20 Questions for Writers✍🏻
because @karasuno910 said so, i guess :)
1. How many works do you have on AO3/Tumblr?
14, somehow.
2. What's your total AO3/Tumblr word count?
408,867
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter. Most of my published works are in the Golden Trio era, but I strongly prefer Marauder's era/adjacent stuff so I've pivoted that way lately.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
this is sort of cheating because it's the series, but:
First Year Transfiguration is the first in The Miseducation of the Boy Who Lived series, by far the most popular at 1,784 kudos right now
Second Year Charms, then Third Year Care of Creatures, then Fourth Year Arithmancy, then, curiously, seasons change, mad things rearrange.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Every one, yup!
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't generally write angsty endings, but I be the lion that guards the trife is pretty rough imo
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
idk that any of them have a happy ending, tbh! most of them are pretty open ended, so I am not sure I would call them happy... yet?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I did, yes! There are some pretty ridiculous threads on First Year Transfiguration where idk if the person was just a troll or genuinely didn't understand the concept of an AU or what but they kept commenting that I wasn't writing certain characters the way they were in canon, which, like... yeah?
9. Do you write smut?
Yesssss
10. Do you write crossovers?
No. I write AUs, but have never blended characters in a crossover
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of???
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No :(
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I mean, technically I am right now but idk that it really counts. I think what I'm doing is beta-ing but they think it's more like co-writing so I got that sweet co-writing credit lol
14. What's your favorite all-time ship?
Wolfstar, hands down. I don't know what it is about them that's so compelling to me, and I read them in some really, really AU works (like so AU its OC), but it's just so comforting to me.
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
All of them lol. No, idk, hopefully the creative block unlocks soon and I can get back to work but for now... yeah it's looking bleak.
16. Are there recurring themes you've noticed in your writing?
Abandonment, misunderstandings in a sort of miscommunication way, love leading to questionable morality
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
finishing it, usually. also making the edits/cuts I know i need to, aka killing my darlings
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Yeah, I like when it's used strategically.
The thing I HATE is when a character speaks English with an accent and the writer spells it phonetically. It's so hard to understand for me!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I mean I don't know that I could tell you for sure. I first encountered fandom on Quizilla because I am ancient, and I didn't really know what it was. I wrote some quizzes back then but I genuinely cannot recall what fandom they would have been in.
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
Finished, Reggie Black Presents The Carnival, unfinished (aka abandoned), Walk with the Werewolves. There is something so satisfying about using Remus for my leftist rants, honestly.
