20 questions writer meme!

I wa tagged by my beloved @bananakarenina <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3? In total across 5 fandoms, 124, 84 of those are JatP, and 5 of those are prompt fill compilations.

2. What's your total AO3 word count? 1,674,136 uploaded as of right now, and I know that over 1 million of those words are JatP.

3. What fandoms do you write for? Currently just Julie and the Phantoms, but in past I wrote primarily for Glee/Glee RPF, and Teen Titans. There's no other fandom really interesting me enough to write for it at moment.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I'm going to limit this to my JatP fics, but if you wanna check out my stories in my previous fandoms, well here's my AO3

And giving yourself to me can never be wrong my collection of smut prompt fills with 235 kudos

I Know Who I Want To Take Me Home the first installment of my Semisonic Sunset verse with 192 kudos

But came the dawn the show goes on (and I don't want to say goodnight) my PeterPatterLina soulmate AU with 169 kudos

Maybe this news can wait Part three (and the only non smutty part) of Semisonic Sunset with 124 kudos

Better walk the line my single dad Reggie PeterPatter fic with 124 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Honestly no I don't. I tried, once upon a time, but I just felt like no one really cared what I had to say, and then I didn't have the spoons for it, so I stopped. I know I should though, my brain just doesn't seem to like letting me.

6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Hands down it is Haunted by the moments of what we used to be because every comment I got on it was some variation of how very dare you.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Generally I try to give all of my stories a happy ending, but for this one, I'll go with Yellow Wood  because it gave everyone a happy ending, no matter the path taken.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Currently no, but when the blacklist was a thing that happened, my name was second on there, so that kind of sucked.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Out of my 84 JatP fics, 24 are rated E, and my smut prompt fills are currently sitting at 80 something chapters, so you tell me. In honesty, I don't write smut as much anymore, as I find it a little more difficult to write and the response to anything rated above a T is vastly lower than anything else. But when I started in this fandom, it was what I was known for; see my point regarding the black list.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? I actually kind of hate crossovers? If I'm looking for a fic to read on AO3, I always click the Exclude Crossovers choice. I'll write any and every AU I can, and I might add minor characters from said AU, but that's rare, and that's as close as I get.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Unfortunately yes. There was a person on WattPad who went and stole a bunch of different smutty JatP fics over a year ago, and one of mine was amongst them. They were reported, and the fic was taken down. This is why now my fics on AO3 are only available to registered AO3 users.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? No, but if anyone ever wants to do a translation or podfic of any of my stories, they have my permission as long as they credit me and send me a link afterwards!

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, and no one has ever asked. It's something I'd love to try if the chance ever came along, and had the right idea.

14. What's your all-time favorite ship? I mean I can't pick just one, I've been involved in fandoms since I was a teenager. Like for Teen Titans Raven/Beast Boy will always own a piece of my soul. In Glee, Kurt/Blaine was such a formative part of my life. And even with Jatp I don't think I could choose between Rulie and PeterPatterLina, they both mean so much to me. And those are just the fandoms I've written for!

15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? *looks at my GDocs which is a WiP graveyard* Oh gosh there's so many.

16. What are your writing strengths? My brain is not being kind to me ATM, so I don't think I have any? Like maybe how much I write? Does that count?

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Everything. Editing especially.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? I have done this quite a bit, even if it's just plugging what I want to say into Google Translate. So I know it's not entirely accurate, but I think I have been getting better about it.

19. First fandom you wrote for? The first fic I ever wrote that wasn't done like on a dare was a smutty fic for the anime Trigun that still exists on my ff.net page if you find it (no I'm not linking it) that I wrote in high school. It is Not Good.

