I just found this post in my drafts after all this time!

Thanks for the tag @crimsonflame-and-goldenheart 💞

What’s your all-time favourite ship?

I would have said Bellarke, but now I only associate them with PAIN. So then the better answer is Captain Swan, because they gave me everything and didn’t break my heart in the end!

How many works do you have on ao3?

I have 6 fics. 4 are Bellarke, 1 is Snow White, and 1 is Darklina. All are complete except The Brave Princess and the Rebel King, which I’ve basically abandoned, and Rage Against the Dying of the Light, which I really should get back to one of these days.

What’s your total ao3 word count?

12369

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Watching the Fire Glow

Rage Against the Dying of the Light

Is that all she is to him?

Morning Light

I Want It

Do you reply to comments, why or why not?

I always reply to comments! I’ve never had a mean comment before, so I love replying to nice messages 😊.

Fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Tw // mention of murder-suicide

Easily Euphoric! It’s quite literally a romanticism of murder-suicide. I’m both proud and ashamed 😅.

Fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

That depends who you ask, but it’s probably a toss up between Watching the Fire Glow and Morning Light. The former is definitely more rom-comy, but it’s set in canon-verse, and my mind can’t help but assume that Praimfaya would still eventually ruin everything. In my opinion, Morning Light has the best ending cause ***SPOILER ALERT*** it’s a modern, domestic fluff AU, so they’re in the safest setting and are engaged by the end. Or maybe I just feel this way cause canon-verse is too painful now. But I’m going with Morning Light.

Do you write cross-overs?

I’ve never written one before, and I highly doubt that I would. I don’t think my obsessive compulsive brain could handle it 😂.

When I was 15 and bored at a school swimming carnival, I thought I could write a book about a teenage girl’s favourite fictional characters coming to life and helping her work through her depression, but then I realised it would be illegal cause of copyright. Still, it would work for a fanfic 🤔

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

It wasn’t exactly hate, but I did receive criticism for tagging Clexa in a Bellarke fic, though I stand by my reasoning.

Do you write smut? If so, kind?

I’ve never published a smut fic before. Whether I’ve written one is a different story 😉. And if I were saying that I’ve written but not published smut before, I would say that it was sibling incest smut for the book Across the Void from the Choices fandom.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

If I have, no one told me.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Again, not to my knowledge.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope, and I’m not sure I should. My writing is very personal to me.

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

I mean, I HOPE I get back to Rage one of these days, but I know what I’m like 🙃

What are your writing strengths?

Oh gosh, I’m too modest for this 😂. I think it’s setting the scene. I know I struggle with actually figuring out plots, but I have fun painting a picture in my mind of what it looks like.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Biggest weakness is plot. The reason I usually post one-shots is cause I can usually only come up with a concept short enough to be started and finished in one sitting. Like, there’s never a big twist or serious character development cause it’s almost always over in under 3k words. I’d like to get better at that, I just have no motivation these days.

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

I appreciate writers who do it cause it really fleshes out the characters and universe. At the same time, I usually only do it for words and phrases that I know or are common knowledge within the fandom cause English is my only language and I don’t want my fics to read like I just Googled the translation for a real language.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Snow White, December 3rd 2019. I don’t know if there’s an actual fandom for Snow White stories, but that’s what I did.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

Morning Light is my favourite complete fic, and if I ever finish it, then Rage will be my favourite. I love the softness of Morning Light so much, but I’m wrapped up in the angsty concept of Rage, I just need to force myself to actually keep it going!

Thanks for the tag! It’s been so long so I have no idea who’s done this already, but what the Hell 😆 @carrieeve @sparklyfairymira @excuseyouclarke @burninghoneyatdusk @useyourtelescope and anyone else who wants to do it!

Tagged by both @frankenjoly and @laianely. Awwww, thank you so much guys ;) I’m happy to volunteer. And I know I’m late with this response, sorry for that.

what’s your all-time favourite ship?

Oh boy that is a tough cookie to answer… Do you mean like in generall or from what I have written? Let’s do both, so I’m safe XD

Written:

Rhysha (obviously)

Scarleona (You can’t expect me to create a whole ship dynamic and not gosh about it ;) )

Generall:

Rhysha

Kat/Raven

Wrightorth

BBRae (got hooked into them after a comic of them dropped recently)

Chenrich

Side not, I absolutely do love Ships like Gaigel, Zaneisha, Erin/Zane, and a wagonload more. I’m ship trash XD

how many works do you have on ao3?

