Fanfiction ask meme: 1, 3, 9, 10, 11, 13
Hi! Thank you so much for the asks. My brain really needed this right now <3
3) Describe the differences between your first fanfic and your most recent fanfic.
I honestly have not written very much. I think about writing ALL the time, but its been hard for me to follow through because school, shows/rehearsals, mental illness, etc. I got my work cut out for me if I want to write three novelizations.The first fic I wrote ever was for Divinity Original Sin 2, and it’s laughable. I think I’ve always been fairly decent at descriptions, but I had no idea how to format dialogue, most of it is copy and pasted dialogue with dialogue tags on every line. No depth. Like it’s BAD. After a couple years, wow, I now know how to format, I’ve written more original and thought out things, I spend more time too much time thinking about character development. There’s a lot I’m still learning, but if you saw the first thing I wrote compared to the one chapter I’ve posted on Ao3 or the things sitting in Word/Google Docs right now, it’s a pretty drastic change.
9) What do your fic bookmarks say about you?
I don’t have any modern AU’s bookmarked haha. I have nothing against them, but not my cup of tea. I love romance, so I love fics that expand on the romance in the games I like. I also love long fics because I’m selfish and I like consolidated stories. WIPS and one shots are lovely too :). I mostly live in the fantasy land but there was one Red Dead Redemption Fic that I was interested in reading, but I never played the game so it was hard for me to understand everything.
10) What’s a theme that keeps coming up in your writing?
Sassy Mages hahaha. I’m trying to distinguish my characters more, but that’s what I’m drawn to. My protagonist for DAO, Sol, was not supposed to be as sassy as she is. I wanted her to be more of a “coming into her own,” kinda character but she’s smart and has a sharp tongue sometimes. Also, divinity/the divine keeps coming up too. In Vestige (DAO) there’s not too much of that, but the whole story line of Divinity (Dos2) is around divinity. Also, in Emblem, there’s a lot dealing with goddess too.
13) Name three favorite characters to write.
Ezra/Ara: Ara Hawke is my DA2 Protagonist and Ezra is the same character, but she’s the Dos2 incarnation. They’re just very easy to write because I know exactly who they are, and they are very similar to how I am.
Aside from that, I don’t really know because I haven’t had a chance to write from many other character’s perspectives. I’m excited to write Fane though I’m still deciding on how I want to portray him (I’m imagining him similar to Sebastian from Stardew but with more bite. I can see a bit of Howl in him too maybe). I’m also super excited to write Alistair and Dimitri because they’re sweet hearts. They make me feel warm <3 Also, I’m super excited to write the Dos2 gang because they’re disasters, and assholes, and their interactions are going to be so chaotic.
