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

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

Never written an angsty ending tbh, only happy endings for me!

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

Stuck in Traffic has a very "happy ending" 😏 heheh heheheheh hehehehheheh

7. Do you write crossovers?

Nope!

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Not big enough to get hate 😁

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

ALL the kinds! Well, vanilla type stuff. Literally. Mickey's into chocolate and vanilla flavored condoms, I've decided 😁 he likes sweet things after all... Ian likes strawberry. This isn't what you asked for at all lol

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Don't think so but I hate that this is a thing that's happening

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope! But respect to people who translate entire fics!

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

Not exactly, but @tsuga-of-mars made art which inspired one of my fics ☺️

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

Gallavich all the way!

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

I have many and if I had more time, I'd write them all!

15. What are your writing strengths?

Oeh boy... I like to think I'm funny 😂 and maybe plotting? I've spend a year plotting out Africa, I think it's a pretty strong story that'll play out well, at least I hope... and I'm HOPING it'll make a 2nd read enjoyable because you get to pick up on all the tiny crumbs I've been dropping everywhere and all the foreshadowing will make sense.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

Pff everything lol writing in general, it's my first time having a go at it but I've learned a lot already. Being too technical. Maybe too long winded? I could probably cut down like 60% of my fic and no one would miss it but boy do I love the tiny scenes where it's just them having their tiny domestic moments <3

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

listen LISTEN!!!! I don't want to give it away but using a different language as a secret language?! To say what you're feeling but the other doesn't know?! And I remember the days when people were really into a character speaking French because it was "sexy" 😂

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

This one..... Not my first fandom but my first ever try at writing! Always wanted to but this is the fandom where I finally went for it 😁

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

None! Never had any good ideas for a story or had the drive for it

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

Africa's my favorite ESPECIALLY chapters 4-6. Those are the ones I'm happiest with. That's when stuff starts to get exciting, when the characters are gonna grow closer, let each other in, goof around, walls crumble, part of the mystery unravels, feelings grow deeper. I can't wait to share it.

This was fun!

Tagging in turn to do this if you want to!
