HI! I’m one greedy person and want some insight into your writer brains!

(you can totally skip out on answering this)(I’m doing this off of anon because that seems to be dangerous territory)

1- Did you write something recently you thought you’d never write?

2- What’s a line you’ve written that you’re extremely proud of?

3- Is there something you wrote you thought people would hate but they ended up loving?

4- Did you read something recently that was different and ended up liking? If so, what is it?

5- What does your brain go through when an author you fan-girl over reads, kudos, comments on your stuff?

6- What do think you do best in your writing?

7- What’s something that makes you nervous about your writing and when it comes to posting? (I thought of ways to word it better but my English isn’t the strongest – sorry)

8- What’s something you do in your writing process that wastes time, but you still do it because that’s the only way you’re able to get something out?

9- Is there something you’ve been working on a lot that you can’t seem to get out?

10- SHARE A SNIPPET OF Q9

Hi! And oh wow, thank you! This is so fun! Okay!

1- Did you write something recently you thought you’d never write?

Yeah! I can’t say I ever saw myself writing a Mick x Mary Pat fic, haha, so teasing out that dynamic has been extremely fun. It’s been interesting too to try and capture both of the character’s voices and to explore what they might be like interacting with each other, particularly given they’ve never shared a scene together. I’m pretty happy with the result, and have been totally delighted by people taking a chance on it given it’s such an odd pairing, haha.

2- What’s a line you’ve written that you’re extremely proud of?

A lot of them, actually, but this one from Drive You Mad often springs to mind:

He hooks a finger in the edges of her panties, yanking them down over the swell of her ass, swallowin’ her hitched breath too before finally shifting back enough to pull them off the rest of the way. He tosses them to the floor and then he just - -

Looks at her.

Takes in every soft, long, pale, twisting inch of her.

Some Madonna in the mornin’ and a nymph at night, don’t matter, she always leans fey, leans into otherworldly, leans into somethin’ he wants to kneel at the feet of and worship, somethin’ he wants to catch in his hand and lay out in his bed, and fuck, he knows he could lose hours, days, years in the curve of her breast and the crease of her thigh.

Could lose forever in her lips.

Somethin’ more in her cunt.

3- Is there something you wrote you thought people would hate but they ended up loving?

I don’t think I’ve written anything that I thought people would hate per se, but there are definitely stories I’ve thought would be more niche than they ended up being? I thought that both of my big AUs - the pornstar au and the pirate au would be much more quietly received than they were. I figured they’d have a few people who liked them, but that they would have a much smaller audience than they did. I’m forever thrilled in that sense that so many people connected with them both!

4- Did you read something recently that was different and ended up liking? If so, what is it?

I’ve already recced it a few times on here, but I’m thoroughly enjoying @joeyjoeylee‘s Both Sides of the Law! I’m not the first person to jump on fics that age Beth and Rio down a lot, purely because I like their dynamic in canon and I like that they collide after really having lived a life each, y’know? I just find that fun and interesting and a bit unique.

That said, certain writers are really able to translate that dynamic richly to younger settings and different contexts in ways that work, and @joeyjoeylee has absolutely done it in their law school au, and I love it.

5- What does your brain go through when an author you fan-girl over reads, kudos, comments on your stuff?

I get extremely smiley, hahaha. There’s nothing like a great comment, honestly. I’m not always the best at replying to them because I often just get overwhelmed and am never entirely sure how to reply in a way that really conveys my gratitude. But yes, it’s extremely lovely when anyone takes the time to comment, and when it’s an author I love and respect, it has the added bonus of making me blush, haha.

6- What do think you do best in your writing?

I think I’m pretty good at capturing atmosphere and nuance? I like to write description generally because I think it creates mood and builds narrative tension, and I think I generally do that pretty well. I’m always trying to get better though!

7- What’s something that makes you nervous about your writing and when it comes to posting? (I thought of ways to word it better but my English isn’t the strongest – sorry)

Ah! Your English is amazing! And I don’t really get nervous about posting anymore, but I do feel like my writing can occasionally have what we call in editing a ‘saggy middle’. In that sense, I think sometimes it can feel a bit poorly paced and need more tightening up than I like to do, but again, that’s something I’m trying to get better at too.

8- What’s something you do in your writing process that wastes time, but you still do it because that’s the only way you’re able to get something out?

