20 questions for fic writers

I was tagged by @bluedaddysgirl! Sorry this took so long. ;;

I'll tag: @withercrown @a-aristippus @lacertae-dreamscape @aevallare @loveoaths @kevystel @frogunderarock @wolveria @dreaminghour @bright-thorn @kitewithfish

And anyone else who wants an excuse to do this please tag me I'd love to read your answers!! 🥺💖💖💖

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

134.

2. What's your total A03 word count?

444,065

3. What fandoms do you write for?

I started my writing days in Overwatch and most of my fics are from that era, but most recently, I've written for Star Wars, Baldur's Gate 3 and Arcane.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

A New Era - First Jayvik fic I wrote, and somehow it's at the top of the jayvik ao3 tag by kudos even though it's mindrot I wrote between episode breaks. Sorry long form jayvik writers ;;

Lost Time - life-affirming jayvik sex after the s1 finale. I'm just now realizing that all my top kudos fics are jayvik LMAO

Opposites - jayvik fic where someone talks up Viktor at a party and Jayce gets jealous.

Arcane Ficlets - my randomly assorted Arcane stuff I wrote via tumblr asks. All jayvik too 😂

Warm Heart - Viktor has cold hands but Jayce knows just how to warm him up.

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

I try to! But sometimes it takes me months to get back to people. Once the inbox number ticks up I get a little nervous ;; which only makes the problem worse!

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I tend not to write anything that ends too angsty. I have one or two that have a sort of bad-end vibe. Usually I'll write an angsty ending then delete and rewrite. LOL

Maybe this silco/viktor fic: Back Down? Since Viktor knows he shouldn't be messing around with Silco but he's so drawn to him.

Runner up: one of my ramyatta fics Stargazing because it shows the difference between their past relationship and the present at the end, where they are no longer together. t _ t

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

Probably Encore, since I wrote it because Outer Wilds canon endings beat me up so badly. LOL

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Very rarely!

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

Almost always. Any kind, basically. LOL I love pining and unestablished relationship like crazy, and both characters just falling into sex with each other. Blow jobs, possessiveness, breeding kinks, ritualistic sex, size difference, voyeurism, smell stuff, sex pollen, outfits... a VERY wide range. 😂

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

I almost never write them. I think I have written a few fics that just takes characters and puts them into another game's setting, but that's about it.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of?

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Most I had one of my ramyatta fics translated into chinese. I've also had my only symbrock fic made into a podfic.

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

Not really. I've done a fic with bluedaddysgirl that was Thrawn/Cad Bane, but mostly I collaborate with artists to do illustrations of my work. I did some RPing back in the day, but none of that's going to see the light of day LOL

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Probably genyatta? But honestly, I have so so many. Obimaul also has a special place in my heart.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

My last year's nanofic. It was an AU where Bo-Katan never saved Obi-Wan from Mandalore, so he remained Maul's prisoner. It was going to be a what if where Maul realizes he doesn't know what to do with Obi-Wan now that he's finally exacted his revenge, and they would slowly fall in love while doing powerplays the whole time. LOL It was a bit weird because I had to write it so fast, so a lot of the fic was just Savage and Obi-Wan interacting, so it almost made it seem as if they would be the better pairing TBH. It just needs so much reworking and IDK if I have the power. It probably just needs an entire re-write.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I feel I'm very good at condensing ideas into short word counts. I also think my sex scene writing, specifically my dirty talk, is pretty good! That's one of those things that I can't stand to read if it's bad in fanfic, so I try to make what they say as in character as I can. 😳

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing anything longer holy shit. I'm really terrible at it because as soon as I have to deal with pacing it's a death sentence for my motivation. 💀💀💀

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

It can be done well? But only if you are a fluent speaker. I personally don't do it because I'm an idiot who only knows one language, and I don't want to mess up the mood of writing by accidentally making an embarrassing gaff in another language.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

In my life? Probably Kingdom Hearts. On my ao3 account: Dragon Age: Inquisition.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

Definitely Polite Company, my Obimaul reverse AU fic. It's the longest thing I've ever written and posted. SUCH a comfort fic to me, and it was a blast to work on. There's just something so fun about writing Jedi Maul that I still can't get over it. The ideas kept coming for that fic which almost never happens for me, and somehow it was fairly well received, which I'm just so ridiculously grateful for. I'm always surprised at how much Obimaul isn't a main pairing for Obi-Wan when they have such ridiculous chemistry. Not even 600 fics on all of ao3 for them💀💀💀 A crime!!

WIP Train

It was so lovely of @hungryhannya to tag me! Thank you!! ❤️

Blighted Hearts - Ch. 2 (Preview) Darkest Dungeon / Abomination x Flagellant 

Neither of them had slept much that night, too engrossed in each other’s company for more than a few fitful spells of arhythmic unconsciousness. 

