Writer interview

@vixstarria tagged me and I finally get to do it! Thank you <3

I am tagging @sky-kiss @scuttlingcrab and @thedomesticanthropologist

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

13 and some are multi-chapter. All are BG3 except for a german Inkheart one

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

85.408 -that is a surprising amount of words for being active less than a year

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

His consort, his god - I finally wrote smut for a popular ship XD (bloodweave)

At her mercy - kinky sapphic Karlach x Durge smut

Natures most beloved treasure - Halsin x trans masc Tav smut

Direct from Hell Logistics - ongoing Raphael x Haarlep comedy/angst/smut/plot - this one has it all

A song of snow and embers and Copper Hearts share this place. one is a F/F/F/F foursome and the other my Astarion x male Tav longfic

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

I appreciate every single comment and try to show that. There's nothing better than the e-mail that says "comment on your work" and it can make my whole day. Sometimes I don't know what to respond if it's just a word or a keybord smash, but rest assured I see you and I love every one of those, too.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Angsty ending hmmmm. Because some of my stuff is not completed yet I am not gonna spoil anything but Dust and ash about Astarion's backstory was naturally quite angsty

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Not. gonna. spoil XD

7. Do you write crossovers?

Not yet. Maybe I could count Copper hearts because I took Francys from my original work and planted him into Bg3

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

No, not yet.

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

I do. I am exploring all kinds atm with preferably queer pairings wlw or mlm or nb. I can also write mlw from the men's perspective but not the other way round :D

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Boy I wish.

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

No and I am not sure if I could commit to a project like that.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Hmmmmm ... Raphlep probably

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

My german Inkheart fic with a genderbent lesbian Basta. Damn I was invested in creating this character, but gave up after a while because it was a lot of work and it being german and a niche topic in a small fandom was not very rewarding tbh. I know I should not care and maybe I'll come back to it when the Inkheart obsession comes over me again.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I am good at setting the scene. Atmosphere and small mundane details that make the setting feel alive. I have always liked that in reading as in writing, because it makes you feel like you are actually there when you can hear and smell and taste the scene.

Also I am okay at developing coherent plot, but that's mainly practice from writing a lot of og work before I started with fics.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

I still struggle with english grammar and punctuation at times so I always have a beta reader. And I am lucky to have great ones.

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

I am not a fan. It confuses me. Singular phrases and such yes, but not entire dialogue. Especially if it's german in an english fic I get super confused.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

*digs through her files* So, my first works were basically fic for my best friend's story. (I was in my early teens.) But since she was the author the lines between canon and fic are blurry and the "fandom" consisted of three people of which one was the author XD

So if we don't count that the first one would be Hunger Games - It was one chapter and I never published it

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

We'll see what posesses me next I guess, though I think Bg3 will stay with me for a considerable amount of time. And ship wise ... I feel Durgetash creeping up on me.

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Definitely Direct from Hell Logistics. I am having so much fun with it. It constantly makes me laugh and sheme and I also feel all the angst. Also it is ongoing and I get to explore the story alongside the readers (though I have a rough plot structure to keep me on track).

Note

for the ask meme, how about the letters B, C, F, G, I, K and X?

B - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind

If I have to choose which pairing came into mind, it's Fukami x Dolphi from WATGBS. That being their older versions that is. I remembered browsing around I think either Pixiv or Lofter back in 2014 and I stumbled upon a cute fanart of the older versions of them, Dolphi sleeping on Fukami's shoulder while I thiiink he was slightly blushing in the pic. Seeing this fanart, I didn't shipped them at first but I thought it was pretty cute and they had potential! Then later, someone in the fandom discovered that fanart and from there they made a whole new revolution of them creating a cute askblog and created lots of cute fanarts of them and yeah! Because of them, I ended up shipping them! 🐙🐬💞

C - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will

I have like maybe 6 NOTP's(???) that makes my blood boil LOL but I guess I'll name them

Wadanohara x anybody else but except Samekichi (Out of all wada pairings I hate the most is SalWada. I still very much hate the ship to this very day and even seeing it on sight makes me reaaaaaalllly severely uncomfortable)

Samekichi x anybody else but except Wadanohara

Tao Ren x anybody else but except Jeanne

Iron Maiden Jeanne x anybody else but except Ren. (Honestly the only Shaman King ship that makes my blood boil is Hao x Jeanne, I hate it a lot)

I also don't ship Hao with no one either, he's better off being single :p

I'm also not the biggest fan of OC x Canon pairings either since majority of the ships I like most of the time, I just can't stand see them being paired off with anyone else (I'm not a multishipper in general either) BUT if anyone enjoys this then your absolutely valid and cool. It's just not for me so I really try to avoid and filter/block this out.

F - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom

I doubt I'll remember but in almost all fandoms I'm in are mostly only in the shipping sides

2007 - 2012 (5 years): SasuSaku (Sasuke x Sakura from naruto)

2014 - 2019 (5 years): Samewada (Samekichi x Wadanohara from WATGBS)

2015 - now (As of 8 years atm) RenMei (Tao Ren x Iron Maiden Jeanne from Shaman King). Fun fact: I kiiinda did peak at the SK fandom from afar after I finished watching the 01 anime in 2015 during my spring break in school at the time but I never touched the main fandom cuz everyone during that time was hostile towards RenMei and there was too many RenMei antis so I would take a peek from time to time and eventually moved on, only until around 2018 Takei drew their official wedding art, made even more RenMei crumbs in Red Crimson/Marcos and from then on I got heavily invested in the ship

G - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Sasuke Uchiha x Sakura Haruno from Naruto. Been shipping them since 2007 and still ship them to this very day. So 16 years, I'm a veteran fan haha

I - Has tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

Sadly yeaaaaa uhhh...

DSP (Deep sea prisoner). I ended up not vibing in the fandom because there were too many antis, wasn't a huge fan of many dark icky fanarts in general, there was also some fans that acted like supremacists, too many dramas would keep occuring (I remembered the dark days when the Mogeko Critical blogs were active from late 2016 to 2018) and yeah I excluded myself out somewhere in I think 2017 or 2018, it wasn't worth it.

Shaman King. Just like how I explained in the F section, the fandom had waaaayyy too many RenMei antis, heck RenMei is still hated by the fandom, a lot of huge popular blogs in the fandom back in the day treated RenMei shippers horribly (I'm not kidding) ranging from sending hate/death threats and ostracizing RenMei shippers out from the fandom, no one stood up for RenMei shippers when they were getting bashed for shipping Ren x Jeanne and it was awful. I even had a few friends back in the day that either got chased out from the fandom for having an opinion on them and another case was them being bullied to the point they ended up having traumatic experiences, left the fandom and it took them years to recover in therapy. People in the fandom straight up called us shippers terrible awful human beings for shipping a 4 year age gap and we should feel ashamed for it (And it gets even worse because the same people that called us bad awful human beings are also hypocrites and also ship problematic age gap ships in SK... and yet Renmei is somehow still considered the worst pairing???) Aaaand yeah because of the tumblr experience I've witnessed from afar, I didn't enter the fandom. (Until yeaaaars later I kinda tried to, in a discord server but I ended up not liking the experience as a whole because ppl on the server barely shipped RenMei, ppl got away with shitting on RenMei on there, I got blocked by a ex staff for shipping RenMei and almost most of the staff members are all RenMei antis and because of this experience, I completely gave up trying to be part of the SK fandom, it was not worth it as a RenMei shipper)

K - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

In the western side, everyone is really nice in the RenMei fandom even if it's really small. I used to be lonely for being the only hardcore shipper for them until 2 hardcore friends came along and I don't feel lonely anymore. I just recently became friends with a RenMei friend (Who was a veteran fan) a few months ago and I've had the most absolute time of my life hanging out talking and drawing the ship with them nearly almost everyday.

As for the JP fandom, I vibe with almost everyone on there as well, everyone is very supportive of the ship. Though I do have to admit, I kiiinda don't vibe well with a few fans sexualizing the younger kid versions of RenMei but we won't talk any further about that...

3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

I think I listed them down already in section F but I guess we can do other different OTP's

Natsume Hyuuga x Mikan Sakura from Gakuen Alice

Gruvia (Gray Fullbuster x Juvia Lockser from Fairy Tail)

Amuto (Ikuto Tsukiyomi x Amu hinamori from Shugo Chara)

Age gaps

Ahh... I dread this but I'll speak anyway. I keep seeing people have a problem with big age gap couple in fandom. Now before your nostrils all fluff up let me say this, if you can't have an open mind or too fragile for my input please take your leave. This would be wasted on you.

About age gap on fandoms couple (canon or crack) I personally have no problem as long as both parties consent (without child grooming or forced relationship aspect) and considered legal at the start of their relationship and the legality here is not referring to our modern standard but on the couple's world and time. I'll try to explain but it might get long and boring but if you're still okay, continue.

I'll give an example, during the age of samurai if the situation permits like Uesugi Kenshin they can join battle at age 13 and there are still other examples of other famous child samurai. We call it child now because time change but during that time they were considered an adult once they enter battlefield. Why? They already trained years prior to kill and to protect their lord. Example of this in anime would be Himura Kenshin from Rurouni Kenshin. His first marriage was when he's around 16 and that was an acceptable age at that era since he was considered adult at age 14. So even though I find it icky if modern day teenager marry at that age, I can understand Kenshin's situation. If I'm still okay reading about him killing people around at even younger age I'm not gonna complain about him wanting to marry (although it's not that simple white and black for him).

You get what I'm trying to say?

More example of the acceptable norms in past era. During certain era in certain place like for example Victorian England and prior, 14 year old boys and 12 year old girls are passable for marriage depends on whether the family want it or not as it's more political than anything else. Same in China for example during the Manchurian Dynasty 14 year old girl is considered adult enough for marriage. And usually the age of the husband is always older by few years up to few decades (officials and emperor). But of course over time all of the above would change. Not by much maybe? Depend on the country I say.

Still we can't just hold the old days custom and norms on our modern day standard that would be akin to the present you calling your two or three year-old self a moron for defecating and not wiping your own ass. Or like when you do something stupid at your young age (pick whatever stupid situation that you have take as a lesson. Done?). You just didn't know better back then but now you do and from your failure you learn, although it would be better if you learn from other's lesson but I say pain is an effective lesson for oneself. Would you rather have that memories of your lesson be removed or ignored? I wouldn't. I don't know if I might do the stupid thing again just to find out whether I can or not. Same as this this whole age gap, young age marriage in the past and present in some customs thing. Don't erase the fact, don't gloss it over because people have and can still learn from them. My grandma married at young age and I came to be as the result of her choice.

Have you ever seen high schooler called Robert D Jr handsome? I've seen it recently on youtube. They call him very handsome and another video talked about cool and handsome senior male models. I've scrolled through the comments and no one seems offended that these high school girls simping for male old enough to be their granddad. These girls called them daddy and commenting how hot they are and the comments either agree or saying the girls reactions are cute. Huh... reverse the situation if these old models commenting female korean idol for example and calling them cute or hot what would people think? "creepy" "pedobear" even though senior female might think the same lines, heck maybe even we think the same lines. See the double standard people use? Maybe not everyone, but the loud ones are there. They're so loud I don't even know if they're majority or minority. I have celebrity crush too when I was young and as it happen, he's my father's age and to be frank, I would not mind an older partner if said partner is compatible and emotionaly mature. My sister is 17 years younger than her husband and they turn out well because her husband is matured enough to understand her ups and downs emotion back when they're dating, even before. Are all men mature emotionally as they became older then? No, just as not all oranges is sweet. My sister is 10 years my senior but she's more bratty than I am sometimes. Is it wrong of my bro in law to be with my sis?

Oh you're just trying to defend pedophilia anywayヽ(`Д´)ﾉ.

No stupid, I'm trying to make you think. I don't accept pedophilia, shotacon or lolicon. My sis is old enough to be called spinster when they go out. Anyway, when you follow a certain series, try to see it from their era and custom's perspective. Some era is okay with 16 year old marrying. Some tribes in Asia allow marriage between cousins while others and the majority of the world frown upon them. That's just how they see and do things. For me as long as both side consent without pressure and not in the case of 'parents sending their child for marriage without their input' thing I'm okay to leave that alone, I'm pretty much sure we're on the same page there. I hope.

