4, 8, 25, 31 for the end of year fic ask game :)
Thank you, kit! <3 Happy New Year!!
4. What piece of writing are you most proud of?
God, that’s honestly impossible to answer, because I’m proud of all my pieces of writing. The old ones, the new ones, the short ones, the long ones, doesn’t matter for which fandom or what rating they are. I think about everything I write (sentence/word/punctuation, whatever) long and hard, because whatever I write matters to me at that moment and touches me and I wanna do that credit, I wanna transport what I feel and think so the reader maybe gets a hint of that as well, or maybe the intensity behind it.
When I publish something it means I cared for it all the way to the end (though not end of the story arc sadly sometimes, just end of the chapter or whatever XD). And I’m proud that I managed to condense my thoughts and feelings into that piece of writing. That just goes for all of them.
8. What mood has been most prevalent in your works this year? Ex. angst, hurt/comfort, fluff, etc.
Definitely angst, but really, it always has been. Is there a mood like angsty horniness? Cause that’s it really.
25. What were your top three most common tags this year?
Lemme look at them to confirm my suspicion.
Yep, indeed: Gay Sex, Angst (this year I had: Light Angst, Existential Angst and just Angst, look at the insane variety!) and Rough Sex. *salutes*
31. What's a recurring theme that showed up in your works?
Hmhm, damn, the word “theme” is very broad. So, maybe I’ll just answer in a broad fashion: I think a recurring theme in my works is a lack of communication and what it results in.
It always bothers me in media (movies, fics whatever) when characters could easily resolve their issues by just saying a word and they don’t, but it feels very contrived and unrealistic and was clearly just done to push the drama or the plot of whatever. Pretty lame honestly.
Also, I had a thorough look at different theories of communication, because of my field of study and my work, and at my own communication failures and those of friends. And all of that brought me to the conclusion that it’s interesting and essential to write about issues in communication. So I do. XD
