Thank you for tagging me @pennywaltzy, it’s been a long time since I did this one, lets see how it’s changed over the years.

Fandoms: so many, seriously, so many. Witcher, Bond, Sherlock, Labyrinth, Teen Wolf, Harry Potter, Kingsman, and so many more, seriously lots.
Most popular one shot:
By kudos? Meeting the Bakers - Harry/Eggsy - Harry meets his new mother- & sister-in-law for lunch with Eggsy & Tony - sequel to Well Matched
By hits? Meeting the Bakers - Harry/Eggsy - Harry meets his new mother- & sister-in-law for lunch with Eggsy & Tony - sequel to Well Matched
Most popular multi chapter:
By kudos? Well Matched - Harry/Eggsy - Harry's body is insisting he find a mate or die. Eggsy has been given 14 days to find an alpha or lose his son. Interesting things happen when they meet. Is it purely chance that they happen to meet at an Alpha-Omega mate finding event?
By hits? Seeking - John/Sherlock - John's a wolf-shifter who has just recently returned to London, Sherlock is the gifted human who just happens to need a flatmate, what happens when the two of them come in contact with each other.
Actual worst part of writing: when the characters won’t shut up until you go to write what they are saying and doing, but they are suddenly silent. Seriously, I sat down to write the thing as you wanted, why are you now giving me the cold shoulder?
How you choose your titles: most the time I don’t they just come with the story, sometimes though I bounce ideas off one of my lovely writing partners until something clicks into place.
Do you outline: it all depends on the story. For some, yes, they are needed to keep all the characters and plot lines orderly. For others, nope, I write as I go, because the characters just aren’t shutting up but not being so annoying I can’t keep up with them.
Ideas I probably won’t get around to but wouldn’t it be nice: so many of them it’s hard to list, a lot of them have to do with found family, and various types of relationship dynamics, whether including sex or not.
Callouts @me: make time to write you dinglecat, seriously, life is always going to be a mess, might as well fight against it and get some words in at least each day.
Best writing traits: I always finish my stories, my timelines make sense, character growth (!!! they start off with some stupidity going on, they realize why, they try to fix it).
Spicy tangential opinion: I dislike how purity culture is on the rise again, it often is accompanied by a drop in content making, content sharing, and commenting. More often than not, it starts the downwards spiral of the fandom or topic it is about. Supposedly it is to protect people, whether children or someone else, but rarely does it. Instead it makes the creators responsible for the readers choices. That’s not how it is supposed to work. A person wants to take offense over a lack of tags because the creator didn’t use any, including the “Choses Not To Tag” and it leads to misrepresenting their creation, I get it. But just attacking because something is “not pure” or “problematic” is an issue and a half for me.