So, just as when you come to another country, you adhere to their rules and norms or you have no right to complain if they deport you out for not learning beforehand and breaking their rules. Or when you have a guest come to your home and they suddenly start demanding you to do stuff their way, you should kick them out if not slapping their face. Or if you want to be kind, explain how you do things in your home and hoping they would understand and respect it.

I'm jumping around but see what I'm trying to say? I'll get to another anime example.

In Naruto for instance, they became genin at 12 and killing people left and right. People are okay with that right? Yeah well, since it was soo popular I suppose... besides it's pretty glossed over in both manga and anime. But the same people that's okay with children killing left and right, would they be okay if suddenly the mangaka put in story about one of the chara going on seduction mission? If it's carried out well as in the chara being bamf, maybe no problem. But if things went south for the chara? I'm sure there will be outrage, especially if that's a female chara or worse if it's one of the main like Sakura. See? People hold the characters, the series and the mangaka to their own convenient double standards. Back to the age gap when shipping, I pick Naruto as example because apparently Sakura was just so shippable that people actually ship her with Kakashi and even Madara and she makes easy example. Don't ask me why she's shipped with Madara and I don't ship any of the two with Sakura. Anyway, if Sakura is mature enough to choose to kill as a teenager (and don't give me crap about Sakura never killing on screen. Their line of work involves lots of death and she's been through war) she's mature enough to decide her romantic partner even if it's suddenly Orochimaru(ㆆ_ㆆ) (did they even exist?). You can say her taste is terrible because he's an asshole but don't say it's gross cause the age difference because apparently Orochimaru can just rejuvenated to new body and be as good as a babe (I wish I could too). Anyway saying it's about age on these kind of chara is just straight up lie on people's part. Another example I can think of atm is snk. I've seen people against pairing the 104th with the veterans because of age gap. Now I'm not trying to be rude, but hear me if you please. The whole 104th are trained child soldiers and they're killing titans and even humans. You're all okay with that? If you still follow the series far enough and liking it maybe you enjoy seeing the action sequence, drama and intrigue? The fact that you still come back to the series after this long proves that you're still okay with all the gores and blood spilled with all the glorious child soldier most of all. They become soldier because of circumstances you say? I'm glad you think so too! Although I must point out, the 104th did CHOOSE to be soldiers (just as Naruto and co choose to be ninja). They could be farmers or thugs for all we know. All the soldiers in snk choose their occupation, thay all trained and decide to join the Survey Corps, in fact the only one that join reluctantly in the first place is the former thug although he continues in the end. That aside, their circumstances certainly are different than us don't they? They don't even know a car and blip exist before Marley... They must have a whole lot of different mindset and norms than ours too for a civilization whose life are about survival against titans that's 100 years behind than other civilization in their world. Ever think of that?

Seeing modern day teenage in romantic lights are indeed hard as I'm sure the majority can't even survive without their gadget and parents' money. I certainly can't at that age. Immature. Even those in their twenties and thirties are immature these days. But now when one of those child soldier who have a whole lot of different mindset and maturity level is being shipped with older chara, you're against it. Okay. Maybe it's indeed easier for you to see 15 year olds regardless of their profession to commit act of violence and even kill than to love... (does that sounds okay to you?)

...I'm not saying killing mindlessly is alright because it is NOT. But that would need a whole lot different threads and time to spare and maybe someone else can do it or already done it before me.

But here's the good thing, even when the ship starts when they grow and at the modern legal age of 18 and 19, or even far above like centuries, it's still not okay for some people to ship them. I don't mind if it's your preference and you don't go disturbing other's corner when they don't even enforce their ship as words of god and even acknowledging that 'yes, maybe it's not canon and just our bits of fun' but sometimes it got to the point of belittling those who do ship age gap couple and treat them like a criminal in need of help or wishing them death. Seriously? Yes. People are that immature.

If you don't like a ship because you think your own is better, fine. Do your thing in your corner but don't go to other people's corner just to talk shit without even knowing why they ship what they ship. Most of this ship is just in our head in the end, and even if your ship is canon it does not make you any greater in real life.

I can't think of anything else to say now, but thanks for reading with open mind. ◝(⑅•ᴗ•⑅)◜..°♡

Now before anyone waste their time typing out comments, I refer to my first paragraph. Here's some imaginary flower for you all🌷

Apparently I'm not clear enough so I fix my wording. I'm here not defending minor and old people relationship but age gap couple who happen to be aged up to acceptable age despite their profession. Here's some choco🍫

2021 Fanfic Meme

Tagged by the most incredible dealer of problematique content @pandirpus Word count for the year: 169,593 ...That are on AO3! A large chunk of my writing atm is for projects that I can’t yet post publicly, so it’d actually be a bit higher than that. Number of stories posted to Ao3: 22! Pairings written for: Theseus/Zagreus Theseus/Asterius Zagreus/Asterius Theseus/Zagreus/Asterius Momus/Heracles Dionysus/Ariadne Meg/Aphrodite Asterius/Hypnos Hades/Persephone Theseus/Momus Ares/Hypnos Achilles/Patroclus Zagreus/Momus Charon/Hermes Zagreus/Sisyphus Ares/Achilles ...And also Ares/Skelly, but I can’t post that one just yet ;) Fandoms I wrote for: Only Hades Game this year Most popular story: That’s definitely the prince with specific tastes; the king with specific regrets - which is easily the most popular fic I’ve ever written! I’ve never written anything that’s gotten much attention before, so I am incredibly honoured by folks liking the story so much. Story I’m most proud of: Same as above! I feel like I was possessed by something when I churned that whole fic out in a little over a month and bypassed all the usual problems I have with multichapters - I’d mapped it out before starting, I’d done my research, I’d forced myself to only focus on five main characters instead of going off on a tangent about a million of them. Also, I’m proud of how self-indulgent I allowed myself to be with the Heracles & Momus bonus content. Funniest: Two answers for this. The first is that Ares/Skelly fic that I can’t post yet, but has hilarious dialogue that I’m very excited to share. The second is this Ares & Mario crossover crackfic that I wrote when Cyrus Nemati asked for it on one of his streams. Kinkiest: I don’t think I wrote anything particularly kinky, but maybe the Sisyphus/Zagreus fic? Saddest: Hmm... I guess it depends. A few contenders are: letter from icarus, which has Icarus writing a farewell letter to Asterius that Asterius is never able to receive, making it seem like his friend had abandoned him. the one who made and ruined me, which is typical Achilles raging over Patroclus’s death angst, with a side of Ares gloating. and if found please return to the underworld, which while isn’t the saddest of the three, does have a bittersweet ending where TheseZag can only see each other occasionally and also Momus & Heracles are separated indefinitely. So it’s sad for me lol Least Popular: letter from icarus again, which doesn’t surprise me too much, since it’s a t-rated platonic fic between Asterius and an OC version of Icarus. Most Cringe-Worthy: ALL OF IT Favorite Opening Line(s): Hypnos doesn't even know why he's bothering to try, because he's never once won any sort of fight with Charon during their long existence and a staring contest isn't going to be the first one that he does. Favorite Closing Line(s): Might as well live for that thrill, right? (That’s technically cheating, since it’s the last line of one of the Momus/Heracles bonus chapters from THE BIG THESEUS FIC, but if you count the bonus chapters as standalone stories, then it’s still kind of a closing line?) Top Scenes from Anywhere You Would Choose to Have Illustrated: Look, literally any scene featuring Momus and/or Heracles, because those are my boys and it feels personal when folks draw them. I’ve been lucky that a few kind souls have drawn some of their scenes already! But a few scenes I’d particularly like to see illustrated are: - Momus having transformed into Dusa-with-body to fail(?) to seduce Zagreus in champions; prince and bull - Momus & Heracles’s farewell in if found please return to the underworld - Any of the Momus/Theseus scenes from prince theseus, ariadne and dionysus (also there is a catboy) Story I haven’t yet written, but intend to: Once I’ve completed various exchanges, trades and zine fics, I hope to start another damn TheseZag multichapter, this one focused on time-travel shenanigans. As well as this, I want to write a final bonus chapter for the one year anniversary of specific tastes and maaaybe an incredibly self-indulgent Dionysus/Momus oneshot, because fuck it, why not? Fic-writing goals for 2022: Same as the above, as well as finishing off any zines/exchange/etc fics in a timely manner. ...Hmm, I’m trying to think of any writers I know are active and haven’t been tagged yet (but also, no pressure if you don’t want to do this!), so I tagged @ofbleedingink @101flavoursofweird @krokonoko and @yallemagne

I've been tagged by @elorianna to do the writing tag game! Thank you very much 💖💖 For those of you who don't know, I actually write Fanfic!

How many works do you have on Ao3?

I've written a mere 6 fics 😳 I still have to grow my collection! I also write for a couple of fandoms aside from Milex - Finn and Poe from Star Wars, and I have one Gorillaz 2Doc fanfic.

What’s your total Ao3 word count?

10,634 - not many at all! I mostly post oneshots. Maybe one day I'll post a work that's that amount alone. The only public document I've written that was that long was my dissertation😂

What’re your top 5 fics by kudos?

1. All We Are

2. Into Place

3. Why Not?

4. Of the Morning

5. The Element of Surprise

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I don't get many comments so I try to reply to them all as they mean a lot to me! Thank you commenters! 🥰

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

Oh definitely 'All We Are' - it's my only Gorillaz fanfic so far and I think the nature of Gorillaz as a franchise demands that it has darker undertones, especially the themes of the history of how Murdoc has treated 2D in the past. Spoiler alert but I kind of like that Murdoc doesn't pursue his feelings and cuts it off - it feels very in character.

What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Literally all of my others tend to have happier conclusions - I just like to see my ships get together haha! I would say 'The Element of Surprise' has the happiest ending - I just wanted Al to have his death ramps ring back so it was purely self-indulgent😂

Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

None yet! I did have an idea to pair Finn and Poe with Inside Llewyn Davis, although it's probably more of an AU than a crossover - perhaps Poe (in the starving artist role of Llewyn) meets Finn at one of the Gorfiend's dinner parties and it continues from there? Who knows bro🤷🏻‍♀️

Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not really, everyone's been very kind!

Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do write smut but I've only ever published one piece, 'Not Safe For Comms' - it took a lot of courage to post that one because even though writing's writing at the end of the day, smut does have a reputation per-se and, lets be honest, no one wants to read bad smut, so I had to make sure it was just right - it takes a lot to really build it up and make a reader feel excited about it and believe it. Maybe more is to come (har har) if I get any more ideas 👀

Tbh I just prefer to read it (who said that?)

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don't think so?

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not to my knowledge!

What’s your all time favourite ship?

That is a huge question!

I LOVE Milex but I'm currently only really reading it and not writing it - no particular reason aside from a general lack of content and inspiration atm but this could change with Miles' new album and potential AM7? 👀

Can't lie, I'm really digging FinnPoe/Stormpilot the most atm. I have so many thoughts and feelings about them but I'm just upset that disney didn't go for it and put them together - it's literally tangible: their whirlwind meeting where they saved each others' lives and Poe gave Finn his NAME, the lip bite™ at the end of Force Awakens, the dynamic of the dashing flyboy pilot falling HARD for a rebel stormtrooper he just met, the way they bicker like a married couple, god I love it. It's also no secret that I'm currently on an Oscar Isaac hype and the fact that both he AND John Boyega were actively rooting for them to get together (even saying they played the roles romantic) just makes me love them even more. We were ROBBED!

I also ship the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler(my TRUE otp since 2006) Cassian and Jyn from Rogue One(why they gotta die like that) and The Eleventh Doctor and Clara (they're just cute alright!) as well as many more!

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

I also tend to also scrap things that just aren't working. I had a Milex one where the lads played a flirty game of pool set in 2005 but I was wrestling with it for so long that I just let it go. I also wrote around 10k of a fic where Alex was undercover and Miles was a crime boss😂 but I felt icky about it cause even though I made Alex an independent detective in a noir style it still felt a bit copaganda-esque and I didn't like that. The only WIP I currently have is a very basic FinnPoe one(inspired by Oscar dancing in Ex Machina cause I am what? Basic x) but I think I only like it for how I've written the ending so I need to find a way to get that to work 'cause I really like it!

