What is your total word count on AO3?
195,826 posted on AO3. (I have 672,556 words on Fanfiction.net, which doesn’t include my drabbles or prompts posted to tumblr).
I have an alarm set every day to remind me to write. Even if it’s just one sentence. On a good day, I can bang out about 3k words.
Do you have a routine for writing?
Get water, grab snack(s), pee. Do everything beforehand so I have as little distractions as possible. I have to write some place quiet too otherwise my writing is slow and chunky and awkward.
What are your favourite kinks/tropes/pairing?
(Going under a cut for NSFWness)
Oh jeez…how many am I willing to admit??
Control/Dominance - I love when there’s a fight for ‘dominance’, especially when it’s playful. Throw in banter and I’m done.
Age kink (give me all the dads!!)
Poly-relationships (translate: orgies with established relationships)
Size difference - not just the junk. I love that huge, masculine body against the petite female so small he thinks he might break her. Now give me her dominating and riding him to completion. KisaSaku
There’s a few more not willing to share hahah
Mutual, reluctant pining - whether because of their circumstances say they can’t be together or due to hesitancy on one/both end(s).
Enemies to friends to lovers - probably one of the hardest tropes to write and the longest, but omg that slow burn…
Not really a trope but when people add canon events to AUs (ie, Sakura with medical training, Minato/Hashirama/Tobirama/Tsunade as a political leader, Ino a specialist in psychology, Hashirama/Yamato has an interest in plants, Kakashi is a perv, etc etc)
ItaSaku - I may stray to other pairings but I will always, ALWAYS come back to this.
TobiSaku - Newly discovered but omg I love this asshole with all his sass, and Sakura refusing to bend to him.
KakaSaku - I’ve only written a few times but I love everything about this ship. The complexity, the age difference, the smut, the banter, the smut
ShiSaku - Shisui is just a great character. So smart and arrogant, yet playful and 100% mischevious. Sakura is both amused and incredulous.
Do you have a favorite fic of yours?
Where it Happened - as far as research goes, this has been the most time consuming fic I’ve ever written. I had to piece together so much medicine and medical research to make the story work. The first half of the fic averaged 5-6 hours of research per chapter. And I unintentionally had to ‘dumb’ it down because I realized it was getting too detailed for my readers to follow (whoops!)
The Choices We Make - Written while I was going through a very difficult time in my life, this story was unique in the fact that I was talking about a very heated topic (abortion: pro-life vs. pro-choice) WITHOUT influencing one side of the argument or another.
Hollow Point - Still on-going but dear god I love this fic. Likely more than any fic I’ve ever written. It’s complex, both with the characters and plot. It’s all very political (and filled with SMUT yaaassss). The whole story feels like a chest game, each piece having a purpose. I can’t wait to post more.
Your fic with the most kudos?
Nightmare in Red - I abandoned this fic for close to 8 months and yet it was the one that continued to get reviews. Thank you to those who pushed me into finishing this!
Anything you don’t like about your writing?
I think my old style used to be more ‘tell’ and not ‘show’. I’ve been working on it though and I think I’m getting better! :)
Now something you do like?
Dialogue. I love making my characters banter back and forth. I honestly crack myself up.