Bigby lays draped over the flagellant's shoulder, a shaggy arm angled over his scarred chest, a hairy leg laced with his enrobed one. Damian made sure the wolfboy held most of the blanket, shroud covering the larger portion of his exposed skin, one bandaged arm wrapped around the ringlets of his waist, clutching him close to his side.

The fire was now dead, the priest sadly needing to leave just before dawn, giving his boyfriend's hand a chivalrous kiss goodbye. 

He had only been gone a few hours, needing to be in attendance when the other church members awoke and then like clockwork he fetches Bigby from his cave, speaking of the latest news from the town crier.

There had been a boon in the supplies thanks to a recent excursion at the warrens and the holy man was adamant about the two of them visiting Hamlet together to celebrate.

That's where they're headed now, Damian making the bold move (at least Bigby thinks it's bold) to hold his hand during the daylight hours, out in public. 

The wolfboy doesn't register it at first, the shock of it. He almost suspects it's on accident, but their hands remain locked the whole trek towards the decorated square.

20. Favorite fic you've written?

Any way the wind blows - Saitama/Genos fic where Garou manages to help Saitama figure out his feelings for Genos.

Endurance training - Saitama/Genos where they supposedly go out to train but it devolves into another type of training.

The storm that never parted - Angsty fic about Saitama and alternate take on the Sea King fiasco.

The heat of your heartbeat is guiding me - Saitama wins the battle versus opm god, but the cost is too high.

Couple of my faves, explicit fics included.

Tagging my lovely friend @lacertae-dreamscape

[dgcakes]

Rules: Share the first line of ten of your most recent fanfics and then tag ten people. Don't have ten? Not to worry, just share what you have.

No one tagged me; @ghoul-misadventures did it and it looked fun so I'm doing it. :3

1. Klavier Gavin took a deep breath as he stepped onto the sidewalk at the bus stop. (Advanced AI: Adapted for You - klapollo ace attorney, future au; complete)

2. Screeching tires, loud music and a sickening crunch of metal was not how Apollo Justice wanted to be woken up. (A Wild Ride - klapollo ace attorney mild canon insert or divergence; one-shot)

3. Dropped off in the country of his birth that he had no memory of, Apollo Justice had been shunted into the care of various people and facilities for the entirety of his first year or so in the states. (Soleil and the Demons - klapollo ace attorney canon divergent rewrite; multi-chap incomplete but not a real cliffhanger at current)

4. If you asked Klavier Gavin if he knew what it was like to be genuinely loved, he’d laugh in your face. (Acts of Love, Out of Order - klapollo ace attorney vaguely canon adjacent; complete)

5. The battle was over and they had lost so very much. Lady Rhea had disappeared in the conflict but so had their Professor. (Enlightened and Vivacious - fe3h with Byleth + brother oc, Edelgard/oc and Claude/oc sequel to #6 golden route au; incomplete)

6. After a month or so of teaching, Tate was pretty sure that it was the most difficult job she had ever had and that being a mercenary was far easier. (Potatoes and Rye - fe3h with Byleth + brother oc, Edelgard/oc and Claude/oc first part of #5 golden route au; complete but only for first part of plot. Incomplete sequel for rest)

7. Despite all appearances or opinions to the contrary, Charles Bingley was not a flighty person. (What Must Be Wanted In A Wife - Jane/Bingley, Lizzie/Darcy, pride & prejudice canon divergence au; presently incomplete)

8. Defeating the Doom Flags in her way by reaching the end of the official Fortune Lover Game had seemed like the last major hurdle Katarina Claes would have in the way of her freedom to live. (Into the Garden - my life as an otome villainess confused shrug fic; incomplete)

9. It had been a long time coming, but Mobei-jun was excited for this day. (Demonic Cinderella, or How to Marry Your Own Husband, a guide for silly Transmigrators - moshang scum villain, post-canon silliness; incomplete)

10. Another night, another nightmare.

It wasn’t even really night, but Wei Wuxian couldn’t tell from the darkness of his cave as he woke from the visions in his head. (Communication - Wangxian mdzs huge canon divergent everybody lives au; incomplete)

Editing on mobile is hard and I lost this the first two times. I could only think to tag @wittykitsune, @lacertae-dreamscape and @mrmissmrsrandom but anyone free to do this too

15 questions for 15 friends!

I was tagged by @helenarasmussen87 ! ARE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?

Birth name no, chosen name kind of? I wanted it to have the first two letters of my birth name still, and to have country origins to one of the countries I have blood from, so then I found one that was my favorite character's name in an old web comic I used to love. Would've still gone with it anyway because I like the name on its own, but I liked the little nod to a character I liked too, without it being equivalent to naming myself something everyone would recognize like Zuko or something lol WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?

Teared up? This week finding out my cat has another cancer lump. Cried-cried? I can't remember, but probably within the last six months DO YOU HAVE KIDS?

