23 & 33 for the fic asks (if you feel like answering those)?

Typical, I posted an ask game and then forgot to check back for asks after a while. My bad 😅

But thanks, I appreciate you!

23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written before but would like to?

I do have a Western AU started (for a very specific show) so that kind of counts, but that I’ve absolutely never done? There isn’t much I want to do that I haven’t done already - I tend to just do the same thing in different flavors. But I don’t think I’ve ever done a natural disaster type emergency fic. Or maybe something more procedural? Idk, I’ve written 130 fics for this fandom. There isn’t much I would write that I haven’t done already.

33. If you write chaptered fics, what’s your ideal chapter length to write? Is it different from your ideal chapter length to read?

I don’t really have a preferred chapter length to write, I generally just write until it seems like a good place to stop (I love a cliff hanger). But that is different from reading because I prefer a meatier chapter. I’m not a fan of short chapters, I want at least 1k to dig into before we move on.

Questions for fic writers

'temporary love' was in my top ten songs for spotify wrapped and its literally because of your amazing fanvid that introduced me to the song (i had never heard it before watching your video). so appreciated your stunning lonestar vids this year, thank you for sharing them!

This is so nice, thank you so much for telling me this! That song is perfect for them 💕

porcelain and aquamarine for the ask game?

thank youuuu 😌

27 & 39 for the ask game?

27: books or films?

i will always chose books over film, tv, theatre, etc even though i love them all and i constantly struggle to read as effortlessly as i used to. there’s just something unmatched in having a story unfold solely in your mind’s eye and learning stories and characters with words and your perceptions alone.

39: is there wise words you live by?

i have many but the passage i keep closest to my heart and try my best to live by is wild geese by mary oliver.

I don’t really know how to put yesterday into words... I just love Louis with all my heart😭 he really does shine on the stage and I just can’t believe how beautiful he is inside and outside! He really is an angel, the Sun and even more! I’m so so thankful for him and for the people who I got to know because of him! Yesterday was one of the most defining memories of my life, I will never ever forget how I felt during that day!

last song: finally getting into wet leg so id say chaise longue but all the live versions on youtube!

currently watching: never have i ever for the wholesome goofiness and silo for some action! it’s the perfect combo but i have like one day a week when i can sit in front of the tv rip

current obsession: “staying cool! it is currently over 30c indoors which is... not. right. lmao. also sleeping. always sleeping. i <3 sleep” yeah i’ll just quote you on that if you don’t mind. that resonates.

currently reading: well the YA fantasy i bought a decade ago only to pick it up now looks lame compared to your selection but it’s good so far!!
