Fanfiction ask: 10, 14, 27, 50!
10. Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?
Quite a few, actually. Supernatural, Hannibal, The Witcher, even the Marvel Universe sometimes!
14. Who are your BroTPs?
TEEN SQUAD!!!! Best bros for LIFE! Also, I love Mumensai friendship. And Kingsai friendship. ALL THE FRIENDSHIPS!!
27. What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?
Summaries. Sure, titles are hard, but summaries are friggin’ impossible. I usually just shove in a vague description and consider it close enough. My ship is rare enough that most of my readers just take what they can get, heh.
50. How did you get into reading or writing fanfiction?
I read the seventh Harry Potter fic and felt strongly dissatisfied. I went looking to see if there was more to it, stumbled onto fanfiction, never looked back. I’d written dumb little stories when I was younger, nothing worth publishing or sharing. I’ve even written a couple drabbles on kinkmemes under a different name. Put up a couple fics on livejournal with the expectation that they would never be seen and then never followed up.
Years passed.
I watch One Punch Man after hearing all these references about it. Start reading Saigenos. Find this one really good writer named @batneko. I keep reading the manga online and find myself really liking this Garou character, especially after seeing him empathize with monsters.
I decide to go looking for fics about Garou - and who better to look into than that one really, really good writer whose works I’ve been bingeing?
I read “Is Your Pet Licensed?” and Loved It. I went looking for more, read everything in the tag. It wasn’t hard, since the fics were in single digits then. And then I read “Thanksgiving With The Family” and there was this one bit -
"You turned your back on your multiple-generation yakuza family, to fight monsters in... a bike helmet and knee pads?"
"Yes."
Garou nearly dropped his tea from the surge of blood to his nether regions.
(From Batneko’s fic here -> http://archiveofourown.org/works/8701681)
-and I got this dumb idea. Like, what if Garou got all hot and bothered over Mumen being all heroic and noble and stuff? There was a sad lack of smut, but I’d never written that before, so I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. But there was only one Mature fic and no Explicit ones, and definitely nothing with my new headcanon of Garou’s Inconvenient Hero Fetish.
And so I started writing Hero Diaries.
And, well...
16 fics and over 500k words later, I’m still going!
