Thank you for the ask!! <3
3. Are there any fics that inspired you to write what you do?
What Comes After by JayceCarter was a sort of inspiration for multiple fics. I loved the pairing of Deacon/Scribe Haylen and I loved it so much I wrote 15,000 words for it. I also fell in love with the soulmate trope I wrote a fic for that, too. And I’m working on another. Also @its-sixxers work More Ghosts than People and l’Appel du Vide were inspiring all on their own, they made me want to be a better writer.
13. Do you outline your fics? How much of a headache would someone get if they just looked at an outline of yours without reading the fic?
I outline some, mostly in short sentences or paragraphs that remind me of the next scene or specific dialog I want to put in. I think there would be minimal headache, mostly confusion. Most of my fics are just word vomit of ideas with barely coherent plot anyways.
23. What’s your absolute favorite trope to write?
Oh man, probably mutual pining, dumbasses to lovers, neither know that the other is head over heels. I love it so much, especially paired with a fake dating or undercover thing.
33. What do you like writing better: one shots or multi-chapter stuff?
Multi-chapter for sure! When I try to write one-shots I can never seem to keep it short, there’s always more I want to say. The one exception is angst, if they die, the fic is over!
43. Talk about a positive experience with fanfiction or the fanfiction community that you will always remember.
Honestly, @its-sixxers @theinkspots @crenarei you!!!! @adventuresofmeghatron and so many others have just been so supportive with kind words and encouragement. Every time I need help with a fic or just someone to tell me my writing isn’t terrible I can reach out to one of them or @cheesepuffbar @kvltprince @randomfuzzbunny and so many others in the Fallout and writing community. It’s really amazing.
