I was tagged by exuberant-imperfection who I blame for my ever writing fanfiction (which is an extremely recent development which you can check out on ao3!)
1. what are some writing tics that persist in your work but that you dislike?
I could write five goddamn pages of dialogue for one stupid scene. And I can’t for the life of me remember actions half the time. >.< I end up writing the conversation then going back and adding what the heck they were doing. Facial expressions are alright, but hand movement or walking around.... oops?
Also. I’ve found I have an addiction to forehead kisses... and like random fluff. I’ve been writing with friends and complained about wanting to write in kisses in the most serious scenes... Sorry, not sorry, guys. (Ok, maybe a little bit sorry.)
2. what does your id want? do you ever give in?
THE AFOREMENTIONED FOREHEAD KISSES. I swear the little bastards are ruining my life ;-; I JUST WANT ALL THE FLUFF
If you read our stupid IKEA fic (”Protect Me”) or my goddamn MuraKura fluff you will understand. In terms of fluff, it’s go hard or go home. I pack as much stupidly in love clingy shit into whatever happy moments we write.
3. You have to erase one of your fics from existence forever. Which one and why?
Um, I really haven’t written enough to regret anything too much, but maybe “Who Says Romance is Dead?” just because I was so completely out of it and I’m responsible for that awful awful blooper....
4. how much do you trust the reader?
I’m not really sure? I tend to write more dialogue than action so I suppose a fair amount? I haven’t exactly written any complex fics on my yet though. So it’s pretty much a guess at this point.
5. have you ever written anything you would’ve backclicked if it’d been written by anyone else?
I don’t think so? But I generally can’t read my own crap so...
I do however like stupid fluff and sass and that tends to reflect in my writing so I’d say no.
6. what’s your guilty pleasure as a writer?
Crying scenes. Shit. I wrote a fucking crying scene and a panic attack and loved both of them (I almost had a panic attack of my own writing it but the satisfaction came after I’d calmed down)
Also, I apparently have a thing for handcuffs? Shut up, Kate.
Again, forehead kisses and general casual touches. Also, sass. I write the sassiest Aomine to ever sass. I also apparently write a really horny Aomine.
7. be honest: are you mean to your faves, or do you go easy on them?
HA. I am mean as hell. I’m currently throwing around an idea for a major angst fic that will involve lots of tears and no happy ending. I intend to keep both of those things in the published result. Also, I gave someone a panic attack... Oops.
8. what parts of writing a fic do you think are a chore?
LOL. Exposition for sure. Just last night, I told my friend to write the exposition for me and tell me when they finished... <3 That’s about it.
9. are there any unintentional trends in your writing?
Okay so my friends say I have an addiction to handcuffs BUT I TOTALLY DON’T. Also, the forehead kiss thing? I had that pointed out to me as well. Welp...
10. have you ever intentionally written a character as OOC to fit with a kink/prompt/story idea?
I hope not? I sometimes worry that in making Aomine so snarky, he’s more clever than his canon self (poor baby is such an idiot). Hopefully I keep an even balance of wit and hopeless dork though!
Tagging: anyone who wants to do it! BUT chrysti-e YOU BETTER DO THIS I WILL FIGHT YOU IF YOU DON’T <3 love you.
