for the fanfic writer asks: can I ask for 10, 63, and 90?
maybe also 100 aka anything u want to tell us about the new one you mentioned 😊 if u would like.
Hi Trude! Thanks so much for asking. :)
10. At what point in the process do you come up with titles, and how easy or hard is that for you?
Tbh, anything other than the actual story writing is hard for me. I have a difficult time being bothered with titles and endings and tagging and summaries, etc etc. LOL. This is down to my lagging attention span most days.
I rarely have a title until the work is almost done. Usually It's named once it's finished, and I'm forced to give it a name so I can publish it, lol. I like to pick simple, one or two word names that fit the theme I'm trying to convey.
63. What’s the best insult you’ve read in a fic?
Let me think ... .. (consulting my AO3 bookmarks) ....
I think it has to be a Sev line from Terms of Engagement:
“I said, shut up, Fi. You yakking, mindless slut.”
It's great because it's such a projection: Sev is so painfully turned on when he says it. ::hotashell::
90. Do you notice your own voice in your writing style?
Yes. My writing style is my voice. With the benefit of many edits.
100. Open question to the writer.
The new fic would be Rosary, my first foray into Call of Duty. I'm sure there will be more, since I seem stuck here for a bit, anyways. I fell hard for GhostSoap. Biscuit mentioned that it's basically SevFi in another universe, and I'd agree with that. Similar vibes. But Ghost and Soap definitely have their own thing going, and it's quite distinct for me. Ghost is the type of character I'd write, and Soap is the type of character I'd get hot and bothered over, LOL.
It's so predictable, honestly. Ghost represents a taboo for Soap -- an irresistible challenge he must claim for himself, like everything else he's done. And for Ghost, Soap is that annoying, hatefully attractive distraction. (Everything he couldn't be). He can't help that he gets a little hard whenever Soap opens his mouth.
It's that whole two magnets bumping together because they have no other choice vibe which I just can't get enough of. >:P
