20 questions for fanfic writers
thx for the tag @horrorosier ! <3
1. how many works do you have on ao3?
including my anon stuff, 14
2. what is your total word count?
currently 1,36,233 (wow that's wild)
3. what fandoms do you write for?
currently just marauders, but i'm shifting away once my wips are all uploaded and my current fest stuff is done. i have an anon original work fic as well
(that was surprising, i did not expect through it all and rock bottom to be up there, also impressed that real life is #2 since it's my newest)
5. do you respond to comments?
yes always!! if i miss a comment it's completely by accident lol
6. what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i've never really written an angsty ending. box under the bed was kinda bittersweet but it wasn't really plot-heavy to begin with. but i am, as we speak, working on a dead dove fic that will probably have a pretty angsty ending
7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
...all of them? i think? cake master is my fluffiest fic i think
8. do you get hate on fics?
a little, sometimes. not often, though.
i do indeed. my plot-heavy long fics usually have at least a little smut, but nearly all my anon fics lean into the slightly trashy smut vibe
10. do you write crossovers?
nah, i'm not really into crossovers. who knows though, that might change
11. have you ever had a fic stolen?
i don't think so? not to my knowledge at least
12. have you ever had your fic translated?
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
no but i have beta read several fics! i love beta reading
14. what's your all-time favorite ship?
...myself and creative productivity
15. what's the wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
oh i have several but if i had to pick one: my gilderat fic... i love it dearly but i don't think I'll have the time. if anyone's interested in taking it from me though, it's a canon compliant peter/gilderoy fic that starts after the war and before the main books,,, dm me, I'll send u what I've written if u wanna gift the completed version to me lol
16. what are your writing strengths?
dialogue!! i think I'm pretty good at writing dialogue and casual conversation especially. i tend to forget to write anything else.
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
thoughts, metaphors, poetic narrative stuff... i admire it so much in my mutuals' fics but it just doesn't come naturally to me at all
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?
i do this in #fic rec! i feel a little awkward about it sometimes, like do i need to be doing this? is it really necessary? but i have that nifty little html hover-to-translate thing that's really fun. i know at least one or two of my readers speak the language so they're getting the humour twice over and that makes me happy
19. first fandom you wrote for?
does it count if i didn't post it? the arcana. i can't remember if i ever wrote ff before that. i want to start writing for the arcana again, honestly. I'm not sure how active the fandom is now but eh who cares. i miss asrian
20. favorite fic you've ever written?
among my completed fics,, lowkey it's favours for a friend! mainly because i still get comments from people telling me it made them laugh and that always makes me happy. among my posted wips: it's very difficult to write and i don't update it often, but i'm proud of operation secret admirer. i love untethered as well (even though I'm currently writing chapter 3 and it's so fucking hard but hey, rosekiller is in the picture now! i miss remus' narrative pls take me back i struggle with writing sirius)
