Wym it’s hard to decide. But I really love It Tastes of Magic and your Pero collection of stories. But your latest FishBen will soon be my favorite. ❤️

Oh, my friend!! You’re so sweet! I love all of my stories, but you’ve picked the ones I think I cherish the most. ‘It Tastes of Magic’ will always have a special place in my heart but Pero and the boys in ‘The Small Things of a Whole’ are carving their special spot too. Thanks for popping in and making me smile! Love you!❤️❤️

🔍🖋📚 for the writing meme I don't 🤔 think you've had these ones yet

Writer Craft Questions

I haven't answered any of these!

🔍 — what tiny writing detail do you fixate on the most?

For some fics, it's the rpf accuracy. Like catch me Instagram stalking trying to figure out what brand of tea someone drinks, like that matters at all. But most consistently what I fixate on is probably slang in the dialogue and making sure it feels in character and is accurate.

🖋️ — do you prefer descriptive richness or minimalist clarity?

Sorta depends on the fic, but usually I am descriptive richness.

📚 — which writer or media influenced your style the most?

I think my taste in writing--as in what I feel inspired to write--was very influenced by reading a lot of fantasy as a kid/teen. I assume that's where all of my love for angst comes from. But as far as like literally how I put words on a page, I'm not sure. I feel like my style for fic writing comes more from reading fic I've loved than published authors, but its still such an amalgamation of fics I've loved over the last fifteen years.

ask game: 8 and 11!

8. Contradictory or easy to understand, which one applies more to your Durge? Is their design and personality a conundrum, or did you try to keep it as clear cut as possible?

Strike's main thing is charisma and being on the surface way more chill than one would've expected, but also he needed to be terrifying when I say so, so his looks needed to be versatile enough to allow for that - I don't know how clear cut he is, tbh?

He's a conflicted guy who has a lot of thoughts and ideas that at first glance contradict eachother, so I do like the mishmash of a race that he is; way too tall for a drow, with a hair color that isn't natural to them and with tiefling or hellborn eyes. Golden scales that come from his draconic ancestry are something that I really like (originally they were there to make the model's jawline less rough lol) cause imo they give him this look of a crown, that, after they fade, looks a bit more like a skin disease post-tadpoling.

11. How much of yourself can be found in your Durge? Do you share the same personality, taste, a specific feature? Are they who you want to be or who you used to be? Are they entirely removed from you as a person?

I've had Strike as an oc for almost a decade now, so a little less than half of my life. I don't know what trait of his are mine that I just projected or what happened in reverse lmao, but I am writing all of my characters always in a way where they have at least one trait of mine that I can dial up to a hundred and make a character around.

Strike's definitely an extreme of a lot of my own feelings and traits, and I do keep realizing things about myself because I gave them to him first and then realized years later "wait a second why am I relating to him" (by this i mean stuff like his feelings about sex, or relationships, or in a very loose way his philosophy, not the murder stuff). I wouldn't say he is a self insert but he does talk the most like me out of any of my characters since he is one of the oldest!

💔?

Hey, thanks for asking!

💔 - Did any of your fics break your heart?

Not yet? I'm usually too much of a chicken to write something truly heartbreaking. Maybe I will tho, in the future.

I have however written stuff where I was basically crying the whole way through: one was Dew Drops - where Astarion feels the bittersweet pain and pleasure of being alive and free. And another thing was a headcanon, where I wrote about Astarion moving on after Tav's death (that whole topic of grief is very heavy for me).
