I have been accused once to flirt with someone else's boyfriend, which is hilarious, because I literaly don't know how to flirt. When I asked how I was flirting with him, he said that his girlfriend didn't like that I laughed when he told jokes. Well, stop being funny and I'll stop laughing, sir.

10, 40, 73 for writing asks!

10. at what point in the process do you come up with titles, and how easy or hard is that for you?

oh lordy. I am notoriously bad at titles. on occasion I'll have a title before I write a fic, but it's usually because it's based on a song, like first time which is named after the hozier song of the same name. I hate titles because I never really think the title does the story justice, and essentially what you're doing with it is boiling down your story to a few words or even just one. so most of the time I will just write the fic and then scour the text, esp the dialogue, for anything that jumps out. the time it was hardest in recent months is for my sole polin fic, sincerely, gently, fervently. the main reason I struggled was because I had a title in mind based on a famous polin line, "assuredly, loudly, fervently", but I saw other fics with that title and wanted to be more original, and iirc @ihaveastorminme suggested a poem which is where I got my title from in the end - and I think it was a translation of a poem too, so it was pretty meta in the end.

40. best piece of feedback you’ve ever gotten.

off head I don't have a specific comment that comes to mind, but basically anytime someone tells me that they've read my fic multiple times, or read all my stuff, or when they say it's better than canon. it makes me ridiculously happy. atm there is someone who until recently was commenting regularly on my fics as they read each chapter, and they were quoting back bits that they really liked which is literally my favourite thing ever.

73. how do you visualize scenes? do you see it like a movie in your head, or do the words just flow?

this is a weird one but I can hear the character voices in my head. legit just earlier while I was making breakfast I heard anthony and kate bartering on how much anthony should set aside for edwina's dowry. depending on where I am, or what I'm doing, I might make a note of that convo on my phone and I've done that before. sometimes those snippets will stay on the cutting room floor so to speak but a lot of the time it will form the basis of a new chapter. I adoooooore writing dialogue and it may sound crazy to say I can hear the characters' voices as I write them, but that's how it almost always happens. the bare bones of a fic are always dialogue. the other stuff is built around it.

"All those empty rooms

We could have been anywhere, anywhere else

Instead, I made a bed with apathy

My heart knew the weight

Ten years worth of dust and neglect

We made our peace with weariness and let it be..."
