20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by @scary-monsters <3 ty ily

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 6! One for The Witcher and 5 for JJBA.

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 6,498 <3 So few!!! For now <3

3. What fandoms do you write for? JJBA, One Piece and maybe a few others in future. Buuut mostly those two right now. Even if the OP shit is unreleased. And Resident Evil!!! Hopefully soon.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Well this is sorta easy with only 6 works in total. BUT. His Sweet Kiss (Geraskier fluff), Letters from a lover (compilation of short letters from characters), If I could be with you tonight (Gyro angst), Ties that Bind (Dio fic...... that I uhhh,,, haven't continued. Whoops) and Phantom Pains / Fleurs Captives (Diabeth angst) !!!

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes! I do try to! I don't get them very often, mostly because I'm only recently getting back onto writing platforms. But I do try to. I like people who enjoy my works to know the support is appreciated.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Definitely Phantom Pains. Out-of-the-blue Diabeth angst ending in grief and regret... I do love writing angst and I don't shy away from sad endings either! Although I do love a good happy end too <3

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Speaking of.... His Sweet Kiss is definitely the happiest one, at least so far. My lost-to-time fics from the Wattpad era weren't exactly happy, so I think a fluffy mess like HSK is the best right now.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not yet. Yet. It'll happen eventually I'm sure.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do! I have yet to publish any of it, though. Mostly because I am incredibly picky when it comes to smut, and by extension incredibly finicky with my own smutty works. As for what kind? Ah... a mix.

10. Do you write crossovers? I don't. I don't even think I'd necessarily consider it for anything other than a crackfic.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I have not! But I have had people copy my writing suspiciously closely.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? I have not, but I would be honoured if someone offered to, and I hope that at some point I'm fluent enough in another language to do so myself.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I have not. I'm semi-open to the idea of it, but also... kind of sounds stressful.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship? Ahhhh..... Geraskier held my heart for a very long time. I'm also a YenRalt truther, though. I struggle a little to compute ships nowadays but I think Dinopants is really fun. and Satosugu.

15. What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? Oh god, the Dio fic I started and then never continued. It was meant to be a look into Diabeth over the years but I changed a lot of things since I started it, so I may have to scrap the whole thing and restart.

16. What are your writing strengths? Description. I love describing things and spaces and people more than anything and I think that love has lead to a lot of practice. I can be a little flowery at times but I don't particularly mind it. It's not for everyone, though.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Dialogue. I never know how much to have people say or not say. It's something I need to practice. On the flipside, sometimes I have characters say too much and then I completely neglect action. I just need to get better with it all-round.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I do it! And I respect other writers who have the balls to do it (and potentially cock it up). I tend to check, and double/triple check it.

19. First fandom you wrote for? If I'm being honest it was probably Skullduggery Pleasant, back before I even knew Fanfiction was a thing. And I read it out in front of my class at the time. I think I was about 10.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? Honestly? Every since I wrote Phantom Pains it's been my pride and joy. I really love my use of description and imagery and tone in that one specifically. I just really love it.

I don't have anyone to tag.... that Kat didn't already tag. So take this as a free ticket to join in should you wish to <3

i was never a fan of pggy but with all this captain carter nonsense i can barely look at her now like... we have a captain now! its sam wilson! and its very obvious that theyre completely ignoring the political background of both steve rogers as cap all the way back when he was conceived and of sam as cap now just to make some #girlboss move with peggy which is just. Ugh. @marvel stop shoving her into every narrative and focus on some actually good female characters instead

eh, I don't hate Peggy personally. I don't even dislike her tbh. I really enjoyed Agent Carter, still do, still disappointed there wasn't a third season, and I actually think she was a fantastic character in that show. I kind of just deal with all the things I don’t like about her and how she was written in canon by telling myself there are two Peggys - the Peggy in MCU canon and the Peggy in my own version of canon who absolutely did not shoot at Steve and worked hard to make sure SHIELD wasn't corrupt or harboring n*zis and who either marries Daniel Sousa or settles down with Angie Martinelli as her "live-in gal pal" *wink wink nudge nudge*

as for the Captain Carter schtick... I think it's a neat idea in theory for fans. like, if someone wrote a fanfic where Peggy becomes Cap instead or made fanart of Peggy as Cap I'd be like 'oh that's really cool and interesting'. but it's not a fanfic, it's canon, which makes it feel very very different. and making it canon is... really distasteful. from lots of different viewpoints.

