#omg the ffnet notification

[not-poignant]

Hi Pia! I just dug into an old email account and saw a ffnet notification for ch 13 of FtDWR back in 2013, and I’ve been following your stuff ever since into Fae Tales and most recently TGA!! I love love love your writing & I love Everything you do? I hope this is a good year for you & I hope you get to do things that make you happy!!

Homg that is a while! What an adventure! I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for so long and some of yall haven’t gotten bored yet like that is an accomplishment anon and I am here for it like *high fives*

I hope this is a good year too! I mean so far it’s kind of been the pits, but hey, there’s still some time left for it to redeem itself! Lol. (And actually, even with it being a shitty year, there’s been great folks in it and I’ve still been able to write and share that writing so very good things are happening too).

Fic Writer Interview

tagged by @amysnotdeadyet​

Tumblr apparently only sends me, like, every third notification, so I’m catching up on some stuff. Here goes!

name: fiamac (Tumblr) or FiaMac (AO3), but you can call me Fia

fandoms: Inception continually, Teen Wolf obsessively, and Black Butler periodically. With deep dives into Supernatural, OMG Check Please!, plus some randos, and nostalgic forays into Sherlock, SG-1, Harry Potter, etc.

where you post: AO3 exclusively now, although my old stuff on ffnet is still up under TheBooknerd

most popular oneshot: If we’re looking at true oneshots, it would be the smutastic fic I wrote for @oceaxe-ifdawn, The Tightest Fit. But the first fic in my never-ending Psycho Heroes series, It’s Just a Twitch, is still my top scorer.

most popular multichapter fic: By far, it’s The Fall Makes You Break, part 11 of Psycho Heroes. Much bamf and bow-chikka-bow-bow going on in that fic.

fics you were nervous to post: It’s Just a Twitch was my first posting on AO3, my first effort at writing in a new fandom, and my first completed story in years. After I finished writing, I sat on it for about a week and almost talked myself out of posting. I had just spent the months prior binging on tons of truly excellent fics in that fandom, and I was super nervous about bringing my meager offering to the cool-kids’ party.

how you choose your titles: I love coming up with titles and play with different methods. Sometimes from song lyrics, sometimes from passages in the fic. Sometimes from my love of puns (cough Portmanteaux cough).

do you outline: If by outline you mean spend days analyzing motivations, freewriting backstories for every character, designing maps and floorplans, making charts and timelines for plot points, curating playlists, color-coordinating my manuscript, and drafting four related fics concurrently... yeah, I do that.

favorite story you’ve written so far: Right now, it’s my Teen Wolf/Princess Bride fusion fic, As You Wish. It was a lot of fun to write and I reread it often.

complete: All my fics on AO3 as of now are complete, although Psycho Heroes and Portmanteaux With Love have more fics in the works.

in progress: I’m working on the next 10 Psycho Heroes installments (yes, all at the same time because I’m a fool), a Teen Wolf/Inception crossover, a sequel to my Maybe This Supernatural fic, and an original fiction about a dude who has a threesome with a demon.

coming soon: Ish? Soonish? I’m drafting part 22 of Psycho Heroes, in which Arthur has a bad reaction testing a new compound and can’t wake up from the dream.

prompts: I’m already loaded up with wips and don’t really take prompts. But sometimes I get inspired/distracted and write comment fics, or @iamanonniemouse throws her weight around and convinces me make good on promises.

Omg, I'm cleaning my inbox and reading all the emails from ffnet and AO3, I realized I'm really that kind of author, huh? To anyone that has ever liked a story of mine, I am SO sorry. I have received support for my stories and I just suddenly lose the drive to continue them anyways. I swear to God, I will continue "Descent" even if it kills me!

I feel bad because once in a while I'll receive a notification that someone is following the fic and I just want to sink in my seat out of shame XD

And it's not that I don't want to update them, I just have no motivation for previous fandoms. Gosh, after completing the stories I can, I should really stick to oneshots.
