Leila, you're one of my favorite fanfic writers and creators (I literally could never match you so): 8.) what’s your relationship with constructive criticism and feedback like? do you seek it out? how well do you take it?, 25.) what’s your revision or rewriting process like?, 31.) tell us about one of your characters who’s an absolute joy to write, 39.) are you an avid reader?, and 12.) do you ever have trouble focusing on writing? how do you get around that?

Grace!! Coming from you that is such praise, because I absolutely adore your writing--every work I've read of yours is nothing short of fantastic!

8. what’s your relationship with constructive criticism and feedback like? do you seek it out? how well do you take it? I'll certainly take feedback from a beta, especially when I'm writing something that falls outside my comfort zone (for example, I wrote explicit smut for the very first just last year, and I designated one of my friends as my smut beta.) Additionally, I'll have the lovely, talented @barbarahoward beta my fics sometimes. But, like every other fic writer, unsolicited criticism and feedback is a big no. If I want criticism, I'll ask for it, and always from people I trust to give me good meaningful feedback. I've definitely gotten my fair share of weird comments (for example, I remember a fic I wrote from the perspectives of multiple characters and a comment I got where someone told me I should change my writing style for each new perspective... which isn't... a thing that can be done.)

12. do you ever have trouble focusing on writing? how do you get around that? The biggest way I overcome any form of writers block, inability to focus, is sprinting tbh! It forces me to write words, any words, even if they're crap. I can always polish them later.

25. what’s your revision or rewriting process like? I edit/rewrite portions of scenes as I write the fic, in doing so, it lets me weave in foreshadowing and motifs and references that creep up later and makes the work more cohesive overall, I find. And then of course, once the final piece is done, I do a couple of edits and if I feel so inclined, have one of my friends read it over and beta it.

31. tell us about one of your characters who’s an absolute joy to write It's been a hot minute since I've written nhie, but Devi is truly a joy to write because I see so much of myself in her. Some of the earliest fics I wrote for nhie often involved me taking how *I* would respond to a certain situation, amping the intensity of the emotional response up to 11, and then writing Devi

39. are you an avid reader? Yes! Other than singing, reading is honestly one of my favourite hobbies. I go through periods where I read a lot (often followed by periods where I do not read at all because I'm busy with school), but I truly, truly love to read. It's such a good de-stresser and I love to discuss books with people. I think a lot of the reason that I'm a strong writer comes from the fact that I've read so much.

Stop adapting the iliad and the Odyssey into movies. You'll never succeed. Adapt them into shounen anime, as is their god given right

Happy 12k celebration Leila! ✨ TSLOCG Kimberly x Canaan, of the top gif (in B+W) saying "I see you with more of a sweet boy" or "You're describing nerds/ Yes I am, glad you picked up on that" then colored gifs below of Canaan describing his impact investing, getting award in the econ department, saying Chopin was the pitbull of his day, encouraging Kimberly to do her econ homework, helping her with the food workers strike, etc then the bottom gif (in B+W) of Kimberly "you're the nerd, nerd'

So many people complaining about the closing ceremonies have clearly never watched a closing ceremony before.

Dance party segment with a bunch of famous to the host country bands playing? NORMAL

Montage of the games showing winners and losers? NORMAL

Another historical/artistic segment that is usually hard to understand? NORMAL

Marathon winner getting their medal at the closing ceremony? NORMAL (though it being woman instead of men was a first!)

Crazy light show with flashing lights, fireworks ect. NORMAL

There are people out there who have said nothing about the dutch child rapist competing in the olympics but have now declared that they care deeply about women’s safety and ethics in sports.
