20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks for the tag @lizzy0305! 😘

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

118 altogether. Some old Marvel fics, some meta...107 of them are HP fics.

2. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently only Harry Potter, though I've got some old Marvel ones up.

3. Top five fics by kudos:

Oh hey! It's changed since I last checked...my Top 5 used to be all from the Yes, Daddy series, but a couple of others broke through! Now we have...

Daddy's Boy

Obscene

Daddy Knows Best

Breed Me, Daddy

Contempt

4. What’s your total ao3 word count?

749,120 as of now!

5. Do you respond to comments?

I do my best to! I've had a hard time keeping up with it lately, but my goal is to get to them all eventually...I want all of my commenters to know how very much I appreciate them!!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Haha...haha...huh. Idk. I write too much angst 😭 How am I supposed to pick? I think either A Matter of Time or In My Veins (In My Blood) are probably the worst 2, maybe?

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

...do I write happy endings? Jk, jk...Oh yeah! The Curse of Anteros for sure has a happy ending. A well earned one at that!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Sometimes! Collateral Damage got some hate for a certain twist 👀 Most of my dead doves get weird comments, because I don't pull my punches. The odd weird or rude comment scattered elsewhere. I try to handle it with grace, but honestly I'm a big ole sensitive baby so...🥲

9. Do you write smut?

Oh hell yeah 😈

10. Craziest crossover?

No crossovers really, though I want to write a HP + PJO crossover one day...

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of, and may it stay that way.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yep! And I'm super honored by it!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, not yet! But I'd like to one day.

14. All time favourite ship?

Snarry 4 life.

15. What’s a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Probably old ones from my earlier days, but anything I've posted within the past few years I fully intend on finishing. Even if smile with sweet surprise only gets 1 update a year 🤣

16. What are your writing strengths?

idk 🥲 umm...I write emotions pretty well I think. I write angst pretty well especially. I really care about the characters and portraying them as honestly as I can, and as real as I can, accepting all of their humanity, good and bad.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Hmm. I don't think I could write fluff to save my life...I've made some attempts but 😂 I struggle a lot with my work for various reasons, none of them easy to put a name to. I do have a hard time balancing the idea of...wanting to leave a lot to implication, but trying not to be so subtle people don't actually have a hope of catching on at all. (Thank god for beta readers.)

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

I like it, but I worry about Google Translate failing me 😭

19. First fandom you wrote in?

Harry Potter!

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

For sure it's Contempt, and its counterpart Devotion. Truly the story of my soul. All of my feelings about Snarry poured into it. 20+ years of passion and devotion to this pairing! I'm not sure I could love anything more or be prouder of anything more. (Though I do think The Curse of Anteros is my best work, but Contempt/Devotion will always have my heart!)

[harpywritesfic]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Occupational Hazards has taken up my writing brain for so long that I barely remember what else I’ve written 🥲

Wait, new problem. I’m looking at my ao3 and most of my fics are old and I don’t even like them that much anymore 😭 looking back on old work is always tough but it’s because I’ve improved, right? I hope that’s why.

Occupational Hazards

(7k, Ironstrange, h/c, comedy)

I worked HARD on this one and I’m proud of it. It’s my longest fic at 7k and it’s got 69 kudos right now. My favorite tag on it is “Petplay mention (approved by management)”. It’s a gift fic and the recipient okayed my petplay joke.

2. When you’re drunk, every idea is a good idea

(1k, Tony and Scott, crack-ish)

I had so much fun writing this one but it hasn’t gotten much attention. Uncommon pairing I guess. It’s just Tony and Scott getting drunk and doing dumb shit. It’s fun. Favorite tag: “non-sexual whipped cream”.

3. Is Garlic Bread A Concern?

(3k, Ironstrange, h/c mostly?)

This one’s two years old but it gets extra points for being a vampire fic. For all my obsession with vampire Stephen, I’ve only written one vampire fic. Favorite tags: “Blood, obviously”.

4. Pain’s an old friend

(2k, Ironstrange, h/c)

One of the old ones but I don’t hate it. I mean, two years isn’t really that old but it feels old to me. That’s when I started posting things. This was like, my fourth fic. This one has one of my favorite comments, “I think I found the single most depressing Stephen Strange line ever...”.

5. Ulterior Motives

300, Ironstrange, smut that serves as comedy and is not sexy at all

Did you know that 50% of men over 50 have an enlarged prostate? Do you want to read what I wrote after learning that? Favorite tag: “I want you to remember this when I inevitably climb on my bottom Stephen soapbox”.

You know, when I started posting I thought I’d write a lot of h/c since that’s my favorite thing to read. But I’ve written so many silly little fun things. I have a million h/c wips, so I think it’s because I’m more likely to finish something exciting and funny. Curse my adhd! I can finish fun, quick, entertaining stories much easier, I guess. I get a shiny new crack idea and it takes over my mind. If you catch me writing a long fic it’s safe to assume I’ve been possessed.

Thanks for the ask!! Sorry I’ve been gone lately, I don’t even have a good reason.

[peskellence]

Tag games-Ask a fic writer

Thank you @sunwarmed-ash for the tag! 💖

1. How many works do you have on ao3?

13 on my current account, so not a massive amount 🫣 I'll level with you fine people, I have been guilty of committing the sin of deleting fics (or entire accounts) when I decide I'm no longer proud of them... I've never done it with any of my DBH stuff, but I have done it for basically all other fandoms I've been involved in. I have since learned the error of my ways and to orphan rather than delete after losing some of my all time faves to other writers doing the same 💔

2. What fandoms do you write for?

Active - Detroit: Become Human (also toying with the idea of writing some BG3 fics... 👀 I blame my Neil Newbon fixation)

Former (may return to) - Ace Attorney (AA)

Former (will not be returning to) - MHA, Death Note, Hetalia, Teen Titans.

