5) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

ughh so, fair warning, I have a lot of works. I definitely do not remember all of them, however I do have four works tagged as Unhappy Ending and then another nine works tagged Ambiguous/Open Ending, which is way more than I’d thought I had!

however, there is one fic that stands out in mind when I think about which of my works has the angstiest ending! Heed the tags :)

And Now?

Stiles Stilinski finds out who his soul mates are by setting one on fire.

6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

ughhhhhhhh I truly do not know???

7) Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I don’t write many crossovers at all! I have some mcu/teen wolf cross overs, I have a teen wolf/glee cross over plotted (that i’ll probably never write), but my strangest is probably this teen wolf/x-men cross over!

what-ifs (don’t fuckin’ matter to no one)

Teen And Up Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply | M/M | X-Men (Alternate Timeline Movies)Teen Wolf (TV) | Logan (X-Men)/Sheriff Stilinski | Logan (X-Men), Sheriff Stilinski, Stiles Stilinski | Memory Loss, Telepathy, Mentions of War, Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Child Neglect, Grief/Mourning, Telepath Stiles Stilinski, Telekinetic Stiles Stilinski, Nightmares, Cuddling & Snuggling

There’s somethin’ there. Somethin’ that has him sleeping curled up on his side with a pillow tucked to his chest, somethin’ that has him splittin’ up his food ‘fore he eats ‘cause he don’t need as much as a baseline. Has him turnin’ to tell someone shit that ain’t there. There’s just...there’s just somethin’ there that’s missin’ and it shouldn’t be missin’.

8) Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

sometimes! I don’t write a lot of smut because I actively dislike writing it, but the smut I do write is super super soft and sappy and full of emotions lol

9) Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I respond to almost all of my comments! comments i won’t respond to: negative comments, unsolicited criticism, comments that aren’t relevant to the fic itself, comments simply asking for more

I love love love responding to comments! I love every single comment that I get and I want to show how much I appreciate getting them, and personally I think responding to comments is the only way to do that! everyone has different comment philosophies, but for me, if someone is taking the time to comment on my fic like I so badly want them to, I think it’s important to respond to show my appreciation!

10) Have you ever received hate on a fic?

aha YEAH I DO. this past weekend I actually got a number of shitty comments and had to file two ao3 abuse reports for harrasment (: I love it

I am no stranger to hate comments. I write copious amounts of age difference fic. I write copious amounts of incest. I am not going to apologize nor am I going to feel bad for enjoying either.

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?

ughhh I sure as heck hope not!

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I have a number of them :) I always always do my best to make sure it’s linked to the original fic, AND that I add a tag noting that there’s a translation!

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

I have made a few attempts! the only successful attempt is there's nothing i wouldn't do to make you feel my love which is a collaboration with @flightinflame, not quite a co-write!

14) What’s your all-time favorite ship?

I am unable to answer this lol I don’t have an all-time favourite. mutli-shipping forever.

15) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

god okay this is such a good question! imma ramble about a few so bear with me here! (i may have 700 posted works but I also have a few hundreds wips & ideas floating around in my gdrive, too)

gone & past - this is a starrish wip i’d started in 2017. I ended up deleting it from ao3 to rewrite it and never got there, but I have about 20k of content! I built my home, inside of you - thorki human au with college jock thor and high school dancer loki. i’ve got a start and nothing else Sheriff Stilinski Gets Some Sweet Sweet Lovin’ - massive wip where... well, the sheriff fucks his way through the entire pack. I want to write it but. trans allison au - this is an au where allison is trans and that changes the entire season 1 canon. it features stallison, petopher, and a looooooong ass outline that will never exist beyond my wips You Fill My Heart (With Such a Gentle Love) - this is a stetopher a/b/o au with pregnant omega stiles and alpha pair petopher falling in love. it started as a labour of love to someone I no longer have in my life. I have about 30k, a full outline, but idk. makes me sad to think about it they slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered - this is my big x-men first class rewrite that I honestly don’t think i’ll ever finish. I have a few thousand words, a full outline, but no love lost for cherik so. doubtful Physiotherapy (I'll Be Your Baby) - this was a fic I was SO excited about, and then it kinda flopped and stayed a wip because I didn’t have a plan or the motivation to finish it. it’s a winterspider human au with amputee bucky and science twink peter that I adore the premise of but who knows breathing you in chapter 2 - I have a massive second chapter planned for this fic but the first did so good so fast I am way too intimidated to write more in case everyone hates it lmao

there are more arjgoirjeg there are so many more but these are the bigger ones I can think of right now!

16) What are your writing strengths?

ughhhhh I hate answering this because I have, like, seriously bad imposter syndrome around my writing BUT I do think i’m able to weave poignant backstory into narration & i write strong, distinctive narrative voices!

17) What are your writing weaknesses?

literally I can’t write settings at all. I don’t know how people vividly describe settings but I absolutely cannot do that and it’s one of the reasons I haven’t delved into original fiction. I need to write the town my characters live in?? fuck that imma just use a location we’ve seen on screen & let readers fill in the blanks lmao

I am also shit at long fic. I don’t have the mind for long and interesting plots, and I don’t have the focus to write long fic (which is why every long fic i’ve ever posted has taken me literal years to complete smh).

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I like it! both as a reader and as a writer. as a writer, I generally only use a few words, or small sentences that can be understood by context, and I generally don’t

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?

the last thing I wrote and posted was this one:

Languish

It was a really, really hot Saturday, and most of the school was outback, enjoying the sun, not caring about the heat, and having the time of their life.

