Saddest feeling on earth is missing the artists that used to draw that one blorbo in a way that struck a chord within you

Writing Tag Game

 I was tagged by @vraberika literally just now holy cheese and puddings I am somewhat remembered and wow I was pleasantly surprised.

Seriously thank you so much/// You’re? The actual sweetest?

What is your total word count on AO3?

113153

Since? October of 2015 wow I write slowww

But to be fair I have tons of abandoned wips haha.

Pretty sure a huge chunk of it was from the DEH series I completed a while ago.

How often do you write?

When I get the time to do it. Between school and the translations I do on another site, there isn’t nearly enough spare time for writing than I’d like. Then there’s the writers’ blocks and those are always fun amiright

I really really wish I can write more though... at least finish up my previous wips hnggggg I’m very very sorry I’ve been so inactive but I just don’t have the time and effort to manage everything.

Do you have a routine for writing?

Not really? I just go with the flow mostly. Idk what you mean by “rountine”... I’m pretty...un-routinely.

What are your favorite kinks/tropes/pairing?

Enemies to friends/lovers probably. I don’t know why it’s always intrigued me!! I also love fantasy AUs <3

As for pairings... I have a bunch? But for the Ina fandom it’s afufubu (no surprise there)

Do you have a favorite fic of yours?

I automatically hate every fic I write because I’m never really “satisfied” with them. I mean yeah they probably took days, weeks, even months of planning and rewriting, but there’s always room for improvement, because I’m obviously not the best writer. I always get this feeling aw darn I ruined that idea. I bet [insert random fanfic writer] could do amazing things with this idea but I had to sabotage it.

As you can see I don’t have the highest self-esteem.

But if we’re really talking here.....

Probably either Freshly Drugged and Ready to be Slaughtered, which I wrote for the Haikyuu fandom, because I got to explore my version of the characters when put under the harsh environments that is the Hunger Games (and also I love writing angst AHAHA)

Or Tips to Teen Angst, Friendship Maintenance, and the Art of Matchmaking, which I wrote for the Dear Evan Hansen fandom. I got to write a bunch of fun texty dialogue. (I made them swear a lot whoops) I don’t know I really enjoyed the pacing of this one.

If we’re talking about the Ina fandom though- I’ve actually written a bunch of fics I never posted online. My favorite has got to be the one titled 吹雪（敦也）on my blog, which literally just means Fubuki (Atsuya). I like to sound sophisticated. Fight me.

I really love writing that one because I got the explore the dynamic between Aphrodi and Atsuya, who have never actually interacted onscreen!! It’s just so interesting!!! (Hi I’m a professional rarepair shipper. Romantic/platonic/rivalry we have it all!)

Your fic with the most kudos?

I don’t know what to say here because I’ve literally never put any of my Ina Eleven fics on AO3........ pysch!

How Do Friendships Work Again (Dear Evan Hansen), with 166 kudos. Which is strange. Because yes, I spent a lot of time and thought on that fic, it’s really not one I struggled with. It was not one of those ideas that I carry with me everywhere, it was not one of those stories that I spend forever revising and replanning. It was quick, it was written on a whim. I still cherish it very very much, but it just comes to show how the popularity of certain fandoms affect the stories’ feedback. I could spend grand lengths of time and devotion to this one, well thought-out fanfic I wrote of a rarepair, and get completely dismissed. I could spend a few hours to write this short, sweet fluff piece that doesn’t really hold much lore or depth, and get a bunch of attention just because people like that particular pairing.

Anything you don’t like about your writing?

Everything lol.

I have so much to work on.... The flow, the pacing, the vocabulary, the list goes on and on and on.

The only thing I can write is dialogue, and it’s not like I can make my characters talk forever.

Or maybe I could.

I should experiment it sometime.

Now something you do like about your writing?

Oops already answered that one above.

The dialogue, because I am a certified Trash-TalkerTM So I’m constantly applying that skill onto the sassier characters.

I mean people have told me that I write really fun dialogue and honestly I trust their tastes over mine.

Imma tag @ozrockbitway I guess? If you’d like? *hides behind a pillow*

I’m a huge.... outsider......... actually............because I’m always...........disappearing randomly....................and I apologize for that..............................I’malsoreallybadatmakingfriendssotheresthathaha

I’ll... try to be more active in the fandom but honestly? No promises. I love Ina Eleven because it made up a huge part of my early cringe teen years, and I always will love Ina Eleven, but I have school, I have other fandoms, I have other projects I’m working on and I don’t know how to divide my time fairly anymore. Especially recently I’ve been pushing myself to update things that I’m not really feeling, but because my followers are really looking forward to them, I update anyway. Not the healthiest, I know. I have no idea what I’m doing with my life anymore.

I honestly have a lot I’d like to say about the new Ina Eleven series, but I haven’t found the time to put them into words yet. I’d say keep a lookout if you’re interested in my piece of mind.

Thank you all so much for the support you’ve shown me in the past. You are all amazing, no matter what you might think or what others might say, every single one of you!! I hope you all have a wonderful day!!! And oh boy how in the world did this turn into a self-reflection post I thought this was a light and happy tag game.