3. Top five fics by kudos:

With Love, Signal Red - AA

More Than Our Parts - DBH

With Love, Miles Edgeworth - AA

With Love, Phoenix Wright - AA

Part Of You - DBH

4. What's your total ao3 word count?

234,659 (almost half of that consists of a single story 🙈)

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try my very best! Someone it takes me a while though 🙏

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

It's probably a toss up between stay with me. (DBH) or With Love, Phoenix Wright (AA) - although I'd argue that the latter doesn't count because it's a prologue to a longer story, so not really an 'ending'

I also wrote a DBH flavoured retelling of Carrie once—a fic request called GAVIN. For anyone familiar with the story of Carrie...yeah, you already know that doesn't end well. 😬

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

You see I love me some 'angst with a happy ending', so a lot of fics I commit to follow that formula. I'll say that More Than Our Parts has the happiest ending, just because of the sheer scale of Hell everyone went through in order to get there 🥲

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have received criticism on my works before, but nothing I'd say was intentionally hateful.

(Unless you're counting some of the reviews on my ancient FF.net account—but I was 14-15 when I wrote most of those stories, and I'm going to put up my hands and say the hate is 100% valid 🙃)

9. Do you write smut?

Is it even one of my fics if I don't shoehorn some smut into it? 🤷

10. Craziest crossover?

That would be the only (technical?) crossover of Detroit Become Human x Carrie

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not 😭

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

I have not—if that ever happened I would probably be so flattered that I'd just keel over and die 💖 (affectionately)

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have not, although I imagine that would be fun! I'm open to offers if any fellow authors are interested 🫣

14. All time favourite ship?

Ughhh, do not make me choose just one...I'm going to bend the rules and give three different answers according to slightly different criteria 🤏

First Ship I Ever Wrote For/Got Invested In-

Beast Boy / Raven (DC/Teen Titans)

Ship That Got Me Through A Difficult Time/Ultimate Comfort Ship-

Phoenix Wright / Miles Edgeworth (Ace Attorney)

Current Favourite-

Gavin Reed / RK900 (DBH)

15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

That knowledge stays between me and the unhinged notes app I keep on my phone

16. What are your writing strengths?

(Self promotion makes me uncomfortable one sec—) I would say my characterisation/dialogue and vocabulary? I have also been informed that I am good at 'setting the scene', creating for immersive backdrops.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Awkward sentence structure, spelling and grammar (I use a checker for that) and both over describing with lots of fluff and under describing with flat descriptions. I can never get the balance right 😭😭😭

I also have a nasty habit of reworking things constantly, as well as being overly ambitious with my ideas and then worrying the pay off is disappointing 🥲 meaning it takes several decades to publish anything.

18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

When I tell you I was balls deep in the Hetalia fandom during the latter half of my teens— I am extremely familiar with language switches in dialogue, does not bother me in the slightest.

(please add translations at the end though 🙏🙏)

19. First fandom you wrote in?

The OG Teen Titans cartoon from the 2000's 🫡 I embrace my heritage, but also will not be directing anyone to my ancient FF.net account as it makes me want to peel off my skin and jump out the nearest window.

(I have long since forgotten the log in details, so it will exist as an enduring time capsule to the time I was a moody teenager blasting MCR on the playground and complaining that no one understood me.)

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Perhaps it's recency bias, but I am going to say More Than Our Parts. I poured my heart and soul into that story and I'm (mostly) very proud of it.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you for the tag @thegreatwicked :)

1. How many works do you have on AO3? Three

2. What's your total A03 word count? Just over 65K

3. What fandoms do you write for? Just Star Wars, right now.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

I only have 3 total fics 😅 but I'll list them in order of kudos:

Water and Rock - Obi Wan x Reader, slow burn with smut

Four Hours - Din Djarin x Reader, basically a one-off but in two chapters, porn with minimal plot

Pretty Young Thing - Obi Wan x Reader, one-off, porn with almost no plot

5. Do you respond to comments? Yes! I really appreciate people taking the time to comment, so I certainly want to let them know 💜

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? In the Star Wars fandom, I don't have any multi-chapters with endings, so I'll say Water and Rock since it contains the most angst lol

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Pretty Young Thing is just shameless wish fulfillment on my part lmao

8. Do you get hate on fics? This is so funny and I'm glad I get a chance to answer it - yes! I've written for several fandoms in the past and had mild criticism, and a long time ago there was actually ~drama within the same realm as my work, but not directed at me. However! I very nearly stopped posting after only two chapters in the Star Wars fandom because I immediately got an incredibly rude DM right off the bat. Honestly, it stung to the point I wasn't interested in sharing more. But after that, I received so many other kind comments it really turned things around and made me want to continue. I'm so grateful for all the sweet messages and comments you guys send. It makes it fun to share, which of course is what fanfic is all about :)

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Absolutely, yes. I write F/M currently although in the past I've also written M/M. I just don't feel as comfortable or good at it. I like vanilla stuff for the most part with some kinks, but I'm not really into BDSM or anything that includes violence beyond mild things.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I have, but not for Star Wars. In a past fandom, I wrote a crossover for Futurama that was very fun. Nothing smutty, just for laughs.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware. One of the funniest crimes, though, if you ask me. Not to anyone who's had a stolen fic. That must feel awful. But for the person stealing someone else's work and taking credit? What on earth could you be trying to accomplish with that?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Yeah, I had a 30-something chapter AU once upon a time that was completely translated into Russian. I didn't even find out until a few years later that it was on a Russian website with like a devoted readership and the translator giving author's notes on what they felt I was trying to convey in certain chapters. It was overwhelmingly flattering, but also strange that the translator never tried to reach out to even speak to me about it lol. Still, an amazing feeling, that someone enjoyed my writing enough to translate it for others. Gets me choked up 🥲

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes, I was once a part of a 4-person google doc collab for a fic and it was unbelievably fun.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship? All TIME? That is a tall order. I have to cheat and give multiple answers, I'm so sorry. I think it was @pickleprickle who mentioned Diana×Worf from Star Trek TNG and I absolutely love them.

