#it was like. fandomwide ocs basically

[no-light-left-on]

missing the time this fandom had like approximate ideas for different whalers. montgomery as the bitchy medic, rinaldo and rulfio as the wild party guys with rinaldo being every bit of an idiot he could be, galia as a tired but still down for mischief girlie; and several having a staple backstory that people took different approaches to in their fics

Deep fic writer 1,3,11

Let me begin by saying thanks. I love these things. I had to sit on this one (until I got some sleep and coffee) so that I could answer them well. 1. what's the fic you're most proud of?

I'll be honest, I love all my fics for what they are or what they could have been. I know that's probably vain to say, but I write them because I love them. Even the ones that got wrecked for one reason or another were fics that I wrote with love and with a great deal of hope, so I'm sorry they got wrecked, but I love what they were meant to be. In a way, I'm proud of all of them. Even the ones I haven't finished are things that I enjoyed. I set out to make something, and I did.

3. what fic are you emotionally attached to?

I'm emotionally attached to all of them in some way. I put bits and pieces of myself and my life in all of them. That being said, I would have to say that Broken Mirrors is the fic to which I am the most emotionally attached.

11. Has a fic you’ve written ever caused issues/controversy? Boy have they ever, at least at a personal level! Let me tell you, I have had people come for me for a variety of reasons. (I'm convinced that some people literally have nothing better to do.) I've had people criticize my fics because they were too long.

I've had people come at me for my use of OCs. I've had people criticize me a great deal for liking to write pregnancy fic, babyfics, kid fics, etc. and I've had people basically devote their time to writing me little dissertations of negativity over why this is not realistic (in fiction, often based on a show about zombies...). This one should be starred and bolded, probably, because this is a SUPER common complaint I've gotten since I started writing for Caryl YEARS ago. I've had people get mad because things in my fics didn't happen in the way or at the speed in which they thought they should happen. I've had people inform me that my fics weren't dramatic enough, while having others fuss about the drama I've put into them. I don't think anything I've ever written has caused something like a fandomwide issue or controversy (though, I could be wrong or forgetting something), but there have definitely been lots of dramatic moments where individual (and small group) readers have come for me for various things. I could basically write you a little novella about the drama surrounding a good number of the fics that I've written.