What are your writing strengths?

I'm not the best out there - I mostly write for myself haha but I think I'm pretty good at description and scene setting, as well as some exposition.

What are your writing weaknesses?

A lot of things tbh, even though I did creative writing at A Level 🙃 I struggle with plot a lot(hence the oneshots), and sometimes dialogue stumps me. It's all a learning process!

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

I've never had a reason to, but I'd have to get it translated accurately if I did. I think it's also important not to alienate a reader as sometimes I read stuff and it's a bit jarring if you're not sure on the meaning.

What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Milex is my first published fic, but I think I wrote for maybe Doctor Who back in the day? I've been reading fanfic for years, though.

What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I have so few that I like them all! I do like my Gorillaz one which is surprising as that one took me the least time to write and I didn't even expect to write it at all - it's somehow my most popular fic(maybe the gorillaz fandom is just super active?) and I think the more angsty ending gave me a lot more to play with.

#oh wow look ive written an essay 💀💀#thank you so much this was so fun???? makes me wanna continue with that wip i talked about ahaha ive been realy neglecting writing recently #writing tag #fanfic #my fanfic

Fic Writer Interview

Thanks for tagging me @oxygenforthewicked! <3 Beneath The Veilfire is bloody fantastic and you should all go and read it, especially solavellan fans!

Name: hawkeish (here and on ao3)

Fandoms: Dragon Age

Where you post: here and on ao3

Most Popular One-shot: Fool’s Errand, the first Blackwall/Lavellan thing I wrote - which is wild, because it’s a pretty rare pair and I wasn’t expecting anyone to read it, let alone like it!

Most Popular Multichap: this is how the light gets in (although it’s only 2 chapters - does that count?). basically, Hawke and Anders sleep together, and Hawke’s terrible at feelings, and they’re both sweet idiots.

Favorite story you’ve written so far: I have a few favourites! I love La vie en rose - it was a dream to write, I’m weak for a modern au, and as an ex-barista it was pretty cathartic. I also love my Carver/Merrill fics, particularly and she said honey, take me dancing. basically, I’m a hopeless romantic.

Fic you were nervous to post: do all of them count? probably Go On Home, though - it was the first time I’d written Carver’s voice, and I was so worried about infantilising Merrill instead of writing her as she actually is, someone capable, clever, actively kind, and complex. but I think it went OK?

How do you choose your titles: I’m a sucker for song lyrics as titles. I think every single one has been a lyric so far, apart from the OTPtober stuff I wrote? I’m very basic, I know.

Do you outline: NOPE. I bulletpoint where I want to go when I reach a sticky point in a fic, though - either in my notes app or right in the middle of a paragraph or sentence a lot of the time. my zero-drafts are horrific to look at. they are crimes against god.

Complete: eleven! all of them are one-shots (pretty much) though, because I’m terrible at plot. my multi-chap fic about teenage Hawke & Anders getting up to shenanigans will be finished (and probably revised) next year, though, hopefully!

In progress: a frankly ridiculous amount, but the main ones are a follow-up to La vie en rose, a miserable post-da2 fic about a handers relationship breakdown, and a couple of prompts for the DA Drunk Writing Circle, ‘cause they were too tempting and I can’t wait till Fridays!

Prompts?: I LOVE PROMPTS SO MUCH. my imagination constantly gets stuck in a rut, so prompts are my go-to. plus I love writing stuff for people, so I’m always open to prompts - send me fun ideas and I might write them as part of DA DWC...

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: it’s very much an idea atm, but the very lovely and EXTREMELY talented @veorlian suggested a collab and the words ‘Carver/Merrill’, ‘commander’ and ‘arcane advisor’ were raised. make of that what you will x

Worlds I would love to write for in the future: ooh, I don’t know? Maybe AC Valhalla, mainly to process my MANY FEELINGS ABOUT WHAT THEY DID TO MY SWEET SON BOY CEOLBERT WHOM I LOVE (Ubisoft honestly it’s been nearly two weeks since I finished Shropshire and I’m not over it)

tagging @pinkfadespirit, @fandomn00blr, @kirkwallgremlin, @mrs-theirin, @hollyand-writes, and @noswordstyle - although any other writers, sorry if I’ve missed you and please feel free to do this too!

#ish writes #writing tag #valhalla spoilers #(covering all bases)#thanks for the tag again <3 #long post #absolutely no pressure to do this as always!#also christ my phone autocorrecting the title of oxygen's fic #sorry!!

Came across this on Tumblr a few days ago, it amused me for a couple of hours or more, filling it in, while watching QI.

Fandom Questions

1. What was the first fandom you got involved in?

Star Trek: Voyager, I suppose at least for reading. Started writing with Stargate SG-1.

2. What is your latest fandom?

I dip in and out of lots of fandoms on and off, the most recent ‘pick up’ is Ballam from Eastenders, I don’t watch soaps, but Robron and Ballam both appear a good bit on my tumblr, so I eventually gave in to checking them out via fic and youtube – thank god for youtube, lol! I still don’t watch soaps, but I watch those storylines!

3. What is the best fandom you’ve ever been involved in?

Gosh, that’s... actually no that’s really easy. Primeval. For anyone not familiar, it’s a ‘silly little dinosaur show’ produced in the UK. It had 4 short seasons, with a somewhat revolving main cast – although they managed to keep 3 of them through all 4 seasons – but the fandom was/is amazing. I made life long friends through the fandom and even though I don’t write much any more I still read some and still talk with those people.

4. Do you regret getting involved in any fandoms?

I would say no. I can’t say every fandom has always been amazing – ship wars anyone! – but mostly fandom has been a very positive experience in my life.

5. Which fandoms have your written fanfiction for?

How long have you got... in genuinely no particular order (basically as they came to me) Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Star Trek (TNG, DS9, Voy, Ent & Reboot Movies), Marvel, Kingsman, Person of Interest, Due South, Quantum Leap, Firefly, Buffy/Angel verse, Harry Potter, The Sentinel, Torchwood(/Doctor Who), Hawaii Five-0, Shadowhunters, Sherlock, Primeval, Emmerdale (Robron), NCIS, CSI (Vegas, NY & Miami), White Collar, Empire Records, Bull, Diagnosis Murder, MacGyver (the original), 1-800-Missing, CHAOS, Without a Trace, M*A*S*H, Charmed, Queer as Folk (US), Will & Grace, Bring it On, Nash Bridges, Magnificent 7 (TV series), House, Babylon 5 – I think I got them all... a few of those were one time only deals, but a lot of them have more (anywhere from 2-52 (or more still!) ranging from 100 word drabbles, to thousands of words – hey I’ve been writing fic for 21 years... you tend to amass a lot of fandoms...

6. List your OTP from each fandom you’ve been involved in.

Oh geez, here we go, lol! Okay...

Stargate SG-1: Jack O’Neill/Daniel Jackson

Stargate Atlantis: Rodney McKay/John Sheppard

Star Trek: Elim Garak/Julian Bashir, Chakotay/Tom Paris, Jonathan Archer/Malcolm Reed, James Kirk/Spock – I don’t particularly have an ‘otp’ in TNG, the couple I’ve written were Picard/Data, I’ve also dabbled reading Data/Gordi)

Marvel: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark

Kingsman: Harry Hart/Eggsy Unwin

Person of Interest: Harold Finch/John Reese

Due South: Benton Fraser/Ray K

Quantum Leap: Sam/Al

Firefly: Malcolm Reynolds/Simon Tam

Buffy/Angel Verse: Buffy/Giles, Angel/Spike, Xander/Spike, Willow/Tara

Harry Potter: Harry/Draco, Harry/Hermione, Harry/Hermione/Draco

The Sentinel: Jim/Blair

Torchwood: Jack/Ianto

Hawaii Five-O: Steve/Danno

Shadowhunters: Magnus/Alec

Sherlock: Sherlock/John, Mycroft/Lestrade

Primeval: Nick Cutter/Stephen Hart, James Lester/Hilary Becker Emmerdale: Robert Sugden/Aaron Dingle

NCIS: Gibbs/DiNozzo CSI: Nick Stokes/David Hodges, Mac/Danny, Horatio/Speed White Collar: Neal/Peter/Elizabeth

Empire Records: Joe/Lucas

Bull: Benny/Jason

Diagnosis Murder: Steve/Jesse

I’ve left a few out where I don’t have particular OTPs

7. List your NoTPs from each fandom you’ve been in.

Here we go again... lol!

Stargate SG-1: Jack/Sam, I just... no. I’ve read a few where it’s a background or secondary pairing, but it always makes me wince a bit. I’ve read a few with Sam/Daniel as a secondary pairing that didn’t make me react that way and I’ve read Sam with other characters, but Jack/Sam just is a nope for me.

Stargate Atlantis: McKay/Keller – no, just no. that was horrible. She treated him like... awfully, trying to change him to suit her, just... no.

Marvel: Contentious, but Tony/Pepper, also Peter Parker/Tony Stark. Maybe because I saw the movies before I ever looked at the comics, but meh.

Due South: Benton Fraser/Ray V – again, contentious, but honestly I think Ray V was kind of a shit friend to Fraser.

Firefly: Anything with Jayne. No really, I just can not stand the character. I spent most of the series wanting to punch him in the face and sometimes you get characters you love to hate, but I just hated him.

Buffy/Angel Verse: Buffy/Spike, Willow/Kennedy

Harry Potter: Ron/Hermione, Ron/Harry, Harry/Ginny... basically, Ron and Ginny should just be loveless hermits who live by themselves. Ok, no, that isn’t fair... but as much as Ron was Harry’s first friend, he was selfish and bitter and Ginny/Harry just... never sat right with me. Ron literally says she spent ‘all summer talking about’ Harry, when she’d met him for all of three seconds. She didn’t know him. It always felt like she fell more in love with the *idea* of Harry Potter, than Harry Potter himself.

Sherlock: Sherlock/Molly, he’d eat her for breakfast. Serious, she’d never survive him.

Primeval: Oliver Leek and anyway. Arg. Creepy little dude is creepy and evil.

NCIS: Ziva/DiNozzo – ugh, just no.

Again, I’ve left out ones where I don’t have particular NoTPs

8. How did you get involved in your latest fandom?

Tumblr, god damned bitches posting gifs of pretty boys falling in love, roped me in!

9. What are the best things about your current fandom?

I dabble in several fandoms at once... but if we go by ‘most recently picked up’ as ‘current’ we’re talking Ballum, which hey, it’s always fun to have an actual canon pairing be my OTP, that’s rare for me, lol.

10. Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

Well (so far) I haven’t written any Ballum. (I say so far, because I’m a realist, lol). I rarely read in fandoms and not end up writing in them at some point. Although I have probably dabbled in a few I’ve not written for, but if I read it with any sort of consistency, I mostly end up writing it. I am weak!

Ship Questions for your Current Fandom

11. Who is your current OTP?

Okay, so that list above, just basically go with that. While I do drop in and hour of fandoms and some I certainly read in more than others, I do tend to go back to fandoms... If we were talking about what I’m mostly focused on writing atm... Steve/Tony, Mycroft/Lestrade, Harry/Draco and Robron are ones I’m currently working on most.

12. Who is your current OT3?

I’m not currently writing anything that’s OT3 with any real focus. I have a couple of Neal/Peter/Elizabeth WiPs that I will at some point finish, but they aren’t a big focus just now. I did recently read a fabulous Neal/Peter/Elizabeth fic that’s been on my tbr list for ages.

13. Any NoTPs?

Just... see above, lol!

14. Go on, who are your BroTPs?

Harry Hart/Merlin, those two are Bro’s until the end and I will fight you on this. Also, Eggsy/Roxy! OMG they are such a BroTP! And Tony/Pepper/Rhodey – I may no like Tony/Pepper as a pairing, but I love them as best friends and of course, our Rhodes, because again, I will fight you on this, they are awesome and Tony needs his best friends!

15. Is there an obscure ship which you love?

I’m not sure there is. I suppose I’ve read a few fics for some random pairings over the years, but nothing that’s made me really ship-ship them. I like Clint Barton/Bucky Barnes, after seeing it as a secondary pairing in a Steve/Tony fic, but I’ve seen that pop up a few times since, so maybe it won’t stay obscure for long!

