20 Questions for Fic Writers
I was tagged by @evelinessa! Thank you Eve!
1. How many works do you have on A03?
Technically 10, but 5 of them are part of the Ace Attorney Holiday Exchange and won't be on my profile for a bit over a week.
2. What's your total A03 word count?
126,004 - which is insane if taking into account that I only started posting my own work in July this year...
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Mainly Ace Attorney, but there is also one lonely Metroid translation.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Beyond Duty (nsfw)
Turnabout Labyrinth
A King's Heart (nsfw)
The many lives of Larry Butz (Kill-a-character-Bingo)
Cyanid (German translation of Cyanide by @sablegear0)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Since I don't have all that many comments yet, I reply to them all, because they always make my day. Also I know from a readers pov, that there's nothing greater than an author replying to a comment. So I try my best.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
That has to be The many lives of Larry Butz. It is for the Kill-a-character-Bingo after all and is so far the only one with an unhappy ending. Even though the personification of Death makes it a bit humorous.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
That I cannot say yet, but if I don't forget, I'll add it in a few days once the creators for the exchange are revealed.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Thankfully not so far.
9. Do you write smut?
Yes. Most of the time it's porn with a lot of plot. Because that's what I also prefer to read. Just a regular (good) story, where the sex is also narrated and not fading to black.
10. Do you write crossovers?
I write a lot of AUs, no downright crossovers so far. You maybe could count The many lives of Larry Butz as a crossover, since the Death there is heavily inspired by the Discworld Death, but since it is the AA universe, it's not really the same Death, even if he talks in all caps as well.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope, but I translated my favourite Metroid fic into German. Sadly I never finished, because I was bitten by the Ace Attorney bug and didn't have any braincells left for Metroid. But there are still quite a few chapters for part 2 sitting on my computer, so maybe, if we get a new metroid game, I'll be inspired to finish it.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes, A King's Heart is a collaboration with @voidify333.
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
It's the wrong question really, but the ship that I'm writing most for right now is of course Narumitsu/Mistunaru.
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Uh... so far I am hoping to finish all my WIPs. At least all wips that are already partly posted to AO3. There may be some sitting on my computer, that will never see the light of day though.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Hm... I'm good at every day fluff. Little everyday scenes where the characters enjoy life and each other. Funnily enough I am also good at getting my characters into awful situations, provided I know that they will resolve themselves and have a happy or at least hopeful ending after all the drama.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Writing a villain's pov. I tried. I gave up. I can write a villain, but only from the pov of other characters.
I also struggle with getting a coherent story together, if I don't have a good concept for the whole thing from the start.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
No problem, as long as it's German. :D Thankfully that's actually helpful in Ace Attorney.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
First fandom I actually wrote something down for is probably Metroid. The first work that I told stories for is probably Sir Walter Scotts Ivanhoe, when I was a little kid. I've told stories since I learnt to talk, I only very recently started to have the confidence to write them down and share them.
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
Since I cannot yet tell you about that one fluffy fic yet, I'll have to go with Beyond Duty.