Ben and Leslie from Parks & Rec.

A niche mention, but: Aloy and Kotallo from Horizon Zero Dawn (the videogame). I am OBSESSED with their dynamic and clawing, gnashing, biting, etc that it's not canon.

And since I just finished the Chiss Ascendancy Trilogy: Thalias and Samakro girlies please rise up, I am so in love with them 😭

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Speaking of Thrawn... still have a fic with him on the back burner, and I don't ever know that it will get posted.

I also have a smutty Obi Wan one-off that was started ages ago, like 4-5 months ago or something and I'm about 50% sure it won't get finished but I really really want to. I keep coming back to it but never finishing which is VERY ironic considering it's... uh... it's edging.

16. What are your writing strengths? I feel like my answer to this could change based on the time of day lol but I will say I feel strongest when writing dialogue and I've had the most compliments regarding characterization.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Oh, where to begin? 😄 I definitely suffer from the classic overuse of commas. My setting descriptions leave a lot to be desired, and I really wish I made more use of similes. I once had my work described as "clinical" regarding an interaction between two characters. I like to think I've learned and grown since then, but I still find myself jealous of people who are skilled with real, fleshed out, poetic descriptions.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? All depends on the writer. I know people who are amazing at it, and it comes off as natural. Myself? Not so much. And I wouldn't care to attempt it, tbh.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Listen... it was a long time ago...

Inuyasha 🧍

20. Favourite fic you've ever written? My all-time favorite is from an old fandom I don't particularly like to engage with anymore, and it's sadly no longer posted for that reason. I will say my current favorite fic is Water and Rock and I can't wait to post the next update. :)

No pressure tags! @cosmicsierra @djarins-cyare @grapenehifics @firstofficerwiggles @spicemaidenfic @eveningserenityyy

[seiwas]

hi sel!! #3, 23, & 24 for the end of year fanfic asks please!!

noos!! aaah thank you for sending 🥺

send me any number from this fanfic writer ask game!

#3 favorite line/scene you wrote this year

omg a favourite line is impossible bc i sadly forget what i write the moment i hit post 🥲 but i will say!! one of my fave scenes to write was the car scene from this megumi fic 🥺 mostly because it's personal to me!!

And you think, with your music playing over the comfortable silence you’ve built, being in his passenger seat one too many times—this feels nice.  Any other day and you’d hate traffic as much as the next person, but not right now.  Megumi’s eyelashes are long, pretty, stretching on for miles—and you wonder if this drive with him can extend to the length of them, if you can stay in this traffic jam a little longer just to be in this moment with him.  “Sorry, are you cold?” Megumi asks, interrupting your stare.

i always try to include 1-2 lines that feel ~satisfying bc i think my sentence constructions are really simple!! so to add some kind of dynamic to it i guess!!

#23 fics you wanted to write but didn’t

omg my wip list grows by the day noos 🥺 i wanted to write my ex!bakugo fic this year but am so intimidated by him that i struggle to start even tho i have everything in place alr 😭

there's also an escort!reader x nanami idea that i have but will probably never write 🥹 it's a skill gap on my end i think sfbsdhfsj idt i'm a good enough writer to give justice to that kind of concept!!

also wanted to write more for my iwa series this yr but figured i'd wait till next year when the hq hype comes back!!! (am gonna re-edit everything!! might reformat it too)

#24 favorite fic some unforgettable fics you read this year

noos... you opened a dam with this question... how can i possibly just choose one... are you kidding me... i can't choose one... so i'm putting everything under the cut... gonna give myself 5 per fandom 😭 (you can tell im very partial to friends to lovers 😭😭😭)

also!! there are a lot of fics in my tbr that i haven't gotten to yet!! and everything i reblog is pretty much a fic i recommend 🥹

[xilianx]

AO3 ASK GAME DO THEM ALL DO THEM ALL NEOW ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥 (pls)

I AM...SO LATE AHHHH IM FINALLY GETTING THROUGH THESE I'M SO SORRY!!!

Just saw these 20 Questions for Fic Writers and decided I wanted to do it so ....... here it is! Lmao.

How many works do you have on AO3?

20!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

513,741 words…oh lawd

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I’ve written for Godzilla in the past but now I write just for Bayonetta! More will come eventually…if my hyperfixation can be dethroned lol

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

The Witch of Causality (Bayonetta 3 reimaging/re-work)

Some Words Left Unsaid (AncientBayonetta AU where shit almost went reaaaaally bad for BayoJeanne)

Down By The Red Poppies (Sequel fic to “Where the Lobelia Would Grow, more Bayonetta AU)

Where The Lobelia Would Grow (First ever fic I wrote for the Bayonetta fandom!)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes! I try to at least. I love getting comments on my fics (i mean, what fic author doesn’t???) And I love all the support that’s given and the fact someone takes time to leave me a comment, long or short, just makes my day 😭😭 I’m sorry to those who comment that I hadn’t replied too or haven’t too yet. I promise you I appreciate them so much ❤️

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ooooooo….I wanna say either ‘Vessel’ or ‘Forgotten Visage’. Both have pretty harsh endings that only insulate that it leads to more pain later. ‘Vessel’ is just straight up a Soulsbourne boss style fight with all the tragedy of a Soulsbourne boss fight tied in, and ‘Forgotten Visage’ is just sad AU of what evil Balder was doing right after Rosa died…so yay, they don’t go anywhere sad. BUT IF I HAD TO CHOOSE….I’m gonna throw it at Vessel lol

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Idk if I’m gonna get some hate from certain oomfs from this, but I’m gonna say ‘Down By The Red Poppies’ has one of the happiest BECAUSE of everything that had happened to all the characters throughout the fic (And even the first fic!) and making it in the end. There was def a lot of hurt and pain and angst throughout Lobelia and Poppies, but I think the ending the fic made it all the worthwhile and despite the pain/tragedy, it’s gonna be okay 🥲

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, not really. Not that I’ve ever seen!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I have written smut ONCE!...It was the last half of one chapter out of a 117,000 word fic…HAVE I ATTEMPTED TO WRITE MORE SMUT SINCE, YES AND I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO FINISH IT YET!! The smut in Red Poppies was my first ever smut and it was, like, tender and sweet?? But the Balrosa smut that I have a low simmer is def meant to embarrass that fucking twink lol

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

I haven’t, and don’t plan to!! Not my thing, to read or write.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t think so, not that I am aware of…

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Another one that’s; if any of them are, I’m not aware of it!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, I haven’t done anything like that yet! Would be cool to do it, if given he chance!!

