14. What is a title you think you did really well on? What makes you think it was a good fit for the fic?

Thanks for the ask Ink! Shoot me an ask and I'll try to answer them as best I can

Honestly, I think Yrs Forever. Since it was Hamilton's last letter to Laurens and it's the last book in the trilogy. Take the last letter as a hint as to how the trilogy ends for those who are on the third book in The Helpless Trilogy

3, 8, 9?

Thanks for the ask!!! They’re always open!

3: What is your most popular fanfic? 

The first book of my Lams fic trilogy: Helpless

8: Archive of Our Own, Fanfiction.net, Wattpad, Tumblr,  etc. Which platform do you prefer? 

I mostly use Wattpad, but sometimes I’ll use A03 and Tumblr for my oneshot requests 

9: What are your favorite fanfics? 

Suite Madame Blue by @peblezq on A03, Our Little Secret by @vive-la-revolution on Wattpad The Song of Synthesia by LGamer on Wattpad, Battlefield by BenPlattlover on Wattpad His Voice by @sunnyrea on A03 and Who Did That To You by @sunnyrea on A03

"Hardest to Love" by the Weekend

Set after Laurens finds out about Hamilton's marriage. Hamilton still tries to convince Laurens how much he loves and cares for him despite how much he loves Betsey as well. But Laurens doesn't know what to believe and keeps pushing Hamilton away, despite Hamilton's assurances and despite his own love he feels for Hamilton. Laurens lets Hamilton go.

4: Which fic/series (that is completed) took you the longest to write? Why did it take so long?

For fic wise, Helpless. It's 45 chapters long and 293 pages long and a total of 150,359 words. Some of it was because of writer's block, lacking motivation or inspiration, or there times where I didn't want to write but I still did it anyways and because life would get in the way.

Series wise, The Helpless Trilogy. I have never made a trilogy before and I usually try to stick to the plot/summary of the fics so that's also part of the reason it takes me so long.

5: Who are your 3 tumblr writing idols? What do you appreciate about their writing?

Can one of them not be tumblr? If so, Stephen KIng. I read a lot of his books (Yes, I even read IT). They're just so descriptive and his descriptive writing and word choice and style help increase mine and inspires mine and improves my vocabulary.

Tumblr wise, @peblezq The word choices and the language. Whenever I write historical oneshots for request, I always have a struggle at how the people in the 18th century would speak. So, just re-reading Suite Madame Blue mutiple times  helps me with it. @quillsink like how do you write super long chapters? They’re way longer than mine! (I’m just now starting We Are Everywhere, And We Are Not a Sin cause I feel kind of left out not having to read it yet) 

6: What’s your favorite method to get past writer’s block? 

EXCERSIE! EXERCSIE! EXCERSIE! Excersie has so many benefits than just weight loss. It releases something called endorphins which are the chemicals in your brain that help release stress and pain and basically make you happy. Excerise can fun, it can make you feel stronger and more confident in yourself. It can help not only physically, but also mentally. It releases stress and anger in a healthy way and can give you inspriation for more ideas and boosts your energy level and increases your productivity and just overall makes you feel powerful and good about yourself. That’s my absolute favorite way to break writer’s block. It doesn’t have to be weight lifting (which is what I do). It can be as simple as going for a short brisk walk, or on a simple bike ride, or a 30 minute dance break.

10, 13, 3

Thanks for the ask!!! Shoot me an ask from the writers ask games and I'll try to answer as much as I can! (Only if you want too!)

10: What's the weiredest/coolest research you've done for a fic?

James Hamilton Jr. Hamilton's older brother. I was just reasearching when he was born and all that stuff but his portrait honestly scared the hell out of me lmao.

13: If someone was just finding your blog/writing, which 3 fics would they read in your masterlist in order to find out if they like your style or not. Why for each?

Right now, I don't have a masterlist for my fics. But I'd recommend starting with my first lams book Helpless which you can find all about on my pinned post since that is the first book in the trilogy. Then the sequel and the last one if you want to continue them.

3: Which fic/series are you most proudest of?

Fic wise, Helpless. As, I have never committed to making a full length multi-chapter book before nor have I ever made it to 45 chapters. I would stop at five chapters long and then forget about it as another idea pops up.

Series wise, my trilogy. As I have never written a trilogy in my whole life and even though there have been some up and downs with it, I'm still proud of myself of how far it has come.

do you take constructive criticisim?

Of course I do! Any constructive feedback would really help writers improve their works and writing.
