#thakn you so much tori! 8')

[joulethieves]

B, D, I, J, Q, V, Y !!!!!!!!!

thank you for these!!! before i answer: disclaimer @ everyone that before july i haven’t written fic in 8 years. or anything for that matter. so--taaake that with a grain of salt

B. Who’s your favorite side-character from something you wrote?

I really surprised myself by how enjoyable it was to write Jules. I was a bit hesitant but for some reason Ffamran and Jules really fell into place in my fic Streetear as well as Chop; whenever I write their banter I just have a lot of fun and again get surprised at myself with what comes out.

D. Any drawings or pictures that had a big influence on your writing?

Yes. Oh my god. I found this artist named mochi on pixiv who not only adored Vaan, but adored BalVaan...anyway their Vaan art is just amazing and it’s so clear they love him as much as I do. I enjoyed this piece of him and Pen dancing in Jahara.  It’s the last one down on the page. Also I really love @sovaz’s BalVaan art she did.

I.  What’s your favorite work you did this year? Why?

That’s hard to choose, mostly because I’m not super crazy about anything I’ve written thus far since being back in the scene. I write a lot of porn. Jesus. Honestly the year isn’t over yet and I’m hacking away at what might be a 4-5k BalVaan oneshot that is quickly becoming my fave tbh so...stay tuned. Otherwise UHH. I’m fond of Facile, the one where Bal tells Vaan about his past; it was initially an RP and I had the idea of Bal finally telling Vaan but--Vaan just, not caring, yknow? And I’m glad we got to put a BalVaan spin on that situation. I also ok, fine, I really like the oneshot Lucky that I wrote in the Cirrus fic. Bc...skypirate boyfriends.

J.  What are the best jokes you told this year? Any jokes you thought were funny that people didn’t catch? Vice-versa? 

Balvaan is full of jokes, it’s hard to choose. But I personally am gonna just be lazy and point to my crackfic Wingman where Pen is fujoshi garbage.

Q. Quote three bits of writing you read his year. Can be your writing, or not. 

- Jules regards him, finding Ffamran’s eyes too easily in the shadow of his cloak. “You’re something, Bunansa. In all my days I've never met a man who wants to move down in the world.”

“Not down,” Ffamran counters capriciously. “More out.”

- Without that blasted ring, she seems lighter, now. When she finds what she wants, she may wear it again, along with her crown. 

- There are two things Balthier had to learn the hard way: One, do not ever take free samples from Rabanastran street vendors after dark. And two, after all this time, Vaan is far more self-aware than he's given the boy credit for.

V. Which story was the most viscerally pleasing to write? Tell us your narrative kinks. 

The nameless oneshot I’m working on now is really really enjoyable for me, but also Stellazzio. Uh. I’m a hack. None of these are published yet. The oneshot I’m referring to should be up by the weekend and Stellazzio UHHHHHH. I guessss aside from that I really enjoyed the Rabanastre festival wank I put into Mirage. I am a sucker for culture substance and atmosphere. As a photographer I am very entranced by trying to capture the light and tone of a scene. That tends to make my writing very....dense and hard to read. Sigh.

Y. Why did you write? For fun, for a friend, for acclaim? 

I gave this some thought before I realize that I write bc this OTP is constantly screaming at me and they are truly my muses, having finally been re-ignited with the remake. They feel like home to me to be honest. But they are still a challenge. IDK they are constantly inspiring me which is very overwhelming I wish the muses would shut up. I write bc if I dont they would slowly kill me. And then I write smut for my friends bc I am thoughtful.
