one you’ve written?
i don’t write crossover fics, but i have some au fics planned which involve events from other media!
11) have you ever had a fic stolen?
again - thankfully not.
12) what’s the longest time you’ve spent working on a fic? and what’s the shortest?
longest - my wip The Enneadic Logs, by far. it’ll be around two years old by the time i start posting it!
shortest - Thin Ice Breaks Easily, because i had a deadline and i kept rewriting it ToT. but i’m happy with the final result!
13) have you ever co-written a fic?
not yet, but i’d be interested!!
14) what’s your all-time favourite ship? from every fandom?
uhhhh… i’m not an overly shippy person, so if I go by which ship i’ve written about the most, i’d say jaya.
15) what’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i’ve got a rough outline for a nyad-centric fic, but that’s very much in the drafts stage, and i don’t have a load of motivation to work on that.
16) what are your writing strengths?
i love love love going into depth with how elemental powers feel to their holders, and i’ve been told i’m great at describing that!
17) what are your writing weaknesses?
dialogue, i think? i tend to overthink it a lot, and usually i have to wait until my brain comes up with something that sounds natural. that’s the bit i edit the most!
18) thoughts in writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
already done it! there’s latin in Putting the Puzzle Pieces Back Together (for plot reasons), which was translated by the amazing @inspectorghoul :D
(i’m now realising that i didn’t translate all of it in the fic, so if anyone wants translations for stuff you can send in an ask!)
19) first fandom you wrote for?
ninjago!
20) favourite fic you’ve ever written?
i can’t choose - either ERROR: Battery Low for the poetic writing style i’m proud of, Putting the Puzzle Pieces Back Together for what’s going to happen in later chapters, or The Enneadic Logs for the sheer chaos that unfolds!
