#thanks for asking for comments specifically on lokius you're very thoughtful per usual

4, 11 (specifically for the lokius fic), 18, 30, 35, 43

4. Longest period of time it's taken you to write one fic?

the golden dildo took me six months, the first three to right the second half, and the last three because the first half horrified me so much I didn't actually want to complete the project. I finally finished it in a few hours while house sitting, which is how a lot of my long wips end up getting completed, honestly.

11. Share a favourite comment a reader has left you.

@ceeceetv left me an absolutely fantastic one today on the titular scene in the latest chapter. I've complimented their commenting style before but getting a comment from them is like getting feedback from a college writing professor who really noticed your use of metaphor.

I actually spent a lot of today and yesterday going back and forth about whether me including knives as a narrative foil/sex thing had actually been the move because no one had commented on that particular element of the chapter. I was starting to think "this audience probably isn't actually interested in that" and was kicking myself a little for including it so to have them do such a through and absolute breakdown of that specific scene and how much they enjoyed it ! incredibly validating. I felt very seen.

18. What's your most used additional tag?

that's a good question, probably uh, humiliation kink. and honestly, considering my wip folder that's not stopping any time soon.

30. What do you struggle with most when writing?

I enjoy editing a lot more than I enjoy writing, so there are a lot of times when I just stop the hard part and get overly involved with the tweaking process long before I even have enough of a work to actually tweak. I would much rather polish than create, and that's something that gets me in trouble sometimes.

35. What's your fic with the saddest ending?

the golden dildo 100% because it doesn't end in divorce and instead the cycle repeats and resets.

43. What keeps you motivated when working on a long project?

I always start a long-project with a "scene" in mind that happens near the end that I'm slowly dragging myself toward, chapter by chapter, until I get to write it. I have one for every long project, and sometimes they are very literally the only reason I keep pushing forward on a project.
