I was tagged by @theboyfrommakapu !
1) How many works do you have on AO3?
29, but I've orphaned 3 of them so 32 total.
2) What’s your total AO3 word count?
234,582, including those orphaned works.
3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
4. BBC Sherlock, the MCU (with subsets of Captain America, Daredevil, Iron Man, and Thor), Avatar: the Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Frankly if I reread Lessons I get the same feeling as I wanted to get when writing it (that really tight, oh no feeling in your stomach) and it was my first foray into fic writing after a 6 year hiatus. Truly some of my best.
5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
Yes! All of them except some anon comments, but I am so so so slow to do it. I read it the day you posted the comment, but emotionally it takes a while for me to be able to respond.
6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
Probably Lessons or any of the first 3 works in that series. Or In the Interim because Zaheer is so resigned to prison.
7) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
An Addendum. 10000% a feel good, happy Kyalin ending. My babes.
8) Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?
No. I joke about crossovers on the discord sometimes, but I have minimal interest in writing them.
9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yeah. Cartoonskank69 was very angry with me for writing (bad) smut, and as a consequence I had to make all of my comments approved on my fics.
10) Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes? But not super often. I had 2 fics with smut, one was Stucky and the other Mingzan. I am not that inclined to write more of it, and I wouldn't consider myself very good.
11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, and it was so blatant that someone commented on my fic to let me know, months after the fact. I personally thought it was ripped, like straight up phrases and pieces of dialogue, but I'm biased, but the 3rd party confirmation let me know my being disgruntled wasn't ridiculous. I said nothing because it's fic and I don't care enough, plus sometimes you read something and think you came up with it, but actually you didn't and it happens to the best of us. This is not including the times my fic has been published by bots on 3rd party websites which has also happened a couple times.
12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope! I was offered to once, but I was uninterested in doing so.
14) What’s your all-time favorite ship?
I freaking love James T. Kirk/Spock and Ming-Hua/Ghazan more than life itself. Mingzan is more recent, but I've loved Spirk going on 8 years now.
15) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
The second part of Prismatic lol. Or the second part of Recovery.
16) What are your writing strengths?
I really, really think my writing is easy to read and engaging without long, drawn out descriptions or confusing phrasing, both for fic and in more technical pieces.
17) What are your writing weaknesses?
I use the same 4 phrases and words to describe a set of feelings in every fic, and it can be really hard to stop myself sometimes.
18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I hate seeing a different script because I'm monolingual and can't read it, but if it's romanized in italics I think it's fun and can add a lot. I also love translations at the end too.
19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?
20) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Thirteen Things I've Missed About You because I am Mingzan trash and also I think the idea of this fic is so goddamn cute. Also I threw in my favorite Ming-Hua bit so it's even better.
Tagging: I don't have anyone to tag off the top of my head, but anyone who writes fics should do this for funnies.
