20 Questions For Fic Writers

Thank you @darktwistedgenderplural and @malinthebodyguard for the tag!

How many works do you have on Ao3?

24 that are currently available under my pseuds and 45 that I have made anonymous for various reasons

What's your total Ao3 word count?

481,107

What fandoms do you write for?

I only tend to write for one fandom at a time, so YR right now. I have also written for Community, Shadow and Bone, the Simon Snow trilogy (Carry On), Welcome to Night Vale and The English (side note: please watch The English (2022) it’s amazing and will break your heart!) Plus a couple of other fandoms with the anonymous fics.

Top five fics by kudos:

Excluding the anonymous fics:

Redefine Perfection (WTNV) 2,480 kudos

Introduction to Unconscious Bias (Community) 1,650 kudos

maybe now maybe here tonight (YR) 954 kudos – you guys work hard! That’s my most recent fic, whereas Redefine Perfection is nearly 11 years old.

Endgame Studies for False Beginners (Community) 853

Intro to Lust Bridling (Community) 787

Do you respond to comments?

I try to

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Probably and then, one day, you miss but the ending is really only angsty because it’s a missing scene and you know what happens next in the show.

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

It’s hard to say, most of my fics have happy endings. Probably History of Sexuality because they get married.

Do you get hate on fics?

Not recently, but I have in the past. I dared to write a fic where one half of the fandom’s most popular pairing ended up with an OC. Also, some people are weirdly obsessed with top/bottom dynamics and heaven forbid you write something that doesn’t comply with their headcanons.

Do you write smut?

Occasionally.

Craziest crossover:

N/A

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes, several.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, once.

All time favourite ship?

Don’t make me choose between my children 😭

(But it’s probably trobed. Sorry to say this on my YR blog but it’s the friends to lovers for me)

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

The one I’m writing right now 😭

What are your writing strengths?

Pining. It’s also my favourite thing to write. I love it when canon gives me a character who’s born to stare forlornly at the love of their life (looking at you Wilhelm)

What are your writing weaknesses?

I suppose my greatest weakness is losing interest too quickly. Most of my fics are one shots for a reason. I really admire writers who stick to writing the same fic for years, I could never do that.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

It can occasionally work well but it’s very rare. Most of the time, either your POV character doesn’t understand what’s being said so it makes no sense to include the dialogue, or they do and therefore so should your reader.

In YR specifically, it doesn't make sense to me when fics include words in Swedish. Everything the characters say is in Swedish, not just those words. (No criticism to people who do this, it just sort of breaks the immersion for me, I guess.)

First fandom you wrote in?

Harry Potter

Favourite fic you've written?

Introduction to Unconscious Bias. I’m ambivalent about a lot of my fics but I do love this one.

I don't know who hasn't done this yet, consider yourself tagged if you want to!