Nope, never WHAT SPORTS DO YOU PLAY/HAVE YOU PLAYED?

Never got into sports DO YOU USE SARCASM?

I used to a ton but have toned it down some. Only try to do funny/lighthearted sarcasm though WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?

Hair WHAT'S YOUR EYE COLOUR?

Grayish-blue SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?

If I had to pick one, scary movies? ANY TALENTS?

Uhh writing, drawing, cooking, decent at language learning but only one second language otherwise I get them mixed up lol WHERE WERE YOU BORN?

United States WHAT ARE YOUR HOBBIES?

Aforementioned stuff in talents, plus TV/movies (especially anime/cartoons), video games, reading DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS?

Four pets in my household, two dogs and two cats, though only one of the cats is mine-mine HOW TALL ARE YOU?

5'5"/165cm FAVOURITE SUBJECT IN SCHOOL?

Art DREAM JOB?

None at all

[gnomeicecream]

Joy! Joyous day! I have been tagged by @scribeprotra in an ask game. Four Ships, Last Song, Current Reading, Last Movie, and Craving

4 Ships:

Yue Qingyuan/Shen Jiu: Two great tastes that taste great...ah no, too bitter plah plah. XD Shen Jiu has a very strong presence in the narrative despite dying on page -1. He is the protagonist of a story where things never got better up until he became the next protagonist’s villain. And Yue Qingyuan loves that for him. Did you need him to hide shidi’s body? Do you want him to sweat the sweat from your brow from beating that one child in particular?

Seriously though they have so much potential to dig into. Reveling the one key information each needs, that one event didn’t happen or happened in a different way or to someone else, great! The high charge of emotion that is bubbling like a pressure cooker! Eee!

3xun, Nie Mingjue/Lan Xichen/Jin Guangyao: Just like the above ship, but now with new angles! Class struggle, legitimacy, compassion, justice, reasonably priced love and a hard boiled egg (leading to a son being thrown down like, four sets of stairs. Seriously. Meng Yao is the spice that holds this recipe together he can have whatever he wants). There is that same pressure coming from things just never meshing right because people are talking past eachother as a result of their individual upbringings and traumas.

Cloud Strife/Barret Wallace: Man. Big. Mmmmm. Cloud Strife could use some looking after, and Barret Wallace has daddy energy to spare! This one is more of a rare pair off to the side of the great Seph, Aerith, Tifa, Zack, all those other soldiers, war. They have things in common! Both are dual survivors of Shinra burnt towns, both lead Avalache, they have a tension that comes from Cloud replacing him as the leader even while they both come to try and trust eachother. Good meat to make a good story with.

Kim Dokja/Yoo Joonghyuk/Han Suyoung: Did you want to cry because of the very concept of platonic incarnations of the love that is both given and received in the act of reading, being a reader, writing, being written, being yourself within and without a character? Well it doesn’t matter if you don’t this book and ship will find your tears. The book is put together like a crystalline clock, you can see the machinations and they are only made more lovely and tragic by understanding. But in specific to this ship, they have the tension that I need to make a ship enjoyable. Big emotions. Hidden feelings.

Last Song: I’ve got a piano BGM ten hour mix on, heaven knows what any one song I’m listening to at any time is called-Oh hey wait thats Always With me (spirited Away).

Current Reading: I’ve got 6 tabs of fanfic open right now. The Power of Friendship (and This Gun I found) by Gallus cause I wanted to reread when the new chapter came out then put that off for smaller bites. Thats Not a Real Trope You Hack Author by Boom_After_Dark. It starts off haha funny, the author is stuck in his own book and encountering tropes he deliberately used incorrectly. Oh, those are feelings. He is not haha anymore. Hm, a long fic collection with Shen Jiu by blackflowetea. Stripper au Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian by pumpkinpaix. My Erstwhile Dear by ErradianWhoCantRead which is a Jiggy skips town after Guanyin Temple then writes back home fic. and Anyway, heres Wuji by kakikaeru. Very funny fic with the Lan Juniors + Jin baby.

Last Movie: Puss in Boots, the Last Wish. I had a great time! It was a well put together movie, good storylines and good art. I would rec it to people even if they haven't been keeping up with the shrekverse (goodness knows I haven't been)

Craving: Oh hm, I am pretty content at the moment. But I am always down for some sushi. Mmmm...sushi.

There was blood in Obi-Wan’s mouth.

Encore (Outer Wilds, The Prisoner/Hatchling)

In a dark forest clearing that did and did not exist, there was a fire.

As the twin suns descended the hazy, cloudless sky, another pair—far from twins but equally fated—landed on the planet’s surface.

Cad Bane stirred from sleep with the urgency of a well-kept tooka.

Whispers, Winces & Wishes (Star Wars, The Bad Batch gen)
