Thank you @renairinwrites for tagging me :> this should be fun!
1. How many works do you have on AO3/Tumblr?
On Ao3 (which I'll be referring to here onwards) I have 16 posted works, including wips and oneshots. 11 of them are DC and the remaining are past fandoms.
2. What's your total AO3/Tumblr word count?
277,061 words in total. Pretty cool!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently I write for DC, specifically Batman. I used to write for Genshin and Naruto but I've moved past them now. Maybe one day I'll go back and update them.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Hmm let's see, as of the time I'm writing this it's..... Sins (let me in) [706 kudos, we all saw it coming], Like Real People Do [421 kudos, also saw it coming], Would you still love me (when I'm no longer young and beautiful?) [152 kudos, actually surprising], Because of you, They already know how to swim [133 kudos, my singular Naruto fic lol] and The Water is Fine [121 kudos, Genshin!]
What we have learnt from this is that smut sells. Also I have not really posted a lot of stuff so the numbers are understandable lol.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try my best to! Unfortunately I am also really bad at remembering to do so. If I've yet to respond to your comment on my stories I'm sorry I am a forgetful kit.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Definitely Baby, Join me in Death no doubt. I wrote that dark fic just to see if I could and it ended so badly lmao I think I baited people who didn't look at the tags.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Happiness is subjective and a happy ending depends on what you consider to be one. I usually tend to lean towards angst works (it isn't reflected much I feel, but people who know me know my tendencies) but I do try to have happy endings as much as I can (because my friends make me do it). I guess It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas counts? That or Like Real People Do.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
So far I have not! I have gotten bot comments before, and I guess some on tumblr but not anything directed towards my writing. Of course people could be doing it where I can't see but to my knowledge no not really. And I'm glad!
*Checks my most kudoed work* What does it look like?
10. Do you write crossovers?
There was a period in my life where I plotted a lot of crossover stories of my favorite characters dropping into new worlds and impacting them in significant ways. When I was still in my Genshin phase, I also used to be a massive BSD fan and I spent upwards of a few weeks plotting out the entirety of the released Genshin Lore (up until Sumeru) to include Dazai in it (He was my favourite I'm basic sue me). There was a whole thing with his nullification and stuff lmao but it never got written coz stuff happened and I lost my spark for writing for a while and I hadn't picked the habit back up until long after my interest in BSD started to wane. I haven't really written any crossover works yet.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to the extent of my knowledge!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Again, no idea! I've not been asked yet, so no.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope! It sounds fun in concept but I fear I might get too peeved if the visions don't match up to a T.
On second thought does Gartic Phone count? Coz then there's Untitled Gartic Phone that I wrote with my friends as a game.
14. What's your favorite all-time ship?
I am a filthy filthy multishipper dude. As long as my favorite is involved I'll like almost any ship. I don't care as long as they are getting kissed. I guess my track record points to Superbat, but I also really enjoy Twobats and Lanternbat. For other fandoms it would be Sasunaru (the founding fathers I fear) and Kavetham (honestly I'm a huge fan of 4ggravate poly).
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
My Naruto fic purely because of the extensive amount of lore worldbuilding I did in prep for the story.
16. Are there recurring themes you've noticed in your writing?
Almost all my fics have some element or mention of Devotion/Worship and/or some religious symbolism. It's not restricted to Christian symbolisms and takes some from Hindu and Greek Mythology as well. Idk what that says about me but I find it fun to incorporate those elements.
There's also a recurring occurance of food scenes. The characters in my stories almost always end up eating something while in the scene, which is very funny because I am horrible at describing said food scenes XD
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I feel like I repeat words and phrases a lot, and that I write too many run on sentences. I also feel like I struggle a little with mundane scene writing. I'm also really bad at maintaining schedules, with is horrible when I want to update but do not have anything to update with.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I'm bilingual myself and the nuances of languages are extremely cool to me. I don't have the brain for it but I get very invested when dealing with multilingual characters or scenes where a character speaks in a different language. So far I've not needed to do a whole lot of different language dialogue, but the last time I wanted to implement a separate language in my writing (Kryptonese for The Thing) I ended up going down a huge rabbit hole and suffered lmao. So yeah! I think it would be cool, I just haven't really had the opportunity yet.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
It was Naruto, and I wrote my first fanfic on Wattpad. I don't like talking about my Wattpad era lol.
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
Hard question I can't really pick one I like em all! But in the heart of my hearts I know it is probably You know that you had it once (and you know you want it back) which I wrote for Genshin back in the day. It was fun exploring themes of body dysphoria through the eyes of a tortured Neuvilette lol. I still look at this fic with fondness, especiallycoz it ended so badly. That, or Sins. Sins was fun.
And those are my answers! Thanks again Ren!
