20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you @garglyswoof and @stars-and-darkness for the tag!

How many works do you have on ao3? 10 *sobs in my WIP folder, which has so many WIPs*

What's your total ao3 word count? 167,467. The amount of fic that i have that is not published, you guys. it's embarrassing.

What fandoms do you write for? Klaroline. I know there's two other fandoms on my page but I don't write for them those just kind of happened.

Top five fics by kudos: Til I Tasted You (zero surprises, the Klaroline soumate timetravel au takes the cake), Hallowed Ground (the Klaus-is-actually-the-damsel Irish fae soulmate au), Timing (the Labyrinth continuation that I have a contentious relationship with), Emergency Stop (The Elementary S2 PWP), No Roses For Your Bones (Klaroline social media mafia au i love u)

Do you respond to comments? I try to respond to every one, i am way behind right now and some of them are not showing up that i know i have gotten emails for and are not showing up in my inbox so i have to figure out what to do about that.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Stellar Flare is probably the angstiest ending (such as it is) bc they're still stuck in that snow drift and Caroline is shot. It will (eventually) have happy ending.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Pick a fic, i am a happy ending JUNKIE, you won't find sadness here, sorry angst fans!

Do you get hate on fics? I think the most "hate" i've gotten was someone telling me my fic read like a tumblr post and that they could do better. 😂 Otherwise no, I'm not that important.

Do you write smut? Yes, on occasion, when @cupcakemolotov is like "you know what this could use? smut"

Craziest crossover: I am not really a crossovers person. I like some things like certain AUs. You can set things in a universe that exists and i'll jive?

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Uhm, I think a couple girls in China have run my fic and others through translation software so their friends who don't speak English but are into Klaroline could read it?

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes, I've been (very very slowly) co-writing a The Mummy fic with @gaydragonwizards, and @impossiblekryptonitecolor and i are hammering out ideas on a fic.

All time favorite ship? Klaroline is a pretty high contender. This couple has had me in a CHOKEHOLD for years and years and now that i'm writing fic for it, it's even worse. Kenshin/Kaoru another chokehold couple. Will I ever get them out of my system? 16 year old me is still wondering.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Stop that shhh, i will FINISH my WIP, i WILL.

What are your writing strengths? Humor! I think I am very funny, thank u. Also I've heard I give good yearning.

What are your writing weaknesses? Putting words on the screen? Uh, describing things. I forget to describe shit. Outfits? nah. Scenery? pssh. That shit has been added in on the second pass when i remembered it was needed.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language? I mean, fine, just add in a translation somewhere. And don't do that floaty text one, that shit don't work on mobile.

First fandom you wrote in? InuYasha. Baby!Kiry was sooo young.

Favorite fic you've written? Genuine toss up between Til I Tasted You and No Roses For Your Bones. Like No Roses is so technically good and i feel like the characterizations are so fun and the relationships are really sturdy, and Klaus WANTS Caroline with the force of a thousand suns and is very graciously not murdering Tyler about it until he, you know, can murder Tyler about it. But TITY has suuuuuch good emotions and some raw ass lines and features a thousand years of yearning, and really how do i compete with that?

Tagging: @impossiblekryptonitecolor, @averseunhinged, @the-road-betwixt, @galvanizedfriend, @marxandangels, @gaydragonwizards, @ofstormsandfire

horrible news: in order for you to finish a wip, you have to work on that wip and not the 2543524 other wips you were brainrotting over instead of that one. more investigations at 7.

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.

New discourse: it's actually predatory to date someone with a different star sign than you, because the differences in your personalities means you'll never be able to have exactly the same life experiences, thus leaving a knowledge and power gap between the two of you which will inevitably lead to an abusive relationship!

also if you're a Sag and you're dating a Taurus, that means you're secretly seeking a May-December relationship, which is age gap coded!

you ever accidentally create a recurring theme in your writing. you start putting together an outline for something you’ve never written before and get partway through planning, rearrange the pieces, and go “GODDAMMIT THIS IS ABOUT GRIEF AGAIN”? because let me tell you,

Klaroline WIP Wed - fake sexy lamp au - 1.2

1.1 here

A shadow fell across the page. “Nik, I’m bored.”

Klaus didn’t bother to look up as he perused the most recent facts present in the paperwork. “Rebekah, this is a delicate task. If you find you are incapable of assisting me, I always have a box with your name on it to tide you over.”

The blonde girl sat down with a huff, crossing one leg over the other and doing the same with her arms. “Dagger threats before ten in the morning? You are in a foul mood. Kol owes me a week’s worth of chauffeured rides; he was sure you’d last another hour.”

His hand tightened on the folder before relaxing. “Testing the limits of being impossible to kill for a lift to high school?”

Rebekah grimaced at the thought of Kol’s driving, manic at the best of times. “Yes, well, he has nice cars while they last and having a ‘hot brother,’” she uncrossed her arms to put extra emphasis on her air quotes while rolling her eyes and sticking out her tongue, “Will give me extra street cred for tryouts. Not that I need it, but stacking the deck for an in with an ever popular doppelgänger can’t hurt.”

“Aren’t you exactly what they’re searching for in a cheerleading candidate? Vapid and pretty?” With a slight tilt of his head, Klaus shot his sister a biting smile.

Resting her arm on the back of the bench, Rebekah looked triumphant. “I’m going to tell Kol that you called me pretty.” Of course, it was just like Bekah to ignore what she didn’t want to pay attention to.

His smile widened. “Then I will be forced to tell Kol you called him ‘hot.’” She would never hear the end of it.

“Ugh!” With a dramatic huff and a flounce, Rebekah tipped sideways to lean on his shoulder, which drew a deep exhale from her exceedingly patient older brother, who was reaching his limit. Her gaze drifted over the contents of his folder, and she drew in a short breath. “Oh. Stefan.”
