✅ 😊 🔥 🧮<333

thank you jamie <333

✅ list one or two favorite lines you've written and explain why they're your favorite

1. (from you have my heart (so don’t hurt me)) - “It’s been so long since she’s been held like this, looked at like this, and she wants him to touch more of her.”

i really like the rhythm of this and the way it sounds in my head. this fic overall was super fun to write and it gave me a lot of confidence.

2. (from to sit in hell with you) “If she had even an iota of bravery in her, she would have spoken up the second she got there, distractions be damned. But she doesn’t, and she didn’t, and the only viable option is to leave.”

honestly i just relate real hard to this overall sentiment, and i also love tossing around words like iota because it’s fun!

😊 say something nice about your writing

i think it evokes some sort of emotional response and that it typically has a good rhythm to it!

🔥 what's something that's currently going really well?

i’ve got a drive to write like i haven’t had in a while and i’m really happy about it! it doesn’t feel like a chore and i’m having the best time.

🧮 what are you working on? describe it in 20 words or less

euphoria - three times lexi and fez accidentally fall asleep together and one time it’s on purpose (they have me in an unfair chokehold idk what to do with myself)

send me an emoji!

!! thank you jamie <33

1, 5, 28, 36 for the fic asks<33333 (also hi abby i hope you're doing well!!!)

ehehe hi jamie !! im doin alright im having kind of a rough week to be sooo honest but my friend made me caramel corn and im chillin on the couch and the weather this week is shaping up to be super beautiful so really what more can i ask for!

1. compliment your writing!

ok i answered this one already but i will say that i have been really proud of how quickly i picked up the tolkien voice. that shit isn't easy lol

5. quote one of your fics out of context

Gravestones, after all, grow over with time, and you have not earned yourself that peaceful of an ending. 

from TO THE VERY DEAR MEMORY OF [ ], or my incredibly experimental leap year raleigh-and-yancy fic

28. which fic is closest to your heart

LIKE EVER? this is so hard wtf. i feel like a lot of my very Formative Works are um. not complete. theres the pacific rim magnum opus. theres obviously the faramir goes to rivendell au. those would probably be my real answers but WAIT CURVEBALL LOL ITS THIN SECTION. extreme throwback to my atla days. thin section is the best thing ive ever written hands down. the emotions that i got into in there.....whoo. and of course it's siblings with all my other long pianjeong fic which was really my proof to myself for the first time that a. i could write good, relatively long stuff without kind of petering out halfway through and b. My True Induction Into Rarepair Nation which obviously is like. well the main facet of my online personality now. anyway

36. have you ever written a fic because you were inspired by a song

yes two actually ! how much light you give (lovingly subtitled "closing the windows fic" in my heart) was born from come back...be here by taylor swift and two shadows burning out a glory day lived in my mind for a long time as the (titular) silhouettes by aquilo. huh that's amusing they're both for my obscure james bond rarepair. i guess that does make sense i do have an obscene number of playlists for them. well anyway. typical abby rarepairnation behaviour etc.

11. favourite musical on broadway right now everyone keeps asking me this.... it's like you all want me to be a hater on main. i do like six. i think it's fun!

24. favourite set from a musical okay, i have to give the obvious answer (great comet has THE set design of all time), but also she loves me (2016) is just unspeakably gorgeous.

32. favourite musical where no one dies  this ask coming from a les mis stan is so funny.... no one dies in she loves me and that is an all-timer for me. but since i keep giving that same answer, i will add my fair lady & the light in the piazza

thank youuuuu <3

Something you want to do again next year? definitely go spend some time with a friend in sao paulo!!! i went in july and we had so much fun going to the aquarium and to museums and restaurants that i went back home feeling like everything was going to be okay after all. maybe also just visiting friends in other cities!

5, 8, 12, 15, 33, and 34! <3333

YAYY thank u jamie for all of these <333

5. quote one of your fics out of context

A memory, to an architect, is a prison, a haunting, a noose.

from two shadows burning out a glory day, my bizarre inception/bond crossover fic. its very close to my heart it was kind of my first. idk if i can say non-conventional fic but it kind of is. like conceptually and narratively Weird. something that messes with the reader's head.

8. share the last line that you wrote

oh BOY. im trying to ease back into writing after the wackass week i've had but something seized me and i AM up at 3am picking away at umbar fic. but its time for bed because i have work and also i just thesaurused "retreat." when i start looking up synonyms of VERY simple words its a sign the night is over.

[his father] would give him every honour, and would that not mean he would accord him every accompanying sin?

hehehehe the thorongil-ecthelion-denethor dynamic IS absolutely in the air. its funny because right before this denethor basically curses thorongil out for daring to bring up His Damn Father when they're making out. yeah its pretty insensitive. but it leads him here and from MY perspective the introspection is yummy. don't think of elephants or whatever.

12. what fandom do you want to write for most often

hmm i feel like. my answer is just whatever im? hyperfixating on at the moment? when i get in there i REALLY get in there. but maybe pacific rim. it just lives at a low simmer in the back of my mind at all times but it's also the hardest to bang something quick out for because it is one of, if not THE most emotionally fraught for me to deal with. its just. well its a lot of grief. and also a lot of times my style becomes very um. Particular. because of my personal headcanons about how drifting fucks with your head and how that kind of comes across in the prose. and i gotta be in the right headspace for All That.

15. what fic of yours would you most like to rewrite

honestly i'm not sure if? any of them? i saw a quotation once about only having been able to write certain things at certain points in your life and i really believe that. current me could not produce a lot of my old stuff at all. there's small parts of many things i might change but not complete rewrites, and i also want to preserve them in their posted form for posterity. e.g. there's parts of dreamlike, and yet no dream that i would want to tweak to match my current Denethor And Faramir complexities (it's missing a Little of the nuance. and the terrible pity that i think faramir ends up feeling for his father) but i would NOT want to completely rewrite it. i'm scrolling through my ao3 and like. yeah. and i do think that after maybe 2020 it really begins to stand the test of time and most of my prior stuff i don't have a strong enough attachment to really want to rework. i leave it up entirely for archival purposes.

33. which of your fic titles is your favourite?

i really like five year plan for the afternoon. i honestly really like most of my titles i’ve probably mentioned i think really hard when im choosing them and i hope it shows in the match between the title and the energy/themes of the fic. but i DID create this one from my own mind (rare) and i feel like it really gave the energy of like. having the future you never thought you would have because you've spent your whole life fighting an impossible fight thinking you would die trying...and getting to not have to have a plan for the future not because you think you won't have one but because you just have all the time in the world.......wow.

35. have you ever written a fic because you were inspired by a title?

hmm. not really. i do have some inspired-by-songs ones (talked about those here) that eventually ended up with corresponding lyric titles but it doesn't really work the reverse way. i mostly will hear a lyric and create a Scenario rather than a title