20. Favorite fic you've written? I give the same answer to this question every time: But came the dawn the show goes on (and I don't want to say goodnight) and I don't think that will ever change.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Tagged by my favourite meme buddy @theawkwardterrier

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

27, because I am terrible at remembering to upload things to AO3.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

226,417, which I don't think is bad over 27 works. And it's more than enough for a complete novel, so that's encouraging.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I've written the most for the MCU, Dragon Age, Critical Role, Veronica Mars and Harry Potter. I do also have fics on here for Bridgerton, Lord of the Rings, Grey's Anatomy, Star Wars, Sailor Moon and Fables, and I've got a Nancy Drew fic in my drafts. Honestly, if I have watched/read it I am generally happy to have a go at writing for it.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Tomorrowland (Harry Potter, Harry/Luna)

Roommate Wanted (Veronica Mars, Logan/Veronica)

The Things We Love (Harry Potter, Harry/Luna)

Soulmates (Harry Potter, Ron/Hermione)

Better When He's Here (Veronica Mars, Logan/Veronica)

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

I do, but not consistently - often I'll get an email notification about a comment when I'm not in a place to respond right away and then forget to reply and by the time I remember it's been like five months and I feel weird about it. But when I can and remember, I do!

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Hmmm, I don't really do angst, but I suppose A Wounded Heart was a pretty angsty Fjord/Jester because it was set within the canon at that point, which was when Fjord was sleeping with Avantika and Jester was pretty hurt about it.

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

Uhhh of the ones I've finished . . . most of them? Hm. We Just Decided To definitely has a very fluffy ending because it was a Secret Santa present for Leah and I know she's fond of Steggy babies.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not really. When I shared my first fic online (back in like . . . 2007/2008), I got one comment accusing me of character bashing which I think was just sour grapes because I'd broken their ship up. And I had one guy try to nitpick my grammar. But that's the closest I've had to hate.

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

Not regularly, but I have done. I've written fade-to-black, vague descriptiona and also explicit smut. I will let my readers decide for themselves if they think it's any good!

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

I've written exactly one crossover in my life, which was a Teen Wolf/Charmed crossover set during Season 3B of Teen Wolf, with the basic premise of, "What if Scott needed a witch's help to fight the oni and the nogitsune, and what if that witch was Piper and Leo's daughter?"

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I'm aware.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Someone one asked permission to translate one of my fics and I said yes, but I don't know if they ever actually did it.

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

Not really - I've plotted fics out with other people, but never actually written anything. I have written RPGs with other people which is kind of like co-writing a fic.

14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Really don't think I could pick just one.

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

Uhhhh most of the WIPs languishing in my docs.

16. What are your writing strengths?

You tell me. I think I'm pretty good at dialogue/characterisation, and can occasionally turn a decent phrase.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Finishing things.

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

I will do it, and I will know the entire time that I am probably getting it horribly wrong.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Pretty sure it was Harry Potter.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Oof, now you're asking. I can find good things and bad things in most of what I've written and it's hard to single out one. If I ever finish the fake daking fic that might be top just because of the journey. But at the moment I'd say I'm particularly proud of I'll Crawl Home, even though it's not finished, just because it's one I've worked really hard on and I think it has some of my best writing.

Fic author interview

Saw this and it looked like fun so here we go!

How many works do you have on AO3?

Eighteen although one is anonymous.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

265,386. Not the best but could be worse.

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Frozen History 2895

Til Divorce Do Us Part 903

Battok 387

The First (And Likely Last) Batfamily Twister Tournament 215

Sibling Scrap 191

Putting the rest of the questions under a read more because it gets long!

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

I do. I feel so grateful for every comment and I need them to know how much I appreciate it. Plus the anxiety of a full inbox and the fear of being rude outweighs the anxiety from feeling like I'm artificially inflating my comment numbers.

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Haven't actually finished it yet lol. In terms of finished ones there were a few old Naruto fics but I'd say more recently some of the stephcass ones. Either the evil batman au did to the overall premise even if it does end hopefully, or the one where Cass gets badly injured on patrol and it ends with both of them knowing she can't promise not to do it again next time because her life will always be less valuable than every other persons even if it causes Steph pain to see her hurt.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

Shiny Happy People. Or the battinson au stephcass first kiss fic.

7. Do you write crossovers?

None so far unless you count fics that reference different batfamily comics

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

A few times lol, mostly with the more popular fics. Mostly about how the family treats Jason (which I make no apologies for lol there's plenty of fics out there that have everyone talk to him like they're a therapist and center his feelings above their own. I just don't think they're likely to do that in canon nor should I have to write them doing that just because it's popular. Let them be mean to each other.)

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

Not opposed to writing it but no not yet lol. It's always easier for me to let the screen fade to black and skip it.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

A lot of my old fics from fanfic dot net appeared on copycat websites? Not quite stealing since they were still credited to me but it still felt weird since I have no idea what those sites are all about or who uploaded them there.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

People have asked and I've happily agreed but I don't think I ever checked back in to see if they actually managed it.

