20 Questions for Writers
Thank you to @otpcutie for the tag!
1. How many works do you have on AO3/Tumblr?
77 on AO3.
2. What's your total AO3/Tumblr word count?
349,454 words since Feb 2024!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Right now only Harry Potter, though I did write a very short Heartstopper fluff fic and would write Pokemon fic, possibly.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Romance in Reverse (Ronarry accidental marriage)
Thigh-High Hijinks (Billarry muggle AU smut)
Between These Walls (Snarry depressed Harry romance)
Seeing Other People (Wolfstar Marauder's era romance)
The Risk of Falling (Draco-centric Drarry, coming out in 4th year)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yeah, usually with a thoughtful lil thank you! I really appreciate the community aspect of fandom and want to connect with people!
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I am in general a Happily Ever After kinda person, but, hm... oh yea, The Star Watcher and His Star (Sirius/Firenze) has a pretty angsty ending.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
So many happy endings!! I can't help a good getting-together moment though, so I think the story where I wrote Sirius Lives and he experiences his first venture outside of 12 Grimmauld after the war is touching: Stunted Dogwood and Dearest Honeysuckle (Sirius/Harry)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
No, I've been lucky so far (and my fics aren't even locked to AO3 user only). The closest was when, on a beautiful gift fic for me (The Ice Prince written by ThreeSidedOrchid, Snarry fic) as a reply to my gushing comment, some rando spouted some stupid hate about Snape being a Bottom 😂The writer and I ignored and deleted it.
9. Do you write smut?
Of cooourse. Most of my medium-length fics must have something smutty in it...! Love that payoff.
10. Do you write crossovers?
So far just a Pokemon/HP ficlet. I'd love to write more Pokemon in the magical world...
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of...! Darn I should figure out how to check for that.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not yet, although someone inquired about translating Thigh-High Hijinks.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really (unless, did I forget??) but I've collabed and done art for skotini's One Hundred Times More Dangerous Drarry fic and a mood board for skotini's Sunkissed Scorbus fic.
14. What's your favorite all-time ship?
Snupin! Remus/Severus 💛 I am only finally writing a long fic for them now (it's a WIP atm!) for the Wolf & Prince Fest 2025 coming up soon! (which I mod, as well as modding The Snupin Server on Discord :3) Though I'm quite the multi-shipper, mostly queer pairings.
15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Hmmn, I literally work on 1 or 2 fics at a time and finish them, so I technically have zero WIPs. There are some short sequels in my plot bunny bin which I still hope I can do, but am not confident I have time... like a cute sequel for Inverted Marble (Harry/Statue Harry)
16. Are there recurring themes you've noticed in your writing?
Hmn, I guess understanding each other? Almost everything I write has fluffiness/sweetness and romance in it. I'm starting to be afraid all my medium fics have the same Meet/Fall-in-love/Misunderstanding/Resolution pattern 😂 Trying to change that for my current Snupin WIP.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Consistency with details and physical body positioning. I'm getting better at not having five billion smiles and hands in my fics, though.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I am afraid of French, but it's so useful sometimes in HP fic, so I've had people help me with minor French dialogue. Also, I speak Japanese, so I tried to write a fic that integrated some Japanese words, with Japanese Sirius/British Remus in Summer Sweating in a One-Room Flat. It was a fun experiment, and I'm happy with the results!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
(squints into the distance) Would Neopets be considered a fandom...? I wrote and finished a series of stories for the Neopian Times but I think the chapters are lost to history now. Oh! And some Gundam Wing fanfiction I never published, it wasn't even slash, just Zechs waking up with amensia, hahaha.
20. Favorite fic you've ever written?
So hard to choose from all my babies!! Because it was one of my first medium-length fics, I still am so proud of Between These Walls (Snarry) Agh I looked through my fics and feel meh about them aaaall help! I suppose my recent 2k word Snupin angsty fic is also something I am proud of: When Wolfbane Wilts (Snupin) Thanks if you read this whole thing! Tagging friends if you wanna try it and haven't already 💛 @moonriverfox @autistic-draco-malfoy @trueliarose @skywatcherrose @diandrastrikesback @schmem14 @freezingwintah @puuvillaa @safeplacesnupin @no-arc @in-sects @elvira-kamgut If I missed tagging you, do it anyway!
