Hi hi! For the fic ask game: 😈, 💖, and 💌!

- @the-frankenman-writes

eeeeeeeeeeeeee thank you so much for the ask!!!!

😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

That's a good question! I've definitely had certain pieces of feedback in mind while working on new chapters and such, but I don't know that I've ever done it directly ahahaha. I did have a comment directly calling me mean once which I took as a compliment, however. Beyond that, boy does a bitch love giving her chapters cliffhanger endings ahahahaha.

💖 What made you start writing?

Besides coming from a long academic career which hinged entirely on my ability to write good papers (which I can, tyvm, lol), writing for me started back as a teen! I used to mess around with writing Pokemon fanfic/let's play hybrid stuff during my fan forum days, but in terms of actually engaging seriously with it as a creative endeavor I started because I partially wanted to redevelop my love for the written word (something I lost after long years of battles with my mental health as well as the grindset that was college and grad school) and partially because I wanted to give my ideas a place to live. I have way too many of them and know that it's better for me as a person to let them out and sharpen my own creative abilities (also important for my career). I guess the answer is "i write because it makes me feel better" hahahaha.

💌 How do you feel about comments and feedback?

Awhahahahaha maaaaaan dude, comments and feedback are what I live for. I know it's considered poor form to have this be a priority but I can't help it dude. The knowledge that a piece of art I made just for fun connected with another human being enough for them to go out of their way to make sure I know it did just that makes me so damned happy. I'm not the most social of people IRL so it always brings a huge smile to my face when I receive those reminders that my personal voice matters and can still reach people even when it feels like it doesn't or can't. I love my commenters to bits.
