for the fic ask! ✨❤️🚦📚
Yay, thank you! 💗
✨️ Out of the comments you’ve received on your fics, what are two or three of your favorites?
Oh gosh. Fangmin/spillentireuniverses left a comment on Capable, Exalted that was so long and detailed that it maxed out the character limit twice. It’s the closest reading anything I’ve written has ever gotten and it was so, so thoughtful and insightful and kind and that was the best feeling in the world. It legit nearly made me cry.
Actually, I could pick almost any comment on that fic and it would be one of my favorites. Everyone was so sweet and said such meaningful things. It was such a special batch of comments to get.
There were also a couple on Track Changes that stuck with me. The fic is largely about coming out to yourself and someone left a really personal comment about how deeply it resonated with them. I think about that one a lot. And then one of the very first comments I got on the fic still makes me laugh:

❤️ What is your favorite line that you’ve written in a fic?
I tend to like my sentences in context better than independently. I spend a lot of time thinking about rhythm and emotional beats, and the lines I’m happiest with are often the ones where I feel like I’ve hit those beats dead-on. Accordingly, I’m almost always very proud of my final lines and the way they tie up a story’s threads. I doubt they sound like much out of context, but I was pleased with this one from and we’ll share my all:
Laudna presses Imogen’s hands to her face, then to her mouth, then to her chest, where the pulse of her heart beats slow and steadfast and warm in a way that is herself and no one else, she knows it, a way that is hers and Imogen’s alone.
🚦What sort of endings do you prefer to write: ambiguous, bad, happily ever after, etc.?
Generally sweet and tender and hopeful.
📚 Is there a fanfic or fanfic writer you recommend?
I’ve done Imodna rec lists before, so instead I’m going to mention two other things. One is the fic I haven’t shut about about since I first read it nine years ago and that’s Presque Vu, an Inception prequel that does some truly masterful worldbuilding and bruising, wonderful character work. The other is the author @gyzym whose Inception coffeeshop AU I’ve read more than almost any other fic and whose Good Omens fic made me cry.
