Hello person who is alive, I am down with a summer flu (dun dun DUN) for the meme I want 12, 13, 17 28 and 32 (kufufufufufufu)
Hello, hun! Sorry for the delayed response. I was down for a while due to the lack of response and I've been considering something recently that's been on my mind quite a lot. Also you can't see full asks on mobile so I had to remember to to answer when I got on the computer. *rolls eyes*
Anyway. I hope you're all better now. I got the flu myself not long ago, even though I got the vaccine. :') Sigh...

12. Is there an episode above all others that inspires you just a little bit more?
Okay so this is a tough question for me, but only because I don't really understand what it's asking. By "episode" does it mean, like, for a tv show or something? Because when I first read through this list it didn't seem specific to any one kind of media so I am thoroughly confused. So I'll think of something and if you want me to answer something else, lemme know.
Hmmm... Well, as an artist I have always loved animated movies and shows over live action ones, so those have had much more of an impact on me since I was little. Things like Studio Ghibli or Disney, shows like Avatar the Last Airbender, lots and lots of video games, and some anime eventually (tho I'll always be more of a manga girl). I think the top three fandoms that have influenced me over the years are Harry Potter, Batman, and Legend of Zelda. Each sticks with me to this day and has had a lot of affect on my writing, obviously or not. So not really episodes, but fandoms. If you wanna know about a certain fandom and it's influence, tho, feel free to ask.
13. What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever come across?
WRITE FOR YOURSELF. It's also probalby the hardest piece of advice to follow for a lot of us. But my best friend and I always pass this bit of advice back and forth between the two of us, because we both need to hear it so often. And it's true. Writing isn't about doing things for others. It's about yourself - putting yourself and your ideas and love to paper (quote unquote) so that you can share a bit of yourself with others. But putting that piece of yourself out there is so hard and it can ake you feel fragile. So the solution? Feel proud of it. Love it. Love it enough that it doesn't matter what the response is. Because it's a part of you and you are wonderful.
17. Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?
I am very much a person who writes from start to finish. This doesn't mean I never have notes or ideas for further on down the line, but I'm much more likely to flesh things out more as I come to them in the story. This has worked for me for the most part because I don't write many... uh... long stories, I guess. I'm more of a oneshot or connected oneshots kinda girl these last few years. Though I do have some chapter fics going right now and some that... I really, uh... should finish. >__>
28. Share three of your favorite fic writers and why you like them so much.
Haha! Oh, hun, you know I'll always consider you one of my faves. We've bonded over hurting Tim too often to ever be anything else but faves. And I'll always remember the old crowd fondly, though it's been almost five years now since we started drifting apart. Heartlogos, Ailea, BlueThursday, MGNemesi, Varevare, Justsayins, Wisiadan, Lectoral, Jcolney... *sighs, lost in memories* So many good times. I'll admit that I haven't been as active or attached since, and couldn't name some of the writers I like right now offhand. I'd have to go looking and such.
But yeah. I miss the good times. :')
32. How do you feel about smut?
Darling. My dearest. *gently puts hand on shoulder* Love, you know very well the answer to that question. But I can't blame you.
I am all for smut, which is odd considering my personal opinions on the idea of sex and I even considering to appear in the same sentence in, uh... most any way. Anyway. My darlings, I am in full support of all smut. Get creative. Get kinky. Get crazy. Explore yourself and your interests in fanfiction to your hearts' content.
And if you need ideas I'm always a willing ear. uwu