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

YOU ALREADY KNOW!!! BRING EM OUT, TOMMY:

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Ohhhhhh hohohho hahaahah AHAHAHAHAAHAHAA!!! There’s so many lmao I have so many that are stuffed in folders and forgotten about. There’s a few multi-chapter ideas I wanted to try and do, but with Witch of Causality going on rn (and going on for awhile now) I doubt I’ll ever start them for long long time… (Chinese BayoJeanne AU fic based off of Causality, etc).

But if there is a KING of unfinished WIPS…it’s my now long forgotten Godzilla Final Wars fics from years prior. Sucks because I got to fic 3 out of the trilogy, but I’m just not in it anymore…wish I had the willpower to finish it, but alas, never will.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Lots of my oomfs say all my fight scenes actually ‘feel’ like what Bayonetta fights, so I wanna say I write fight scenes pretty well!! I would say characterization, but I’m only comfortable with a few, not all…

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

looks at long list of comments and notes from my beta reader for the the insane amount of grammatical errors, structure errors, and sentences that just make no sense uhhh….so yeah, I kinda fuck up the actual writing aspect a lot asdjkasdsda

But seriously, I think sometimes (at least for recent, larger fics), I’ve had to pull back on the amount of filler that’s not necessary or structure of a chapter to make it actually make sense…(THANK YOU KELS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT, YOU KEEP SAVING MY ASS!!)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I think if you’re not super well-versed in the language, definitely consult or check with someone who knows!! Or do a bit of digging, especially if you plan on using quite a bit of it!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

GODZILLA!!! Funny enough, I have literally only ever written fics for the Godzilla fandom and Bayonetta fandom. I have read quite a bit for other fandoms, but Godzilla is my dear yee ol faithful!! (Funny enough, it’s specifically only for Godzilla Final Wars as well lol)

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

This one is actually hard…hmmm…It would have to be a tie between Lobelia/Red Poppies. I kinda put them in the same box, even tho they are 2 different fics. Honestly, it was just so fun coming in blind to a new fandom and just slapping together whatever I wanted to do because I really wanted to tell the story and had fun with it. I don’t even think it’s my best stuff, but damn nothing beats crashing into the Bayo fic community with a fic that just (spoilers) kills little Cereza in her own story and I have no regrets ASKJDSADHASDHA

THANK YOU FOR TAGGING ME IN THIS KELS!! I'm so late with this, and I feel like this has been tagged to other oomfs, so I will just leave this open to anyone who wants to do it!!

10, 17, 18, 25, 26

10. Has a piece of writing ever “haunted” you? Has your own writing haunted you? What does that mean to you? I think the reason the story exists in the first place is because on some level I was being haunted by the story. The character(s) is screaming at me to be heard, the story won't leave my thoughts until I write it down. It's happened with almost every single one of my stories. I will say Seokjin's Handshake particularly haunted me, as in when I dreamed about it I woke up sobbing and couldn't stop sobbing lol. Then when I finally wrote and edited the story I was in a moodTM for a long time 😅

17. Talk to me about the minutiae of your current WIP. Tell me about the lore, the history, the detail, the things that won’t make it in the text. Let's do Run Run Run, cause that is what I am currently writing to cleanse myself of King of Corruption lol. I AM going to write some more flashback scenes on y/n's time before meeting back up with BTS, but a lot of it was condensed into only a few paragraphs and I don't know if I will ever add it to the story even though I know what happened lol. She did a lot of training at the airport, getting herself in shape, because she realized all the job skills she acquired before the apocalypse were utterly useless now. One of her top motivations to do this was to become someone who didn't need anyone to protect her. Why? She had made a friend at the airport, an airport worker who had been hiding, but she was eventually turned into a zombie saving y/n's life. She had come across and befriended a dozen or so workers/people still hiding in the airport, who all ended up getting bitten quite quickly leaving her all alone. Now as you can tell she has a bit of a complex from it. Also, with all her "training," she managed to completely clear out the airport of zombies and bury the bodies so if anyone decided to go to the airport it would be one of the few very safe and secure locations!

18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. Spicy addition: Questioner provides the passage.

When it finally ends, you sigh, softly laughing. 

“Well, I’ve never gotten that reaction before.” You wish you could tell him that was your first orgasm in months that you didn’t have to coax yourself. You almost forgot how good an orgasm like that could feel, how freeing. 

Instead you look at him, a huge grin on your face and eyes sparking, admiring the man before you, happy it was Jungkook you found at the club and not a stranger.

No one has looked at him quite like that before, with starry-eyed reverence that makes everything feel so much more intimate, a deeper connection that he just isn’t used to. 

THE FANTASY WAS SUPPOSED TO BE HOSEOK'S STORY lmao what happened was a reader requested a Jungkook story, so I panicked and used this WIP for Jungkook instead since it was closet to being done, but c'mon now, tell me you don't see Hoseok all over this story? 😂😂 LOLOL and subsequently, I Thought You Were Mine? was supposed to be Jungkook's story 😂😂😂😂 but I think what happened was I noticed I had so many JK stories, so I switched it for Hoseok instead. Not that I don't think Hoseok is strong, but if anyone is hauling my ass up to the door frame, it's gonna be Jungkook 🤣🤣

25. What is a weird, hyper-specific detail you know about one of your characters that is completely irrelevant to the story? I will literally do everything and anything to mention the size of Jimin's fingers and I don't apologize for it 🥲🥲🥲🥲 and if it's not in the story, it's because it sure was there in the first place but I forced myself to edit it out lmao 😭😭

Jungkook’s long fingers reaching deeper than Jimin ever could.

