20 questions for fic writers
How many works do you have on ao3?
What's your total ao3 word count?
169,903, which is a shock to me because it really doesn't feel like that much.
What fandoms do you write for?
previously teen wolf/sterek and hawaii five-0/mcdanno, currently taking my first stab at rwrb/firstprince
Do you respond to comments?
i do my best! sometimes i'm terrible at it, but i try!
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't really do angsty endings! I'm a HEA kinda girl.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
never hate, but i've had a comment here and there that wasn't necessarily appreciated
not really anymore. i got myself to do it because it felt like the only thing that got traction and maybe if that was good enough it'd be a gateway to the stuff i enjoyed writing (and, frankly, stuff i spent far more time on). and i don't think i'm particularly good at smut anyway lol. but if given the choice between smut or funny/introspective i'm gonna go with the latter every time.
I haven't done a crossover!
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
so idk who remembers this but a while ago there were people who would post people's fics to Goodreads and one of mine wound up there and those reviews hurt my feelings enough that i quit writing for a while after.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
haven't, but i think it could be fun with the right partner!
this is an impossible question and i can't choose. i love them all equally, just for different reasons.
What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
good lord my person of interest post-canon fic. will anyone read it? very unlikely. is it the principle of the thing? yes.
What are your writing strengths?
i genuinely have no idea. i've never given it any real thought. i mean, the build of what i write is some form of introspection mixed with humor, so probably those things.
What are your writing weaknesses?
plot and world building. i'm useless at it, for the most part. and like i said above, i don't think i'm great at smut. it's passable at best.
Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
i love it. though i do miss the days when people regularly utilized that hover function that would show the translation if you left your mouse over the phrase for a few seconds. way better than having to scroll down to the notes for the translation.
First fandom you wrote in?
teen wolf. much simpler times.
Favorite fic you've written?
I don't have a single favorite so I'm gonna go with a few for different reasons
