20 questions for fic writers

(tagged by @heliocharis - ty bestie, I love to procrastinate my chores hehe)

1. How many works do you have on AO3? 53 total. 29 of these are under my current pseud (honeymead). The rest largely date from before The Great Writer's Block (2014-2018).

2. What’s your total word count? 512,505. (Holy shit? I've never looked at this stat before.)

3. What fandoms do you write for? Right now, and for the last three years, The Locked Tomb. I don't see that changing any time soon. Previous fandoms include Doctor Who, Fringe, and The Mighty Boosh (RPF, and you can unfollow me now if you have personal problems with that; I will not apologise for art).

4. Top 5 fics by kudos:

(i carry it in] - Cam/Palamedes, HTN era. This was the first TLT fic I ever wrote, and was meant to be a one-shot. You all know how that turned out.

Funny Place To Wear Pearls - Doctor/Donna, Agatha Christie episode shenanigans. One of the first fics I ever posted to the Archive, written for a beautiful friend's birthday. <3

fortune's fool and fortune's darling - Cam/Palamedes, who are absolutely definitely 100% not married. (They are. Everyone knows it.)

For Better or For Worse - Doctor/Donna, post-S4 fix-it. This was, at the time, the most ambitious thing I'd ever undertaken. Little did I realise... (It is also the fic that made me swear never to post WIP's again.)

a map with your name for the capital - Cam/Palamedes, (in)famous for what later became known as Broken Elbow Canon. This was the second fic I wrote for this fandom, and where I went "oh no, this is not going to be a one-shot, is it?"

5. Do you respond to comments? Always. I'm so touched that people take the time to leave me little love-notes, and I have met so many wonderful friends via my comments section.

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I haven't written it yet, it's sitting in my WIP's looking at me right now. (I don't think a single one of my 53 uploaded fics ends unhappily lmao.)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Tie between death, i think, is no parenthesis and the gods will offer you chances. Both are Cam/Palamedes, and both are part of the same series, just different POVs of their happily ever after.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Not on them, per se, but I have seen vaguepost hate about them in the comments of other people's fic and on tumblr dot com. To which I say: get a life, lads.

9. Do you write smut? Yes, and I do so unapologetically. More often I write sweet and tender fluff, because my worst-kept secret is that I'm a romantic marshmallow.

10. Do you write crossovers? I've done one (Dollhouse/Doctor Who, which I never uploaded outside LJ) and am working on another right now (The Locked Tomb/[redacted for personal reasons]).

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? I've had a couple of fics plagiarised, in a way that made it so very obvious where the thief got their ideas, and all I will ever say about that is: get good. I don't think I've ever had one wholesale lifted and passed off as someone else's work though.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated? Not that I know of, but it would be cool as shit if someone who speaks better Greek than me would do the scene AU.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? I got as far as planning one once. (I do co-write many very silly ideas in my DMs with my besties, does this count?)

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship? Camilla Hect/Palamedes Sextus. I am so sorry to all the people who knew me in my Doctor/Donna days; I know we all thought we'd found the depths of my insanity back then, but it turns out that we had not even scratched the surface.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will? This is hard. There's a long list of half-started fics from past fandoms that I would One Day™ like to get back to. Several of them have scrivener files outlining why I'd like to finish them (this was a writing exercise to try and overcome The Great Writer's Block, 2014-2018). The least likely of them is probably my Dollhouse fix-it, because I don't think I could stand going back to rewatch a Joss Whedon show now.

16. What are your writing strengths? Worldbuilding and imagery. Also characterisation, if my commenters are to be believed. Thank you to every single person who has ever told me my characterisation is good, I love you deeply.

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Estimating my final word count. (Do not even LOOK at me, JH.) Getting trapped in my own penchant for research and overthinking every word I'm putting onto the page. Worrying about perfection in a medium that can never be that.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language? I love doing this, and you should all be grateful that I don't speak better Greek, I'd be making so many rude jokes.

19. First fandom you wrote for? The X-Files, in yahoo groups, ca. 1995.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written? death, i think, is no parenthesis would have to be Thee Favourite: it was everything I ever wanted to give them, I spent a year researching and planning it and another year writing it, and I am prouder of finishing it than I was of finishing my PhD. Honourable mentions go to (i carry it in], the fic which obliterated my writer's block, and My Name Is David Ruffin And These Are The Temptations, a Cam/Palamedes modern AU into which I poured every stupid and beautiful thing I love about music, friendship, and falling for your best friend.

