How many works do you have on ao3?

6, technically, but one of them is just my outtakes

What’s your total word count?

221299 (jfc)

What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I'm Looking Through You Thinking Of Speaking My Mind Under Both His Thumbs Diarchy (Everything Comes Out) Teenage Petulance

Do you respond to comments? Why/why not?

Yes, but not always. Sometimes I forget and sometimes when the comment isn't very detailed I'm just not sure what to say. But I am thankful for every comment (I also feel weird about the fact that my replying inflates my own stats?)

What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?

All my fics have fairly bittersweet endings I think. But the last sentence of Under Both His Thumbs is almost anxiety inducing.

What's the fic you've written with the happiest ending?

Probably Teenage Petulance because it's kinda my most straightforward story. But it's also about pretty terrible grief, so maybe I'm Looking Through You, which I'd say has quite a hopeful if uncertain ending.

Do you write crossovers?

I don't see it happening for Beatles fic, tbh.

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I was just going through my old ff.net reviews the other day and found some bizarre hate. But not on my Beatles fics no.

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Not really.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, I think so actually, like a decade ago? I think I came across something I wrote in Russian? haven't thought about this in years and I hadn't been asked permission, but I think I was credited.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No and I'm not sure how I'd go about it tbh.

What's your all-time favourite ship?

IDK !!!!!

What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?

that time I started writing an Agatha Christie-style whodunnit starring various Beatles authors solving the mystery of the Beatles breakup.

What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm fairly good at empathetically depicting characters, even when they're maybe acting irrationally. I also think I'm able to weave real history well into my narrative and I'd say I'm good at themes.

What are your writing weaknesses?

I think I have a tendency toward melodrama – less in the plot, but in characters' reactions to the plot.

What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

This is such a specific question. I used Bavarian German once in I'm Looking Through You actually.

I don't want my reader to have to look up what something means or scroll to the bottom of the page to read a footnote. So I would only include it if it wasn't pertinent to understand or translate in-line.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

BBC Sherlock :/ I Don't Wanna Talk About It

What's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to?

Stealing Abbi's take here. John/Brian would be very cool to write (and I do want to weave it into my current big WIP even if it won't be the main focus).

What's your favourite fic you've written?

I'm Looking Through You represents an entire phase of my life and writing it taught me so much so it's in a sense the most formative thing I've made… that being said, Thinking Of Speaking My Mind is a fic that is so emotionally tied to a lot of my feelings about the Beatles' story. I still think about it a lot.