Hoseok’s digits slippery and moving fast inside you, Jimin’s short fingers thrusting in hard, rocking you over Hoseok’s thighs.

26. How do you get into your character’s head? How do you get out? Do you ever regret going in there in the first place? How do you dream? For me, when I dream, I feel like I am teleported into that dream persona, I've been a man, a child, an old person, a murderer, and with that I have had all their memories, feelings, viewpoints, and it felt so goddamn real I've woken up and cried over it. I think I am basically doing the same when I am writing these characters, just letting them take me over for a bit lol, its easy to get out of it because most of the time I don't agree with my characters at all, some of my characters I hate lmao. Both y/n and Hoseok's characters from Day Dream I dislike, but also I understand their viewpoints so deeply because I took the time to get in their heads that I will defend their actions to readers, even if I personally would never lol and you know what? Readers seem to love them so at the end of the day, I don't regret it even if it is mentally draining, because it makes my story better lol.

Weird Questions for Writers (because writers are weird)

[martsonmars]

Hello hello!!! This week was exciting but exhausting (I moved into a new flat for uni!!! Finally living without my family, though I'll have flatmates from Friday 😭), so I'm happy it's over.

I have SO many fic deadlines coming up (a couple of secret projects with self imposed deadlines, COTTA in less than two weeks, prompt fest) and I have to get back to my COBB because I miss it, but I'm feeling weirdly confident that the change of environment will give me my creativity back. Maybe I'm wrong, but tonight/this morning I wrote an entire fic, so that's promising: went to sleep at 10pm, woke up at 2am and I wasn't tired anymore, so I started writing and I didn't stop until the fic was complete, which is something I wouldn't have been able to do at home, but now that I'm alone I can write all night and sleep during the day!!! Exciting!!! (At least until classes start 🥲)

So here is a longish snippet (carefully chosen by @johnwgrey because I didn't want to reread the whole thing) from said fic, which just needs some light editing and will hopefully be posted by the end of the day!

Baz presses his face deeper into the pillow, trying to drown out the low humming of the hoover that woke him up. He doesn’t understand why anyone would choose Sunday morning to do chores, when Sunday mornings clearly have the sole purpose of pretending the world doesn’t exist and sleeping in with your new boyfriend, but Baz will be the bigger person and won’t comment on it.

Let people decide how to spend their limited time on this cruel Earth — Baz knows he has his priorities set right.

Step one: snuggle closer to the warm body dozing off next to him.

Simon.

Even with his brain still clouded by sleep — Baz knows it can’t be later than 9, his body feels it and is screaming at him that it’s not natural to be anywhere but in dreamsworld this early in the morning, especially when the clock was slowly approaching a worrying 4 when he closed his eyes last night — Baz can relive every second of the previous day, sharp and crystal clear.

The lazy morning as Baz stared up at Simon with a stupid, blissed-out expression that would’ve made him gag just a couple of months before. (But dating Simon is also this — breaking out of his shell because he no longer feels like he should hide the softness of his heart. He knows Simon will cherish it with the same care he reserves for fragile shortcrust pastry.)

Tomorrow is the anniversary of my first Snowbaz fic, and I have an amazing surprise to share! I can't wait.

Tags and hellos under the cut! + bonus sentence from a secret WIP I'm excited about and terribly scared of 🤣

Bonus sentence:

@wellbelesbian @urban-sith @tea-brigade @sillyunicorn @mostlymaudlin @facewithoutheart @palimpsessed @otherpeoplesheartachept-2 @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @forabeatofadrum @johnwgrey @fatalfangirl @prettylightsbigcity @whatevertheweather @jbrrring @confused-bi-queer @moodandmist @bookish-bogwitch @letraspal @dragoneggo @captain-aralias @takitalks @theotherhufflepuff @otherworldsivelivedin @excalisbury @shemakesmeforget @starwarned @cutestkilla @ileadacharmedlife @gekkoinapeartree @bazzybelle @bloodiedpixie @stardustasincocaine @aroace-genderfluid-sheep @angelsfalling16 @basiltonbutliketheherb @messofthejess @ivelovedhimthroughworse @nightimedreamersworld @artsyunderstudy @foolofabookwyrm-activated @ionlydrinkhotwater @yellobb @orange-peony @ic3-que3n @whogaveyoupermission

[Redacted] stares down at the long blade pointing to his neck. He follows it to meet a pale muscled arm half covered in black cloth, and an equally pale face that screams annoyance more than murder, as if threatening [Redacted]'s life was just a mere inconvenience in the man's path.

We'll see if I ever write this.

[woofgang69]

Also, 1, 4, 9, 10 and 18 for the WIP ask, and specifically the fake dating one 👀 (it's nosy josh time)

Love nosy josh time 💕

1. Do you have an outline for your WIP, or are you making it up as you go?

I have an outline for it!! That’s pretty much all I have though 🥲

4. What percentage of your WIP do you think you have done so far?

Oh god like not even 1% 😂 sorry josh

9. What’s the biggest reason this project is still a WIP?

Honestly because the jjk brainrot had hit me hard 😭😂 I had hoped rarepair week would have fake dating so I could trick myself into prioritizing it. BUT my sweet and spicy bingo board has a square I’m using for this so a new, different motivation for it.

10. How do you usually keep yourself motivated?

Event deadlines! It’s why all my event fics usually get finished first and my other ones get pushed off

18. What is the last sentence you wrote for this WIP?

I’m doing the last two as the last one is practically meaningless 😂

Itachi loved his family more than anything in the world, but sometimes they felt like too much. There were just so many of them, and they were always getting together to celebrate something.

