what’s your favourite genre to write?: Angst, yearning, all of that stuff that comes before the moment when the two characters ultimately admit their feelings/decide to be together. I like the journey, not the destination.
do you pull inspiration from real-life, or do you pull things from other books/fanfiction you’ve read?: I think experiences do help us understand how characters react in many situations but most of what I pull is from what I read or see in movies, tropes and archetypes that I gravitate to, and I often think over how to subvert those things. Scenarios are my favorite instances to craft and this is where I get creative.
do you tend to write one-shots, short stories, or longer things?: One-shots or multi-shots are easier for posting but in my experience, I’ve attempted many multi-chapter fics that I haven’t gotten around to posting. I hope to do so soon as I’m working on one right now.
do you prefer to write description or dialogue?: As far as the writing goes, description. Dialogue tends to be the most rewarding when you get it right, though.
favourite fic/book of all time?: I love several and rotate through re-reading sometimes, they’re all in the favorites section of my ff.net account. My favorite book is probably Pride and Prejudice or The Great Gatsby, Phantom is up there too.
favourite trope?: Sun and moon or beauty and the beast type pairings, villains with redemption arcs, hateships that don’t overdose on unhealthy.
are you the kind of person to work on more than one WIP?: Oh yeah. I try not to but I end up abandoning ideas and coming back to them. It always ends up happening.
how long have you been writing for?: Back since I was six years old, I started writing stories about my toys on our family computer (this would be 2004.) Since then I have written on and off for years. I didn’t get around to fanfiction until I was probably in my early teens, though.
do you tend to write more during the morning, afternoon, or evening?: It all depends on the atmosphere and what situation is conductive to writing. The stars have to align. I think all of these times have been restful at various intervals but I’d gravitate to the morning, when it comes to being the most productive.
do you prefer to post and update your WIP chapter by chapter, or do you prefer to wait until your WIP is 100% finished before sharing it?: My strategy depends on what kind of WIP it is. If it’s a multi-shot like Contretemps I definitely post based on chapter-by-chapter, but when the idea is more prolonged and has a solid plot as its spine, I need to be at least 1-2 chapters ahead of myself so I can go back and fix inconsistencies before posting. I never finish something 100% and then post it, as I find that less rewarding and validating.
