Fandoms (that I write for): Hetalia, Discworld, Harry Potter
Tropes: power couples, “star-crossed lovers”, angst, hurt/comfort, irony/humour, history, (classical) music
Number of fics: 47 on my main account on AO3, 9+3+3 on the pseuds; subtracting the translations (3): currently 59 in total (but some are drabbles). There are a few more on my fanfiktion.de account that only exist in German, though.
Fic I spent the most time on: “Wanted: Escort for a Wedding Party”, I assume... Didn’t track the time I spent on my fics tbh.
Fic I spent the least time on: Not sure, but it must be one of my drabbles. They’re usually quick things that I jot down in a few minutes’ time.
Longest fic: “Wanted: Escort for a Wedding Party” (38,402 words)
Shortest fic: I believe one of the “Draco Drabbles”; they’re all 100 words each.
Most hits: According to AO3, my Hetalia short story collection “Awesome Heroes, Just Like You and Me” (2940 hits)
Most kudos: my Drarry fic “Don’t Keep On Pretending” (159)
Most comment threads: “Awesome Heroes, Just Like You and Me” (27)
Most bookmarks: “Don’t Keep On Pretending” (24)
Total word count: 164776 (on AO3)
Favourite fic I wrote: Probably “Wanted: Escort for a Wedding Party” because it fulfilled my own craving for an AU set at Lake Geneva and for one more longer SpAus story (among only few others)
Fic I want to rewrite/expand on: My latest one, “Golden Apple”. I’ve written it for one challenge with a time limit of one hour and another with the specification “500-1000 words”, but I feel like I’ve got a lot more to say about Austria and Turkey...
Share a bit of a WIP or a story idea you’re planning on:
These are the first three paragraphs of a Hetalia WIP called “Lingering Memories” that I started about one year ago. It’s basically GDR-Gilbert and USSR-Ivan reminiscing about ye olden days (aka the 18th century):
Gilbert knew he was stepping from one nail in his coffin to the next as he walked out of the Kremlin with Ivan. They had witnessed a rather lengthy and somewhat tense meeting between their bosses. Then Ivan had invited him to what he had called a “family gathering”. The term usually meant that there would be several other Soviet satellite states and far too much vodka.
Gilbert disagreed with the whole family thing, but he did agree with a bit of alcohol. Emphasis on a bit. If his previous experiences with this kind of gathering were anything to go by—and they were plenty—he would be hammered by the end of the evening, and he had already dutifully watered the potted plants in the conference room he had just escaped.
Russians rarely ever seemed to drink except during official meetings and family reunions, but official meetings and family reunions were all he ever came for ... except for that one time when Ivan had invited him just to show him the city, but that had been more than two hundred years ago. That meant Gilbert’s more recent visits to Moscow usually ended with him getting hammered.