2021 Year End Fic Review

So @praetorqueenreyna decided to tag me without tagging me so here we are 🤣

How many stories did you complete?

Two. I finished a whopping two fics.

What is your total word count for the year?

……….8230. 🥲 I mean, more if you include the WIPs I absolutely shared content for but what is in a completed work? Yeah. Not even 10k words.

What fandoms did you write in this year?

I actually posted in two! ATLA and the MCU. XD

Less. So much less. It was a lot of things which contributed to that. I got a job, my grandmother moved in with me, I got depressed again….this year was just A Lot. So I wrote a whole lot less. I drew a whole lot less too. 🥲

What’s your own favorite story of this year?

The Way He Flies and while I still don’t love the title and long to think of one better suited to the story….I really love it. It was a concept I’d been really wanting to write and then a friend of mine (Amy 😘) gave me the perfect excuse and inspiration to write it!

Jetaang was the perfect debut to the fandom on Ao3!

What is your most under appreciated story of the year?

The Way He Flies! That shit has fourteen kudos and two comments (yall know who you are!! Forever thank you loves😘)….I’m sorry but that fic deserves a little more than that! I understand it’s a rarepair so I didn’t expect a LOT but damn didn’t even break 20 kudos and is up to 200+ hits. 😭 So seriously y’all if ya haven’t read it yet maybe give it a go?

What’s your most appreciated story of 2021?

Definitely the Ironstrange fic Ever A Sweet Victory. Which I did spend well over a year on so the love was absolutely warranted! Only just got to 1000 hits tho but the 100+ kudos defo made up for that. XD

Biggest fanfic related disappointment of 2021?

It will always be the lack of Aang centric fics and Aang rarepair fics!!!!! There are so many that deserve so much attention!!!

Biggest fanfic related surprise of 2021?

That I didn’t read as much as I wanted to. XP

Something you are looking forward to working on in 2022?

Top of the list is my Yuetara fic!!! And then I’d like to complete all the other fics I started this last year that I just…never completed. Even shit for friends I didn’t finish and I feel really terrible about it. 🥲 So! Yeah! I’d like to finish all of those! (And who knows maybe my first multi-chap will feature…also the BSD fics mayhaps 👀)

Tagging: @stargirl720, @thinkingisadangerouspastime, @azulaang-chakras, @athina39, @voodoosgirl1, and I guess whoever else wants to! Tag yourself!

ANNUAL WRITING SELF-EVALUATION

thanks melissa @estrangedlestrange for tagging me! ok *cracks knuckles* i guess we’re doing this

1. number of stories posted to ao3:

23……someone fucking restrain me pls

2. word count posted for the year:

165,511

i’m crying what is this😭😭😭😭😭😭

3. fandoms i wrote for:

pjo

4. pairings:

percy/annabeth

clarisse/silena

annabeth/reyna

poseidon/sally. (these are the main ones, i think)

5. story with the most…

kudos: Just Add Water

bookmarks: Just Add Water

comments: also Just Add Water el oh el

6. work i’m most proud of (and why):

it’s a tie between it feels so scary, getting old and the vine hanging over the door (both of them with titles taken by a lorde song💀) because i feel like i was so at peace with myself when i wrote them, and when i’m at peace with myself i just write like fjakdjasjsjsjsisnsk that bc i can’t stop and pure gold comes out <3 it’s a mix of nostalgia and pride of what i created. also they both have very specific aesthetics and Existential Themes that scream mari bc ofc they r my babies xxx

7. work i’m least proud of and why:

through the ruse i just feel like it’s a bit of a mess and i didn’t plan it properly nor did i make it interesting enough for me to keep going🤨 i really like the concept, though esp since during that time i kind of really wanted a bridgerton au. but like, i honestly don’t think i’m NOT proud of anything i’ve written (idk maybe) but that doesn’t mean i won’t cringe once in a while when i reread something i wrote lmaooo

8. share or describe a favorite review received:

there are plenty i’ve kept close to my heart but taylor miss @posallys gives the best reviews, and i’m still recovering from the one i got in the vine hanging over the door 😭😭😭 and this other one she wrote for the seaweed is always greener that had me dying eye-

also bonjobiggles idk if u have a tumblr but all ur comments are so sweet and gave me motivation to write more<3 like EXCUSE ME someone rereading my fic is just😭 also ash @skaterannabeth had me screaming crying after she left a comment on it feels so scary, getting old lov u <33 and how can i forget @jeanjacket-lesbian every time u comment my heart kinda goes like💗💗 one that had me sobbing tho was from an anon (for it feels so scary, getting old) bc wth how DARE u say such things and think it will be ok😭

9. time when writing was really, really hard:

i’d say most of the time but y’all will think i’m such a clown bc i literally have THIRTY works on ao3 and that is very much illegal but I SWEAR!!!! it’s so fuckin hard to write, like i feel like i can never finish things and my motivation comes and goes, and so does life so🤠🥲🥲

11. a favorite excerpt from your writing:

Their laughter carries on like music as the wind dances around its melody, drifting it up, up into the starry sky. (from it feels so scary, getting old haha typical😗)

tho i feel like anything from magnificently cursed bc i say so: But it was more than just the horror that connected them. In the vibrancy of Olympus, it felt like they were creating the beautiful moments, too. They’d become a luster that outshined the rust in their thread of life.

