20 Questions for Fic Writers

@symphorine has tagged me, thank you!

tagging @cursedhaglette, @eraserspiral, and @pouroverpaloma though these questions might not be everyone's cup of tea so no pressure!! <3

1) How many works do you have on AO3?

14! Soon to be 15 once I've finished my one shot :)

2) What’s your total AO3 word count?

*,***,***. I don't like to talk about this number because it embarrasses me :'))))

3) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

all the usual suspects tbh!

Pieces Still Stuck In Your Teeth

Party Favours

A Bleeding Heart

An Honest Lie

The Stars Don't Shine, They Burn (a fic I've become increasingly conflicted about, but it is also one of the things I'm most proud of so)

4) What fandoms do you write for?

fantasy rpgs, with a quick illness over ben barnes before he became cringe on his instagram

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

I try to reply to all of them honestly. I am not successful (there were two depressions that took away my ability), but I try my best bc I remember the days when I got like 3 comments and it was so exciting and I replied to everyone. The people who comment on my work now are just as important as those first three people, so I try to acknowledge how much they still mean to me!

6) What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

For all I put my characters through it™, Sunblindness is the only fic with a non-happy ending.

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

I guess Party Favours? I still think about Astarion watering houseplants out of boyfriend obligation, often.

8) Do you get hate on fics?

occasionally, but it's never interesting. like I know what's wrong with my writing if you're going to be mean to me at least be accurate about it.

9) Do you write smut?

dear lord, I'm trying my best.

10) Do you write crossovers?

I have written 2 crossovers and one of them was for the Stardust movie which is getting a little too close for comfort :)))))))

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

yes.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

people made requests to translate Pieces, but then never updated me on if it happened or not!

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

nah, I'm not a group project kind of girlie

14) What’s your all-time favorite ship?

not actually any of the ones i write for! Howl x Sophie, Spike x Buffy are probably my favourite but I find the character voices too restrictive for what I like to write.

shout out to Rosalie/Astarion for literally curing me of the classic "plays the same videogame romances the same person" sickness. I like rotating the two of them together so much in my mind that I have to have my other Tavs look elsewhere.

15) What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I don't doubt I'll finish everything eventually do to my social anxiety, but I think an honest lie gets that way sometimes just bc it's a long slog of a fic lmao

16) What are your writing strengths?

I honestly think consistency is my biggest strength, which is such a dull one but idk I have no doubt I'll finish the things I'm writing eventually and i hope the reader base know to trust me with certain stories on the back of what I've done before!

(idk man i hate talking nicely about myself let's move on)

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

the overwriting has gotten extremely out of hand. fic is a very forgiving format for where more is just more, but there's a reason my overall wordcount embarrasses me. I hope this will just make original fiction very forgiving when I have to cut EVERYTHING down.

18) Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in a fic?

as an english-first-language girlie, I try to avoid it. I've now done it once and it was necessary but I didn't want to keep it up for long enough once it communicated the plot point it needed to. I think it can be done well, but don't use google translate, for the love of fucking god.

19) First fandom you wrote for?

dragon age inquisition :)

20) Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Unfortunately my favourite was the Stardust one which is a fact that is aging badly.

I think I'll always have a soft spot for my zevran/warden soulmate AU because that's my comfort pairing and my comfort trope

Last Line Game

I was tagged by @niennawept to post the last line I wrote in my WIP! Thank you for thinking of me!! :D I loved being tagged in these sorts of games.

Here's the last line I wrote in Beneath a Boundless Sky:

I would have been such a good roach, Thalionel thought proudly as he watched. He did know his way around a horse, and carrying a shield wasn’t hard.

And here's the last line I wrote in To Partake:

Elrond slings the sack of flour down, and then gives her a bright smile and bows at the waist.

Edit: I forgot to tag people! Tagging: @jaz-the-bard @that-angry-noldo @polutrope @greyjedijaneite and anyone else who wants to play!

thanks for the tag @goldenjuniper ! ^^ googling executive dysfunction is such a mood, i feel you,,,

last song: Deliver Us (Opening Song) from Prince of Egypt !! :D i love love love that movie and recently started listening to the soundtrack and watching clips of it again, by far my favourite song

favourite colour: hrmmm, none really but i’ve been leaning more to warm colours like yellow and orange right now! very pretty

last book: i haven’t really picked up a book in a while (cough fanfics cough) but the last one i remember which was like. a week ago, was the Aeneid by Virgil! such a fun readdd, i get giddy reading it

last movie: still sonic 3 ^^; haven’t watched any movies recently

last show: House MD . noo elaboration,, i want to finish it

sweet/spicy/savoury: spicy!! savoury is a very close second. i just can never rlly taste and enjoy food unless there’s a ton of flavour and when it’s sweetness with a ton of flavour i can’t handle it well ^^;

relationship: no romantic ones! but my friends,, my friends make me smile and laugh and feel happy every day just thinking of them,, (looking very specifically but not limited to at @teshiee )

last google search: how long does it take for popsicles to freeze. i made popsicles today! :D wanted to see how long they’d take until they were done
