I'm so sorry for taking literal ages to get to this ask, but thank you so much for sending it in!
3. And because I know we're all egocentric, have you ever made yourself laugh out loud or cry with a fic you wrote?
Honestly, neither. All of my fics/WIPs have all been pretty serious, I've never gotten to a point where I've come up with something light to make me laugh or readers laugh. However, I've definitely made myself sad thinking of ideas for fics! The OC's that I get sad the most about are all of them just kidding, no, actually it'd have to be Atsuki Koyanagi, Harlow Maye, Kim-001, and Grace Hennessy; I put these characters through a lot and it makes me sad.
7. What is your favourite sentence/paragraph? Read it to us! (Asker can choose what fic)
I already answered this here, but I scoured my WIPs that I kept and found a conversation that I loved writing, it's a bit long, so I apologize in advance and I'll put it below a 'keep reading'! It's a conversation between President Snow and Harlow Maye from my Hunger Games WIP.
"You wished to see me, President Snow?"
"Ah yes, come in Miss Maye. I offer you my condolences on the death of your youngest sister. She had a much different approach to the Games than you did and I was quite hoping she would win."
"Yes, I'm sure you did. Because then you would have both myself and her under your grasp, with half - if not all of the Capitol - clawing and scrambling to get their chance to spend the night with the new Golden Siblings of Panem."
"Now Miss Maye-"
"What? What are you going to do? Kill me? You can't. I'm loved by the Capitol and the Districts, you kill me and you'll have riots in the Districts and your own backyard. You couldn't afford that. Hurt me or kill me and District 10 rebels; they'll cut off all trains going in the Capitol filled with livestock for you and your precious Capitolians. And if that happens, you lose a significant amount of your food source and risk riots from your own people. Bomb or attack District 10 and the same outcome happens. You can't take that risk. Kill my family? You've already seen to that, so that's no longer an option. Sell me to the wealthy of the Capitol? The cruelest, wealthiest, and most powerful of the Capitol? You've already done that and still, here I am. You can't touch me. You can't do anything to me."
"But you still have people you care about! Friends you love! Gloss, Cashmere, Finnick Odair, Johanna Mason, Amos - all of them Victors, all people you care about. I can harm them; I can hurt them."
"They are Victors, three of them are beloved by the Capitol nearly as much as I am. You can't touch-"
"All Victors were once tributes, Miss Maye. And the 75th Hunger Games are just a few months away. Who's to say what surprises the Third Quarter Quell will have in store?
"You may think you have the upper hand here, Miss Maye, but you are out of your league. This is my area of expertise, you are merely a pawn. A piece in a game much bigger than you could ever be. Do not underestimate me. Do not overestimate your sway in things. You are nothing."
13. Do you make playlists for when you write? If so, share!
I actually don't! When I'm writing I like to have what I'm writing for playing in the background so that I have something I can go back to and look at for reference during a specific scene. I'll also play it on repeat which usually kills my muse for that OC quickly, unfortunately. I'll also listen to the soundtrack of the show or movie while I'm editing as well, just so that I can really get into the feel of things. Like for I Am Your Shield, I Am Your Sword, I edited what I have for NaNo and listened to the soundtrack while I was editing to get into a 'Halo mindset.' So unfortunately nothing exciting!
Thank you again for the ask! I really do appreciate it!
