omg hi bff <3

7. What does a WIP look like to you? (do you take notes? is anything color-coded? do you have a preferred font?)

a wip to me is usually an idea scribbled into a Google doc when I'm feeling inspired! most of the time, they come from DM's between me and my mutuals, but sometimes I just get random thoughts from a particular picture. once I've got the base idea, I'll do plot bullet points of every aspect I wanna include, eg.,

meet at coffee shop.

have a conversation about kinks.

and as I go through and write the fic, I'll highlight the bullet point once I've covered it! I'll do research if I don't know enough about an aspect of the fic (eg. children's milestones for teacher au), but otherwise, I just make shit up, lol . no colour coding or font preferences, I really do just wing it 99% of the time.

11. Share a snippet from something you're working on!

omg I thought I didn't have any more snippets, but I found one DEEEEEEP in the Google docs from something titled "sad car angst" so take from that what you will i suppose??

13. What's something someone said about your writing that stuck with you?

simultaneously, so many things and nothing?? like I remember how words made me feel, but not the specific phrasing (I do have memory issues, so I will use that as an excuse...)

But I remember the very first ask I got from bff anon made me cry because no one had been that nice about my writing before. It was crazy. now I am blessed and have SO MANY absolute sweethearts who chat to me regularly, but that ask was the first time I remember feeling so honoured that someone liked something i wrote <3

17. Do you have a least favourite work of yours?

oh god. all of them. I haven't gone back to read my "I hate matty healy" series as I fear I would crumble and die of cringe. recently, I absolutely hated how porn star au chapter 2 came out, but I fear that was just me having read it too many times. I haven't gone back to it yet with fresh eyes, but maybe I will? anyway, I struggle to feel good about any of my work, so all of them are my favs and least favs at the same time <3

ask me a question if you want :)
