4. Which of your fics this year was most successful?
i guess this one could mean either in the reception it got, or how well i feel like i executed it?
but the answer for both is a controlled burn ♥ when i started writing it i never could’ve thought i’d end up with a complete 100k story, and i definitely didn’t expect the insanely kind reception it’s gotten and how many friends i’ve ended up making through it.
sometimes i just go look at that last chapter completely gobsmacked at the lovely comments and the fact that it exists at all 😂
8. Which fic this year was most fun to write?
the research-heavy chapters of acb and safs are real peaks -- all the road trip stuff, and white sands, and even this latest chapter of safs in the owl cafe.
but for consistently pure + most fun i think i’ll have to go with my little kim one shot they do go see the dead chimp, which i started purely because i wanted to use that title.
everything in it surprised me -- the vibe i ended up with, the direction kim’s thoughts took. i also wrote the whole thing listening to chinatown by bleachers w bruce springsteen on loop because @agentdanascully was nice enough to send it to me and tell me it reminded her of the white sands trip, so that was really damn awesome.
