20 questions for fic writers
tagged by the lovely @starrybouquet 💜
1. how many works do you have on Ao3? twenty-three (counting the tiny ones)
2. what's your total Ao3 word count? i almost never look at the stats page. it says 101,051. there's more on my gdrive... definitely more... there has to be.
3. what fandoms do you write for? stargate sg1 sam/jack ... and some unpublish rpf that we won't get into... 👀
4. what are your top five fics by kudos? they're all pretty close tbh.
Losing Touch WIP (M, Stargate, S/J, 35k) 690 kudos
Closing the Distance (E, Stargate, S/J, 4k) 568 kudos
Better or Right (E, Stargate, S/J, 20k) - 567 kudos
Setting the Mood (E, Stargate, S/J, 6k) - 432 kudos
Desire (E, Stargate, S/J, 4k) - 407 kudos (which beats out Perfectly Explainable by a whole 2 kudos 😆)
5. do you respond to comments? yes, eventually i do! they always make me smile. of course if you're enough of a dickhead with a bad attitude you might even get a particularly snarky reply if you catch me on an unforgiving day. 🙃
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? that's got to be Grief and Loss/Loss and Regret (E, Stargate, S/J, 4k) which has ALL the feels bad content. 😬
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? i think most of them have a happy ending... (that's what she said). maybe Better or Right or Better Than Ice Cream.
8. Do you get hate on fics? no, most people are pretty nice and reasonable. there's maybe a handful of entitled "update!" comments that have rubbed me the wrong way.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? lol. yes. LISTEN. if AT says "i called him sir... i think he liked it" then in that train of thought is practically cannon amirite? 😅
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? no, but if i did it would be in the same cannon of the show (sg atlantis or sg universe).
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? no. i don't think so. sounds awful.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? not that i know of... 🤷♀️
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? nope. i think the closest to that would be a group trope challenge.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? sam/jack stargate sg1 is my opt forever and always.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? um how even dare you. the level of sheer audacit--losing touch. sigh. it's just so long is this thing. and so sad too. i don't have it in me to put my brain into that level of sadness for so long. also i feel grossly incapable of long form fics, they are just such a marathon. i am a one shot girl through and through. but I do hope i finish it! that's still the goal. 🤞
16. What are your writing strengths? funny. or funny-sexy.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? ... longform fics. or action. action sequences are HARD.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? i'd be so impressed with myself if i pulled that off.
19. First fandom you wrote for? stargate sg1 sam/jack.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written? that's hard. losing touch has chapters and parts that i really love. although Perfectly Explainable still makes me laugh. i might have smiled the most writing that one.
I am so very out of touch with tumblr fandom, sorry fam, so i'll tag @sharim28 and @formerdetective and literally anyone who finds this across their dash. thanks for thinking of me @starrybouquet!