16. Are their any popular ships in your fandom which you dislike?

Jack/Sam, Tony/Pepper, Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny, Buffy/Spike – they all seem to be het pairings, oops. But I am mostly a slash fic reader/writer, so I suppose that’s not too surprising.

17. Who was your first OTP and are they still your favourite?

Jack/Daniel from Stargate SG-1. I still love them. I still read them, although it has been a while since I’ve written them on their own (I have got some SG-1/SGA x-overs where they feature)

18. What ship have you written the most about?

I’m genuinely not sure... without going and counting (and I’m not going any counting!) I’d guess Jack/Daniel, McKay/Sheppard, Jack/Ianto and Steve/Danno.

19. Is there a ship which you wished you could get behind, but you just don’t feel them?

No, not that I can think off. I either like it or not. I do occasionally feel bad for not reading a fic if it’s an author I really like, but I don’t read that fandom or pairing, but nothing specific.

20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?

Robron and Ballum, lol. I do not do soaps!

Author Questions

21. What was the first fanfic you ever wrote?

Stargate SG-1, Jack/Daniel, a story called The Dare, The Disaster, The Almost Happy Ending, And The Very Happy Ending – it was awful. Don’t go looking, lol!

22. Is there anything you regret writing?

Don’t we all? No, I wouldn’t specifically say so. There are certainly fics, especially older ones, I wish I could have written better, but nothing I’d go, ugh I should never have done that.

23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it.

Uh... honestly that’s really hard. I... um... yeah, I don’t know, really. I wrote a nice little flower one in POI that I felt worked rather beautifully. The Language of Flowers. An I wrote an SGA fic for NaNo a few years ago, called A Different Life, but it’s not online, because I didn’t finish it yet and I knew I wasn’t going to finish it any time soon, so I didn’t feel it was fair to leave it up unfinished (there is a reason I don’t read WiP fics and I don’t post them either, because I know how much I hate unfinished WiPs) Edit: After writing this I reminded myself of a POI fic I wrote called Hours of Separation – It’s a Harold/John break up story that I always intended to write a sequel too where I ‘fixed’ them, but I just couldn’t do it. I broke them a little too well. But I really love it actually.

24. What fic do you desperately need to rewrite or edit?

The afore mentioned A Different Life needs to be edited and finished, lol! Also a Primeval fic with the working title Crypt Keeper (don’t ask) that I worked myself into a bit of a corner on and I figure out how to fix it, but I haven’t done it yet, so it’s still needs fixing and finishing, lol!

25. What’s your most popular fanfic?

I haven’t the foggiest.

26. How do you come up with your fanfic titles?

Sometimes, really easily, a quote, a line from the fic, a song title... other times it’s like pulling teeth, hence working titles on things like ‘crypt keeper’ which is a reference to one scene near the very start and has no actual hint of the plot, lol!

27. What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?

Oh the titles. Summaries you can just copy a few lines from the fic if you are desperate, if you had to post ‘untitled mcshep fic #67’ people would get cranky, lol, hell I’d get cranky!

28. If someone were to draw a piece of fanart for your story, which story would it be and what would the picture be of?

Oh... I... huh. I mean who wouldn’t love fanart for their stories? Any of them honestly! But if I had to choose just one... I guess something in my Animal Instinct verse, which is Primeval (although I always intended to write other fandoms in the verse) where some people transform into animals, based on their ‘spirit animal’ and some art of the characters with their spirit animal form would be awesome.

29. Do you have a beta reader? Why/Why not?

Sometimes, look if you’ve read this far, you know I write in a lot of fandoms, lol. In some fandoms it’s easier than others to find beta readers. Also, sometimes if it’s just something short, I won’t bother. But I do try for my longer fics.

30. What inspires you to write?

That old adage, if you want to read it, sometimes you just have to write it? Spite? Boredom? Honestly sometimes I just have ideas I have to get out of my brain and it’s write or go mad(der)

31. What’s the nicest thing someone has ever said about your writing?

That it inspired them to write something.

32. Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you?

Sometimes, sometimes I find it distracting when writing because I end up singing along and forgetting what I’m writing, lol! I do sometimes get inspiration from songs, I guess mostly from the lyrics, but no particular band or genre – although I listen to a lot of country music!

33. Do you write oneshots, multi-chapter fics or huuuuuge epics?

Little from column a, little from column b... littler still from column c...

34. What’s the word count on your longest fic?

Around 60k, I think.

35. Do you write drabbles? If so, what do you normally write them about?

I have. Primeval had/has a week drabble challenge, mostly when I’ve written drabbles it’s been for a challenge, with a specific prompt.

36. What’s your favourite genre to write?

Uh... I mean, my fandoms really span the genres, but I guess sci-fi or crime are probably my favourites.

37. First person or third person - what do you write in and why?

Third mostly, I have occasionally written in first person, if it felt like the fic needed it.

38. Do you use established canon characters or do you create OCs?

Little from column a, little from column b... it depends on the fandom and the story. Sometimes you just need more characters, mostly they are minor roles, I don’t tend to write much established character/oc fic

39. What is your greatest strength as a writer?

Ability to convince myself people will want to read it, lol! No actually to be honest, I love to know people read and like my stuff, but I gave up a long time ago on trying to ‘please’ people with what I write. I write what I want to read.

40. What do you struggle the most with in your writing?

Focus. The problem with 21 years of fandom history, is well... 21 years of fandom history. A lot of fandoms, a lot of pairings and as I say, I never really ‘leave’ a fandom, I just drop in and out and sometimes that means I’ll write on something consistently for weeks or months and then end up getting distracted by another fandom again and not touch it for weeks or months again. Hence, I don’t post WiP fics, because I know I’m easily distracted and don’t want anyone to suffer my lack of focus but me.

Fanfiction Questions

41. List and link to 5 fanfics you are currently reading:

I don’t read WiP fics, so yeah... but 5 I’ve recently read in different fandoms that I’ve really enjoyed

Turns Out, I Have a Rose Garden by betheflame (Steve Rogers/Tony Stark)

Lucky by china_shop (Neal Caffery/Peter Burke/Elizabeth Burke)

Colors by Quesarasara (Sherlock/John)

Betrayal by Blackghost7 (Gibbs/DiNozzo)

Matchmaker (Part 1 of the Marmalade Series) by HastaLux, Mottlemoth (Mycroft Holmes/Greg Lestrade)

42. List and link to 5 fanfiction authors who are amazing:

See now this is hard, because... ahh so many...

FredBassett – Primeval author, her Stephen/Ryan series is epic and brilliant and endless

https://archiveofourown.org/users/fredbassett/pseuds/fredbassett

Keira Marcos – I know other people will have said her, I don’t care. I love all her stuff, across all the fandoms she writes in

http://keiramarcos.com/

theapplepielifestyle – her Steve/Tony is amazing. Hands down some of the best I’ve ever read. I will fight you on this.

https://archiveofourown.org/users/theappleppielifestyle/pseuds/theappleppielifestyle

JillyJames – her Tony DiNozzo is a real life grown up... exactly as he should be considered given he’s a goddamn federal agent!

https://jillyjames.com/

missbecky – I’ve read pretty much all her Steve/Tony and Harry/Eggsy and it’s awesome.

https://archiveofourown.org/users/missbecky

Honestly, I could have listed so many more, but, I’m being good!

43. Is there anyone in your fandom who really inspires you?

Everyone. The thing is, fandom at it’s best is like crack, the more you get, the more you want. The writing, the gifs, the art... it feeds you and makes you want to make more of it, because more of it needs to exist and if that means you need to do it yourself, so be it!

44. What ship do you feel needs more attention?

ALL OF THEM!

45. What is your all time favourite fanfic?

Oh hell no, not even, I can not. It took me an hour to narrow down 5 authors, I can not narrow down one fanfic!

46. If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?

I mean, it depends on what they like... probably the Hour of Separation I mentioned above, if they like the fandom/pairing, or my Animal Instinct stuff.

47. Archive Of Our Own, Fanfiction.net or Tumblr - where do you prefer to post and why?

Archive of our Own. I haven’t touched ff.net in *years* since they started getting super restrictive about what you could post. I do occasionally post stuff to tumblr, but mostly I now post to AO3. I did have my own site and I’ve yet to upload a lot of stuff to AO3 – one of these... months... that will be a project – but it’s amazing. Seriously, having been in fandom 20+ years, going from having to search all over a million different places and now it’s all in one place, where we’re honestly, spoiled and protected. The kids now have no idea how crazy impossible that once seemed.

48. Do you leave reviews when you read fanfiction? Why/Why not?

Yes, but not as often as I should. I love AO3s kudos button, so I can sort of say ‘hey I enjoyed this’ without having to comment, because I sort of hate leaving comments just going ‘hey I enjoyed this’ because I always feel like I should say more, like, oh I enjoyed this specific thing, which yes is an unnecessary hang-up, but there ya go.

49. Do you care if people comment/reblog your writing? Why/why not?

Of course it’s nice to get comments, kudos, reblogs etc. I’m not as attached to them now as I was when I was younger, because I learned along the way that it was more important that I like what I’m writing than that other people do, but it’s still nice to know that something I’ve created is enjoyed.

50. How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction?

I went looking for Star Trek Voyager stuff online, pics etc, waaaaaaay back when! And I came across fanfiction entirely by accident... and I read some – het stuff mostly, then I started watching Stargate SG-1, went looking for fanfiction for that, but was not on board with Jack/Sam, found Jack/Daniel went ‘huh really? That’s weird’ read it... and yeah... 21 years later... lol!

51. Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

Ship Wars. No seriously, just don’t. Like, who the actual fuck cares. I like my ship, you like your ship. I don’t care if it’s canon or not. I don’t care if it’s popular or not. I don’t read my NoTPs, but I’d never dream of telling someone else not too. Yes I think they are terrible, bad, no good pairings, but that’s *my* opinion. Don’t try to change my mind and I won’t try to change yours. I avoid them like the actual plague. If someone starts that shit around me, I will shut it right down. You are a dick. Go to Jail. Do not pass Go. Do not collect £200.

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; Meme.

Mun & Muse

fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OC’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

tagged by: @deathboundinautumn (yay! :D) tagging: this is a bit long, so i’ll tag a few people: @goddessofpathos, @eris-the-phantom-thief, @finalhxaven, @revolver-jesus

MY MUSE IS: canon / oc / au / canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated.

IS YOUR CHARACTER POPULAR IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / MAYBE (from the beginning of the game, I don’t think many people liked her--but once other games and remakes came out, she’s more likeable? I’ve never really known if she is likeable tbh)

IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED HOT™ IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK. (I MEAN HAVE YOU SEEN HER IN ARENA?!)

IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED STRONG IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK. (Depends on if ORACLE doesn’t fuck you up.)

ARE THEY UNDERRATED? YES / NO / IDK. (YES! Very much so because some people don’t do her social link or just don’t actually try to understand her.)

WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN STORY? YES / NO

WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG. (A ROMANCE OPTION! As well as helping the protag open up a bit more~ <3)

ARE THEY WIDELY KNOWN IN THEIR WORLD? YES / NO. (she’s just a student at Gekkoukan High)

HOW’S THEIR REPUTATION? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL. (During her story in P3, she had a good reputation with many of her friends and others. So, she is almost never bad--maybe if she sides with more people, perhaps? XD)

HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? — I follow the canon story almost to a T. And as much as I like that, I always rather like to RP more AUs because as much as I like Fuuka being the way she is in the game, her personality seems kinda bland. I make her more sassier and have her be more confident personality wise.

SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka: try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals. — //drags and pulls the smolest female member of SEES and pats head// Look at how smol and cute she is! Yes, she’s learning how to cook and be more feminine, but as can wow guys with her technological prowess! She can fix phones, headphones, you name it! She’s loves to listen to people and give advice, no matter what. She will be there for you and be willing to do anything for you, give or take.

Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?). — She is a walking doormat who never says NO. She’s really shy and bashful whenever a guy, or girl, compliments her. Fuuka takes on a lot of responsibilities and wants to do everything herself. She can’t handle confrontation wells because, well, look at what happened with her and her bullies.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE? — I played P3P in college and I got a personal blog on Tumblr and saw people RPing--and I got to saw interactions with Akihiko and Junpei first of all. I was interested and asked about what they were doing. And once I played Minato’s side of P3P, and then Minako’s, and back to Minato’s, I was very much in love with Fuuka. I think my brother-in-law’s girlfriend told me about how there wasn’t many Fuukas on Tumblr, so I gave her a shot because I knew she wasn’t very interesting to others and well...that was that. Also, I could relate to her in the sense of her shyness and being bullied.

WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING? — Whenever RPers tell me my Fuuka is one of the best, that I show her a lot of love and that it’s contagious. And when people enjoy having me and her around, I get really happy and I feel welcomed again. Also, it helps when you RP ships that you like or wanna try out and it actually works out--//cough cough// Shinji and Fuuka //cough cough//--and other people like it too, it’s interesting and keeps me motivated tbh.

Some more personal questions for the mun.

Give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

DO YOU THINK YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER JUSTICE? YES / NO / I SINCERELY HOPE I DO? (After being told so many times, I think I really do. I have the worry in the back of my mind that I don’t, but I still give it my all.

DO YOU FREQUENTLY WRITE HEADCANONS? YES / NO / SORT OF? (I do sometimes, since my inspiration comes out of nowhere, but I need to do more tbh.)

DO YOU SOMETIMES WRITE DRABBLES? YES / NO (OMG. Whenever someone gives me an idea, or a pairing, and we talk about it and like...I need to write more, but it’s hit or miss sometimes.)

DO YOU THINK A LOT ABOUT YOUR MUSE DURING THE DAY? YES / NO (I MEAN, HAVE YOU SEEN HER IN ARENA? XD YES, I said that twice because damn puberty did her well!)

ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR PORTRAYAL? YES / NO / SORT OF? (Everyone says it’s hella good, so my confidence is growing in my portrayal for her, little by little.)

ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR WRITING? YES / NO / A LITTLE BIT. (I KNOW I need to be more descriptive. And I can type great emotional reactions and such, but it’s so difficult to really be more descriptive overall.)

ARE YOU A SENSITIVE PERSON? YES / NO / SORTA.

DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL? — If it’s constructive, then of course. But, if you are going to be an ass, I’ll make an ass outta you!

DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER? — YES! Please send as me so I can lay in bed, looking at the ceiling, pondering the answers.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? — Yeah, I mean, I don’t think many people have disagreed though.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? — Hmm. I probably wouldn’t care. After the 8+ years on here, I think I would be able to handle it very well. It’s my portrayal of Fuuka. I have created her and shaped her the way I know that would help her build her confidence and happiness. And if you don’t like that, then why the hell did you follow me?

IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT? — The unfollow button is RIIIIIIIGHT there. Why talk to me if you don’t like Fuuka? Like I said, don’t be stupid and make a fool of yourself.

ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS? — Not really? I mean, I’ll probably see it and be too tired to fix it--but, if it’s really bad and it is all over the page, then let me know. If I spelled a word wrong or forgot something, then...don’t tell me. I’ve RPed with people who have had grammatical errors so it doesn’t bother me because I don’t bother them with it.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN? — HAHAHAHAHAAHAH. Oh, you are serious. XD I am really chill af to be honest. I was so strict and worried about everything on here, but noticing and realizing that there are more people who take their time to do stuff, made me realize I SHOULD do that too. So, the short answer is yes I am easy going, but I take a good talking to really open up.

#for the mun #fuuka.headcanon #kiki speaks #(Thank you so much for tagging me! :D #I was slow as fuck doing this #but now i did it! :D)

Are you into Star Trek Disco? If so, 001 for it. If not, 003 for River Song :)

Yes, I like Disco and I will do both :D Thanks anon for the ask.

001 | Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character: would be really rude to choose a character that was in original series? :D I mean, Spock and Pike and Number One, but if i should choose from disco team, then i would go with Philippa, she was badass, both emperor and original Philippa. I love them, also Katrina Cornwell was really awesome. I love everyone else, especially Stamets, Michael and Saru, but I would go with Emperor/Captain Georgiou cos yeah, she is awesome!

Least Favorite character: oh idk, i need to rewatch it to be sure, I enjoyed performance, but as a character I did not really like Lorca.

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): 5? :D that’s too much i guess. I am not sure I even have one in disco? if I really have to think and choose... nah, can’t really do that, I was not into shipping anyone there yet. Pike/Tyler was good tho, yes, i will choose that :D I also liked Stamets and Hugh, and maybe Detmer and Owosekun, but there was not enough of the last one, but i like the idea.

Character I find most attractive: oh, they are all so pretty! Michael? Philippa? Spock? Number One? Pike? idk, if i have to choose one i will go with Pike, he is really pretty. but everyone else is also!!!

Character I would marry: none... ok Philippa :D what? middle aged women are my weakness, i can’t help it.

Character I would be best friends with: i don’t even know, probably Jett Reno and we would judge everyone together :D

a random thought: we need that new season sooner...

An unpopular opinion: im fine with the plot and i don’t care that most of fans are all like ‘ohhh but it doesn’t feel like old trek’ tos is my fav trek and i still enjoy disco, this is a huge universe and having both shows as original series and discovery is amazing, if you don’t like discovery just because it doesn’t feel like old trek, then maybe don’t watch it? don’t like don’t watch and stop whining about it, we are going to have strange new worlds soon which gonna be more like original series, wait for that and enjoy it. Just because you don’t like it and it doesn;’t feel like tos for you doesn;t mean it should not exist and it is bad. We can have it all you know?

My Canon OTP: Since I am not really shipping anyone i will choose the one i like from canon - stamets/hugh

My Non-canon OTP: idk pike/ash :’D i remember loving the chemistry and their scenes.

Most Badass Character: Philippa, Katrina, Number one.

Most Epic Villain: apart from Lorca we had Leland and computer... so I will go with Lorca? or idk, Emperor Georgiou counts as villain?

Pairing I am not a fan of: Lorca/Michael

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Can’t really think of anyone atm

Favourite Friendship: Michael and Saru

Character I most identify with: Jett Reno ? tho im not as smart

Character I wish I could be: Philippa... if i can’t marry her at least i wanna be like her aklsjkjadh

003 | Give me a character & I will tell you:

How I feel about this character: good? i like her. what else can i say, her appearances in the beginning really helped me to love 11 more.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Ten, Twelve. not really super shipping as I ship Doc/Master, but i like them, they are okay.

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Amy/Rory and River, i love their family and they could have more time together tbh

My unpopular opinion about this character: do i have one? i guess my unpopular opinion would be that i don;t really like 11 and River as a couple :D i mean, they are fine and I know, it’s the most popular one out there, but honestly, can’t see the chemistry River had with Ten, or the same warm lovely feeling I had watching Twelve and River. but im not hating them or smth, just don’t see it...

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish 13 met River at some point? Because come on! COME ON! give me that. or River and Missy met. honestly, can i have some wlw action there :’D but if i can’t have that, can she meet Jack? just ajsdja that would super chaotic

Favorite friendship for this character: I don’t really remember her with anyone but Doctor and her family and nardole, so... idk, her family.

My crossover ship: 13...13...13.. askjdhajkhd again, not really a crossover ship, but COME ON COOOME OOON! but also, imagine river song, helen magnus and helena wells walk into a bar asjkdhakjdhjahdj

Send me a fandom/ship/character and I will tell you my

THE POSITIVE & NEGATIVE; mun & muse - meme.

TAGGED BY: @dolcetters / ( thank you bb !!! ily !!! )

TAGGING (don’t feel obligated to do it!): whispers anyone who sees this !!

FILL OUT & REPOST ♥ this meme definitely favors canons more, but i hope oc’s still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. multi-muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.

—————————————————-

MY MUSE IS: CANON / OC / AU / CANON-DIVERGENT / FANDOMLESS

Is your character popular in the fandom? YES / NO

Is your character considered hot™ in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK ( people have said she’s pretty? i mean she is, so )

Is your character considered strong in the fandom? YES / NO / IDK ( by a good majority, if we go by 03 standards )

Are they underrated? YES / NO

Were they relevant for the main story? YES / NO / MAYBE ( again, by 03 standards; kind plot-device-y )

Were they relevant for the main character? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG ( i mean .... AGAIN, 03 .... )

Are they widely known in their world? YES / NO / MAYBE

How’s their reputation? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL

HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? not that strictly. she loses the pregnancy through a trauma-related miscarriage. back when i rped her years ago, i did not write in the fact that she had a child. i think i didn’t want to ... really write the parts with dante / the gate / etc. i could still in a separate AU where it’s strictly canon, but for just my writing sake, i decided no. she goes through having her rapist’s child, and that can be heavy for some. the assault alone is traumatic enough. but it’s real. so her story, at least in 03, does deserve to be told with sensitivity.

SELL YOUR MUSE! AKA TRY TO LIST EVERYTHING, WHICH MAKES YOUR MUSE INTERESTING IN YOUR OPINION TO MAKE THEM SPICY FOR YOUR MUTUALS. do you like flowers? yes? good. do you like pretty, sweet girls? yes? ok great. please, allow me to introduce you to a person who combines all three !! rose thomas, a wholesome girl who, while living in a terribly hot city, will make you forget all about the heat with her charming smile and adorable laugh !! with her heart of gold, she will help out anyone and stand up for those that cannot !! while a little hot-tempered, rose truly has firm beliefs, but doesn’t mean she won’t learn from her mistakes and grow, flourish, like that of the flower she is named after !! so come visit liore and meet the city’s own pink-haired angel !!

NOW THE OPPOSITE, LIST EVERYTHING WHY YOUR MUSE COULD NOT BE SO INTERESTING (EVEN IF YOU MAY NOT AGREE, WHAT DOES THE FANDOM PERHAPS THINK?). .... well, first off, in 03, people disliked rose for the fact that she was seen as a threat to the pairing EdWin. which, ofc if you read the manga, doesn’t happen so. and idk if people couldn’t really relate to rose back then, much less in BH where she barely shows up (as story-line goes) and she isn’t as fleshed out as prior. umm. i think from what i’ve seen (even if it is canon) people didn’t particularly like that they “white-washed” her, even though technically she was meant to be originally light-skinned (she’s a desert child yet she’s white .... she’d burn but ok) and i think just how she came off originally really made people dislike her vs 03. and maybe her storyline in 03 wasn’t as interesting and maybe a little dark, given that she’s a WOC who is raped by a soldier(s) and had the child, then was used by scar, and then used again by dante, so maybe they figured she’s a weak person who gets manipulated a lot? (writing this is making me mad but from again, what i’ve read LMAO) and just the plot device with the child / gate opening.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE? honestly? cause she was pretty LMAO. but mainly bc she (in 03) was a brown girl, like me. even though you don’t know her race, i saw myself in her, and she was so sweet and wholesome. she lost her first love and was desperate to do whatever it takes to get him back and i think she was lost, uncertain, and i really felt that. as time goes on and you find out that she changes her tune and grows and uses ed’s words to help herself back up again from being in a war-zone, it’s inspiring. she didn’t just stick to her ideals, she really changed. and then she is assault. and you just feel furious for her bc she didn’t deserve that, after having just felt empowered to do the right thing. i think initially it was out of vanity, but as i continued on with her, she just grew to be apart of me. she was one of my longest played characters, so i do have a sentimental attachment to her.

WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING? umm. it’s hard more so now bc she’s no longer my main muse. so finding her voice now, a decade-plus later, can pose as a challenge. but i guess other than having writing partners who love her just as much as i do, i think just thinking about what would ( 21+) rose grow up into? what sorts of complex thoughts would she have? music helps me mostly if nothing else tbh.

SOME MORE PERSONAL QUESTIONS FOR THE MUN.

give your mutuals some insight about the way you are in some matters, which could lead them to get more comfortable with you or perhaps not.

Do you think you give your character justice? YES / NO ( MAYBE IDK )

Do you frequently write headcanons? YES / NO

Do you sometimes write drabbles? YES / NO

Do you think a lot about your Muse during the day? YES / NO

Are you confident in your portrayal? YES / NO ( MAYBE )

Are you confident in your writing? YES / NO

Are you a sensitive person? YES / NO

DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL? tbh i think i’d feel a little hurt only bc i do feel attachment, but i’d have to be open to criticism if i want to get better at developing her. at the end of the day, she’s not my character.

DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER? of course !! i’m rarely on, but if i get them i’d love them.

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? i’d be willing to know why, and see their pov, and we’d have to agree to disagree if it’s something that i personally feel in my heart of hearts that you’re allowed to have that .... but since this is my headcanon, then .... let it be?

IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? i’d be like okay, then you write her? like. be a duplicate and write her. no one’s stopping you. write your own headcanons, do whatever you want. i think at this point it’s like, you’re right to your own opinions but then you’re kinda just being a dick about it. like. do i go to every other rose (or hinata on my main blog) and be like nooo you suck?? no, that’s rude. do i agree? not always, but hey if it makes you happy then fuck it be happy ?? LMAO but really, it’s fine, it’s for fun and i’ll try not to take it personally.

IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT? i’ll laugh. grow up?

ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS? please ..... please tell me. i may have gone to uni but english is ..... tricky. even certain punctuations like this ( ; ) thing still consumes my nightmares when it comes to writing. if we thread and you see the error, please fix it for me and don’t let me see it or notice it. save me from shame.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN? i want to say yes, but others may think otherwise bc i’m not them therefore i don’t know what you think of me. i may come off a type of way that may rub you the wrong way without my intention, and that’s just me being honest. if i’m not on this blog and on my main one, i’m sure by now you’ve gotten a decent sense of who i am ooc. i do try to be kind, but i know i can be absent at times only cause i’m overwhelmed and i use writing as an escape ... and then i get comfortable with whoever i write with, which i don’t want others to feel like i won’t give you a chance. maybe our writing styles will click, maybe not? but outside of rp i really am supportive (overly, disgustingly big-sister like supportive) and just quiet and chill, so please feel free to come to me if you ever need to !!! life just gets chaotic sometimes and i apologize for that !! but i’m super harmless, i’m awkward, but i am open and i welcome you all !! ;_;

#‣ ✽ author’s thoughts. / OOC.#ahhhhhhh i just needed to write something tbh #i feel so stiff in my explanations but ...... it is what it is #i'm 27 i'm tired and i just don't know what else to say HDAIUFU

Time for me to be nosy as heck for the fanfic author thing! Hope you don't mind if I ask a lot like you did to me! Here you are: 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 17, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, 35, 37, 40 A bunch are the same ones you asked me, but I'm really curious as to what your answers would be. If there's anything you'd like to answer that I didn't ask you, then feel free to add it on if you feel up to it! 💖

Okay, I'm known to ramble at the best of times but I really ran away with myself here. You may want to grab a snack or something first; it's hella long. You've been warned!

4. What made you start writing fanfiction?

When I was like 11/12 I was obsessed with the musical Starlight Express and after trying to google just about everything I could about it I think I stumbled across some fanfiction for it. Well, instantly my little english-class-loving brain grabbed this concept and ran with it. I remember writing my own stories in this cheap little notebook I would hide in my bedside table drawer and it was around this time that TBM came out, so naturally I decided to see if that had any fanfiction too. Turns out it did, and significantly more than Starlight Express might I add, so my creativity ran away with itself and next thing I knew I was setting up my own account and getting properly involved this time. And I guess, as they say, the rest is history...

5. Favourite pairing?

This is pretty tricky for me. Most of the pairings that I have set up are littered with little flaws and things that make them more interesting to write about (and hopefully read about lol) and more realistic. And the already established pairings that I use (i.e. Mack & Brady in old stories or Lela & Tanner) just feel too bland for me to really connect with them, which is probably why I always struggle so much to write for them. I suppose Lela & Tanner can be cute, or at least their potential is; I don't feel like the movies did them justice lol. But for my stuff, at the moment I just feel so out of practice with writing and at such an early stage in the story with Wheels and Waves that I'm not really attached to any of the pairings yet. And besides, the only one I've really established so far is Butchy & Giggles, but if you've read my last chapter then you'll know that that's not exactly doing so hot atm. So, since I can pick holes and find flaws in everyone's relationships too much to pick a favourite, I think I'll pick one I'm excited about that has some of the biggest flaws imaginable: Coral & Hyde. And that's all I'm going to say. Unless you're curious, then ask away lmao.

6. Least favourite pairing?

Okay, I may be a bit controversial here- Actually, this is probably really controversial judging by some of the reviews on my old stories that I was just reading. But I don't really like Mack & Brady… Hear me out! Maybe it's just because I haven't watched the movies for ages and I haven't been thinking about them writing-wise since I abandoned my old stuff but they just seem really bland to me. Don't get me wrong, they're super sweet, but I like giving my characters a bit of grit to work with and make them a little more interesting beneath their 'perfect movie character in an idyllic world' surface and I just could never seem to do that with Mack & Brady. I could never manage to give them any depth and because of that I feel like I just grew to resent them haha. Other people can write for them much better than I can, let's just put it that way. Apart from them though, non-canon-wise in my stories it's got to be Butchy & Coral. Hands down. Honestly, what was I thinking? It was cringey. It was basic. And I think because of it Coral became super one-dimensional and kept losing her way as a character because my whole focus was trying to get them to work as a couple. Spoiler alert: they don't. And since I ditched them I think I was really able to get her to come into her own and develop a much more interesting, albeit worse, side of her.

7. Favourite type of au?

This is probably going to be a quick one because I don't do a lot of au stuff but modern day/high school aus are always a lot of fun. I feel like TBM2 could have done so much cool stuff with that premise but then they went and dumbed down all the characters and really ruined their chance but I think the concept in general is so cute. I'm actually working on something in this vein for my sims blog, but that's not what we're talking about so let's move on.

14. Do the people in your life know you write fic? How do they feel about it?

Nope. I haven't ever mentioned it to my family because I just don't think that they'd 'get' it. I think I mentioned it to one of my best friends ages ago because she also read/casually wrote fanfics but I don't think that she still knows that I've kept it up; she probably just assumes that it was something we both just did when we were 13/14. So they don't really think anything of it; they don't know and probably never will lol. So I just struggle over chapters and ideas and things by myself.

17. What's the harshest criticism you've ever gotten on a fic?

To be honest, I don't think that I've ever really had any super harsh criticism. None that I can remember, anyway. I was reading through the reviews on one story recently and someone told me that I should work on my dialogue for Mack & Brady because it wasn't true enough to their characters and tbh they probably weren't wrong. That's barely criticism but it was the closest that I could find to it in my five minutes of looking and nothing else stood out in my memory so I guess that's what I'll go with. I know that probably sounds super cocky like "omg i'm amazing i never get any criticism from anyone because i'm amazingggg!!!1!!" but honestly all the reviews on my old stuff were just people being nice to me because I was friendly to them and I get next to no reviews on my current stuff, so there's no real opportunity for criticism if there's no interaction in the first place lmao.

20. What's your biggest struggle when it comes to writing fic?

Actually finding the time to write it when I have uni work, family life, stuff with friends and a somewhat healthy sleep schedule to balance as well. I just don't have enough hours in a day. Besides that, when it actually comes to writing I guess I find it hard to stick solely to ideas that progress the plot. I've been trying to work on that a lot more lately and be more ruthless with my planning but sometimes I just get inspired by something fun and in sheer creative desperation I just wedge it into the plot somewhere. And I think that for the reader's sake I need to stop doing this.

21. Your biggest strength?

I don't know if this is what anyone else would consider my biggest strength but I personally really like the way that I can develop the characters beyond what little personality we get to see in the movies. I love working on their story arcs and experimenting with how they 'exist' in my head, like finding out who the quiet souls are, who the loud mouths are and why they act like that. From the snippets we actually see of them in the movies and how basic they are, I'm pretty proud of the characters I've rounded them into in my stories; they feel a lot more real now, to me at least.

22. Which do you do more: read fic or write fic?

I know it's hard to believe, but probably write. I only really keep up with a handful of stories now and I always find I'm more actively thinking about kicking my butt into gear and writing something myself instead of setting out to read someone else's stuff.

24. What's your process?

Daydream and plan out future plot lines for most of the waking hours of the day. Find the fleeting shred of time available in said day to sit down and work on something if both inspiration and motivation are working in my favour. Actually sit down and open up a google doc, perhaps with a cup of tea if I'm feeling particularly adventurous and fancy treating myself for doing something productive. Painfully struggle through the first ten minutes of warming up my writing muscles and getting my creative juices flowing again. Settle into a good rhythm and just let my fingers and the words work their magic until something boring from the real world interrupts me and drags me away from my fictional one. Then repeat.

25. Of all the fics you've written, which is your favourite?

I know it's not necessarily a single fic but I really liked when I was writing the one-shots for Surf, Sun, Sand because I knew that I was writing the things people wanted to read, so I knew there was more of a chance that they'd enjoy them. And it was nice not being constrained to one timeline, I could jump around and play with different pairings, ideas and settings as much as I, well, the requests, wanted. I also really liked my Twelve Days of Cruisin' for a Bruisin' Christmas story, but I can't put that at the top spot because I'm so frustrated that I never got that final chapter up. It was really fun to write though and that's one of the few things that I've written that I'm still happy with to this day lmao. I just think it's sweet and I like how I wrote all the characters, so I'd say that's a win for me.

27. What's your most popular fic? Do you think the popularity is warranted, or is there another fic that you think deserves it more?

Statistics-wise it's Paper Flowers, by a long-shot. 77,485 views and 331 reviews. Now, I think that the fact that there are about a million chapters and I wrote it back when the fandom was thriving has quite a lot to do with that, if not all of it, because I'm almost certain that it can't be the writing, character quality or whatever crap I threw into the plot back then. But for nostalgia's sake, I'll allow it. And to be fair, it was probably alright at the time. I do think, however, that I've developed and improved my writing style over the years, so it would be nice if Wheels and Waves could get a little more popularity (since it's something I'm actually semi-proud of lol). But I just don't have the audience, so what can you do?

29. Which of your fics was the hardest to write?

Just Like Me. By a country mile. Like I mentioned earlier, I really struggle when it comes to writing for Mack & Brady and although I liked the concept (and a few other people did too) I just wasn't ever happy with what I ended up with. The chapters felt boring (which probably had something to do with the fact that I wrote them in my phone notes at 11:30pm), their relationship felt bland and the plot felt like it was going nowhere. I sort of had a vague structure of where I wanted to take it, but when I couldn't seem to get the hang of writing for them every chapter felt like such a challenge.

30. Favourite fic writers?

You, girl! I literally don't even bother to keep up with anyone else anymore because I just don't have the time (uni will do that to a bitch, lol) but I never miss a post of yours and will frequently go and re-read your stuff (especially if it's in preparation for a crossover lmao) if I need a pick-me-up. And like you said, we're practically family now and what kind of internet sister would I be if I didn't support my fam?!

31. Do you write just for fun, or would you ever consider pursuing writing?

I don't think I'd ever actually pursue it as a job. I'm in dentistry school atm so I'm pretty set on becoming a dentist, but even if that wasn't the case, I don't think I have the creativity to create my own unique story with original characters and a whole universe under my control. I just think it's fun to expand on other ideas and grow my own ideas from them.

33. Fanfiction pet peeves?

Bad grammar is really frustrating. But I also just think it's really boring when people will basically re-write the whole movie/story pretty much word-for-word with only the slightest of alterations. Like, I've already watched/read this once, why would I want to do it again? I came here for creativity and fun stories with my fave characters, not the flat-out plot all over again with a cookie-cutter, paper doll inserted into the mix to steal a few lines. It just bored me.

34. First person, second person or third person?

I'd probably put second person last because I just find reader-insert things weird and cringey. Like they legit make me feel uncomfortable sometimes. And then I'd go with first person because although I don't really have a problem with it, it's just never a style I'd choose to write in; I just can't really get the hang of it and I prefer to be able to see and show everyone's perspective on a situation from the outside, which is why good old third person has to be my favourite.

