20 Questions for Fanfic Writers
Ty @ezracomehome for the tag 😘
----
How many works do you have on ao3?
38
What’s your total ao3 word count?
156,652
What fandoms do you write for?
whatever is floating up the river to me that day. lil bit of this, lil bit of that. ;)
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Playdate - 890 kudos
Of Flowers and Numbers - 736 kudos
Accidents Happen - 422 kudos
Of Microwaves and Dodgeballs - 414 kudos
The One With the Single Room - 377 kudos
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I never know if I should or not? Idk I was better at it on ff.net because the reply/inbox method worked better in my brain than how it goes on AO3 but if it's an indepth review/comment I try and reply these days
What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Published, I can think of something's not right which was thg and not the happiest
What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
most of them tbh I love happy endings xD not sure what defines "happiest" because it's different for all
Do you get hate on fics?
I have historically, but as mik said it was definitely more on ff.net than AO3. Most of it has been easy to ignore overall.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do but not often, partially because of the ace part of me that doesn't entirely get it from an emotional perspective lolol. I'm most comfortable with F/F but can reasonably (I hope lol) write F/M.
Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
LAWL do stargate sg1/atlantis ones count? xD
Otherwise I don't think so? I've written AU's that have taken place in a different fandom universe but that's the closest.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of so fingers are crossed that is still true
Have you ever had a fic translated?
I have! With permission, thankfully - which is all I ask tbh. :)
Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
I bounce ideas off of other writers/friends but never officially cowritten.
What’s your all-time favorite ship?
idk if I could choose just one !! part of me wants to say it would be a Stargate ship like Sam/Janet because Stargate is always the ultimate series for me but I feel like I'm biased bc I'm currently obsessed with them again. If this was the me of like ten years ago I would have said Swan Queen which is what I have written the most for but god OUAT and I are forever sworn enemies I just want to bully that series the way it bullied me. I'm going with Sam/Janet just because currently I would die for them.
What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I have a really good Friends with Benefit AU for Ivanova/Talia that I really want to finish and get out. A Soulmate AU for my bois Ted/Trent. A Heroes AU for Sam/Janet. Nothing has been published but I know they're waiting to be finished.
What are your writing strengths?
crack
but for real, funsies stuff is my fave. Also AUs, I excel at going in depth in my thoughts for them.
What are your writing weaknesses?
the serious stuff/angst tbh I just want to imagine it I don't want to put it into wordssss
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I enjoy when there are translations in the end notes for when I'm reading it but I also will otherwise put it into a translate service. I guess when writing I will keep it to simple phrases I know more than like full sentences? I'm not sure I have a strong enough opinion on this tbh
First fandom you wrote for?
zoowemama 100% was stargate - it was terrible and I'm so glad I have improved since because it was purely self indulgent but I think my first like ten fics were stargate, with maybe a twilight one or two.
Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
my extremely self-indulgent THG AU with Hayffie in the stargate universe. I just wish the stargate universe was as popular of an AU for other fandom works but alas that is what I get for falling in love with 90s scifi !! but this was so much fun to write and put easter eggs in and it was one of the first ones I wrote purely for me and less about what amount of hits/kudos/reviews/etc.

mr. tea drinker. escorts cargo from yilong wharf (somewhere in chenyu vale) to liyue harbor. chenyu vale is known for tea leaf growing. where are tea leaves grown irl????? see below
SOUTHERNER??? southerner confirmed????
tea drinker and dim sum enjoyer.........
wushou -> 舞兽 -> literally translated as "beast dancing" -> it's just lion dance but with a knockoff lion ig
TIL! seems that he's based off the red/black lion known as guan gong / kwan kung / 关公!
irl, they look like this (which also explains where his black/red color scheme comes from)
this specific lion is one of 3, the other two are 2 other historical figures from romance of the 3 kingdoms (liu bei and zhang fei. this one comes from guan yu)
his constellation name is Leo Expergiscens which means awakening lion. it's 醒狮 in chinese, which is another name for lion dance used in canton/guangdong !!!
NO INCOME FROM LION DANCING T_T it's his side hustle.....
your honor he's perfect please release him alr
