✦ what was your easiest fic to write & your hardest?

☉ what do you do when you get stuck writing?

✄ what’s your editing process?

✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?

tysm for the ask!! 🩵🩵 be prepared for a lot of yapping

✦ what was your easiest fic to write & your hardest?

easiest fic: this is a bit of a hard qn bc ive written 58 fics so far through the years and i forgot half the things i wrote kfjjfj but id say, the easiest was probably my first ever real fic, i.e. this hualian hurt/comfort fic where hc has a nightmare of the 100 swords scene. it was the first thing i wrote right after finishing reading tgcf and i wrote it all in one go and the dialogue & actions & characterization flowed so easily, i could picture the scene so easily in my head (which doesn't always happen for me). and writing hualian felt like the easiest thing in the world bc back in 2020 every little detail about them as characters and as a ship was imprinted in my mind so vividly... i miss those days 😔 my memory abilities have deteriorated since then

otherwise, iirc my first ever fengqing fic and my fenglian poem were also very easy to write

hardest fic: 😭😭 this could be so many of my fics tbh, there's so many i struggle so much with.. especially the unfinished wips, bc everything i actually posted means it wasn't the hardest, since i actually managed to finish them

but among my posted wips, i definitely struggled with the earlier chapters of my hualian fake dating au very badly at the earlier chapters and almost gave up on it which was why there was a 1-2 year gap btwn updates 😭😭 i actually went into a 1-2 year long burnout right after posting chap 1. luckily though, the most recent chapters got much better for me, finally reached a part of the story that's much easier and more fun to write (except that i wrote myself into a bit of a corner so ive been brainstorming how to get out of it). i just struggle a lot with multichaps bc my executive dysfunction issues make it very overwhelming for me to plot things. but im very determined to see this fic through to the end and finish my first ever multichap!

there's a lot more i struggled with - usually longer fics, fics for a new fandom (especially visual media fandoms. book/text-based fandoms are much easier bc you already have a canon peek into their character voice and narration style), non-canon ships that need a lot of wrangling to be believable, fics where i worry a lot about being ooc, fics that need action scenes or a real plot

the rest of the qns answered under the cut:

☉ what do you do when you get stuck writing?:

😭 it depends on why im stuck. i might ask someone for help w characterization. sometimes i just go for a jog/walk to clear my head and it works, otherwise if im rly stuck, especially plot-wise, I'll procrastinate and put the fic off for weeks/months

✄ what’s your editing process?

just rereading my own draft and rewriting or filling in the blanks where i feel like it can be better or is missing smth. i don't cut scenes often unless they're really bad. sometimes i rearrange entire paragraphs around to make them flow better

✎ how do you think readers would guess a fic was yours if you posted anonymously?

this is an apt question bc i have 2 anon fics rn and had a few in the past that i took off anon a couple of years later.. i think the easiest way to tell is my authors' notes. in both start & end notes i tend to yap + i usually apologize a lot in the start notes

besides that maybe fic titles (mitski). i think the genres and writing tone/vibe through my 50+ fics have varied a lot so i don't think that would be distinctive.. id be interested to hear if my writing style is distinctive bc i have no idea myself 🤔 i know i have some phrases i reuse across fics though (trying to work on that issue), and a bad habit of having long sentences sometimes (ive really been working on reducing this issue)

(send me an ask from the fic ask game part 1 or the fic ask game part 2)

SHINee game! Lucifer(rearranged version), Sherlock(the version from SW4) and Hitchhiking (the version from SW5)

EEEE shinee game time!!! 🩵 and this has a TWIST omg well listen. i’ve just rewatched/listened to all of these so i could be as accurate as possible but the situation was clear from the start: (it’s a read more bc well. you’ve got some of my very favorites here and you know how i get about my favorites. spoiler there’s an entire essay w links and a video down there)

see swc4 sherlock live for sooo many reasons (like it was right when i got into shinee and i’ve watched swc4 sooo many times, and how i’d do nearly anything to hear jjong’s doo bee doo thing live, and how i love the added flare of the extra little bit of choreo the swc4 version has + it’s finished off with a firework that just leaves you with your jaw to the floor like the singing is absolute top level and so is the dancing and so is the energy it’s literally an exemplary performance of how every concert should look like imo like they are THE standard. also imagine hearing the whispered ‘shinee’s back’ open a song just to have it finish with GIVE IT UP FOR SHINEEEEEEEEE like i have chills right now i would be gasping for air.)

then i’d want to replay lucifer rearranged forever and i don’t think i have to really explain this at all bc it just re-blew my mind all over again relistening to it so let’s all refresh our memories shall we:

and im SO sorry to swc5 hitchhiking but competition was TOUGH there was nothing i could do 😢 but it’s worth mentioning that i think it’s absolutely excellent and another moment of showing everyone how it’s supposed to be done w vocalists dancing the entire full INSANE choreo and still singing like THAT. no words honestly.
