8, 20, and 32 for the fandom asks 💖
(in reference to this post)
(I’m sorry, I know you sent this ask ages ago. Better late than never, right? ^^)
8. How did you get involved in your latest fandom?
I found GMM in August 2018. I quickly became obsessed and by March 2019 I was desperately searching for more randl content after watching basically every compilation video from Youtube. I’d never had a Tumblr blog, nor had I ever been on the site but I figured there might be more fan content here. Boy, was I right! Somehow I stumbled onto @likeaswitchinheat‘s blog and read Hangry. Let me tell you, I was freaking scandalized! I literally closed the tab when I got to the part where Rhett goes on his knees. 😂 (I was such an innocent baby back then...) But obviously, I couldn’t stop thinking about it and I came back and finished reading it and then I devoured more fanfic in about two weeks than most people do in their whole lives. I posted my first story on Ao3 at the end of March and here I am still, over 100 stories later. 🥰
20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?
Not necessarily surprised that I’m liking it (rhink), but the intensity of my like (=obsession) has surprised me. I tend to hyperfixate yes, but usually, it doesn’t last this long...
32. Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you?
Yes and yes. For longer fics, I usually compile a playlist I listen to while writing. For shorter ones, I either just listen to ASMR (because writing in silence would not work for me) or listen to a master list of my favorite albums/bands or my general rhink playlist.
Playlist for Let Me Be Your Light
Playlist for Apartment 69
My general Rhink playlist
