1. How many works do you have on AO3?

278

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

736,445

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently Ted Lasso and Strike Back. In the past ... so much shit but mostly Les Miserables, Avengers, Daredevil, Star Wars

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

All from my Avengers/Harry Potter crossover days apart from 5 which is The Sandman

Not One For Moonlit Skies (3162)

Hiding in the Closet (2315)

Don't They Teach You Interrogation Skills Here (2184)

Still the Wealthiest Man in the Room (2046)

Our Little Life Is Rounded With A Sleep (1466)

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

Yes! Always. I just appreciate every comment so much and want the commenters to know it has been read and it has been appreciated.

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

Like a Black Hole for sure! I usually write Hurt/Comfort and thrive on a happy ending but this one would have been ruined with one. It's angst from start to finish.

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

Probably Accidental Father Figure Acquisition. It ends with Jamie and Henry just having a nice time and having fun with each other!

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I've only had a couple of shitty comments in my time but just a quick delete and then moved on with my life.

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

No. I'm ace and it is not the most fun for me but I am trying to branch out and have been working with some people on some more kinky potentially smutty stuff to try and challenge myself but it is incredibly slow going because guess what, I keep on getting derailed with whump.

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

I used to but less so now. It's probably Recruitment which was my short and silly Assassins Creed Black Flag / Black Sails crossover fic

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes! An Atlantis BBC fic of mine was taken and sold on amazon and places during that run when a bot was doing that!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I can't remember which one off the top of my head but it happened and it was a beautiful moment

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

No but it sounds fun!

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

So I love Roy and Jamie but like in whatever way. Like their relationship is so important to me but mostly not really for it's romantic bits. I just want them both to be with each other and happy. I'm just as happy with a platonic relationship as I am a romantic one.

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

I do want to finish all the Ted Lasso stuff I've started but I do think anything for any earlier fandoms I probably won't

16. What are your writing strengths?

I think character voice. Like I like to think I'm good at the characters being true to what they should be and being able to get them to operate and emote how people are expecting

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

I am really bad at writing a satisfying ending. I just never know what to do to stick the landing

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

I am incredibly bad at languages so am skeptical of doing it right and doing it justice but I may try at some point

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Eragon. It was a super bad fic about Murtagh during the series. It was so bad.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Oooo this is like asking me to pick between my children but it has to be Where the Hell is the Karma?

It swelled into something I never thought it would be and I'm so proud to have got it finished and to have a final product I am proud of

I don't know who has already been tagged so just going to guess at some people I don't think have. No pressure and also if you want to do it then just go for it!! @oldfashionedmorphine @sighonaraa @asteria-argo

ive read 53 books in january so far (which is bonkers to me. i read 26 books in ALL OF 2023... i'm not sure if it means my mental health is getting better or worse lmao)

and i enjoyed many of these books. most, i think. but some were just so bad. and it made me itchy about my writing bc while i dont think im anywhere near a good level of skill/craft, i've been writing since i was like, 10. ill turn 28 this february and i only have a single short published. at one point i wanted to publish a book before i was 15 bc of eragon. i will soon turn 30 and nada. nothing. nilch. where has time gone, honestly?

i'm working two jobs currently (well, 3, but im quitting job 3 this wednesday) and im an Adult(tm) with all the responsibilities it entails yadda yadda, but i feel like im wasting time. and it sucks. i dont want to suddenly realize im 50 and still havent gotten anything published. i always wanted to share my writing. its frustrating that i still havent managed to do that after almost 20 years of writing ffs.

anyway. this is just me putting it out there that im making an bigger effort this year. im getting fantasy romance wip done this YEAR. not sure about publishing it this year but you know. that thing is getting done. pinky promise.

Ten Characters, Ten Fandoms, Ten Tags

Franz Leitmayr (Tatort) for being snarky, curly-headed in his first 20 episodes, and smart and stupid at the same time

Saphira (Eragon) for putting up with her babyboy Eragon as he continues to make the worst decisions

Simon Van Reyk (Harrow) for sticking with his boss and friend through everything and being a wonderfully snarky ray of sunshine

Vincent Ross (Polizeiruf) for being nice and pretty and breaking some of the stereotypes of how a Tatort Kommissar is supposed to be like 

Aziraphale (Good Omens) for being sarcastic and dramatic and having a wonderful taste in music 

Samwise Gamgee (Lord of the Rings) for being a true and loyal friend

Arya Stark (A Song of Ice and Fire) for being an angry and temperamental mess who refuses to put up with gender norms

Spencer Reid (Criminal Mind) for being a smart-ass and making stupid puns and solving puzzles at a speed that frustrates the people around him

Antonio (The Merchant of Venice) just because I think he is so gay and desperately in love with Bassanio

Lars (Der letzte Engel) for putting up with his friend Motte dying and turning into some supernatural being and just… going with it, because, well… Motte is his friend

Thanks for tagging me @eolewyn1010 ! Sure took me a while to find all of these, but it was kind of fun to reminisce on the stuff I've read and watched in the past.
