hellooooo seabiscuit, how is the writing going? what are you currently grappling with and what are you trying in order to make it work?

It’s going really well!! Thanks for the interesting question. I’m grappling with making my writing more concise and confident without making it seem stilted or taking its voice. I’m trying to read more across genres and it’s working :)

love your work very deeply. do you feel like your writing style for your fic differs from your original work? do you have any fics or fic adjacent things you’ve read that have inspired the way you think abt + craft your work? your voice is so distinct and genuinely refreshing. xoxo an admirer

Thank you this is really kind! Honestly no. In the latter half of my fanfic career I really feel like I’ve just been writing original fiction with characters inserted into it if that makes sense. Which is part of the reason I decided to just make the dive and write something original.

This is going to get some boos from the audience but I always have really admired Stephen King for his ability to make his writing straightforward and compelling. Sarah Waters, Jeffrey Eugenides, and Barbara Kingsolver are other big influences. I also take a lot from movies. The Cohen Brothers in particular have been really influential on me, Rob Reiner, PT Anderson, and lately Jane Shoenbrun.

Anyway, thanks for caring enough to ask! Writing fanfic can sometimes feel like a small potatoes endeavor and talking about being influenced by legit artists a bit silly. But I appreciate that people like my work enough to wonder what influences it :)

some shit like this is always happening

sorry just checking because my life is being ruined by prosecutors.... it's like when i'm reading fanfic i like to think that the author is a communist otherwise it turns me off the story

if it helps the readers of the seabiscuit cinematic universe i can confirm that i am a utopian lefty socialist who thinks jails shouldn’t exist

[seabiscuits-us]

You mean to tell me you’re NOT the country’s leading expert on prosecutors?!

imagine i was LOL. No but this is funny because a coworker and I were just talking yesterday about the Krasner DA that got barred from practicing in federal court and how upset we both were that we were ideologically siding with a prosecutor. And then we both breathed a sigh of relief that we don’t practice criminal law

[seabiscuits-us]

thoughts on prosecutors?

idk why this ask is killing me. I try not to think about them if I can help it at all