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

I've had beta editors and people I bounce ideas off of but so far every fic has been written solely by me.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Brittana. The bond between a girl and the awful TV show that made her realise she wasn't straight is the strongest and most powerful force in the universe.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

My Reverse Robins au. By making it a collection of oneshots I've pretty much ensured it'll never be truly finished because I can keep coming back to it whenever I have a new idea.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Dialogue I think. It flows easily from my brain to the page. Other than that I've no idea lol.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

I would say everything else but I know my friends would yell at me for thinking that. So maybe the way I struggle to finish fics and instead just keep writing until 3k one shots are multichapter 15k monsters

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

If the POV character understands what's been said then I put it in italics. Otherwise I'd keep it in the original language and put the translations at the end. Never had to do it yet thankfully because I know I'd struggle getting accurate translations.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Naruto. It was a tragic comedy one shot about the akatsuki. Although technically it would be a zutara twilight au that I thankfully never published. (I didn't even ship zutara I just wanted to make a twilight au and thought he fit the role of Edward best)

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

Off the top of my head Cassrose and harpercass

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I can't choose overall, although I guess it would probably have to be Frozen History just for the sheer amount of effort and words I put into it. Even though there's so much that makes me cringe and that I'd want to redo, it was definitely a highlight for me at the time of writing. Most recently I'd say Occam.

Tagging anyone that wants to give this a try! I'm curious to see what other people's answers would be :D

edit oct 2020: here comes the loser again with a goodbye essay 🙄🙄

the only thing i really use tumblr for is uploading my art but i don't even do that anymore. drawing is fun sometimes but i like doing other things too and when i stop drawing for a while (like rn lmao) i start to feel guilty towards my followers since im not providing content. on top of art not being that interesting, i'm losing interest in musicals which has been my #1 motivation for drawing. musicals are nice but i think i've listened to the same like two musicals too many times and it's becoming bland. also, i get tired of drawing the same characters over and over again but i have no motivation to draw anything else. since i'm not uploading anything to tumblr, it feels kinda wrong still having the app even though i don't use it.

(edit: lmao what a dramatic loser) i never really thought i would ever say this, but i think my musical phase is over. i already archived my hamilton and dear evan hansen board on pinterest lol. i loved listening to them and those two musicals really got me through some times when i wasn't the happiest person, but i think i'm starting to be okay. i don't want to stay in this hole where i listen to the same things and do the same things, doing the same things over and over again is ok but after a while it gets boring, ya know?

i want to have new interests and not feel like i have to stick to the same things i always have because i've shown people that's what i like. i don't know why i'm writing this huge essay lol no one said i had to, but i guess a part of me wants to &lt;lmao see that bmc reference?

idk if this is going to be my last post, so if it is, thank you everyone for your amazing support i appreciate all 472 of you for choosing to follow me and letting my mediocre attempts of art to appear on your dashboard. i've met some great people on tumblr and i appreciate you all for allowing my virtual self into your life. i may not be on tumblr anymore but i'll always remember the happy memories you gave me :)

EDIT: ok i think i'll leave my blog here and maybe come to it once every blue moon when i have art. since i won't be here anymore, i'd like to say some words to some peeps. (some of you might not even remember saying stuff lol) but nevertheless, thank you to @everything0bagel @amirue @peggysexual @moonchild4419 @whispering-artist @theloulouve @fox-on-the-roof @iamdarknessiamdeath @cookie-muncher-yum @highlysensitiveintrovert thank you all for your amazing and uplifting support, for saying happy birthday, and all your positive comments that you posted i am very grateful for them, it may not seem like much but they always made me really really happy to read.

thanks to @celestialplanisphere for saying i am an inspiration i was really really rEALLY happy when you said that and i am truly honored that you see me as such :)

thank you to @lamsandmullettetext for always reblogging many of my posts i don't think i would have half of my likes if it wasn't for you xD i appreciate it

a very special thank you to @holdmybreadsticks

also thank you to everyone who has liked and reblogged my posts you have made a little 15 year old kid very happy :) ♡

goodbye for now everyone 💕
