D for any of your fics, F and T? love your writing!!
Thank you. Your art inspires me!!
D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?
I think about Jon in Monster of Magnus Manor and listen to Stray Italian Greyhound and sob. That song emotionally assassinates me whenever my shuffle spits it out. I mean?? I just settled into the glass half empty / Made myself at home / I just stopped believing in happy endings / But you had to come along didn’t you / Tear down the doors, throw open windows / Oh if you knew just what a fool you have made me. That’s it!!! That’s the bitch!!!!
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
I’m gonna cheat a little and instead of a dialogue scene, I’m gonna pick a piece of character introspection because that shit’s my jam, specifically this Jon POV scene from my the loneliness never left me,
It had been … God, almost one month since they’d arrived at Daisy’s cabin, hadn’t it? One month since Martin decided that he’d weed the garden if Jon dusted the attic, switching when Jon had found the first of the spiders. One month of toiling over shopping list after shopping list before making their weekly twenty-minute trek to the mart, only to forget something anyway. One month since Martin had taken his hand, even though their arms were full of groceries. Kissed his cheek when Jon had burnt their pasta sauce. Reached for him under the bed covers, holding him as Jon struggled to breathe through his sobbing, until they both drifted away again.
Aahhhh, I love how this turned how so much, and I definitely think this sort of thing is where my writing is strongest; characters doing mundane things but god they’re just so in love about it! I could write characters being soft and domestic all day (also the little detail of Jon started dusting the attic but found spiders and freaked out so Martin did it instead djgdfg THEM!!)
T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?
I don’t think I have anything I’m super dead set against against (outside of like sexual kinks and stuff), like I’ll try anything once. I generally don’t prefer things like A/B/O and mpreg, but even then, I remember this one Sh*rlock fic that was honestly really compelling, like it dove into the politics of what a world like that would really mean for someone who was an omega and the oppression they’d face and how they struggled through that system. Absolutely fascinating, and great world building to boot, one of the only 300k fics I stuck with til the end.
