#wip: wickedness at midnight

[arc-angel-o]

Thanks @frodothefair this made me motivated to write more 💕

1. How many works do you have on Ao3?

22, so they can't all be winners

2. What's your total Ao3 word count?

8,365, because I mainly write drabble and ficlet

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Most actively to least actively, of what I've published, Rabbit, Neo Yokio, Goats, Onyx Equinox, Starved, Hetalia, Beck Mongolian Chop Squad, My Girlfriend is an Alien, Ingredients

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Most to least: Pink Christmas Continued, The Oldest Surviving Wooden Building, Matt 6:20, I really wanna fly with you [Infinite Hiatus], Am I really that obvious?

I'm happy with Pink Christmas Continued, but other fics deserve to be on this list more than the others.

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

Yes, I probably haven't answered all of them since I'm very awkward and don't always know what to say, but I try to reply each time as soon as possible. I started on Wattpad, where repeat commenters became friends, so I really value fanfiction as a way to creat community and meet more people.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Either wickedness at midnight or Instant Karma

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Pink Christmas Continued, maybe. Keep in mind for both these questions I don't remember how half my fics ended.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Nothing published yet, I do have some in the drafts. Mainly ace4ace, since I'm asexual, it's easier for me to write if everyone involved is also. Because of this, I've been writing some for canon asexual Rabbit lately, hopefully I can get it out there soon.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

Not often, and usually nothing crazy, but I had an Hannibal × Neo Yokio kinda out there.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but that'd be so cool, I hope one day.

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

No, but that might be fun, maybe with @atlasisntdead since I already send them my first drafts all the time.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

I always come back to kazangelo.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Horror Movie Date Horror and Peppermint Lattes. Both about Matoko uniting Arcangelo and Lexy's friend groups, both I became exhausted from despite how short and fun the premises are.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I've been told that my drabbles and such are able to pack a punch in such a short word count. I think I'm able to capture characters voices pretty well, and at least won't publish anything that I'd tag as out of character.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing anything above a thousand words. I haven't gotten the hang of fight scenes. I can't force myself to write, I'm very slow at it. I'm not always sure my character interactions are realistic, because I don't interact with many. I'm not confident in my writing.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I've done a little bit of that, and I'd like to do more once I'm fluent in something. Would consider learning Tolkien conlangs for a fic in Middle Earth.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

I can't quite remember, but I think it might have been for Percy Jackson.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

Tends to be whatever i most recently published, since i think i do improve everytime, so check out wickedness at midnight

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do and it's ridiculously graphic HAHAHA no but there's a reason I haven't posted any Rexsoka smut. Makin y'all wait for it until they COMMIT, gotta keep that tension in there somewhere uwu.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think I'm pretty good at action. I enjoy it which helps lmao

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I get really ahead of myself laying out hints and red herrings which I then forget about (Princess For A Year especially is the worst about this, I am so sorry for all of those hints about Sylen being a pretend Mandalorian I fucked up so bad with that one but I'm going to rewrite it eventually to bring back a bunch of my dropped subplots)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

I enjoy it and do so regularly. Mando'a nuhur'shya ni ru'kar'tayli. And it makes my brain work in unexpected ways, it's like a puzzle trying to figure out the wacky ass baby's-first-conlang grammar that is Karen's creation (what the fuck kind of language doesn't have a passive voice)

19. First fandom you wrote for?

OKAY OKAY TECHNICALLY, TECHNICALLY????? It was the Lion King. I was in first grade and we had to write a little storybook and illustrate the pages they gave us with crayons and my story was How Simba Lost His Mane lmfaoooo

— Chapter One, The Group from The Clouds

(transcription and taglist under cut)

At the bottom of the avenue, a judicious faces procession was standing in front of the entrance to a bar. Bathed in the gentle breeze, they all loaded up with suitcases, some broader and more striking, in others narrow and dull; some were embellished by eccentric blue, yellow, green, and violet patterns, an infinite number of colors that depicted them; and others represented a most declining and somber canvas of a masterpiece. Most teenagers were immersed in words, and a few (soon to be included) appreciated to their hearts’ content the lanes and the waters, the two or even three-story houses, the birds plummeting; they checked their watches more ceaselessly. Many were dozing on the pavement and on the baggage, with their hands like pillows. At the spontaneous assemblies that had been organized haphazardly, banal and bland affairs proper were questioned to initiate conversations. (They lacked interest, though.) The girls nibbled their lips and spoke in high-pitched tones; the boys fondled their arms up and down and giggled as if they had somehow missed the purpose for which they were there. (How silly, Mike thought.) The kids were scattered whimsically all along the way and all around the Fishheads Bar (Mike read a bit closer), turning sharply to the right and continuing to put up its walls to a faraway souvenir shop.

Time seemingly stood still in Johnson Street. There was the same old scene playing over and over again on the cinema screens. The joy and the din, the endlessly stupid conversations. They were played to the very end, and once they had concluded, the tape would be rewound to repeat itself again. Back and forth, back and forth.

Mike’s approach swelled the throng. He stepped aside after two boys with coarse hairdos and shabby mannerisms and left his pack on his feet. The two guys bickering over the latest news items in the world of strip cartoons, he overheard. There were abstracted discussions on red capes and blue tights, black gowns and midnight strolls, both heroes and villains sketched out on mounds of printed paper. Which heroes? Which villains? What was it but the aspect of good and bad? Honesty was defined in those harsh stories by orthodox feats, the clapping and cheering from the public. But, verily, characters who boasted nobly were nothing other than the hypocritical icons of society. The illusory heroes claiming an imminent salvation of the people, themselves, in the icy blackness of their hearts, the infamous assailants attacking their liberty non-stop; the liars and preachers; the muggers of those empty-handed; the illicit and silent actions. The Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde from the graphic literature. Wickedness shaping them; falsehoods.

The rosy sunset light was diffusing in the air by the same time. It lit up the teenagers and made them glow. The western winds whipped up the chestnut girls’ hairs, as well as the blond and orange ones. It would wave them like the flags wave on a burning California July day: proud and haughty, and with some sense of what is termed power.
