3, 6, 8, 15, 16, 27, 28, 29? (for ao3 wrapped)
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Okay okay oh boy oh boy
3. I think I'm gonna have to check what I posted this year first but I think I have an answer.
So I'm gonna go with "Neat Freak" with "Alone Time" as a close second. Last year I started writing my first (yet unposted) smut and it's this year I've started posting for real. I can't understate Alone Time's impact on me in writing challenging fic (ambiguously trans/cis characters in this case), especially with my first otp, but Neat Freak? Oh boy.
Neat Freak has such a hold on me for a number of reasons. It's the longest one shot I posted this year, I churned it out for like a few weeks straight, L and Light would not stop talking they would not let me be free. It took up huge space in my brain, it was my first real attempt with (non ambiguously) trans characters, it was my first fic for a fandom. I enjoy it immensely, and no matter how the numbers are, I feel really accomplished for capturing the characters the way I wanted to, getting into the character's headspace so I didn't feel afraid (with it being my first Death Note fic and all), and evoking their dynamic in the way I'd desired when the idea first struck my brain. It was a frustrating one to edit and I was impatient to finish, but it was worth it.

6. I know it said favorite but I'm gonna tier it anyways. My number three favorite goes to "Holding Back is Overrated", my number two goes to "He's My Girlfriend, My Partner, My One and Only", and my number one goes to
*cue drumroll*
"Space Dust"
At the time I'd thought about saving that title for a future IZ fic or something but man do I love that title
ㅤ
8. Ahshsbsj time to check again but considering my jumping around I have a feeling it'll be a tie between Soriku and ZbDb
...so yeah
ㅤ
15. Hoo boy. If it's one I started this year and never finished or posted in any capacity, I'd say a certain Zbakr for Xion's fusion au. If it's a chaptered fic I started posting and need to post more of next year, I'd say "He is my Girlfriend, My Partner, My One and Only". And if it's wip I've carried with me for years and haven't post it but dammit I will get it out, I'll go with a certain longass hishiba neo twewy oneshot.
ㅤ
16. Oh wow that's a good question. I actually don't know. Let's see what ao3 says.
So ao3 says it's fluff with variations of "not beta read" in at a close second. I'd say I'm surprised with the first one, but also it's only tagged in 11 fics out of 46 so far, so I'd say I just apparently don't use many of the same tags😂😂
ㅤ
27. When I do listen to stuff while writing it's often some song I'm hopelessly obsessed with that's usually faster paced. Earlier this year, I listened to Pleiades by Harusaruhi, Touch Tone Telephone by Lemon Demon, The Mind Electric by Miracle Musical, No One Lives Forever by Oingo Boingo, and Partners in Crime by set it off (just to name some) quite a bit. About the middle of the year I listened to My Time by Bo En (and the version on the Omori Soundtrack), You're Gonna Go Far Kid by The Offspring, Starlight Brigade feat. Dan Avidan, and Spider Dance by Toby Fox. These days my writing music is filled with One Ok Rock's Album, Luxury Disease (including Vandalize, Neon, Mad World, and Broken Heart of Gold), Light and L's themes from the Death Note Sountrack, the Taiko Mix Version of R.Y.U.S.E.I, and Enigma by Tart.
So I guess better (shorter) answer? It's all over the place. Generally it has to do with whatever is the main overarching hyperfixation at the time and what songs remind me of my fav characters from it.
ㅤ
28. Oh god this is hard. I think this is the year, more than others, I decided to write things that cater almost 100% to me. I posted to multiple different fandoms and rarely repeated ships, so to be honest I greatly enjoy all of them. I'll have to go with one off the top of my head, so to give a fic other than Neat Freak the spotlight, I'm going to choose Alone Time.