So far it’s 4. I’m still a latebloomer as a fic author so to speak. I just started at the end of last year, when my friend @michellespenscratchz gently pushed me into the cold water of writing fic XD

what’s your total ao3 word count?

25254 at the moment. Less that I would’ve liked to have, but also more than I expected lol

what are your top five fics by kudos?

I dunno how to answer that to be honest, since I only have 4 fics so far…

Also my 5 favorites or the Top 5 in terms of recognition? Let’s do it real quick for statistics sake:

Strays of the Pack

Zane’sational Encounter

Star of the Bounty Down

Wild Misfortune

do you reply to comments, why or why not?

Uuuuh, YES. I mean is there anyone who doesn’t like getting comments? No jokes aside, but I absolutely jump my seat, when someone comments on my work (art stuff included) And I sometimes write whole essays back to the people who gave their time to say something nice :D So yeah, I love it.

fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Half of my fics aren’t even finished. And the other two have either a happy ending, or an open ending, so I’m gonna go skip that answer.

fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

As for which story does have the happiest ending NOW, I’ma go with “Wild Misfortune”. And this may also be one of my favorite stories to write so far, cause of all the fun I had with it :D

do you write crossovers?

Well I did a little art trade for my friend @piaart named Zane’sational Encounter, if that counts? It’s still within the same borderlands universe, but the first time, I did something with another persons OC characters :D another Story I had an absolute blast with.

have you ever received hate on a fic?

Luckily never on a fic, no. I received some death threats a while ago, for liking Rhysha and supporting a friend. So there is that.

do you write smut? if so what kind?

Nah, I have to pass on that. I did two soft art pieces a while ago, but nothing really smutty or that naughty. I’m usually more focused on writing fluff and comfort.

have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope, Zilch.

have you ever had a fic translated?

Uhm, I’m technically a foreigner, and translate them in my head and write them out in english instead of my actual native tongue. Does that count?

have you ever co-written a fic before?

I volunteered and also had some very nice interactions with some Beta-Readers for me, and also I beta’d for a friend as well.

what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Oh god, like every one of them right now XD I have a tight period of time lately, cause University is kicking but. But I will get there in time. I have some vacation for the next 2 weeks so I’m gonna focus and do more of the fun stuff, I didn’t had time before. I hope my beta’s still know who I am, after all this time XD

what are your writing strengths?

One of my biggest strengths is I think writing relations and dynamics, that no one dared to try. Heck I created 2 whole story Idea Headcanons on exactly this premis, even created a new ship :D And, when the muse kicks in I’m also very good at exploring braveness and psychological struggle. Chapter 2 and 4 of Strays of the Pac are my most well received chapters I’ve ever written so far, and I’m very proud of that.

what are your writing weaknesses?

Sometimes, I get the feeling, I’m writing a little too soft (not really child books soft, but…) I did pretty well on writing character interactions, and then when I look back into it, I go, it feels natural but not completely how they would interact in the game, which is almost impossible, cause the Borderlands universe is very weird to explain sometimes XD Also I’m not really that comfortable with writing anger, hate and such. My beta for Wild Misfortune had a pretty bad time, on one marshmallow scene, because of it.

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

Like I mentioned earlier, all of my works are written in another language. As for the question: I like to think, that writing dialogue comes rather easy for me, and at this point I face pretty much the same struggles, I’d also have If I’m writing it in native tongue. There are some dialogue interactions that can be a mess to write, like anger/banter and proper angst (which doesn’t feel forced or predictable).

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

I began with the Borderlands fandom, almost a year ago (damn time flies) and sticked with it :)

what’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

Like both @frankenjoly and @laianely, I like to skip that answer ;) I don’t wanna choose cause I love them all.

Thank you that was a total blast <3 As for tagging, I see that most of my mutuals were already been tagged by now, mmmh. I think I go with @annalyticall @ging-ler @heavybreathingcatt and @mauserfrau and @crimsonflame-and-goldenheart ;)
