Tagged by @nug-juggler! Thank you!
Name: bubble-bones, or bubbles!
Fandoms: on this blog, dragon age (mostly Inquisition, I write sometimes for Origins and 2 but I haven’t shared any from those games)
Where you post: mostly Ao3, but sometimes I post one-shots here too.
Most Popular One-shot: that would be Wisps and Wants which is a Solavellan nsfw trio describing Solas and Ariwyn’s first time together. I kinda find it hard to limit myself to strict one-shots haha
Most Popular Multichap: the only one I have published haha, The Hunt. It easily overshadows my other fics because I’ve been writing it for 2 years, and it has 222,754 words and 57 chapters as of right now... And I’m only like halfway through
Favorite story you’ve written so far: I think I have to say The Hunt again, because it’s been my project for the past two years. Its earlier chapters don’t quite match my current writing style anymore, and it’s a little bumpy thanks to a lack of planning early on, but it’s my favourite until I start more long fics I can get invested in!
Fic you were nervous to post: All of my nsfw ones lmao. I’m still relatively new to writing smut so it was a little scary to post them at first, but as I write more I’m starting to learn more!
How do you choose your titles: With much difficulty... I used to name my fics before I started writing, mostly based on a scene or dialogue or concept I have for one section. Nowadays, I have an idea and can’t wait to write it so I’ll give my WIPs temporary names that SUCK until I have to post and think of a new name lmao. E.g. Wisps and Wants was named “Fade dream 1/2/3″ and A Business Trip was named “Fade dream sequel 1/2/3.” One of my WIPs is literally called “uh oh papa” so... there’s that.
Do you outline: yes! I try to, otherwise I end up writing senseless nonsense that then just becomes a block I can’t write through. I’m holding back off starting my new long fic I want to write until I’ve ironed out all the details. This is the current stack of information I wrote for myself when planning The Hunt:
So yes I try desperately to plan! If I don’t have a plan I end up rambling like I did a bit in the early chapters of The Hunt. I kinda knew where I wanted to go but I didn’t fully until I forced myself to sit down and write it.
Complete: Uhh... Do one-shots count? Lol. I suppose my trios of fics which are little short stories on their own count, but I don’t even have many of those.
In progress: Yikes; The Hunt, When in Orlais, “uh oh papa” (yes i’m aware this name is terrible but you will suffer with me), and an as of right now unnamed new long fic.
Prompts?: I find it difficult to find prompts I can stick with for long, because I usually get bored part way through. Sometimes though I can try to stick it out and write a reasonably long thing based on a prompt, but I suppose I have to be really inspired by the prompt and more often than not, I’m not :(
Upcoming work you’re most excited about: probably the new long-fic I’m planning that I can’t share info about yet because I haven’t planned it out lmao. But it’s Solavellan so that always makes me excited.
Worlds I would love to write for in the future: da4, obviously, though it’s going to hurt my little solavellan heart. With cyberpunk coming out soon, maybe that? I’ve written for Mass Effect in the past too but never really been content with anything I made, so maybe more Mass Effect in the future. I want to write more Origins and 2 as well! I need to finish what’s available of Baldur’s Gate 3 too because Astarion...
Tagging: @pikapeppa and anyone else who thinks this looks fun! <3
