Because I can't rewatch MotA for the 25746 time and I've rewatched The Pacific already. I had to watch something else, so I've started to watch The Gilded Age.

It's really good. Haven't expected it to be that good but it's fun to watch and of course I've already a few fave characters 😄.

Watching s2 and it's even better then s1 👍🏻.

writing kinnporsche fic is great until you have to do mental gymnastics to avoid stuff like "grabbed Arm's arm" or "told Time that it's time"

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers

tagged by @returning-spring thank you so much I was hoping to do this! Which is why I tag every fic writer who reads this!

How many works do you have on AO3? 81. Which is. Hysterical, considering I really only started writing in 2020

What's your total AO3 word count? .....1,404,904. As I said. Hysterical. Girl, where do you find the time???

What fandoms do you write for? I mostly only write for one fandom at a time because my brain can only take so many hyperfixations (1), and at the moment it's Baldur's Gate. After spending over a year in VegasPete land

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? First Impressions (WenZhou, 4.6k) A Sip of Vinegar (WenZhou, 4.1k) Spilled Wine (VegasPete, 2.7k) If you're trouble (WenZhou, 2.1k) Improvisation & Bad Decisions (WenZhou, 1.8k)

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not? Yes I do, or at least I try to! Even though I mostly reply with any variation of "Aaaahhh thank you!!!", I want readers to know I read their comments & they make me very happy. Because I do, and they do.

What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Stories from a Lonely City. It's XueXiao, difficult to not get angsty with them

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? I mean, most of my endings are happy...Probably The Essence of Flame and Frost (WeiLan) bc I wrote an entire 15k epilogue specifially to make them happy

Do you get hate on fics? I once got a hate comment...it was hilarious. I cherish it to this day. It shows me my fic bothered someone so much that they had to take time out of their day to tell me about it!

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I can read smut (occasionally, while skipping through it), but I'm too ace to write it....big nerf.

Do you write crossovers? Only when I'm in the mood for crack and the fandoms fit really well together. I wrote 2 crossovers I think.

Have you ever had a fic stolen? No.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes, multiple, and I'm super honoured bc I know how difficult translating is.

Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, but my beta is helping me so much with brainstorming and fixing plotholes!

What's your all-time favorite ship? I don't really have one, they change over time. And while I cherish the memory of older ships, none has stayed with me. When we talk about the most intense ones, it's WeiLan (Guardian) and VegasPete (KPTS)

What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will? SandRay Fake Dating AU. Sorry friends, that one's off the table.

What are your writing strengths? I like to think I write somewhat nice dialogues. Also plays on words.

What are your writing weaknesses? Oh my god outlining my eternal nemesis. I just can't do it. Even if I attempt to, I always go off the rails. Extremely problematic when it comes to long fics. Also action scenes are difficult. Smut is impossible.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic? Not sure what this asks?

First fandom you wrote for? Ahahahah the good old days of Metal Gear Solid fanfic! Very nostalgic.

Favorite fic you've written? Error in the Code, no competition. This fic means so much to me on so many levels.
