20 Questions for Fanfiction Writers

Borrowing these questions from @silurisanguine because I love the idea <3

1). How many works do you have on AO3?

28 currently

2). What’s your total AO3 word count?

534,664 so far

3). What are your top five fics by kudos?

1 - Touch - 214 Kudos 2 - My sanctuary - 193 Kudos 3 - Forever - 111 Kudos 4 - Of Crows & Talons - 98 Kudos 5 - Maybe Tomorrow Is A Better day - 96 Kudos

4). What fandoms do you write for?

Pallia, Cyberpunk2077 & Dragon Age Veilgaurd

5). Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I always reply to comments when I get them, I cherish each comment and I like to thank them for leaving them as it means alot to me.

6). What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I would say the angstiest kind of near the end would be Crimson Feathers, it was angst near the end due to a major character dying (Kind Of) but I just cant bring myself to write an angsty/sad ending I love a happy ending to much,

the angstiest fic is still on going and that's As The Crow Fly's, it deals with alot of trauma from the Ossuary and character death but It wont be angst forever it will be happier soon.

7). What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I'm not entirely sure as I all of my fics have a happy ending, I guesse the end of Crimson Feathers was pretty happy and hopeful for the future XD

8). Do you get hate on fics?

surprisingly not, I guesse I haven't made it as an author yet XD

but in general If I did I would just delete, block and ignore it im not going to feel bad because someone I don't even know and doesn't know me said something mean about me or what I write.

At the end of the day we are writing about fictional characters in fictional worlds, none of if it real and nobody is hurting anyone so I don't really see what there is to hate lol

9). Do you write smut?

I have a tendency to write mostly smut, I have 2 fics in progress that are less focused on it but most of my stories have smut XD

10). Do you write crossovers?

I haven't done yet, I have a few im tempted to write but whether I do remains to be seen XD, I have done some crossover art before though lol

11). Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as im aware, I have seen fics that might have been inspired by my works but it is possible for writers to have the same thoughts or ideas for a fic so more than likely it's a coincidence than anything else.

besides even if they where inspired by something I wrote, its flattering as long as they are not copying me word for word and they give there own unique twists I don't see the harm.

12). Have you ever had a fic translated?

nope at least not as far as im aware and if someone wanted to I would hope they would ask me for permission first

13). Have you ever cowritten a fic before?

Not exactly, I have swapped ideas and brainstormed with other writers before though.

I wrote a cyberpunk2077 fic set in an AU where there is no Relic and a friend is writing a fic that is in the same universe from a different characters perspective, a kind of side project that covers stuff going on in the background during my fic, so I guesse that's kind of a cowriting thing XD

14). What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Oh god I'm not sure I can pick, Goro Takemura/My OC and Lucanis Dellamorte/Rook I have written the most about so probably those but I couldn't choose between them there both my bbs

15). What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

As The Crow Fly's - I wanted to write a sequel of Crimson Feathers as I wanted write about Illario and his adjusting to life no longer in Lucanis's shadow, and earning forgiveness, while also helping Spite & Lucanis finally deal with the suppressed trauma/PTSD of the Ossuary but its alot of angst which isnt something I write alot of so can be a little emotional.

I'm also writing a Modern Day Fencing AU - En Garde - which is the polar opposite, its happy and fun and I enjoy writing it so its hard to work on As The Crow Fly's sometimes especially when im not really sure were im at in terms of plot. and I just find whenever im in the mood to write I want to write more En Garde instead XD

16). What are your writing strengths?

I'm not sure I would consider myself to have a writing strength per say but my friend calls me the queen of smut which I think is a little bit over the top I have read some incredible smut that is waaaaaay better than mine so I don't think that is a title I disserve but I do enjoy writing smut so *shrugs* who knows.

17). What are your writing weaknesses?

I have a tendency to repeat myself sometimes I don't like just using he said she said I like to use different terms like he purrs or she sighs but I tend to overuse them sometimes its something i really struggle with.

and of course being dyslexic there is also the eternal struggle with spelling and grammar, I also don't have a beta reader so im kind of relying on spell check software and that isnt always the greatest.

18). Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

I have only done it a few times, i.e Antivan (Spanish/Italian) for Lucanis Dellamorte/Altara De Riva (Rook) and Japanese/Russian for Goro Takemura/my OC Raven.

Not being a native speaker of any other language than my own I have to hope google translate is accurate when I do write dialogue in a different language, I try not to over use it i.e only use a few phrases mixed in with English, I would probably be more confident if I was multy lingual but sadly I only speak/write in one language fluently

19). First fandom you wrote for?

Labyrinth back when I was a teenager (we don't speak of it and I deleted the evidence) I loved the Goblin king back then and I still do HAHA

20). Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

Honestly If we are talking completed works probably Arasaka Stud an AU where Goro Takemura was working as an escort in Konpeki plaza but ends up getting hired by his client as there bodyguard and his dark past catches up with him, It was a personal challenge to myself to write a Smut scene in every chapter but it ended up having a fun plot that I enjoyed weaving around the smut and I had a blast writing it.

I would say it inspired my fic Touch which was formatted in a similar way in terms of smut but for Lucanis/Rook/Spite, Touch was one of the first fics I ever wrote that got alot of comments, kudos and hits I was blown away by it as up until then I had prety much never received any comments on any fic I had written, other than a few dotted here and there and it made me fall in love with writing all over again.

If we were talking about Favourite WIP I would say En Garde for sure I'm enjoying writing a slower burn romance, as much as I love to write smut its nice to try something new sometimes and focus more on plot instead of "plot" lol

ive been getting a lot of concerningly relatable things on my feed, realized they were all tagged as bpd, clicked on the tag, and now have even more, more relatable posts on my dash.

[miss0atae]

Not to brag but my dash is really great today: it's mostly about marriage equality in Thailand and Pit Babe S2.

I'm not complaining at all 😁

[onlyxmcbride]

my whole dash/homepage is filled with nothing but poetry, whimsy goth/witchy vibes and ethel cain. I've never been happier with an algorithm.

[vampjasper]

When the moots are moots so you get the same post on your dash three times.

Struggle to keep motivated when writing fan ficiton?

try this game on steam, its a little cat on your task bar that drums the task bar when you type, the more you type the more pats he does and you can unlock cute hats for it. its like a little reward for every letter you type or every click of your mouse as you edit XD

its so damn cute XD, it just runs in the background while you work lol
