fic writer tag game

thanks for the tag @babblish​​!! surely it's a cliché that writers are always glad to talk about writing while not actually doing any writing...? 

fandoms: tales of arcadia! i've dabbled around through past fandoms but the first stuff i've ever really "finished" was for trollhunters. 

where you post: ao3 or bust bay BEE. i crosspost links to my work on tumblr, but tumblr is...not built for archiving, lmao

most popular multi-chapter fic: in my sleep i dreamed of waking. i still can't believe how many hits it has—almost twice as many as my next most-hit work! v proud of my firstborn :')

favorite story you’ve written so far: oh no don't make me choose hahaha. i guess—for what it could be, probably nightshadefic; but for what it is, aa, dazzling dawn has a very fond place in my heart.

fic you were nervous to post: nightshadefic (left-hand florilegium), hands down. strickler is such a popular character and i was so anxious to put what is admittedly a very weird and self-indulgent biofic out there, but... well, like i said: that's everyone else's problem now!! ღゝ◡╹)ノ

how you choose your titles: usually it goes a bit like... untitled googledoc #5 > vague concept > codename > overtly pretentious metaphorical citation? sometimes (like for nightshadefic) i can come up with something original, but i'm a big fan of poetry titles lately. might relapse into my ancient sins and go right back to song lyrics though

do you outline: i try to. but i also know i'm prone to getting lost in the outlining weeds and never doing any actual writing, so...i'm trying to make peace with not knowing everything lol.

complete: technically yes lmao. in my sleep, dazzling dawn, my stricklake month collection, and the lil baby bellroc thing i did are all technically freestanding! how did that HAPPEN. (...feels good tho.)

in progress: ...let's not talk about my wip backlog. 😂prompts solicited from friends, prompts from followers, dazzling dawn sequel, conferencefic... like a billion stories about barb learning changeling... many ideas but few promises.

i've sometimes heard what i do—a sentence or two on a bunch of different wips at a time, so i'm technically writing, but finishing stuff takes forever—described as writing "sideways," which feels...accurate. but also not the most satisfying. then again i also categorize a lot of "in progress" stuff also as....

coming soon/not yet started: oh god so many. for diplomacy's sake, let's say... those lord huron prompts? i've got some preliminary thoughts on 2/4 of them.

i really do wanna get around to some arcane jerks sometime tho ;w; 

do you accept prompts: i shouldn't but i do. 😂 in my defense: i've got some consistently awesome prompts from my followers (rebecoming! organized knowledge!), so... i've just become wise and try to open prompts only infrequently. 

upcoming story you are most excited to write: 

ancient unknowable eldritch horror being defeated by the power of social conventions vs. painfully domestic strickman... please. please

i tag: @megan0013​​, @nightrosebud​​, and... you!
