stacy! for the fic ask may i request u answer 1, 3, 4, 5 & 9? no pressure though! love u! 💘💘💘
1. Favorite fic you wrote this year.
omg that’s so hard! I loved so many, but I think my favorite favorite one was my LOTR au I did for kurodai week, Deep Roots are not Reached by the Frost. I love LOTR and the fic ended up being one of the most romantic ones I’ve ever written, it was very special. Searching for that one, I also passed I Love You…Nice to Meet You, my kurodai soulmate fic, and I had to include it too, ha ha ha.
3. Favorite line/scene you wrote this year./ 4. Total number of words you wrote this year.
Both answered here!
5. Most popular fic this year
Hands down it was A Double Dose of Trouble, my modern supernatural bokurodai fic. I wish I knew why people really connected with it, if it was the genre/au or the ship, or Bokuto as a cute werewolf, I don’t know, ha ha ha. I only started it as a one shot I thought of one day, I had no idea it would be everyone’s favorite, ha ha. I’m very thankful it received so much positive feedback though because I really enjoyed writing it!
9. Longest wip of the year
Oh man, does that include ones that are completed? I think Across Time and Space was the longest, over 73K
Thank you for asking!! *hugs* Here’s the list if anyone else wanted to ask something or reblog it for themselves!
hi kim!! may i ask for a director's commentary on ur fic 70%, 100% interesting please? (also i've just noticed but all ur fics have such great titles how do u do it OTL) 💕💪✨
@gulabijamuns Andy!!!! *tackle hugs* Hello!!!!! <3
Okay, so 70% water, 100% interesting is a story born from the word plus ship meme.
A context: as a general rule, I try to challenge myself when writing a story for these prompts, like, i try to think outside the box and take the word to a direction that one doesn’t immediately associate to the given word. Basically, i try to play with it. The thing is, water is quite a universal and so obvious (?), like you know what I mean??? (also full disclosure: it didn’t necessarily helped that I was in a bit of a funk, during those times, but anyway) there are so many directions I could take it, but I keep thinking that its too obvious and expected. So instead of having a solid idea, a solid ‘plot’ that I want to do, I just got overwhelmed, and I wasn’t completely satisfied with what I’m trying to come up with. So i left it for a while, tried to look for prompts that could inspire me, to no avail. So the next best thing that to do is mindlessly scroll through tumblr.
Which proved to be the right decision since this post reappeared in my dash that exact time (its a goldmine, really. a true heaven sent). And, its so perfect for Kuroo. Like. It screams Kuroo. It’s something that the hot nerdy dork would say to pick an unsuspecting person up (read: Daichi).
So from there, I built my ‘plot’ around the premise of bad pick-up line. And since I was also in an IwaKita phase during that time, I was like, why not include more characters in college au kind of setting. A need for bartender Daichi, and Kuroo delivering this line.
In the first draft, there’s actually more of Kuroo and Oikawa talking in the beginning, because the real background of this is Kuroo’s been actually eyeing Daichi for a while, but is too chicken to approach him. And Oikawa, being very observant, well, noticed and he was like egging Kuroo to make a move. But since Kuroo is denying that he’s got the hots for the bartender, it pushed Oikawa to play a game, which, full disclosure again: he did rig. :D
I actually didn’t finish this piece in one sitting, and i only got a third of it written initially. I’m glad the time I took away from writing it, gave me the rest of 30% part, and it’s actually my next favorite part after the pick-up line. And yeah, after i got that part written down, I just let it flow (see what I did there hahaha) and it went to a direction I’m satisfied with so I kept it, and yeah.
Oh my, Andy, thank you! But yours are great!!! I love the originality and the poetic feel about it, very much like your writing! <3
Although, I honestly don’t know??? I mean, half of my works are just named after song lyrics, if not the actual song titles. some play on quotes, and memes, because I do get inspired by those. In general, I just play with words, the plot and try to connect them, in the hopes that it actually make sense??? And funny you say this, because I’m not really satisfied with the title of this particular story because for me, it’s really obvious? but its the catchiest one I had, that i can come up with at that moment, and i was just like, oh well, whatever, i just want to post this so i can go to sleep, but I gradually warmed up to it. I just… yeah. it makes me happy that you like my titles hahaha <3
Anyway, I’m sorry if I rambled hahaha, but thank you so much for sending one in! :D <3<3<3
Ask me for a director’s commentary :)

hi stacy! all your fics are so wonderful & creative (all the AUs? space opera? shakespeare?? JANE AUSTEN?? im LIVING✨) so instead of talking about a specific fic may i request a director's cut for all the AUs that u have something to say about!! 🥰❤️💗💕
Ahh I love you, you’re so sweet!! Oh boy, I have a lot of AU’s, lol so I guess I’ll talk about a couple at least!
Well I have you to thank for A Midsummer Night’s Nightmare! I was so excited to receive Shakespeare AU as a request and it took me a while to decide which one to adapt as an AU. I narrowed it down to Midsummer and Taming of the Shrew, which I thought would be hilarious with Daichi as Hinata’s older brother and Kuroo the guy Tsukishima seeks out to keep Daichi preoccupied, lol. But something about Midsummer and the romance, chaos, and whimsy just really spoke to me. I think my favorite part of writing it was adapting Lysander’s romantic and poetic lines into Kageyama speak:
“Lucid? What the hell does that mean? Hinata, my Love, get your ass back here!” He barked as he followed the trail left by his friends.
I think another AU that comes to mind is Across Time and Space, my kurodai time travel au. Usually when I get an idea for a story I start writing it right away, but for some reason I waited on that one. It might’ve been because I was still writing As the Crow Sails at the time, but I kept dwelling on the story and thinking about the different parts of the plot until I had a beginning with Kuroo traveling back in time, the middle shift in the story where the assassin shows up, and the ending, so I just had to fill in the middle bits. There aren’t many of my stories that played with my emotions like that one did, and I really enjoyed the development between Kuroo and Daichi in that one.
I better just leave it at that, before I talk about every AU I’ve ever written, ha ha ha. Let me know if you’d like me to talk about a specific one. Thank you so much for asking!! Request anything from me anytime ;)
;w; happy birthday falen!!! i hope u have a most wonderful time & enjoy lots!!! 💞🌠🎉🌟
