I’m doing another read of oh darkness because it’s missing Staci Pratt hours 24/7 in this house. We were robbed of more Staci content but you have fed the masses like an absolute hero

come get y'all's juice!! 🤲

🥺👌 god i miss pratt AND writing

[outranks]

One of many fics you wrote that took my breath away is although circumstances may appear bleak!! I’ve reread it so many times and every time I love your descriptions of Rook’s anger. When he’s begging Joseph to let Rook just hate him? It always guts me in the best possible way

thank you 😭❤️❤️ that fic was the longest thing i’d ever written at the time and i’m still so proud of it (and ahah a little worried that it wasn’t very good, but oh well) so this means a lot ❤️❤️❤️

4, 19, 29!

thank you for asking!!

4) What is your favourite genre to write for?

it’s a tie between fluff and smut (and depends entirely on my mood 👀)

19) Are there any stories that you’ve written that you’d really love to do a sequel to?

yes!! my amnesia fic with Joseph is one I put a lot of thought into past what was actually written anf I’d love to revisit it one day. also my soulmate fic with John.... but I am actually writing a sequel to that rn 👀

29) Do you have a story that you feel doesn’t get as much love as you’d like?

already answered, but actually now that I’m thinking about it, I do with my amnesia fic got more love 😩😭

What’s your favorite trope to write in fic?

enemies to friends to lovers / mutual pining

when two idiots who are supposed to be on opposite sides start getting close and they both catch feelings but are too afraid to say anything in case it’s one sided👌👌👌

A16 and A19 for Josh!

I had to think about the first one for a bit ahhhh

Does your OC have to go through their own trials to learn a lesson, or do they listen and learn from observation and lecture? oh god, Josh listens to advice, understand the advice, sees the value in taking the advice given, and then ignores it completely. "Don't do the thing? Because it's a terrible idea?? Yeah, I agree!" and then he does it. He just. Does the thing. And worse, he usually learns nothing because it never turns out as bad as it could. the only time he learns a lesson is when he does something stupid and someone else gets hurt. Which doesn't happen that often.

What instantly irritates them or puts them in a bad mood?Not getting enough sleep, mostly. If he's woken up early, or kept from falling asleep he gets pretty cranky. Also, the constant pressure of expectations not. great. Josh tries really hard to be what people need, but when they start to demand it or expect it without asking, he gets frustrated and angry.

Do you have any FC5 rarepairs?

You know, I’m not sure what counts as a rarepair?? I like f!dep/Sharky, either dep/Faith, Hudson/Faith, and I’m writing Jacob/f!dep/Faith which I love now. Jacob/Grace?? I’m kinda blanking on rarepairs, sorry!!

4 and 9 for the fanfic ask!

4. total number of words you wrote this yearWell, according to ao3 I've posted 113961 words of fc5 fic this year, but total would be uh. probably closer to 200k?? Counting unfished works and rewrites and and abandoned stuff. Which is more than the total I've written for any other fandom combined omfg9. longest wip of the yearThe John/Rook fake-dating fic that's killing me. I don't post wips unless the story is finished so I don't really... have anything else? But that's currently sitting at around 12k and 1/4 finished, so akdsl I just want it to enddd
