I’m not late shhh

You write so much, so quickly! I'm curious how often you write/how much you write. Have you always been such a fast writer or was that something you developed?

it took time to develop honestly! i had the stereotypical voracious reading style as a kid/teenager that was similar intensity in writing output, then hit a big slump during my college years where i barely wrote at all. i'd been wanting to write regularly again for a couple years afterward, but just wasn't sure where to start, so i started writing a sentence minimum a day, which i found really helped build writing back up as a steady habit by making it easy to just sit down and start without the pressure to commit to any certain number of words. getting into the habit of posting weekly also just naturally gives me external motivation to keep up writing regularly so i can keep sharing with everyone on a regular schedule! (and am a touch obsessive about following schedules once I settle in one, lol, so that helps)

fifth chapter of the kakairu mission desk fic is up!! featuring kakashi showing affection in normal ways and not at all like a feral emotionally stunted animal, iruka slowly realizing he’s accidentally attracted a possibly rabid stray dog to his door, and everybody doing their best to avoid developing critical thinking skills <3 hope y’all enjoy!! :)

Hello! As a recent fan of yours, I have been busy reading all your KakaIru fics! I just caught up with “paper pushing” (and will leave a comment here shortly), but I wanted to ask a couple of questions (if that’s okay with you) to get to know you better!

-what are your favorite KakaIru tropes?

-which cannon facts your like the most?

-do you like ABO? Would you write ABO?

-what AUs you would like to explore in the future?

- do you work on multiple WIPs at a time?

thank you so much!!! i appreciate the questions, always open to answering!

-what are your favorite KakaIru tropes?

ooohhh there's so many to choose from! in no particular order, a few that come to mind are kakashi in general acting like a stray/feral animal the second he encounters Feelings for the first time in his life, kakashi and iruka co-parenting naruto, iruka's echolocation/fuuinjutsu skills, and kakashi being just a lil overprotective/possessive 😌

-which cannon facts your like the most?

i love kakashi in general behaving in insane ways for absolutely no reason other than commitment to the bit. i never get tired of watching the bell test episodes because why is he psychologically tormenting a bunch of twelve year olds like that 😭😭 also love iruka being a hothead while being very soft-hearted under his temper, all of his scenes with naruto are always so good <3

-do you like ABO? Would you write ABO?

i haven't read much on the topic, i'm pretty neutral about it!

-what AUs you would like to explore in the future?

lots!! i've always got a few fic ideas bouncing around my head, but i'll probably write another modern au fic at some point in the near-ish future, and have been interested in exploring a missing nin-focused AU 👀

- do you work on multiple WIPs at a time?

very rarely! i tend to write one fic at a time and write linearly, it's pretty rare for me to write scenes out of order as well (i just find it a lot simpler to keep track of things that way... while also having a gigantic outline for future scene planning, lol)
