17. Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
I work out of order/write where inspiration strikes first, but force myself to work chronologically when I fill in the gaps! You know, lest I lose track of where my foreshadowing is at or what background characters are up to…
It’s why I love writing snapshot-style fics: chronological, but not restrained by the need for transitions.
4. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Care to share one of them?
I’ll do better, I’ll share all of the ideas/half-written WIPs I have right now. I have too many & I want to talk about them but I don’t rly have a place to do so except here
This answer is gonna get long, sorry in advance. On the upside, two of these will get posted for sure, so you get a preview of sorts??
Canon divergence fic where Jason doesn’t stick around to be trained by Talia/All-Caste/basically just gets his mind restored and goes straight back to Gotham, angsts a lot. A character study, more than anything. (this one would have an open ending too)
Merfolk AU oneshot from that time I drew a thing for jaydickweek instead of write
Fake Dating/Roommate AU for JayDick that’d also be a casefic but do I know what I’m doing plot-wise? No I do not. Probably won’t be finished.
& the stuff that will be posted for sure, once I’m happy with it:
sequel to Play Your Cards Right, the fic wherein people find out Jason and Dick are dating, as in for-real dating, what the eff you guys?? Since when??
super secret mystery fic that’s my grand master plan and shall not be revealed jk, it’s a Talon!Jason AU, from Dick’s POV.Everything else starts out the same, but Jason came back the Talon-way instead of the Pit-way. Think UTRH but instead of going after mobsters/drug dealers, Jay goes after Court of Owls members after he escapes their clutches. Possibly JayDick or pre-slash at the very least? I am biased and not afraid to admit it
Idk for sure yet on the later plot of that last one, I just fell in love with the idea & it got away from me……….. my outline places the plan at 12 to 20 chapters (depending on if I want to incorporate the Forever Evil ‘Dick ‘dies’ and joins Spyral’ storyline or not) but I only have 1.5 written (I’ll upload the prologue + chapter one once i finish chapter two)
Omg 5 is such a good question, because I honestly have no idea!! I guess if the fic contains a lot of dialogue and random pieces of scientific trivia then it would be mine lol. Like, “Oh, look, Tim’s trying to analyze these small bits of metal particulates, this must be Stevie’s fic” xD Other than that, I’m at a complete loss. Can anyone tell me if I have any writing habits?
I am most interested in writing romantic relationships, especially the friends to lovers trope in characters I have decided need and deserve love!! I love writing that first moment, that first realization that they love someone. It’s all about the dawn of romance for me. I’m a complete sap.