12. how did you grow as a writer this year:

dude i’ve improved so much it’s crazy. in 2020 when quarantine started and i also started writing fic it was like. my first time in a looong time of writing something in english and i had to search up so many words and shit but now…..it all comes like the tears of jesus istg lmaooo. i also feel like this year i really honed in my writing style, because in 2020 it was all over the place i’m sure, and now i can truly say that i have a specific way of writing (correct me if i’m wrong bc maybe it’s just me since m i’m a clown)

13. how do you hope to grow next year:

i’m copying annie bc i need to finish all my wips so i never write fic again i am BEGGING

14. who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

clown car (my frens) bc coincidentally they are all amazing writers and i love them very much. syd @annabethsinvibilitycap tho u make me especially evil and give me the silly little motivation to go unhinged in my writing 😛 as for other motivations, i think reading other works, fanfic or books and hmmm when folklore and evermore came out it was over for me so 💃🏽 also when i started listening to mitski

15. anything from your real life show up in your writing this year:

when sally kinda contemplates life as she watches the trash fly around during august (the vine hanging over the door.) yeah that was hashtag me too😔✌️ but yeah if u mean existential dread and all that good stuff it’s taken from my real life <3 and mostly the beginning of purple pink skies was 100% taken from my life haha….

16. any new wisdom you can share with other writers:

read lots of books lol i swear every time i do writing is so much easier bc im reminded of how words are supposed to um. work. and never write something you find slightly boring. just create the weirdest plot line or whatever, as long as it’s interesting to YOU and it’s fun to write for YOU and no one else.

17. any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) this year:

finishing any of my (existent) chapter fics bc i need them to stop haunting me in my sleep😭

18. tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read. (totally not required to do this y’all I always hate when things say you gotta do it):

@posallys @annabethsinvibilitycap @skaterannabeth and anyone who hasn’t done this feel free<33

[ashgryff]

AHHH TY FOR THE TAG @hannah-schooler I RLY WANTED TO DO THIS HAHAHA

how many works do you have on ao3?

currently i have 54!

what is your total ao3 word count?

68,758 that is a chunky number 😳

how many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

uhhh kinda 2???? star wars (mainly clone wars and sometimes rebels) and a little bit of marvel in a couple of crossovers

what are your top five fics by kudos?

you’d both be dead without me - lil thing i wrote for disaster trio appreciation week abt banter between ani, obi, and soka 🥰

I can’t help how much i care - zygerria but realistically protective anakin woowoo!

the first little sister in a big world of brothers - echo and omega bonding cuz echo is my favorite bad batcher and after the first episode i was rly excited to watch their relationship develop…. it didn’t much but i still love them 🥲

are we there yet? - road trip fic with obitine and snips and skyguy!

flesh and metal - short lil fic i wrote with ani as a human pillow for his siblings

do you respond to comments? why or why not?

yes i do!! i’m not a big talker irl unless i’m talking about one of my fandoms really so getting to talk to people about the same things that i love in the comment section?! DREAM COME TRUE.

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

look….. i am a fluffaholic. sorry not sorry. i don’t write angsty stuff often but i *did* do that in it’s me but i wish it wasn’t 🙃

do you write crossovers? if so what is the craziest one you’ve written?

sort of? i wrote a lil three-parter in my wattpad one shots book called “valentine’s day” about ahsoka and peter parker going out with tony and anakin as very protective fathers hahaha

ive also written anakin and ahsoka in the vormir scene from endgame, and the peter and tony meeting scene from civil war :)

have you ever received hate on a fic?

not that i can think of! everyone is so sweet i love them 🥺🥺

do you write smut? if so what kind?

i have never written smut, no. i don’t have any ships i rly think id be comfortable doing that for. i’m more of a platonic found family person, what can i say? 🤷‍♀️

have you ever had a fic stolen?

i don’t think so……..? but then again i guess the whole point of stealing is being sneaky so i wouldn’t know hahaha

have you ever had a fic translated?

i had someone request to translate some fics recently! not sure where they are in the process of that but we’ll see :)

have you ever co-written a fic before?

i started co-writing an marvel/star wars crossover with my bestie @secretlyaskywalker but we haven’t worked on it in awhile hahaha

but i think i’d be down if i’m comfortable with the concept if anyone wants to 😙✌️

what’s your all time favorite ship?

like i said - i’m much more of a found family person! but i do love me some kanera and obitine!

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

i don’t think i have any that i’m not planning on finishing at some point…i’m more of a procrastinator so though it’ll take me awhile i WILL finish my wips ��

what are your writing strengths?

idrk??? maybe like… just soft scenes in general?? i’m just trying to look at it from a reader’s perspective and that’s what people seem to enjoy the most - anything like….. comfort…y????? AHHH

what are your writing weaknesses?

tagging. titling. summarizing. first line. last line. DIALOGUE. vivid description. trying too hard and making it sound disgusting.

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

well as a star wars fic writer we’ve got a lovely array of fictional languages to choose from hahaha. as you all know, i do love me some anakin speaking softly in togruti to ahsoka 🤍🥺

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

oh GOSH probably harry potter but never on any fanfic websites lmao just randomly in my google docs in middle school AHHHH

what’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

DONT MAKE ME CHOOOOSE 😭 I HAVE A LOVE HATE RELATIONSHIP WITH ALMOST ALL OF THEM UGH

my favorite on my ao3 is probably my first fic on there: Together is Warm, which exists because i sat down for six hours and just wrote and it was awesome. i was so motivated and it was great.

on my wattpad (in the snips and skyguy one shots book of course), it’s gotta be Butterfly Kisses but honestly, i have written a LOT of one shots and i rly am proud of a lot of them. that’s just the first that came to mind of the good ones hahaha

thank you so much for tagging meeee 🥰 no pressure tags @ljbrary @anxiety-banana

Fic writer interview!!!

Thanks so much for the tag @stormwarnings sorry it took me so long to do this!!! <33

how many works do you have on ao3?

9!!

what’s your total ao3 word count?

39,086. huh somehow I expected it to be higher than that

how many fandoms have you written for, and what are they?

