1, 4, 7, 8, 13, 18, 24, 26😻😻

haha, i feel like i mightve answered some of these in the long ago, but yknow what i LOVE repeating myself repeating myself, LET'S GO <3

1. Is there anything that upsets you about reading fanfiction?

well, not having much time to read fic when im writing upsets me haha (i think im gonna have to start withholding fic for carrots again o no).

mm, there are handlings of/(particularly violent) topics which tend to upset me in stories generally, and ff isn't different?

& certain things can upset (or maybe annoy more?) me cos of prevalence -- for example, beth thinking she’s not attractive/rio wouldnt be attracted to her is pretty commonplace in gg fics. in and of itself a fic which includes that isnt necessarily going to weary me, but ive come across it a lot, often twined with fatphobia and/or ageism so my tolerance is pretty low? see also: beth is violently narratively punished post s2 finale; rhea is a horrible bitch and/or the obstacle which must be overcome to get the brio hea; dean is physically abusive; annie is stupid and annoying; beth learns to become a perfect parent from rio; rio speaks in a special dialogue of his own which is mostly composed of apostrophes; annie/terrible man; canon beth and rio are really good at communicating all of a sudden for no particular reason; amber/dean

4. Have you ever assumed you wouldn’t like a fic and then read it and been very right?

so yes, but more like started reading it and found i was right and stopped. and actually what’s interesting, is that sometimes ive tried the fic again later & liked it! so i think sometimes it’s not so much that i definitively wouldnt like it so much as wouldnt like it AT THAT TIME. (for example, i find lack of punctuation v difficult to parse in a story if im tired, but if im more awake, it doesnt bother me so much)

7. Is there a trope you cannot understand why anyone would like?

nah, i have v few hard lines in the sand really, it’s all abt the execution!

like i personally find daddy kink espec for canon brio pretty unappealing, but ive read some fics where it was tied to a weird parenting kink where i thought it worked well! i’d totes be up for reading fic abt one or both of (particularly canon) them being surprised theyre into it??? and also obvi daddy beth.

 also, im told there are ppl other than me in the world with their own tastes, lol.

8. Do you assume you can tell the age of the author (and/or other biographical details) when you’re reading a fic?

yeah, there’s a hopefulness which i tend to associate with youth, lol. but also, one can generally tell when they’re watching/reading something made by a man/white/straight/able-bodied/gentile/cis/thin etc person, right -- i can’t see why ff would be any different?

i’ll notice fluency with a topic i think, but idk that i’d necessarily assume concretely abt that? like if someone writes children or hospitals or driving well im not automatically convinced they’re a parent or medical professional or perennial car thief, but i probs wouldnt be surprised to discover this?

& i can generally tell whether someone’s a native english speaker (you get different types of errors), and i think particularly bc as im not american trying to write americans im quite aware of it, i can tell american authors from brits etc etc etc

13. What is your fave fandom to read fic of, and WHY?

gg! i found gg/fic at a time when i really needed to and it’s a source of cheer

18. Do you remember the first fic you read?

no! im not even sure what fandom it was for??? brain’s going in my old age

24. Do you eat while reading, and if so has this ever led to any mishaps?

forks + flailing is a poor combo!!! salad everywhere!!! but i love eating!!! what you gonna do??!

26. Have you ever had a dream about a fic you read? WHAT HAPPENED??

idk, i rarely remember my dreams :( i do think i write in my sleep sometimes tho!