like, first of all, as a British person, seeing someone decked out in a union jack flag sets off my fight or flight response. and it's such a painfully American move to make. British patriotism is a whole different beast to American patriotism, like you can't just be slapping a British flag in place of the American flag unless you're going to be incredibly satirical about it.

and then, like you point out, there's the fact they're pushing Captain Carter this soon after Sam became Captain America. it's SO disrespectful to Sam and poc fans to take that spotlight away from him and make alternative white Caps when he hasn't even had his own movie yet.

and the thing is, she's not really comparable to Steve or Sam at all - Steve was the son of a poor immigrant and lived his whole life dealing with life-threatening disabilities and yet was determined enough to join the fight against fascism that he was made Captain America. Sam is black man from a poor family and spent his life helping people as a volunteer pararescue and a counsellor for fellow veterans and didn't think twice before dropping his comfortable life to fight n*zis. Peggy is a white upper-class Brit. she’s a badass woman, sure, but her situation is nothing like either of theirs.

Captain America, at it's core, is supposed to be a symbol against fascism in America (created by two Jewish men taking a stand against fascism in their time). which is what makes Sam and Steve such perfect individuals to be Captain America, because of their life experiences and what they stand for. a white upper-class British person isn't exactly the ideal Captain America stand-in. but the MCU has made it painfully clear it wants you to forget Cap's left-wing origins, so... at the end of the day I'm not surprised.

anyway, I still love Agent Carter and the Peggy Carter that exists in the version of the MCU that lives in my head. always will. but she isn’t Cap. that’s Sam Wilson’s title now.

and I'm not trying to start an argument with anyone here so if anyone who does want to argue stumbles on this please do just keep scrolling.

[packimprints]

Hiiii im requesting a ship please. I'm 5'7 with spilt dyed hair, (half black half silver). I like anime and drawing. I always try to make everyone happy. My siblings say I'm to nice for this world cause I'm selfless and kind. I love making people smile, sometimes I need to learn to be a little selfish otherwise I end up hurting myself to make others happy. I'm very energetic, and I have OCD and ADD. my friends describe me as "a butterfly in a field of chaos". I'm curvy and have a flat stomach. (Which I hate cause my boobs hurt my back) and I'm Filipino and Black. Also I'm a Hufflepuff! 🖤💛🖤💛

Ship for @leahtsstuff

Sorry for the delay. I don't know why I can't tag you. I hope you really like your ship. I'm very excited for this one.

I ship you with Jacob!

Jacob absolutely adored you. Whipped? No! He would thank the spirits every single day for choosing you for him.

At first, Jake was a bit overwhelmed with the whole imprinting thing as he wished Bella to be his imprint and would basically just be confused on why you were chosen for him.

Oh boy! With the help of the pack, he started to hang out with you and realised he could be his true self and not an option for the first time in life

Even though you were just a bit shorter than him, for him you were this tiny precious ball who needed tons of bubble wrapping to keep you safe.

"What are you doing Jake! "

"What!? It's bubble wrap butterfly. You need It. "

"Jake! Help me get out."

"Only on one condition, that you would go out of your comfort zone. Look baby, I'm not saying that you don't be nice to people. Don't lose your quality for what others do to you, but also, never let anyone walk over you again OK? I'm going to be there for you."

He cupped your cheeks and helped you out of it.

That moment you realised he was not just protecting you but making you strong and helping you to not get hurt again. Atleast it was the first step.

It was going to be hard at first. He knew it but hey, if something went wrong you could always run in his arms to sweet kisses and encouraging words.

Jake really struggled sometimes with his mom's death and it became ti much. He knew he could rely on you for your wise words and every ready hugs.

You were really close to the pack as they just couldn't stop awing the both of you together. They could see how you both helped each other in breaking the walls and become confident.

He was your sunshine. Literally. His smile lighted up your life.

You were really close to Embry as he considered you as his best friend who would come and share his problems.