35. OCs, reader inserts or canon pairings?

Like I said, reader inserts creep me out a bit so definitely not those. Canon pairings are a pretty safe bet and can be cute most of the time (I just personally seem to struggle with them lol) and if they're done well (i.e. not basic bitches with no personality that just double as weird reader inserts *cough cough* Coral in Paper Flowers smh 12 year old me) then I think OCs can be really fun and can add another layer to fanfics that takes them beyond the bubble of what's canon.

37. Which character is your favourite to write for?

Saying Coral would be too easy because she's literally my own character, so of course I'm going to enjoy writing for her. So, other than that I'm going to have to say Seacat. I feel much more comfortable writing for the surfers than the bikers anyway, so that definitely plays into it. But I really like the version of him I've created. I really leaned into his sort of fiesty, stubborn side that occasionally showed itself in the movies, which created a super interesting dynamic with his inherent relaxed nature that all the surfers have. He's a really fun character to work with and I've got lots of fun things planned for him, so I think he's earned that top spot. But I'll mention Giggles too because it's been fun developing her character more deeply for Wheels and Waves. I just like a bit more drama, which Seacat can deliver more than my sweet bby G.

40. Imagine yourself 10 years in the future, do you still think you'll be writing fic?

Honestly, who knows? Back when I started I never thought I'd still be writing it at 18, so never say never, I guess.

And since you said I could choose another one, I'll go for 38. From where do you draw inspiration?

I wanted to include this one because I'm literally listening to my Wheels and Waves playlist as I write this to try to get me into that #writingmood. A few different things influence me but music has always been my biggest inspiration. I'm constantly adding new songs to my playlist and finding songs I want to use so badly that I'll rearrange and shift around plot points to work them into the story. For example, that Coral & Hyde relationship I mentioned earlier? Grown entirely from songs. But yeah, I'm always getting inspired by songs, which is why I'm really trying to get a general plan of Wheels and Waves set in stone so that I'll stop being tempted to switch things around and ruin the plot with convoluted ideas I get on a whim because I heard a fun song. On another note though, if you have any song suggestions then hit me up lmao; I'm always looking for more haha.

#if you made it to the end then you're a saint lmao

Since no one knows what ships I'm into right now I suppose I will tell you all a few:

Favorite love square side: Adrinette, Ladrien is a close second. I'm amicable toward LadyNoir just depends on what I'm in the mood for, Marichat irks me but not because of anything to do with the ship, but more because some of the fans are obnoxious. (And they hate ladrien like wtf??)

Other ships I'm into atm: Clarinette!! Kagaminette, Chloluka, Chlogami, Adrigami, Lukadrien.

I do have a big ship master post somewhere that I should really update that lists more specific ships that I like but maybe am not in the mood for right now. Mostly right now I'm on a love square kick cause canon out here doing them dirty, but I am anxious to start this Clarinette idea I have after I finish mdcsp, and the others are just some honorable mentions that I'm kind of always in the mood for. Just for reference here are some notps with various reasonings:

Notps: Ch//lo//dr//ien just not a fan of their dynamic romantically cause Adrien is always so uncomfortable with her in canon, but I love them having a sibling like relationship.

Ma//ri//na//th back in earlier fandom days it was popular for a minute but most of the fics for them were just a way for Adrien to realize he loves Marinette and get jealous and it just tainted the ship for me plus Nath was super popular for what I felt like no reason cause I was only neutral to him at best, and for a while those tropes and his disproportionate popularity made me not like him but tbh I'm back to being neutral.

Ch//lo//Kim again canon just makes me not. I don't think it would be good for Kim, and there are better ships for him out there

Lu//ka/ne//tte this was one that I was curious about prior to CH where he debuted, but after that episode I just wasn't sold? He had a lot of hype built up around him but tbh he was incredibly whelming to me, and then to add insult to injury I got attacked by shippers on my birthday over this ship which put the final nail in its coffin for me. So I can't say I am one of those people who are fed up with Adrien in canon and wishing Marinette would just date someone else cause I don't like her other option so I stick to just fixing Adrien in fics. 🤷‍♀️

Any adult/child ship for obvious reasons.

Not really a notp, but I don't typically care for Ch//lo//na//th either and canon has made me not like Ga//be//tha//lie either. Like cool for you if you like them, but I just don't care.

So there you go. Some ships that I like. Most ships I can get behind at least a little bit, I am surprisingly a big rare pair shipper, but sometimes I get in moods for various things. Most of the ships I don't like are either for their dynamic, tropes surrounding them, or because of fandom. If you like them, cool. Go enjoy the thing. Somewhere else.

1,4,5,6,11,14,17,18,22,23,26 any fandom you'd like (i don't know much about DC comics, but you're enjoying yourself so talk about what you're enjoying atm :D)

omg a ton of asks :D and thanks for giving me permission to ramble on about DC lol (asks from here:)

4 Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?

Yes. Spitfire (Artemis/Wally West in young justice) is a NoTP and also somehow popular in fandom as well so bleh -_-

5 already answered here

6 Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

I’m not sure about enjoy, but it made me not hate the idea of Bruce/Talia when I learned that Talia’s character was overhauled for Grant Morrison’s thing, and she used to be very different and a lot more morally grey/anti-heroine than villain-ball-carrying (Grant Morrison decided Talia drugged and raped Bruce to conceive Damian. Most stuff before he came along had them having a consensual relationship where they genuinely seemed to like each other, including the story that inspired it, Son of the Demon). Obviously this only works if you “x” out all of Grant Morrison’s Talia additions from canon, because otherwise their relationship would still be creepy and toxic as hell. But given how post-morrison Talia often acts completely different from pre-morrison, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to discount it for her interpretation.

11 Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I’m not sure if fandom doesn’t like her, but I’ll go with Maya Ducard again. For the most part, people don’t talk about her. It also seems like when they’re doing Damian’s best friend, they include Jon/Superboy so much more than they do Maya, and nothing against Jon, but Damian’s willing to call Maya his family in canon. They obviously have a really strong relationship.

14 Unpopular opinion about your fandom?

(lots of) Jason Todd Stans are the worst. I’m pretty neutral/slightly positive towards the character depending on the interpretation, but then you go around and see stuff like “some people commit murder to cope” or “Maybe he has a ton to teach to Cass about moral ambiguity” when Cass already knows about killing people and decided not to and it’s not like she’s going to say “Oh so now I see why murder is okay” and aaaaaaaaaaaa

Anyway it seems like often the other characters are kind of made OOC for his interactions in fandom so. I don’t like that part of it.

17 already answered here

18 Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased?

Definitely not lol, sometimes ships that are popular are worse (insert that meme).

22, 23 already answered here

26 Most shippable character?

I’m not sure for DC, since I’ve mentioned before I don’t have a ton of DC ships. So we’ll go with SWTOR and i’ll pick one of my OCs: Tank. She’s big and buff and super friendly and can get along with most people who aren’t tools.

Impulsive

The biggest boy group with the biggest fandom from the biggest company

Members: Taejoon, Yejoon, Hyunwoo, Daeho (maknae), Chanyoung (leader), Romain

Fandom name: Heartbeats

Stage Name: Taejoon Birth Name: Bae Tae Joon Position: Vocalist, Rapper, Dancer Birthday: 1994 Zodiac: Leo Height: 180cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Yellow, red Favourite Food: Cheeseburger Least Favourite Food: Buckwheat noodles Hobbies: Playing guitar, writing music, working out

Facts: - Group puppy, unanimously voted member with most aegyo and who loves skinship the most. - Before becoming an idol, he played guitar in a fairly well-known underground punk rock band! - Has a tiny soft voice and tends to be quiet, but he’s not shy at all, he just prefers to listen. - Ideal type: someone cheerful and talkative but who is older and who can lead him.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - veryyyyyy adhd, always running late and sometimes doesn’t show up at all, but as he’s very popular, it always gets excused. - heavy drinker and huge party animal. Gets very rowdy and noisy, not to the point of being violent but definitely to the point of disturbing other patrons at bars. His hyungwhoring gets turned up to 11 as well, with Yejoon as his frequent victim of snuggles, cuddles and whiny demands for affection. He never remembers it, though, and even when shown video evidence he’ll excuse it as “just a once-off thing” and “you guys are just exaggerating it to be funny”.

Stage Name: Yejoon Birth Name: Moon Ye Joon Position: Main Vocal, Dancer Birthday: 1991 Zodiac: Gemini Height: 178cm Weight: kg Blood Type: AB Favourite Colour: Black Favourite Food: Thai green curry Least Favourite Food: Mushrooms, violently and irrationally Hobbies: FASHION, freestyle dance

Facts: - Even though he’s a year younger than Hyunwoo and Chanyoung, he’s the de facto leader, as Chanyoung, the real leader, is way too soft to actually take control and Hyunwoo simply doesn’t have the drive. - Despite being the main vocalist and one of the best vocals in the industry overall with a unique clear tone and fantastic range, he actually auditioned as a dancer! - Huge variety star, though not on the same level as Hyunwoo. - Well-known for his unique, genderless and often outrageous fashion choices, especially his manicured nails. - “Mother” of the group, but also the “cat” of the group. He switches between “caring and loving to borderline smothering” and “don’t touch me I hate you go away but also pay attention to me and love me” at the drop of a hat. - Ideal type: someone gentle and warm, someone whose presence feels like a hug, even if you’re just sitting in silence doing your own things in the same room, someone responsible and good-natured, someone older and more mature, someone who can understand his work, someone who has a nice smile, someone who is a little shy but not to the point of being embarrassed to be seen together, someone who will do what he says but can also take the initiative… he is very, very picky.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - DIVA in every sense of the word. Immensely talented in vocals and dance and even a pretty good rapper, bombastic on stage, but extremely demanding and temperamental. He’s undeniably talented, easily one of the top entertainers of his generation, but even despite that and the backing of the largest and most successful company in the industry, he’s still always in the tabloids for attitude scandals. - Was told by the company to “fix” his tooth gap as a teenage trainee, but he refused and threw a tantrum about it, and now it’s become his trademark. - Used to be very very thin, unhealthily so, and put on a lot of weight in the past few years (even though he is still skinny) both in fat and muscle tone. Even though he objectively looks much better, some people act like he’s stopped caring about his body, and that he should be ashamed of putting on so much weight. He has responded by showing off his new curves (which are barely there, but still, compared to how thin he used to be...) even more than ever. #haterswillsayitsphotoshop - Genderfluid, has some more boyish days and some more womanly days and some both and in between and neither, and doesn’t really care how people refer to him. - In a serious relationship with Chanyoung. They’ve had a nebulous romantic and sexual relationship since their rookie era, but with Chanyoung’s enlistment, he realised how much he really loved him and spent the 2 years Chanyoung was away either moping or working himself to death. To say he was happy that Chanyoung felt the same way and wanted to be with him no matter what is an understatement… even Yejoon’s detractors (of which there are many) have noted how he glows lately.

Stage Name: Hyunwoo Birth Name: Kang Hyun Woo Position: Vocal Birthday: 1990 Zodiac: Libra Height: 180cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Light blue Favourite Food: Affogato Least Favourite Food: Stinky tofu Hobbies: Telling jokes, nagging

Facts: - Impulsive’s variety king. He might only have 5 lines every comeback, but he's hosting 5 shows! - Though Impulsive were popular from debut, they skyrocketed to fame after Hyunwoo introduced the group on [insert funny parody name of Strong Heart] and, more importantly, the “official pairings”, which are: 2joon (Taejoon & Yejoon, Dog & Cat Couple), rodae (Romain & Daeho, Prince & Princess Couple), and chanhyun (Chanyoung & Hyunwoo, Leftovers Couple). It was the first time an idol openly acknowledged and encouraged fan shipping, and was considered both hugely controversial and extremely funny, especially with how blunt he was about simply forgetting to ship himself or Chanyoung and how simple his reasoning for the others was (2joon are very close but have virtually opposite ways of showing affection which makes their interactions funny to watch, as Taejoon is very physically affectionate and Yejoon is a total tsundere, and Romain and Daeho aren’t really that close but Romain looks like a European prince and Daeho looks like a pretty princess). - His nosejob is fairly obvious when you look at his rookie era photos, but he acknowledges it and attributes it to Daeho accidentally breaking it during practice, so he had to get it fixed. - ideal type: someone who listens well!

