20 questions for fic writers

Tagged by @warlordfelwinter

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 

9

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 

131,214

3. What fandoms do you write for? 

Hollow Knight, Deltarune, Toonkind DnD, and most recently The Owl House. I actually have a couple owl house longfics in the works right now but I haven't posted them yet because I want to actually finish them first before I start posting, or at least get the majority of them done. All of them feature my grimwalker ocs because of course they do.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Charmed, I'm Sure [Hollow Knight] - 647

Confrontations, Devastations, Revelations [Hollow Knight] - 609

Proceed [Deltarune] - 162

Toil, Wyrm! [Deltarune/Hollow Knight] - 129

Bound [Hollow Knight] - 99

5. Do you respond to comments?

Absolutely I do! I try to respond to all of them, even if mostly that's an "I'm glad you liked it!"

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

You know looking through my fics to figure this out I have come to the realization that a lot of my oneshots are angsty and a lot of my longfics are . . . not. Or at least that's not their whole purpose. None of my longfics have ended yet anyway so . . . Probably I'd go with either Bound or Sister . . . ? with the angstiest ending, as one is about the Hollow Knight succumbing to the infection and the other is about a vessel getting got by Nosk.

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

Hough happiest ending . . . Well as I pointed out above my not-pure-angst fics tend to not be . . . finished yet. Either Charmed I'm Sure or Family Beyond a Broken Gateway (not yet posted) might eventually end up with the happiest endings I think. Maybe Paradoxical (also not yet posted)? I don't remember how that one ends tbh. Or if the ending was even figured out yet or not!

8. Do you get hate on fics? 

Nope! Everyone's been pretty nice actually.

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

Nah, not my thing

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

I LOVE crossovers but they're almost all roleplays with other people. I think the only one I've ever actually written by myself that I remember for sure is a crossover is uhhhhh The Phantom Thief Race on ffn. Please don't read it I wrote it when I was 15 and still learning how to write. It was a crossover between DN Angel and Detective Conan/Magic Kaito.

INCLUDING roleplay then the craziest one I've ever written is DEFINITELY one that I've never adapted into a fic that my friend and I just called "tardis fam rp" and it's. Hoo boy. The MAIN crossovers are doctor who/undertale with the main characters of the doctor and gaster, but we had the tardis jumping through whatever universes we hecking wanted and then eventually they made a portal that could allow them to continue going to any universes we hecking wanted and there are. So many oh boy.

Ones that immediately come to mind are gravity falls, fullmetal alchemist, how to train your dragon, supernatural-except-it-was-combined-with-gravity-falls (sam and dean are related to the pines iirc, sam's the kids' dad), uhhhhhhh wander over yonder MAYBE but that could have just been an au branch off the main rp, danny phantom I THINK but that also could have been some au branches- OH I found our pins on their interdimensional travels, awesome. So yeah danny phantom, deltarune, hollow knight, steven universe, toonkind dnd, marvel, detective conan, the greatest showman, bendy and the ink machine, uhhhh there definitely could have been more but that's all I can think of right now. It also included undertale aus like underswap and handplates. And was planned to have more crossovers, like little nightmares or dn angel, but we haven't continued the rp in quite a few years at this point. Muse petered off.

So YEAH that one was ALL over the place and it was a DELIGHT and also no one else is going to see it ever because the plot was such a mess and there's WAY too much to transcribe anyway.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? 

No one has informed me of any.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? 

I don't think so. Or at least no one's approached me for it.

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

All of my rp adaptations are co-written! Obviously, since they're rp adaptations. But I have an owl house fic in the works, called Paradoxical, that's going to be co-written as well with @conundrumrespeculis

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? 

I. Uh. Don't ship. So none?

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

Myths, Fables, and Fairytales: A Compilation of Grimwalker Legends. I started it excited to write grimwalker legends but the grimwalker legends turned out to be more difficult than I thought to write 😔 I have multiple ideas but getting them out has been difficult.

16. What are your writing strengths? 

Uhhhhhh I don't know. Character interactions? OH OH no I know I'm really good at writing internal character thoughts. This makes sense considering the vast majority of my writing experience comes through roleplay so both character interactions and character thoughts are The Main Feature of that.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? 

Deeeefinitely background descriptions and exposition. Probably show don't tell, too, though I'd like to think I'm starting to get a little bit better at that.

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

I think it's fun! Usually if I do that I put the translation in the end notes of the fic. Though I don't really do it often. I want to put more spanish in my owl house fics but I need to look up what specifically luz and camila say when they speak spanish to themselves first so I know what kinds of places to put it in and what to have them say. Luckily I recently discovered that people have transcribed the episodes so I won't have to rely off what I hear and can see the words themselves.

19. First fandom you wrote for? 

Ohhh don't make me look back for my ffn account. It was probably The Phantom Thief Race tho, so I guess detective conan and dn angel both?

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Absolutely Charmed, I'm Sure. Quirrel WILL survive and he WILL become a companion charm so we can keep him with us at all times and we WILL have fun hanging out with him and convincing him to live again. I SWEAR I will get back to this fic at some point but the owl house has completely taken over my brain at the moment. I actually have multiple chapters mostly-written right now but finalizing them requires reading the entire fic back (making sure I'm not contradicting myself or writing things that already happened) and I haven't had the motivation to do that in a long time. The plan has been to return poking at it when I'm in recovery after top surgery but it turns out the wait times for top surgery is many many many months. Probably not gonna be till 2025 at the earliest.

Tagging:

@trifoliate-undergrowth, @conundrumrespeculis, @rukafais, any other fic-writing friends that I can't remember at the moment

Oh I meant question 15 and cogr. Im a fudging blindass dum-dum.

But at least im fudging 😎...god do i want chocolate

PFF You're all good dude!!

15. What did you learn from writing this fic?

HO man that's such a question. I think the biggest thing it taught me was that i'm capable of writing something THAT long. A goal of 57 chapters was. Ambitious, to say the least!! And man I was 16 when I started that monster!! And yet in a year. Completed. 130k words of absolute tomfoolery. Of pain and agony and goof and "colored red chapters" - just a PHRASE you all grew to understand when I said it like WHAT - and. I did that. I wrote 130k words of utter nonsense. I set out with a plan and I followed through with it. Insane

Everything I'd ever written previously was either a oneshot or forgotten about. Every single personal work I ever started was never finished. Hell, Four Steps 'Til Death (oc-based story, not fandom related at all) was only meant to be five parts and I got through three before giving up. Then CoGR happened. 57 chapters planned, drafted, revised and finished. What the hell. Now that I know I'm,, completely capable of writing something 57 chapters long, I feel like... I should revisit FSTD at some point. Finish what younger me started. Finally give my own characters the attention I randomly decided to give fandom ones.

Bro before that year? Before the year I started camouflage? Literally four months before I started camouflage?? I had never written a fanfiction before. And then. Suddenly. I was writing a plan for 57 chapters of What The Fuck that just flowed together naturally in my head and made total sense to me. And then I got support for it and ?? ?? ? ? brain malfunction.

CoGR was SO out of my comfort zone. Anyone that knows me because of CoGR will be shocked by this but I fucking HATE writing in first person!!! SO MUCH. NEVER did it willingly before I started CoGR. And then. And th.

Man. That entire year was. So weird. I told myself when I started that I would finish it no matter what, and I did. And that was. Man. So strange, so different for me

see. Look at that. Look at all I just wrote. See look at how inspirational that was right? Now rememebr that CoGR is about Zot ethe miGhty a kNihTg Of GRAET REnOWN BUT AS A NOSK------
