Can we get an insight on any previous works?? Doesnโt have to be finished one shots Iโm just curious on how you get from a prompt to formulating a storyline . I love how you write for Schneider, especially the car scene snippet you did last year with him and platonic, itโs genuinely one of my favourite pieces youโve written I hope you find the time to write for him again <3
Thank you so so much! You're so very kind! I'll sure see what I can do to answer this one! I think that anon is talking about this work in their ask. Correct me if I'm wrong though!
Honestly, I write whatever brings me happiness or inspiration. That's the most simple way I can put it! If it doesn't make me happy then I certainly won't be writing it. I just fly by the seat of my pants and hope it works out well lol!
But I'm sure you're looking for a more detailed answer. I'll start by saying, I have a long list of headcanons for my Ich Will AU that are just catalogued away in my mind that I often tear from when I choose to write. Whether that be for a request or just for something I came up with on my own. I've built this world that sits locked away within my head and within my notes. So now, every time I sit down to write I have a good idea of my "characters" and the world that surrounds them all. It makes it easier to have a setting, an idea for plot, or a guideline for dialogue.
Sometimes I use songs to help push my ideas along? Sometimes there's just a certain song that works so well with what I'm writing. Or one that gives me an idea in general. I'm such a huge music person that it almost runs my life.
But I read a lotttt. Mostly other fanfics, but I do dabble in published books that I can physically hold as well. Reading helps with ideas, inspiration, and helps you learn new things about writing itself. Whether that be new words, phrases, or ways to say things you've been wanting to write yourself. Realistically, I should be taking writing a bit more seriously. Reading educational books on how to improve my prose and express myself better within my works. But I'm lazy. Downright lazy.
And therein lies my downfall. I'm fucking lazy. I get distracted. I do other things. So writing often falls by the wayside even when I feel like I'm bursting with ideas or motivation. So it ends up being forever until I write again, or I just let all of my requests sit there and rot. For that I must say I'm sorry. I wish that I could be more motivated all of the time, but it's difficult. Especially when life shows other opportunities or struggles for me.
Either way, I hope that this was insightful or helpful to you! This was one of the more thoughtful questions I've received and it was such a treat to answer. I don't often get people interested in what goes on inside my mind to create the writings I do. Even if I just write fanfiction. So thank you anon, you put a smile on my face and made me think hard.
