fic writer interview

thank you to my beloved @clare-with-no-i for the tag! i adore you!

Name: Kat :)

Fandoms I write for: mostly jily, but I've dipped my toes in some hinny and next gen!

Two-shot: I've never really written a two-shot, but You're Worth Splinching For is currently two chapters out of five so... lmao

Most popular multichapter: Chronicles of a Sixth-Year Friendship which I should really write the last chapter of hmm

Worst part of writing: the starting :( i have such a hard time starting off because I never get ~into the zone~ but if I wait for ~the zone~ then I'll never write anything either lol

How you choose your titles: titling is THE worst! i'm so horrid at it! but lately i've just been taking them for t swift songs which is not sustainable in the long run but who cares, really?

Do you outline: ummmm hahahha sometimes? i am for YWSF and i tried for my jilychallenge fic because it's long and confusing but my fics always end up all over the place when i try

Ideas I probably won’t get to but it would be nice: so many, but i wrote one (1) chapter of a single dad!james multichapter that i have no motivation to finish now, so it's probably going to sit at the bottom of my word documents forever.

Callouts: girl can you please start outlining! your writing is so messy, what the hell is going on there!! also, please start revising your fics, you literally post the second you're done with something which is not sustainable

Best writing habits: idk, but i think i'm a fast writer, which is cool. it takes me like ~45 mins on average to write 1000 words which idk if it's fast or slow but it works, yay!

Spicy tangential opinion: the way I'm blanking out all of a sudden despite always having something to add lmao..... ok my opinion is very recently developed and not really an unpopular opinion but I'm kind of sick of fics where james is shown affectionate to the level of clownery with lily and she's apathetic/uses insults to deflect any emotions she has. let lily show her emotions 2k21! this is kind of coming out of nowhere but yeah, that's it lol.
