20 questions for fic writers
Thanks for the tag @mrsbsmooth š„°
How many works do you have on AO3?
24. I also have another 40 fics posted on my old ff.net account that I always mean to cross-post and forget š
Whatās your total AO3 word account?
366,872. I have another 321,055 words in ff.net. I had no idea it was that much!
What fandoms do you write for?
In AO3, I have works for the MCU (Captain America, The Avengers), plus What Ifā¦? And Agents of SHIELD, Love Island the Game, Too Hot To Handle: Love is a Game and Heavenās Secret (Romance Club).
In ff.net I still have fics for Sailor Moon, Harry Potter, Chicago PD, Chicago Med, Chicago Fire, Greyās Anatomy, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Mentalist.
Avengers Initiative: Reset (MCU/Agents of SHIELD/What if�)
Drawing Hope on the Skyline (MCU)
A Real Relationship (LITG)
Lights Will Guide You Home (MCU)
Do you respond to comments?
Sometimes. Iām admittedly very bad at engaging back, I used to be way better at it when I was publishing things regularly. I still love and appreciate all the comments and kudos so much!
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I guess that would be Stuck, but then itās got a sequel where itās not such a sad ending after all.
Whatās the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
My oneshots are usually happy endings. I have so many unfinished WIPs, itās a whole other thing. I guess To Build a Home is the only ālongā project I ever finished and itās my idea of a happy ending for the pairing.
No. I think I only ever got one rude comment in all my fics, I canāt even remember what it was now, but I just deleted it and went on a tirade in my authorās note in the next chapter, I was really upset š
I started writing it in recent years. Iām not the best at it, but I find it very fun š¤
The only crossover I have is Avengers Initiative: Reset and it kind of makes sense since itās all within the MCU and adjacent universe.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Have you ever had a fic translated?
I think one of my old fics in ff.net got translated into another language at some point, but I canāt really remember which one now. Oh and I used to translate my old fics into Portuguese too.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I have, Love Island, Actually with my girls @i-boop-you, @crimswnred and @ellegreenwxy ā¤ļø
Considering the amount of words I wrote/read for them, itās got to be Steve/Natasha (CapWidow, Romanogers) from the MCU. But Iām such a shipper, I have so many pairings I love.
Whatās a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Sadly, all of them. Iām very bad at finishing projects and once I lose my inspiration to work on something itās practically impossible Iāll get back into it at a later time.
What are your writing strengths?
I hate this question because Iām very bad at knowing myself as a writer. Iāve heard Iām good at dialogue tags, like I know how to convey the right reactions/emotions with a few words without getting too much into inner monologue. Which makes sense because usually I start writing something with the dialogue, the back and forth and then Iāll work on the scene around it.
What are your writing weaknesses?
I also hate this question because I know thereās so much I need to work on, but itās hard for me to list them all down at the same time. I mentioned Iām terrible at finishing long projects so thatās one. I know my characters when Iām writing them but at the same time itās hard for me to translate that into my writing. I have a really hard time creating original characters, my MCs are just facets of myself in general, so itās hard for me to really get into their characterization.
Thoughts on dialogues in another language?
Iām totally fine with it, I think Iāve done it in a couple of fics. As long as thereās the translation somewhere (authorās notes, in brackets or narration) I donāt mind.
First fandom you wrote in?
Sailor Moon, back when I was 14 years old and used an actual notebook.
Favorite fic youāve written?
Ahhh thereās so many of them! Iām really proud of the ones I wrote for the MCU, they were a lot of fun. I have a Sailor Moon long fic I spent years writing, I still think of going back and finishing it. Recently Iāve been obsessed with Heavenās Secret though so if I have to pick one itās probably Prayers on his Lips. It was just so much fun getting back into writing after I went through a very long pause in all my projects.
