Fic Writer Q&A

tagged by @maidstew! Thanks for the tag, Lily!

How many WIPs do you have currently?

6 tbosas fics + my Twilight fic... so 7 wips!

Which one are you finding the hardest to finish?

Well, my Twilight fic (my first ever published fic!) has not been worked on since Felix Ravinstill hit me like a truck, and I got isekai'd into this alternate universe where I can only write things at least tangentially related to a Ravinstill. So probably that! (I will get back to you, my repressed little princess... I will! I've fully fallen into sunk cost fallacy btw... 100k+ words have been written. 27/40 chapters... I have to finish it one day, right?)

But amongst my tbosas fics, it's probably my Felix time travels AU, because it's a lot! I don't really have the bandwidth to do a multichapter fic right now, but I plug away at it... (I'm thinking of maybe splitting it into three different fics? maybe that will make it more manageable to me?)

What does it usually look like when inspiration strikes for you?

I scramble to write it down and pace dramatically around until the inspiration runs out, but usually even then, if the ideas almost finished, I'll force myself to finish it.

Do you curate playlists for each fic or is your process different?

Nope! Maybe, I'll try and curate a playlist for me to pace dramatically to while I brainstorm, but I don't normally have create playlists, pinterest boards, or any other type thing like that for my fics. It's too distracting for me, so I just have to keep writing! I'm kind of jealous of the people who do create those things though! I wish I did for my fics, alas!

Do you go balls to the wall and write or are you more organized?

A bit of both? But only a little more organized, then straight going balls to the wall? I usually have an ending or what I consider a strong concept/themeTM to carry the fic before I start writing. I wish I was more capable of making a more strict outline and sticking to it!