Just Star Wars! pretty much entirely The Clone Wars with all of my current fics and most of my WIPs focused on Anakin and Ahsoka

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

don’t just stand there staring, honey— a silly little fic about the Jedi and their troopers (Everybody Lives!AU) going undercover and they don’t understand that they’re all incredibly attractive. A sequel is coming….one day…

long after you’re gone (gone, gone)— 5+1; Five times Ahsoka left and the one time she came home. Happy ending, mostly

as if you don’t remember, as if you can forget—some post-Zygerria angst and healing. Aayla Secura and Ahsoka Tano centric. Lots of feels, angst, and hurt/comfort. Inspired by @webtrinsic1122 ‘s “Show Me Your Teeth”

once the last drop of rain has dried off the pavement— some MORE post-Zygerria recovery. This one is a little bit more pointed with what happened to Ahsoka and features a very distressed Anakin trying to figure out how to help his traumatized little sis. 

said you’d always be my white blood (i need you right here with me)—post Trandoshans/Padawan Lost arc. I LOVE this arc and there’s not nearly enough content about it. Wrote this to fill a tumblr prompt not long ago so I’m actually surprised it’s in my top 5!! Hurt/comfort, recovery, scary!Anakin and Ahsoka bringing him back from the edge

do you respond to comments? why, or why not?

Yes!! people take the time to write them and they make me so so indescribably happy! I literally end up gushing about readers leaving comments as much as they do about my work!

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Definitely Never Let Me Go, but that was also my first ever work, and not my best. Pretty much all of my works have at least hopeful endings, if not happy, but my angstiest fic is you drew stars around my scars (but now i’m bleeding) so I’m gonna say that one

do you write crossovers? if so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

no, never have. I don’t think I could do it well and there’s not really any fandoms that I want to see mixed together

have you ever recieved hate on a fic?

thankfully, no. I think I would cry ahahaa. My readers are literally some of the kindest people in the world I love you guys so much!!!

do you write smut? if so, what kind?

no. never say never, but it’s unlikely. again, I don’t think I would do it well

have you ever had a fic stolen?

not that i know of!

have you ever had a fic translated?

nope!

have you ever co-written a fic before?

no but i’d probably be down!

what’s your all-time favorite ship?

like….ever?? idk if i can pick! Star Wars though is hard bc i’m not the hugest anidala fan but also don’t really ship Anakin with anyone else. I like Ahsoka ships, just cause she’s my favorite character, but not all of them work. My guilty pleasure ship is probably fives/ahsoka, but there’s not a lot of content for them. i’ll pretty much read anything that’s well written except for the ones that i really don’t like (not going to list, no hate here!)

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

ugh right now it feels like i will never finish the don’t just stand there sequel, but i will one day! I have several multi chap fics that I want to write including one about Rex and Ahsoka saving the 332nd, and one in an Anakin doesn’t fall-verse where he and Ahsoka free the slaves on Tatooine, but long fics are not my strong suit. (looks guiltily at my original novel i haven’t touched in 3 months)

what are your writing strengths?

i’d probably say the emotional aspects of the characters?? that’s what i most enjoy writing. I’ve also been told that my prose itself is good so maybe that too?

what are your writing weaknesses?

plotting lmao. and action sequences. 

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

i mean my only other language i use is some sparse mando’a. I don’t speak any other languages so it’s probably not something i would think about. but i definitely enjoy fics and books that incorporate it because it adds such a cultural depth to the characters!! (i’m also such a sucker for the trope where Character A says something cute to their love interest in their native language, and when asked what they said they say something bland)

what was the first fandom you wrote for?

i have NO idea. I’ve been writing since I was really young, but maybe percy jackson? I remember writing for maze runner when i was like 12 but….

what’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

definitely you drew stars around my stars (but now i’m bleeding). I worked on it for so long and am really proud of it and the response it’s gotten

this was so fun!!! thanks again, @stormwarnings

Tagging: @ashgryff @lynnpaper @webtrinsic1122 and anyone else who wants to participate!! <333

[i-need-entertainment]

Thanks for the tag @mimi-cee-hq !! This looks like so much fun, I'll do my best😁

My top 3 fics I've written:

Dont close your eyes: Numai x reader one shot (angst)

This one was the first thing I wrote after a long time of not writing and it really got me back into the spirit of writing again. And to be honest, I just loved writing this oneshot and the finished product!! Its one of my all time favorite songs and one of my all time favorite characters so I guess I'm biased😂

Villains have more fun anyway: Mitsuya x reader (angst->fluff/comfort)

This is one I wrote when I was really dealing with a lot, and a heart break of my own. And for me to put so many of my own feelings and own emotions into my writing makes this one feel really personal😭 It was also my first time writing for Tokyo revengers, and opened the door to me writing things I liked and things that applied to my life, not just cause its what I thought people would like.

RIDE ALONG: Sukuna x reader cop au (on jjk sideblog, yes that is still me!!)

This might be the single thing I've had the most fun planning and coming up with, and I'm sad I've only done 2 parts🥲 but I love this series so so much and I might just be getting back to it real soon. It was the first thing that I got to put that much effort into planning and thinking out, since my other 2 series had been based off of movies. Its like my own personal project and I love it😌💕

My goal:

Get back on track and finish the 3 ONGOING SERIES I HAVE. I literally have an ongoing series for EVERY FANDOM I WRITE FOR and that's really sad AHAHHAAHA. I would also just like to finish some of the WIPS I've had sitting in my drafts forever cause I'm really proud of them, and they're good! I just haven't had the time or willpower to finish them :')

Tagging:

@i-just-like-goats @hajicha @rosecaffelatte @kaeyazuha no pressure if you dont want to do it, it is lots of fun tho😌

So my girl @scarlettriot’s doing a sort of retrospective creator’s tag game, and has decided to call me tf out lmao graciously decided to include me.

The rules are as follows:

1. Link three of your favorite things you’ve created this year (of any medium) and tell us why you like them as much as you do. 2. Make a goal for yourself in the upcoming year. Said goal can be anything you like. 3. Share and/or tag people to do the same.

If you don’t create your own content but would still like to play, maybe link pieces that you particularly liked and share why, just make sure you tag the original creator.

So without further ado, let’s get into it, shall we?
