say what you will about 30+ aged people being in fandom but without them we wouldn’t have some of the best fanfic out there

For the fic writers ask:

4. a story idea you haven’t written yet

18. if you keep them, share a deleted sentence or paragraph from a published fic

28. your least favorite part of the writing process

4.) Divorce AU - Divorcees who still love each other is my favorite trope so I want to apply it to my fav ship, but a.) it's just so hard to do that to them, b.) it's even harder to write them being with other people and c.) I can't get over the "I might as well be writing LoganCaroline instead" of it all, like it's just not realistic for the Kellmans, especially when LC *actually* had a messy divorce and is also criminally underrated 😭

18.) I have a "lines for later" document, so hopefully it won't be cut forever - “'Baird Kellman, you are going to fuck me until one of us passes out and you will stop not a second sooner.'”

28.) COMING UP WITH A TITLE!!!!!! I always use some lame ass lyrics

1, 8, and 20 for the fic writer asks! :D

1.) the last sentence you wrote

"If there's one thing Gerri dislikes, it's mess."

8.) if you had to write a sequel to a fic you'd write one for...

Hmmm...probably "the jealous type" bc Gerri still needs to beat Baird's ass for letting his ex flirt with him 😌

20.) in what year did you publish your first fic?

The first recorded instance was 2010 (it's almost my 15th ficversary...🧓) but it MAY have been earlier on quizilla, god rest its soul