Everyone but Bobby, of course, who was melting away.

“I just want to remind everyone that I make ice. I am the Ice Man. I am not built for the heat and soon enough I’m going to melt away into nothing.”

20) What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

this is another impossible question! I have a few I really enjoy, but I really don’t think I have a favourite that stands out above the rest!

i’m tagging: @4magicandmayhem @insertmeaningfulusername @midrashic @wynnefic @ikeracity @stronglyobsessed @elledelajoie @wolfnprey & anyone else who sees it and wants to do it! seriously! go ahead :)

ooc asks for mundayy!

1: Why did you name your blog that?

Lila is really emotionally fragile, so, that is why.

2: Why did you chose the theme you did?

Cause I could customise the background & edit most of the aesthetics without having to mess around too much with the html. Bless the creator of the theme tbqh.

3: How important are aesthetics to you? Do you do anything in particular because it looks better?

I like my aesthetics lmao, but i’m not like judgy of people who dont use them. Usually I just use 100x100 or 90x90 icons with small text but that’s probably it.

4: With which three words would you describe your writing?

Detailed (usually), rough, idiomatic.

5: With which three words would you like others to describe your writing?

eloquent, lyrical/poetic, clear.

6: With which three words would you describe your character?

self-distructive, heavy-hearted, passonate.

7: With which three words would you like others to describe your character?

strong, realistic, well written.

8: Name something or someone who influences your writing, art or characterization.

There is a lot of stuff that mixes in with my influences of my writing. There’s not a lot of writers that I can say influince my writing ( besides a few writing partners that I really like ) but I think real life influences my writing a lot. Not spesifically one thing, or person, but the dynamics of real life because no one is fully good or bad & I know a lot of books & stories rely on a ‘bad’ and ‘good’ person to be in a good book but usually, in real life it’s a lot more complicated than that & I kind of pull from how many layers ( shreck refrence ) people have and how no one is fully good or bad usually? I don’t know.

9: What’ll make you unfollow a blog?

Not cutting posts, not tagging nsfw (if you’re posting a lot of like smutty gifs without tagging them imma unfollow like soo quick it gets annoying) and if I can see someone being really like, not clingy, but like pushy on the dash or making people feel bad for not writing with them that makes me super annoyed & I’ll probably unfollow you if you’re being rude or doing something like that too tbh.

10: What’ll make you follow a blog?

If I see that you’re active & like, open to writing with a muse like lila & if I read some of your writing & i feel like we’ll be able to write well together then you’ve got the follow!

11: What do you think are essential questions to ask yourself during character development?

Hm, I try to make things realistic so I usually ask like, what kinds of things make them mad (like, loud people, cats, dogs, ect) and then why they don’t like those things because there is rarely ever a time people don’t like something for no reason, like. if of my muses doesn’t like loud people it’s like – okay, so were their parents fighting a lot when they were younger? are they sensitive to sound?? What made them sensitive to sound?? things like that, to try and figure out their past to see why they are the way they are in the present. idk. I do other things to but that’s just one thing.

12: How do you best learn about another character?

Reading bios!! reading bios & I like too snoop in tags when I write with other muses sometimes?? im that person?? lmao but I also like, if I am not anxious, asking the mun about the muse to learn about them ‘cause if anyone did the same with my muses I would prolly word vomit cause it’s fun to talk with people about your muses, yanno?

13: Does great fanon trump canon?

Yes. But all of it is really ‘to each his own’ cause like, good fannon sometimes becomes cannon if the fans are persisitant ( and if it’s a good headcannon ) and canno is… well cannon the originial writer wrote it so it should be respected in some sence but also.. some of it is bad so we ignore it. It just depends.

14: Is lore important to you? Do you feel you know it?

If it’s important to the character it’s imoportant to me. So if I have a character with lore ( like lila ) it’s important for me to know about it! Whether it’s her supernatural lore or knowlege of like, mental dissorders that she has it’s really important to me that I’m informed as much as I can be on things so that she’s as accurate as she could possibly be to who she is & when it comes to lore… lila’s is hard ‘cause im making it but like with other muses, with other lore I do like to know it.

15: How much did you draw on canon when you made your character?

She’s OC so… this doesn’t apply to her lmao

16: What kinds of threads do you like the best?

Angsty… or smut??? Look it’s gotta have a lot of emotion behind it for me to be invested. Sometimes I can do fluff but as fluffy as Lila looks & acts sometimes she’s a very angsty/darker character.

17: What kind of relationships would you like your character to have more of?

Friendships/Rivals. I would love for her to have more people that she doesn’t like like, cause she’s a very difficult person and she does not get along with everyone so I think, as much as I would like her to have friends, and ships ( and fwb, and angstships I think it would be great to have someone she literally hates to write with lmao

18: Which other fandoms are you into?

I lot? and not a lot at the same time? I love a lot of movies, I love disnet but I haven’t watched a ton of shows recently, like the last show I watched was Stranger Things but I haven’t watched season two!! so ugh! But I love wonder woman ( not a big fan of DC ) but I am a big fan of marvel too.

19: How seriously do you take your rping?

Lol, pretty seriously. I wanna be an author at some point, ( I mean not jk rowling big… but… maybe, ya never know ) but I wanna write as my career if I’m lucky enough so I take it pretty seriously most of the time.

20: Do you prefer to plot things out, or improvise?

Um both? But mostly improvising ‘cause I feel like if you plot too much there’s no room to grow with it & also I’m not good at figuring out plots so lmao.