Oh god, too many things, hahaha. Generally speaking though, I spend a lot of time thinking a story through before I even start writing it. In that sense, I tend to go for long walks and just chew through story problems which is a process that really works for me. I have a good memory for that sort of thing too, so as I rethink things, it often feels a bit like I’m ironing out the creases in a story. It’s a system that really works for me.

9- Is there something you’ve been working on a lot that you can’t seem to get out?

Yeah! It’s a bit of a bummer, but it’s the second two parts of See You in the Light, which is insane really, given I posted the first part so long ago. It’s something I keep stop-starting working on, which is not a good habit to get into. I am really hopeful I might be able to get it done by the end of the year though!

10- SHARE A SNIPPET OF Q9

They’re barely in the front door before Elizabeth’s turning on him, her lips pulled into a thin, hard line and her blue eyes flashing bright, and just fuck if that isn’t rich right now. He feels his own jaw tighten before he can help it, feels his shoulders roll back, his traps shift and coil, and he’s ready for it when she says:

“Do you enjoy provoking him?”

She’s got this tone is the thing – all patronisin’, all high ground and at least that figures. Trust her to play naïve, trust her to play like she don’t know exactly what that dumbass ex of hers is like.

Striding past her, Rio starts down the hall into the house, heading towards the kitchen just to move, to shake some of the irritation out of his legs, to give himself some sort of direction that lets him play this lighter. Lets the anger seep out of his tone just because he knows it’ll piss her off.

“Yeah, you know what? I think I do,” he hums flippantly as he glances back at her, and it’s like a prize, the way her chest flushes red in fury. “Yeah, kinda like an experiment. See how long it takes him to figure it out. He this slow when you married him, or he inhaled too many car fumes runnin’ that business of his into the ground?”

Thank you again! <3

Hello! Well first off I would like to thank you for including me in this, it’s really lovely ❤😘 I’m not sure how good my responses will be as I’ve been buried deep in assignment work and setting up RL stuff but I will do my best!

1- Did you write something recently you thought you’d never write?

Well to be fair, I never thought I would write a pegging fic soooo... might not be that recent but I think it counts?

2- What’s a line you’ve written that you’re extremely proud of?

I’m suuuper bad at remembering lines I’ve written. I’m one of those people who basially goes aoisnfgoaefrinfbinboiandfoinsefnd on a page for a couple of thousand words does one edit, and then casts it out into the Ao3 universe to fend for itself. I don’t even remember what happens in half the stuff I write let alone specific lines 🤣

3- Is there something you wrote you thought people would hate but they ended up loving?

I never go into a fic assuming people will hate it because I figure there’s an audience for most things. I am always surprised by the number of kudos The Flood I Saw... has though, although I have no idea how many are genuine as it was hit by the kudos bombing squad.

4- Did you read something recently that was different and ended up liking? If so, what is it?

I recently read a Boba Fett/Ahsoka Tano fic that I clicked on against my better judgement and was very pleasantly surprised. I didn’t bookmark it though, although it may have given me a new addition to my armada.

5- What does your brain go through when an author you fan-girl over reads, kudos, comments on your stuff?

I don’t fangirl over authors, to be honest. I love all comments/kudos/reblogs equally, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight, and every single one is treasured (you know, unless they’re being a dick. Then they can fuck right off)

6- What do think you do best in your writing?

Ermmm... IDK either dialogue or fucking? Someone else needs to answer that!

7- What’s something that makes you nervous about your writing and when it comes to posting? (I thought of ways to word it better but my English isn’t the strongest – sorry)

Probably the content. I know my work isn’t at all up a lot of people’s alley and while I know that doesn’t matter I’m always worried I won’t tag something accurately, or someone will click on my work expecting hearts and flowers romance and then be disappointed they wasted their time. I guess I always stress over the presentation - title, tags, summary all that stuff. I’m that person who wants to write ‘I suck at summaries’ and then posts an excerpt because they can’t write 50 words.

8- What’s something you do in your writing process that wastes time, but you still do it because that’s the only way you’re able to get something out?

Ummm... stare at a blank page for way too long?

Nah, I spend too much time on research because I fall down wikipedia holes on the regular. I learn so much interesting information doing fic research that often has nothing to do with the original question!

9- Is there something you’ve been working on a lot that you can’t seem to get out?

I haven’t been working on anything a lot recently, but I am still trying to get my Dark Angel reboot fic off the ground.

10- SHARE A SNIPPET OF Q9

I can’t really, because it’s just an outline at the moment! But also non GG related so probably not of interest that much.

Thanks again so much for including me in this message, I really appreciate it ❤
