thanks @catb-fics for the tag xx this was fun
What's one story you've written, you're the most proud of?
definitely everything of my heart. it’s currently a 50k word wip that i haven’t posted yet. a stark peaky blinder au that is a sequel to a fic i posted a few years ago called the burning spider.
What's one story you wished you had expanded on, or spent more time writing?
i don’t actually have any fics where i feel this way about. because i think ive given each project the time they needed/deserved.
but if i ever had to expand/rewrite a fic i would love to re write my old crack fic — help!, that kind of set me on a different path with my writing that im happy about.
What's your favourite trope of all time?
hands down, friends to lovers. especially best friends to lovers. i think a good majority of my fics and ships have the trope somewhere there.
If you could be the main character in one of your stories, what one would it be?
hmm i don’t think i’d want to be in any of my stories. i have a bad habit of making my main characters rather miserable and i think ive had enough misery to last a lifetime.
Do you think you'll ever stop writing for the fandom you're currently most active in?
i actually don’t know. i can never say never but after 7 years of writing asoiaf fic, i can say im still not bored. maybe someday ill find a different hobby but not now. even if the fandom dies out. at this point its just me and yana reading my fics so nothing will change.
You've been given a book deal. What story are you publishing from your collection?
either we both coincide or watch me wary (unposted). both are about self discovery and since the main characters are rickon, lyanna and a bunch of OCs, it just feels the most mine.
Top writing tip for others?
this is a hard one because i do think there’s a lot of nuance when it comes to writing. but i recently (quite late unfortunately) discovered the true power of planning. it’s tedious but does wonders.
and like em said, writing for yourself is a big one. i think writing for yourself is what makes writing enjoyable and genuine. if you allow other people to affect your writing, it just sucks the fun out of it.
when i started writing for myself, it really changed my writing drastically for the better.
as for tags, i’m gonna tag a few of my lovelies:
now that @yanak324 is back on tumblr i can subject her to this.
@stompandhollar & @brewsterispunkk my beloved angels i can’t wait to see your answers.