As I said, soriku was one of my first large otps (which I'm sure you can tell if you've seen my fandom imbalanced list of fics). While being an experiment and a venture into something new (for multiple reasons), Alone Time was also a fic that reassured me that I hadn't lost my characterizations from soriku nor my Kingdom Hearts hyperfixation. It was just such a treat writing them again, especially Riku's pov, and I enjoyed just really digging into feelings, getting to write an ace take on a character, all the imagery, and the challenge it brought (what, with the ambiguous genitals and the rewrite of an old scene that needed to be better but also as true to my original take as I could get it). I think I've reread Alone Time a lot this year.
ㅤ
29. Woof now I'm definitely going to have to go back. I know I only posted like 10 fics but god do they all cater to me so hard
Hmmmmmm
Okay so rest assured I chose a sfw passage (only possible exception is a mention of a feeling in the private area? But this section is all feelings). Here's an excerpt towards the end of "Alone Time" that makes me go absolutely crazy
A million thoughts swirl into Riku’s brain, accompanied by a flurry of memories. It’s all fuzzy, all indiscernible, all so much at once, until a second, different heartbeat, begins to pound in his ears with his own, drowning out all the noise.
“You’re my light.” The Soras are one in the same.
As their hearts beat together, in tune, a wave of physical feeling hits Riku like a wave. Phantom touches erupt all over his body, some of which are contradictory in nature. There are two different touches at his lips, two different touches at his privates, sensation where he can feel no one is touching him.
“Like…hah…starlight.” Sora giggles between a few particularly heavy breaths.
Riku was wrong before. He’s neither falling apart at Sora’s touch, nor bursting at the seams. All that makes up the being that is “Riku” is held between Sora’s hands, being stretched and kneaded and molded as Sora wills. Riku lets himself be pulled apart and squeezed back together over and over and over.
“My starlight.”
A new wave of feelings waterfalls down, pouring atop Riku’s head, rushing into his very soul. Despite his inability to think, these feelings he recognizes best. Arousal, awe, embarrassment, smugness, pleasure, joy, and an emotion larger than the rest, one that threatens to wash him away with its sheer volume. It’s love. Sora’s love.
Riku presses his lips against Sora’s, tears pricking the corners of his eyes once more. Feelings upon feelings upon feelings, compounded, overwhelm every sense and stimulate Riku’s body, mind, and heart to its limits. It’s exactly what he’d desired– No. It’s leagues greater, beyond what he’d imagined. It’s nothing like the first time Riku came here, and much better than the last—however long ago that may be now.
Sora trusts him. Sora still trusts him to touch his very heart, to feel everything he feels. It’s a little stupid, he knows, to fear the opposite to be true, but it’s been ages since they’ve gotten to be truly alone together. It’s nice to be reassured, heart to heart, that your husband loves love loves you, so much.
ㅤ
Anyways, thank you for the ask, friend! It's making me so excited getting to talk about all this tbh😊

5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 22, 31 which sounds like a lot but I’m nosy so just roll with it 😂 you don’t have to answer them all if you don’t want.
5. Top five formative books?
OH man, I am actually not totally sure?? Let’s see what I can come up with:
Salamandastron by Brian Jaques
The Winnie-the-Pooh stories and poetry of A.A. Milne
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare
Any poetry by Edna St Vincent Millay
6. Favorite character you’ve written?
How dare!!!!! I have so many fun ones! I have to pick more than one and you have to deal, sorry. My favorite characters of mine to write are Christian from Sheraton Academy, Chayton from One More Time (With Feeling), Pascal from In the Lion’s Teeth, and Seamus from The Fairy Portal.
8. Do you have any writing buddies or critique partners?
No critique partners, because nobody is interested in critiquing my work and I am very slow at critiquing for other people, but I do have lots of writing buddies!
9. Favorite/least favorite tropes?
Favorites: coffee shop au, BEDSHARING, friends to lovers
Least favorites: enemies to lovers, a/b/o
12. Which story of yours do you like best? why?
Definitely Until Our Hearts Go Numb! It’s not the first I wrote but it’s the first I released, and that may have been a mistake because I’ve written some really good stuff since then, but not as good as that. ;-; Sales are down a lot for my ebooks (I haven’t even gotten a check this year), so I’m thinking of just saying “fuck it” and releasing them on Ao3.