I would like to tag @direlesbians, who is my newest fandom friend, and @time-converges, who is my oldest. 🥰

hello! does hundred line have a flowchart the way zero escape does? or would I have to restart it every time? I have been looking on the steam page and can't find this information anywhere. thank you and have a wonderful day!

hi!! it does, but the flowchart in hundred line is very streamlined; you can teleport to any day you've cleared on both flowcharts (route 0 has its own flowchart) at any time, and on days that have a decision, you can also teleport to 'right before.'

also: the game counts how many routes you've cleared (you can view cleared route names/cgs in the gallery) and has an indicator for which choices you've made so you don't have to worry about mentally keeping track.

if you'd like to see the full flowchart, someone on twt recreated it in guide form here (gdrive link with four versions: spoiler/no spoiler + color-coded/no color). you won't see its shape initially, but it will unfold as you play and make more choices!

Hi ling!!! I love your art and I saw you said one can leave requests!! The past few days I was thinking about Korn braiding long haired Pats hair!! So I thought I just put this idea out here!! Even if you don’t wanna draw it I like to hear your thoughts about it!! In my mind Korn as the ponytail boy knows lots of braids and he loves playing with his bros hair!! He probably tried to braid/played with all of his friends + boyfriend hair at some point! His highlight was a drunk Pran happily allowing Korn to do it!

Ending this ask with: I LOVE YOUR ART SO MUCH!!! The way you colour is amazing and your style is just wonderful!! 💜

Awww you are so sweet! Yes i love this idea so much 😭

(sorry the colors are a bit wonky on this haha)

My favorite hc for korn's family is that he has a few kid siblings because one of his parents remarried, so he's much older than them and is the super cool big bro. So of course he'd know how to braid hair 😁😁😁 and he gets on with Pa like a house on fire

I hope you like it :)

What are ur top fix recs right now? 💖💖

hi anon, thank you for the ask!!🥰

you can find my top 30 completed landoscar fic recs here🫶

and, as a bonus, here's a few ongoing fics that I drop everything for whenever they update:

☆ listed alphabetically; all with landoscar as the main ship bc I'm insane abt them lmaoo. hope you don't mind, anon!!

Blood Orange by speedfreak [E]

space fighter pilots au // holy shit the world-building in this fic is insaneee (/pos)!! it's like Pacific Rim but with fighter pilots in space. also the dialogue is just so beautiful and seeped in meaning, it's amazing. also also, no spoilers, but there's a part that gave me literal goosebumps. if/when I write a thriller fic, that part alone will influence how I write certain scenes, I'm being so serious.

Call It What You Want To by dearbongjae [M]

fake dating au // the pacing in this fic is pure perfection oml. I need landoscar to kiss and live happily ever after rn immediately but also I'm reveling in the drama and angst of it all bc it's so ridiculously well done (srsly, I'm normally wary of reading plots like this until the story is finished bc I'm a big baby, but this fic is so, so worth following along as it updates, trust).

i'll miss you in the morning by @hoeforanakin (party4upartofyouknew) [E] 🔒

band au // first, the smut in this fic is so fkn hot, holy shit djdbdjdn. the sexual tension between Oscar and Lando is just so masterfully crafted, and ofc the follow-through is *chef's kiss*. more than that tho, I adore this fic bc it's so raw, real, and human. the characters are hurting and flawed, but in a way that feels realistic and relatable; not overdone angst just for the sake of angst (no shade to anyone who likes reading/writing that, it's just not my cup of tea!!). also the (presumed by me) foreshadowing in this fic is delicious, my writer brain is in love.

Look up Sunshine by peerless_peaches [G]

Superman au // Oscar as Superman and Lando as his Lois Lane, need I say more???? probably not but I'm going to anyway bc this fic is spectacular oh my gawddd!! landoscar's dynamic is so so sooo cute, their interactions literally have me cheesin at my screen djbdjd. also the characterizations are literal perfection, both Oscar and Lando feel so fleshed-out and real, with their own individual motives and struggles. also the humor is top-notch, I've cackled multiple times while reading this lol.

Zero-Braincell Syndrome by @hisokrata (sokrata) [E] 🔒

mixed-media omegaverse in a hospital setting // the world-building is positively amazing, the humor is so wonderfully fun, and the sociopolitical parallels are portrayed so incredibly well!! Oscar is the absolute sweetest, Lando deserves the entire world, and together they are just so freakin cute *cries*. also the mixed-media aspect is done so effectively, adding precious insight into character backstories, motives, and thought processes. also the background relationships are cute, messy, or both, and it's incredibly entertaining (/pos)

“No one ever let me write 11 sex scenes in a single fic again” ???? uhm…. hate to be the bearer of bad news but I think it might be required from now on bc that’s literally the hottest fic I think I’ve ever read

then that is the burden I must bear, I suppose;; heavy is the head that wears the crown, as they say😔😔🙏🙏💔💔

kdbsjdhdj no fr tho, thank you so much omgg!!! your support on this fic literally helped keep me going, I need you to know🥹🩷 every time I stared at my 8473837th use of the word 'c*ck' and cried into my hands in despair, I would read your lovely comment and find the strength to persevere💪
