5, 17, and 25 for the get to know your author meme :DD (the topics are all so good tbh)
5) character you were most surprised to end up writingUshiwaka, definitely. I had never written him before, but I kept seeing people hate on him for what he said to Oikawa like...every time they spoke. But I *get* the kind of person he is, with no simultaneous brain to mouth filter. He says what he means, and I like that. So last year for his birthday, I started a story about him making friends with unlikely people. It’s one of my most popular stories, and I am proud of the way it was received. People love this tol doofus the same way I do, which gives me hope and life.
17) if you could give your fledgling author self any advice, what would it be?Stop worrying about making things perfect. It isn’t, won’t be, and never will be. Instead, focus on what you want to say and how you want to say it. The rest (style, flow, etc) comes with time and practice. Not with slavish exactitude.
25) copy/paste a few sentences or a short paragraph that you’re particularly proud ofHoly crap, this is probably the hardest question on this entire thing. I have a million words’ worth of fic, so how am I supposed to choose? I’ll pick the first thing that comes to mind, I guess, lol.
This is from my fic Not a Love Story, featuring Suga/Miyuki Kazuya from Daiya no Ace.
Throwing a smirk at Suga, Kazuya grabs an armload of trousers and marches into the fitting room. Suga follows and clinically strips Kazuya down to his underwear. "One 'on your knees' joke and I will break it off," Suga warns, shooting a glare for good measure. Kazuya's cheeks are already bulging with retrained laughter. "I mean it, Miyuki."
"Anything you — you —" Kazuya cackles, leaning against the side of the changing room as he tries to catch his breath. "Oh, I'm s-sorry."
Suga reaches out and roughly pinches a chunk of Kazuya's rump and rolls his eyes. "No you're not. Now shut up before you get us thrown out."
Send me a number to ask about my fics.