Jake had to admit that seeing you with his best friend, helping him out and encouraging him, made Jake fall in love with you more.

You would have anime nights where he had a hard time matching your energy when it came to your favorite parts. And also warm hugs when the anime made your cry.

What the Pack thinks of you :

God forbid anyone who messed with you or hurt you. Before facing the wrath of Jake, they had to go through the anger of Paul. He considered you his little sister and no one, absolutely no one could make you cry. Not even Jake. Jake had got a blue eye when he had made you cry. Well that day Paul entered Emily's house giggling with Jake mumbling curses helping his eye with ice.

"Well, next time I won't be this gentle sourpup." Paul grabbed the muffin with you rushing to help Jake.

"Come on I admit I was wrong. She forgave me. And still I have a black eye. "

"As a reminder that never, ever make my sister cry."

Sam and Emily were really happy with Jake finally finding his love.

Embry was forever grateful to you as a best friend.

Quil was that brother with whom you pranked others and got away because of your cuteness.

Leah first found a but weird for a person like you to adore her so much but then, she was one step ahead of Paul when it came to protect you. A big sister you could always rely on.

Seth, your little brother with whom you drew your thoughts. He always bought you new paints.

Jared was the prankster brother but so soft for you. He kept the drawing you have him for his birthday as a reminder to always look at the positive side.

All credit to the owner.

I really hope you like your ship.

If not I'll be happy to reconsider.

Have a great day and stay Safe.

if your pronouns are they/them what are you transitioning too?

ok i am gonna answer this based off a couple assumptions and if im wrong feel free to correct me

number one being that this is about me tagging that post "i am litcherally trans"

and two that you are operating under an outdated idea that being trans as a label is only for people who are actively transitioning/have fully transitioned

so here goes:

being trans is an umbrella term that encompasses anyone who isn't cis!

this means trans women, trans men, non binary people, genderfluid people and so on

and while there's people from every one of those groups who may choose to socially or medically transition it's not required of anyone in order to truly be trans

not to mention for people outside of being men or women (and even within those) transitioning can mean lots of different things

some women like having a dick and they don't have to get rid of it or act like they don't in order to be a woman and the opposite goes and so on and so forth

it's just really important to remember that peoples id's as trans and their journeys or pathways thru being trans are incredibly unique and no two people have the same or the same thoughts about themselves or gender

i think one of the biggest things that helps to grasp that is coming to terms with the idea that parts are not gender

penis is not boy

vagina is not girl

this means that the physical and literal act of "transitioning" is not necessary for being trans

whether its because it can be expensive, or unsafe depending on your living situation or area (or even in general; trans women are at an incredibly disproportionate rate of being murdered), or personal preference/ideas/concepts of gender

gender can mean different things to different people

like i said some women like having a dick and for other women they dont and each is feminine and each is a woman they just have different ideas of what being feminine looks and feels like to them

anyways on the subject of me personally and my identity in its ties to my gender

i am not a woman, and i dont like being called or referred to like one. i am also not a man, but i dont mind being called or referred to like one.

i like different things and expressions that are frequently considered to be gendered on both sides (ie. getting my nails done, working on my car)

i personally when i get dressed up in a feminine sense it feels like a performance or like dress up and it's fun and i do enjoy presenting femininely at times for that

but in my everyday i tend to present more masculinely as i feel it aligns with who i am and how i express myself as a baseline

i feel the most aligned with a term i call "gender chaos" my all time goal in terms of gender expression is to be someone who's difficult to nail down gender wise i want strangers on the street who just give me a passing glance to be confused lfmdkd it sounds like a joke and it is funny to me but also i am serious

so my pronouns are in my bio because on this hellsite i would like people who are talking to or about me to gender me correctly so i put them there for yall to see and if you wanna chose not to use them or respect them thats fine im just gonna block you cause while i dont care because no one elses opinion on my gender matters to me i also am not gonna put up with it so big ole blockerooni right there

anyways i hope this answers your question and if not feel free to ask another i personally dont mind spending time discussing and answering questions about my gender but keep in mind not everyone has the time or emotional energy to do that all the time and trans people do not owe you explanation or education!!

all the love,

ezra
