What’s your favorite part about writing?

The comments. 

Lol, yeah, no -- the feedback is *awesome* Comments make my fucking *DAY*, but what I like best about the process is when you hit that line, that ONE line, in a scene or story that’s just *PERFECT* It’s the exact right thing to say, and it SOUNDS good. I love that.

making posts on tumblr is a constant war of words”Will this blow up? Or absolutely hit the fan?”

Edit: my point exactly this hit the fan 😭

Number 4 and 8 :)

Awwww, thanks for asking!

4) favorite character you’ve written

Well, this one is easy  – I love writing Steve. I have a lot of Steve people in my life (the main Steve, the side Steve, and baby!Steve) and I’ve got a bit of Steve as well. Steve is kind of hard to write – he’s not the most verbal of people and I get the sense that he’s not all that much in touch with his inner Steve a lot of the time. He is used best in stories that challenge his understanding of the world or his values, etc. – sometimes those can be hard to write. I particularly like stories where he’s super confident in one area (in MCU he took out an elevator of fighting people) but is not confident in others, like relationships (oh gosh, so many examples of this).

I find Tony to be very difficult to write – he is kind of the opposite of my personality and I have to challenge myself writing him so that he doesn’t end up insubstantial. Tony is a person too! with feelings and all that. He’s a great character in that he’s verbal so it’s easier to write him since he’ll likely talk about feelings more readily than Steve.

8) favorite genre to write

My go to genre seems to be romantic action adventure – I love that stuff so I like writing it. And I’ve written a lot of it.

I love humor/comedy – that’s so much harder to write though so it takes me sometime to work out the humor. I wish I could be better at it.

But strangely one genre that I seem to have a talent for is hard-boiled noir/detective fiction – I’ve been meaning to write something along those lines for Steve/Tony for sometime (Tony is like the owner of this seedy night club and Steve the bouncer he hires and Steve’s got this mysterious past that threatens to take down Tony but Tony looovveeees him and … well, you get the picture). I’ve written a couple of stories in this vein – the Casablanca story, the mafia au, and then there was a Stucky fic.

“We…don’t have to kiss,” she assured him, glancing briefly up at him, and then away again. “It’s not like it’s an official rule or anything…”She was so cute. The way she was so embarrassed over a simple kiss made Adrien want to tease her.“But what if I want to kiss?” He asked her innocently, her head snapping up to stare at him, her jaw gaping open. He grinned at her. “It doesn’t have to be a kiss on the lips, after all, does it?”“Oh…” Marinette relaxed, her shoulders slumping with relief.

*CACKLES*

I love Mari’s reaction here; she’s only so reluctant because she didn’t think her heart could take a kiss from Adrien Agreste, no matter how “over him” she is. (Psst, you’re not fooling anyone, Mari.)

She about had a heart attack when Adrien suggested they kiss anyway, ESPECIALLY since not two minutes ago, she had just rejected him as Ladybug. A part of her mind was panicking, like he’d be able to tell it was her if they kissed or something. Idk, her brain works weird. >_>

The relief she felt when Adrien said it didn’t have to be a kiss on the lips was tinged with a tiny bit of disappointment. XP

As I wrote this scene, I knew it would be a kiss scene, but not what the readers (or Adrien) would be expecting. XD Flustered Adrien is one of my favorite Adriens, and being dipped by his “not” girlfriend and kissed on the cheek? A+ way to break him, if I do say so myself. XD

Really, this was just fuel to the fire that had ignited the moment Adrien spotted Marinette Dupain-Cheng all dressed up for a night out with him, and I enjoyed writing it immensely. His revelation at the end of the chapter makes this moment so much funnier to me, because he had been all cocky earlier, only to be undone the minute Marinette follows through with her kiss.

This chapter was one of my favorite chapters to write~

Thanks for the prompt, Nonny!
