Erm, @lethesomething tagged me, so here I am.
1) How many works in progress to do you currently have in progress?
Hahahaha, funny you should ask.
I have the ongoing Bakugou and Kiri fics, which people probably think I’ve abandoned, but are more like stewing on the back burner. I started and stalled, in that order, a request for Himuro, a fluff fic for Todoroki, and a BnHA desert fantasy fic whose characters are a secret. I also keep attempting to finish a Tamaki fluff one shot but that’s not happening. And just the other day I started another thing on my phone...
2) Do you/would you write fan fiction?
I never thought I would, but here I am.
3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?
I like both. I do read a lot of ebooks because they’re cheaper, but a lot of my favourites I own in paper.
4) When did you start writing?
Hmm, when I was about eight? That’s when I definitely remember. Funnily enough, I never used to write prose until I started writing fanfics. I wrote lots of poetry until I was fifteen or so, and I used to do that for competitions and stuff. I started writing fanfiction around December last year.
5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?
Well, poor @lethesomething usually takes the brunt of my frustration, and my beleaguered family often helps me with plot without actually knowing what said plot is. I know some amazing people.
6) Where is your favourite place to write?
At home, but also in quiet cafes. Also, I recently discovered, a museum’s front desk?
7) Favourite childhood book?
This is a very difficult question! Lots of stuff by Enid Blyton - Willow Farm, Faraway Tree, the Family stories etc. Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I also really loved classics like 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and the Swiss Family Robinson.
8) Writing for fun or writing for publication?
It’s very rare for me to not have fun writing, so there’s really no difference for me.
9) Pen and paper or computer?
I do like writing by hand, but my handwriting isn’t great and it hurts after a while. So computer it is.
10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?
11) What inspires you to write?
If you mean writing as a process, I like the challenge of finding the right words and interesting phrases to describe things. I love reading reader reactions to works, I think it’s a big motivator. As for writing specific plots, well, it could be a conversation I had with someone, a random but intriguing thought, or really wanting to mess with a trope.
Oh boy, who do I tag? @doomedtemperament and @yzzy-gggg, if you guys want to tell us more about yourselves?
