Rules: Copy/paste and bold your fic preferences.

Slow burn or love at first sight (I have a pretty strong dislike for love at first sight since the concept implies too many misconceptions about how falling in love works and the lack of realism kills me.)

Fake dating or secret dating (I don’t usually read either, but I do enjoy the angst of a secret dating scenario where the characters work through the emotions before coming out - or alternatively fake secret dating wherein the characters thought they were being obvious but the people around them don’t realise and are offended about the lack of announcement.)

Enemies to lovers or best friends to lovers

Oh no there’s only one bed or long distance correspondence (I adore both of these for different reason and really can’t choose one or the other.)

Hurt/comfort or amnesia (I don’t actually indulge in hurt/comfort that often but I have yet to enjoy an amnesia fic and I don’t dislike h/c soooo)

Fantasy AU or modern AU  (Option C, Medieval AU please. I’m much more likely to enjoy something that Medieval, specifically in terms of royal court or fairy tale esk situations. If I have to choose between the two though, Modern AU is what I’d go with since it offers me my other options such as gang AUs which I have a soft spot for.)

Mutual pining or domestic bliss (Again, I enjoy both for different reasons. If they’re pining, they better get together at the end as well or I’ll scream.)

Smut or fluff (This is actually very dependent on the ship for me. I adore fluff for all of my ships, without a doubt, but depending on the ship I do lean more towards smut, or more specifically a flirtier disposition...)

Canon-compliant/missing scenes or fix-it (Missing scenes and C-Compliant is fun but honestly, I’m out here trying to fix what canon did to my fave characters most of the time.)

Alternate universe or future fic (Canon Divergence is my bread and butter, but I don’t mind a good AU, especially if it’s a C-Divergent AU or Canon AU)

One shot or multichapter  (I enjoy fluffy one shots but I often set my filters to nothing under 10k because I specifically enjoy something a little longer and fleshed out, so multichapter or long one-shots are always my preference.)

Kid fic or road trip fic (Neither. I don’t enjoy either, almost ever. I can count on one hand the amount of kid fics I’ve enjoyed, barring my obsession with WangXian atm but the kids in that don’t really count since they’re canon imo.)

Reincarnation or character death (I’m not huge on Reincarnation either, tbh, but they’re some that I’ve enjoyed. Character death is a hard no for me 9.8/10 times. I can’t handle it.)

Arranged marriage or accidental marriage (Accidental marriage is fun as well, but there’s something fun about arranged marriage, watching as my favourite characters learn to love each other in a completely different order. I don’t read either very often though.)

High school romance or middle aged romance  (Since I’m still only 19, I feel it’s quite obvious why I would lean towards hs romance...I don’t usually take notice of either though)

Time travel or isolated together (Time travel is a personal favourite always, but isolated together is fun as well.)

Neighbors or roommates (I don’t read either, really, but I think I’ve read more roommates fics overall?)

Sci fi AU or magic AU (I don’t really read either but I’m more fantasy and magic inclined than Sci-fi)

Body swap or genderbend (Neither. I personally don’t enjoy either of these types.)

Angst or crack (with happy ending) (Both can be fun when done right. I do need that happy ending with my Angst though).

Apocalyptic or mundane (I enjoy it when things are a little more mundane and boring most of the time.)

Tagging: Watch me try and figure out who to tag since you tagged most of them >.> @kitty-bandit @ncisduckie @schweetheart @bakuraryxu @ravenclaw-lair

Ask me something!

7. What colour brings you peace?

Hmm, I’ve never really thought about it. My favourite colour is red but I think the “colour” that gives me the most “peace” is black because it’s what I see whenever I’m resting my eyes and it allows me to just forget everything else for a moment just be.

Finally my birthday. Guess who’s finally 19?

Rule: Tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better

Top 3 ships:

This is hard, umm probably MaiNaru, Wangxian (my latest obsession) and Tykillen. Those are the ones I’m drawn to most often atm but they chop and change and i love too many to properly choose...

Lipstick or chapstick?

Both. I love wearing lipstick but I often wear chapstick/lip balm underneath it to hydrate my lips, especially in winter.

Last song listened to:

Since I’m currently listening to music, I’ll go with what’s playing rn which is Golden Throne by The Tech Theives.

Last film watched?

Uh, since I don’t really watch movies, I think the closest thing I have is my most recent re-watch of John Mulaney on netflix?

Currently reading?

Too many things, namely my own work for the sake of editing. I did pick up a real book for the first time in ages recently called Above by Isla Morley but I think my tastes have changed more than I realised because I’m really not vibing with it >.>

AO3 Stat Meme

I saw @kitty-bandit post this and she said anyone can steal, so I’m gonna, and then because I’m curious, I’m gonna tag people~ I’m using this as sort of a “End of 2019″ Stat. Maybe I’ll start doing something like this each year, that could be fun as a form of reflection right?

Tagging: @ncisduckie @dannyikigay @chrisemrysfics @bakuraryxu @chibi-usapyon @candy-crackpot @arthur-of-the-pendragons @schweetheart

Rules: Go to your AO3 works page, expand all the filters, and answer the following questions!

☆           ☆           ☆           ☆           ☆          ☆           ☆           ☆           ☆           ☆

What are your first and second most common work ratings?

General with 30 fics and Teen with 29.

What’s your most common archive warning? Least common?

No Warnings Apply is most common. Violence and Underage are tagged at 1 for my least common.

Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?

I’m not really sure? I like to explore and mess around with word play, style and ideas, so in that way I suppose. But i’m nothing crazy, I don’t think.

How many stories have you made in each pairing category?

41 M/M, 18 F/M, 7 Gen, 3 Multi, 1 Other.

What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers?

Ghost Hunt with 17, D.Gray-Man with 14, MCU with 12 and then Merlin and One Piece ties with 5 each.

Are you still active in any of them? Do you tend to migrate a lot?

I do migrate a lot. I’m active to some degree in all of my fandoms in terms of writing. I never really ‘leave’ a fandom, I just deviate for a while and then stop back in.

What are your top 4 relationship tags?

Naru/Mai from Ghost hunt (2 different versions, but i’m counting them as one) with 13, Tyki Mikk/Allen Walker with 12, Merthur with 5, then MoriHaruhi, LawLu, FrostIron and WinterIron all tie with 4.

Does this match how you feel about the characters or are you puzzled?

This seems pretty accurate. Based on what I enjoy writing most/the fandoms I met the most people in this year, this is pretty accurate. I wish some of the numbers were more expansive, but oh well.

What are your top 2 most used additional tags? Your bottom 2?

Most used:

Fluff, Not Canon Compliant

Bottom two:

Angst, Canon Compliant

What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into an fic?

I... could do it I guess? It would have to start canon compliant and then diverge. But then I guess it’s canon divergence and I wouldn’t use either of those tags... hmmm... the angst is easy enough to add though.

How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?

Currently I have 3 WIPs running on AO3. I plan to finish two of those without a doubt but the third one is from a fandom I’ve long left behind. I haven’t worked on it in years and honestly? I’ve long lost the motivation for it. I might actually take it down for the new year..
