Ooooh I like the questions you picked!
4. Which of your fics surprised you by how much attention it received?
Two Different Worlds (must be logged in to read). I was sure people would think it was too weird to read, since there are so many awkward sex scenes. I was absolutely gobsmacked when people kept reading and commenting, even through the first weird smut.
f. Which character (POV or not) was your favorite to write?
I enjoyed writing both Link and Zelda -- the reason they have roughly equal POV time is because I liked them both so much. The NPCs honestly didn't get much love, I was focused on the Zelink-ness. Waffles (the cat) was always fun though, especially when writing the scene where Link is a wolf, because I was figuring out what Waffles would be thinking the whole time.
6. Which of your fics is the most serious?
When You're Ready (I answered this one in more detail here).
g. Which section was the most difficult to write?
I didn't have much difficulty with this one (also it's short, which helps 😅). Probably the hardest part is that I don't have the genitals Link does, so I did a fair amount of research to figure out what would actually happen and how it would feel (my algorithm was really confused for a while).
9. Which of your fics did you spend the least amount of time writing?
Matched Pair (must be logged in to read). That's almost entirely because it's short, only ~900 words. I wrote it in one or two sittings because I was inspired by some fun fanart. (I decided recently that I want to do more things like this, little mini fics inspired by other fan creations, rather than more formal things like fic exchanges).
d. What is your favorite line or excerpt from it?
"Link." She savors the feel of his name in her mouth, her tongue wrapping around one single syllable. "What is it that you want?"
(I just reread it to find a good snippet and my goodness these two are THIRSTY).
Thanks for the ask! Mix and match questions here
At the start, it's all about the duality ✨

The difference to one post to another istg lmao
Literature & poetry has set the standards too high that when I close the book and step into reality, I find a totally different world - deeply chaotic & absolutely baffling, where even a single open conversation with another human soul is a rare phenomenon, let alone the possibility of cementing any lasting relationship..

Lenny Welch - Two Different Worlds (1965)
I don't usually post too much MOR stuff, but I like this one. Lenny Welch was gonna be the next Johnny Mathis, but record company problems and a stint in the military derailed his career.

I love Encanto but I think we all agree that it's got many flaws in terms of execution of ideas. Let's see. To name the basic ones, Bruno's visions are simplistic, harmless. Come on, rain? Gut? Dead goldfish? Is that all an adult fears? Plus, how can they act as if nothing happened when Bruno left his hidden room for 10 years? Children's movies have never been so stupid, so that is no excuse. But there is a more subtle, sociological problem when it comes to the attitude of the family, especially Abuela Alma. I understand the justification for the narrative tension, the fact that Abuela gets obsessed with the Encanto and the survival of the candle. But worst than that, she didn't mourn Bruno's departure but thought the worst of him. A Hispanic person never thinks that way! Catholic hispanismo is NOT utilitarian, that's the Anglo-germanic mentality: I need things to survive, better if they are useful to me. Hispanic people's values are on society's events. Abuela should have been showed not so happy about her SON too, not just and only the candle! The pain in her should have been BOTH her son and the unity through the magic, not just "magic before family" but "magic is family and I cannot risk another loss so please Mirabel don't talk about the magic!". I am extremely tired of consuming films, books and videogames about other cultures made by the Anglosaxons. Why cannot we make OUR own movies about us? Why does the English world always feel they have to be in every part of the world? Or at least ask, do research etc. When I read about ancient Greeks, it's the same flaw in their socialisation and linguistic expressions and values (yes, Madeline Miller, I'm also talking about you). I just hope one day the world would be a better place to think and do. A real Encanto.