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Knows his career as an idol will be fleeting, and is trying his hardest not only to keep himself afloat with all his variety hostings and guestings, but also to make sure his group stays relevant. He’s done more to keep Yejoon out of trouble than their company has, and their company works HARD for Yejoon. - Though you wouldn’t know it from seeing him at work, he actually suffers pretty badly from anxiety. Part of how he copes is through being a motormouth! - The story behind his nosejob is true, except for the part where it was an accident. Daeho had actually just thrown a particularly good punch for a young teen, and one on purpose and in a fit of anger after Hyunwoo had ignored Daeho asking him to be quiet while he was practicing and kept talking loudly with a back dancer. It was a massive internal incident at the time as they had just had two back-to-back chart-topping singles and Hyunwoo is a variety staple and Daeho is by far the most popular member of the group, so it wasn’t as simple as putting either of them on ice. Luckily, that same day, the album production had hit a standstill and they had to delay their next comeback anyway, so Hyunwoo had time to get his nose repaired (and turned into the “ideal” while they were there, which isn’t anything like his original nose, which is why some people doubt the “accident” story) and Daeho got effectively grounded.

Stage Name: Daeho Birth Name: Park Dae Ho Position: Vocal, Maknae Birthday: 1994 Zodiac: Capricorn Height: 171cm Weight: kg Blood Type: A Favourite Colour: Coral pink Favourite Food: Steak, blue Least Favourite Food: Eggplant Hobbies: Reading about true crime, doing experiments on the hyungs

Facts: - The pretty princess of Impulsive and the forever baby maknae! - Very famous for his beautiful, waist-long black hair and his sweet face, he’s considered one of the industry’s top beauties, even over girl group members! - Super 4D, always thinking and saying bizarre things. Combined with his resting bitch face, it can sometimes come off creepy… - Ideal type: none

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - Really, really hates his “pretty princess” nickname. - Hates it when people misgender him in general. Once as a mistake is annoying enough, if understandable given that he cultivates a very traditionally feminine appearance, but he loathes being constantly called a girl just because of his looks, and especially hates that it goes hand-in-hand with people infantilising him. He just likes wearing pretty clothes and having his hair long! - Unsurprisingly, as he debuted at a very young age and does have such feminine looks, he’s seen the worst of society and has very little love for the human race, least of all their fans. He sees them as desperate losers at best and inhuman hordes of zombie scum that should be put down at worst. Really doesn’t see how anyone can like their fans as anything more than ATMs, let alone be as lovey-dovey as Romain is with them. - Maybe started a cult?

Stage Name: Chanyoung Birth Name: Lee Chan Young Position: Main Rapper, Leader Birthday: 1990 Zodiac: Libra Height: 177cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Black Favourite Food: Melon cream bun Least Favourite Food: None Hobbies: DJing, working out, getting bullied by the members

Facts: - Down-to-earth and a little shy, he only became the leader because he’s the oldest, and only became the main rapper because he’s the only one who can rap (or at least could at debut, Taejoon, Yejoon and Romain have all practiced rapping on their own now) but he’s still loved by all as the glue that keeps the group together. - Doesn’t go on variety much by himself because he has no variety sense, but with Hyunwoo’s help, he’s slowly getting better. Mostly by making fun of himself, but still. - Ideal type: Someone who’s bold and confident and can pull him out of his comfort zone, but who has a secret soft side that only he can see.

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - His past as a hilariously bad, off-beat, flow-less, babyfaced rookie rapper follows him even though he has genuine bars these days. He gets NO respect. - Left for the army earlier than expected after being caught in a drunk driving scandal. The company was more than ready to cover it up for him, being the leader of one of their most successful groups of all time and all, but he was deeply ashamed and wanted to repent properly. He was always the least popular member so not a lot of people cared that much about his scandal or his subsequent return, but he still gets a fair amount of justified hate, even though he’s learned his lesson. - In a serious relationship with Yejoon. They’ve had a nebulous romantic and sexual relationship since their rookie era, but Chanyoung knows how individualistic Yejoon is and didn’t want to tie him down by putting a name to their relationship before going to the army and thus leaving him alone for 2 years, because despite loving him to the point he’d die for him, he wasn’t sure if Yejoon was that serious and felt it was better to let him go and see if he still felt the same way once he returned. He was very relieved to find out that Yejoon did indeed miss him as badly as he missed Yejoon, and ecstatic when Yejoon immediately said yes to an exclusive relationship. But now, the question is… when is the right time to ask Yejoon to marry him? And why doesn’t he realise that Yejoon suggesting and them both getting left side underbust couple tattoos (Yejoon’s: “always on my mind”, Chanyoung’s: “forever in my heart”) is already basically wedding rings?

Stage Name: Romain Birth Name: Romain Min Hyuk Lee Position: Rapper, Dancer, Visual Birthday: 1992 Zodiac: Leo Height: 183cm Weight: kg Blood Type: O Favourite Colour: Silver Favourite Food: Boeuf bourguignon Least Favourite Food: Pickled radish Hobbies: Playing pranks, clothes shopping

Facts: - Has a French mother and a Korean father, but was born and raised in Korea and only went to France for his primary and middle school years. - Was scouted while working as a clothing model. - Impulsive’s “romantic prince”, famous for his somewhat terrifying fanservice: even if you’ve only met him once before, he’ll remember! And then get upset if you mention having a boyfriend who isn’t him. - Ideal type: “our fans are my girlfriends~”

BEHIND THE SCENES DATA: - He genuinely is that weird about their fans. Like a reverse delulu stan, he treats every fan like they’re his real girlfriends. On the rare occasion that male fans come to meet him more than once, he treats them the same, but also gets extra jealous around them, like he wants to make sure that they only pay attention to him and won’t be seduced by all his “girlfriends”. - Very, very wealthy. While he’s obviously not a real French prince given, like, the revolution and all, his family is old money and his mother not only old money but also a CEO for a technology company who SG may have interest in... - While he doesn’t care about the members (and other people he knows outside of his idol life) casually using his Korean name (Minhyuk), he finds it deeply uncomfortable when fans do.

About Me As A Writer

Tagged by @shitabukenjirou ~ <3

1. How did you come up with your username and what does it mean? Foxyena and FoxyenaArts is my name for all platforms. It makes me easy for commissioners to find, and dates back to my years doing furry art commissions, which is also where the name originates.

2. Which fanfic of yours has the most feedback? (bookmarks/subscriptions/hits/kudos).

Well, the most hits & kudos is Skipping Practice with nearly 17k hits and ~630 kudos, but Courtship of the Owl has the most subscriptions and bookmarks.

3. What is your AO3 profile icon, and why did you choose it?

The same as the one I use here. I tend to only use one icon for all sites at once, and I love Matsukawa + glasses and smoking aesthetic so~

4. Do you have any regular/favourite commenters?

I do! I don’t know most of their tumblr usernames, but there certainly are a few lovely people I am always excited to see comments from.

5. Is there a fanfic that you keep going back to read again and again?

Honestly, there’s a few. I reread fics a lot, but my favorite that I find myself always coming back to is Lust and Lies by DeathBelle aka @worthlesspride.

6. How many stories are you subscribed to? How many do you have bookmarked?

I currently have 253 bookmarks and 223 subscriptions.

7. Which AU do you find yourself writing the most?

I don’t have a particular AU. I have ~50 fics in progress and aside from those in a series, they vary from Transhumanism/Cyborg AU to cute lil’ Coffee Shop AU. I actually try really hard to have variety.

8. How many people are subscribed and bookmarked to you in total? (you can view this on the stats page)

348 Subscriptions and 525 Bookmarks

9. Is there something you’d like to write about but are afraid of people judging you for it? (Feeling brave? If so, share it!)

I have a TenSemi fic titled Human Juice that is literally nothing but all of my kinks out in the open and I’m so sorry for anyone who chooses to read that whenever I release it. It has everything from Erotic Electrostimulation to Blood Play and more. So much more. If you wanna know more about it, feel free to ask I guess lol.

10. Is there anything you would like to be better at? Writing certain scenes or genres, replying to comments, updating better, etc.

Fluff and just.. happy things. I thrive on painful/angsty/poetic forms of writing and I struggle with just letting them be happy for once.

11. Do you write rarepairs or popular ships more often?

Both! Right now my posted works are mostly popular ships for main ship, but I have dozens of fics in the works for rare pairs like MatsuKuro, GoshiShira, SemiSuga, OiYama, and more. Courtship of the Owl even has Komori/Konoha in it.

12. How many stories have you posted on AO3 to this day (finished and unfinished)?

Only 9, but that is about to change real soon ‘cause Avery here has no self control and can’t write just one fic at once apparently.

13. How many stories do you have saved in/with your writing program?

63 total. 7 of them are for YOI, and the rest are all Haikyuu!!

14. Do you write down story ideas, or just keep them in your head?

I write down all of them. My process actually starts with coming up with a title and creating a premise and theme around the title of the fic.

15. Have you ever co-authored a story?

Yessir! I have co-authored 2 works with @tettsuroo, though one is not complete yet.

16. How did you discover AO3?

I honestly don’t remember.

17. Do you consider yourself to be a popular or famous author in your fandom(s) on AO3?

Absolutely not.

18. Do you have a nickname or fandom name for your readers?

nnnnoooo?

19. Was there an author who inspired or encouraged you to write?

Several, but most notably was @worthlesspride, @tettsuroo, and @kaiyouchan.

20. What writing advice would you give to a beginning author?

Learn from other authors. Pay attention to what you like about their works and learn from your peers. Don’t be afraid to reach out, make friends, and create a network of support around you. Learn from others, but always be you.

21. Do you plot out your stories, or do you just figure it out as you go?

I’ve done both. Courtship of the Owl has a 22 page outline detailing everything that happens in it, while Petals of Pining never had an outline at all. One-shots normally don’t get outlines either. Just lengthy, detailed multi-chapters that have complex plots and subtle details/foreshadowing.

22. Have you ever gotten a bad comment on a story? If so, what did you do?

Yes, I have. Someone who I had read and commented on their work supportively commented on one of mine; they disagreed with the ending I wrote and tried to “fix” it, telling me what should have happened and ending the comment saying something similar to “now all is right with your world”. I simply commented stating I had revoked any and all support/comments/bookmarks of their work and that I didn’t want to associate with someone who thought that was appropriate behavior.

23. Is there a certain type of scene that you have a hard time writing? (action, smut, etc..)

I struggle with scene transitions sometimes. How does one get from point A to point B...

24. What story(s) are you working on now?

You Can See My List of Current Projects Here But Courtship of the Owl and my Secret Santa ficlet + art is my primary focus atm. That list is roughly in priority order. Roughly.

25. Do you plan your next project(s) before you finish your current ongoing story(s)?

I mean... have you seen my Current Projects list?

26. Do you have a daily writing goal set for yourself?

Mm not really. I try to at least work on something daily, though. The amount may vary depending on how strenuous my job was that day or if I had time to be on the computer or if I was writing on my phone.

27. Do you think you’ve improved as a writer since you first started?

Sometimes I wanna vomit when I read work that I wrote only a few months ago so I would assume so, yes.

28. What is your favorite story that you’ve written?

Demons Wear Contacts. It’s not released yet, but it’s a Demon!Matsukawa MatsuHana fic. I’ve never had so much fun writing before. The fic is in Makki’s perspective, and will be my next multichapter fic after Courtship of the Owl is done.

29. What is your least favorite story that you’ve written?

My early works, especially the YOI ones. I had never really written before and while I’ve still only been writing for about a year now, they make me cringe so hard. I’ve been thinking about orphaning them, honestly.

30. Where do you see yourself (as a writer) in 5 years?

Probably doing the same thing I am now, maybe for a new fandom. I hope to do more zines though. I’ve quite enjoyed those.

31. What is the easiest thing about writing?

For me, it’s sensations. I love writing what people feel, the emotions, the sensations of touch, taste, see, etc. Or planning. I’m really good at plannin’ stuff.

32. What is the hardest thing about writing?

Finding the time and energy to dedicate to doing it. Also writing fluff. I’m so bad at writing happy things, you guys.

33. Why do you write?

It’s something I enjoy, and it’s another way I can be part of a community, a network of people who enjoy what I do and I can build friendships with.