22. Tell us about the books on your “to write” list
The Princess and the Pirate: a steampunk low fantasy middle grade level book that takes place in an imagined land called The Land of Five Kingdoms. I know, super original. But each place is unique, with its own culture. Princesses Rakhee and Savitri of Selan are held prisoner in the palace by their aunt after their parents die. Savitri is supposed to have been crowned queen but through the pulling of some political strings, their aunt gets her place instead. Rakhee is thrown in the dungeons and Savitri is locked in her room. They escape with the help of their Godmother Alta and the Queen of the Mice and her court and are forced to flee in order to regroup. In the process, they’re taken prisoner again by a group of land bound pirates, but manage to negotiate a deal and hire the pirates on to help them find safe passage. Of course, a lot goes even wronger than it already has.
That Boy/That Girl: Just copying and pasting from my WIP page: Kandi’s just your average sixteen year old girl: she likes slumber parties with her friends, is involved in extracurriculars, and loves cooking. Oh, also her family is dead and she lives alone with her older brother. And she’s trans. And she’s organizing a citywide event almost singlehandedly, until Jack comes along and becomes her partner in crime. But when they both find out they’re competing in the same cooking competition for things like scholarships and internships, suddenly a lot more is on the line. Will their friendship be able to make it through the trials of competition and blossom into more? Or will it crash and burn like an overdone souffle? YA romance/coming of age story.
Die Engelmacher (working title): Sigrun’s father is dead. Murdered. Executed with two well aimed bullets from a hitman’s gun. She’s never been completely stable, full of alternating rage and ennui, but when her father is murdered, it pushes her over the edge, and she goes on a rampage through the city, through every other mob family, close by or not. But the more she learns, the more she and her team start to realize this job may be closer to the family than they thought. (A mobster Hamlet AU set during the US Prohibition.)
and the untitled fic about Dexter and Bunny, which is the one I REALLY REALLY want to write once I’m done with all the editing I’m doing now: Dexter is only seventeen when he’s kicked out by his abusive parents. His best friend, Bunny, helps set him up in a group home for homeless LGBTQ+ youth run by two trans women who decided to pay their own good experiences forward. Trouble is, Carolyn and Markie are doing it as a personal favor to Bunny, and Dexter is straight. Or, so he makes everyone think. Meanwhile, Bunny’s feelings for his best friend start to grow stronger as Dexter starts to get stable now that he’s in a friendly home, and obviously Dexter doesn’t care that Bunny’s gay, but… it’s different when a gay friend has a crush on you, right? A story of two boys navigating high school, relationships, and the world together, and maybe eventually ending up on the same page. slice of life/romance/coming of age
31. Top five favorite books in your genre?
PFFFT WHAT GENRE I write a little of a lot of things, although it’s mostly contemporary stuff.
Contemporary (coincidentally I found all of these in a thrift store in the gay district):
Miles Walker, You’re Dead by Linda Jaivlyn
Period by Dennis Cooper
It Was Gonna Be Like Paris by Emily Listfield (tw for transphobia)
Other books I really love anyway:
anything early Brian Jaques
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll
HOLY COW well that was an adventure! Thank you for being so interested in my reading choices and my work! It’s super validating and it means so much to me.

If Eddie is trans in the Crime Puppets AU, does that mean the murder husbands can have murder kids some time in the future?
I mean. Fuckin. I dunno ??? 😂
#I feel like the intent of this ask was supposed to be way less weird than it came out#that’s not uh. necessarily something I considered for a few reasons 😂#one being that Eddie being trans doesn’t by default mean he could…have kids?#there’s plenty of trans men who just don’t have the ability to do that anymore#and the whole idea isn’t my cup of tea personally#I feel like they’d much rather adopt anyways#I could see them with a kid or two that way :)#murder family is an absolute 10/10 concept imo#crime puppets au
