7, 13, and 18 for the ask game thing :)

Thank you for the ask!

7. How do you choose which POV to write from?

Oh that's a good one! I usually ask myself who has the most insight to give the reader on the story (ex. in Crying Wolf, Hobie's omniscient was chosen because he was the one infected by the symbiote, so his confused and at times unreliable perspective was good for the reader to piece together what was happening). When I use the switching format -- usually for longer multi-chapter fics -- it's because both characters have something to offer, or their own subplots that I want them to experience through their own eyes rather than another character's.

13. what’s a common writing tip that you almost always follow?

The 'said' rule! I almost always use the dialogue tag 'said/says' unless I'm using something else for emphasis, because otherwise the flow of the prose is disrupted. I've also been leaving off tags entirely, so the dialogue stands entirely by itself, because it makes for smoother reading at times. Idk it's just something i like to stick to.

Oh, and the minimal adverb rule, save for when they give emphasis or are used in an unexpected context, but I find myself breaking that one more regularly.

18. Do you title your fics before, during, or after the writing process? How do you come up with titles?

I'm all over the place with this. Sometimes it's in the middle or after. If it's in the middle, then I've just been hit with the perfect one and if it's after then I usually have to hunt for them. Often I'll fall back on the classic lyric titles but I also come up with a fair bit myself, sometimes taken from my own personal poetry.

Thank you so much for the ask!!! Here is the masterpost for anyone interested!!!! This was a joy to get and answer <3

17, 25, and 39 for the fic writer meme? :3

HI VOID HIIIIII

17. What do you do when writing becomes difficult? (maybe a lack of inspiration or writers block)

I usually just get depressed (that's what triggers it a lot of the time) but if I'm actively dragging myself out of it, I'll put writing down and read an actual book book cover to cover -- something that I've never read before. Then in a day or two the words should start coming back to me, but it's not always guaranteed. Worth a shot though!

25. What fic do you wish you got more of a response on?

Ah honestly, I don't mean to sound ungrateful or greedy or anything like that but I wish selfc'est la vie had a little more reception. It's a stupid concept and it was written for me and two (maybe three) others really, but I spent just over two whole months on it and I'm really fucking proud of some of it so idk. Maybe throw some love for my little guys over or something

39. Share a snippet from a WIP

Y'all are so hungry for snippets damn!! I'm real eager to finish this one up and post it so I can get onto my actual long-form wips (I know I said that last time. And the time before that. But this time I am telling the truth I pinkie swear) so here you go <3

“I hope you find them,” Hobie says. “Who?” It’s startled out of Peter. “Someone who’s kind.” Hobie smiles crookedly. He gestures at Peter’s scarred face, his leg with its stitched gash. “I’m not gonna ask. But. Whoever they were, they weren’t kind.” Peter hasn’t thought about his scars in a long time. “They made sense in the moment,” he says. The words are foreign in his mouth.

As per the most recent ask game:

39 & 40?

Hey, thanks for the ask!

39. Share a snippet from a WIP

Mmmm alright thennn

“That is exactly what you should have done,” Karl says, though Peter suspects his irritation is more a facade for concern. He knows the type. He carefully doesn’t think of his scarred hands fluttering over the shoulders of a friend shorter than he; of glaring down at a gentle face split with a rueful grin; of a softer voice placating his own edge of concealed terror. “I didn’t want to,” Hobie says, like he’s convincing himself of a white lie. “It’s not his fault.”

40. If someone were to make fanart of your work, what fic or scene would you hope to see?

Oh shit uhhh I don't really have a preference? Honestly go ham, anything you want to throw my way will be received with rabid glee. Maybe something for the first cigarette scene in take a bite right out of the sky, where the dialogue "D'you ever stay out in the rain?" is said??? (I'm just a sucker for them smoking together DON'T SMOKE KIDS DON'T RISK UR LUNGS FOR HOMOEROTICISM)

#this was tagged x reader which is a shame because i have that blocked and i want to appreciate #hobie's pretty eyes too :(

[candyfloss-esophagus]

You know, it's actually funny that everytime i have freetime and free will - i draw Hobie.

Reasons? I have none, he just feeds all my needs in experimenting with colours and textures. Maybe that was the reason... idk, it's just refreshing (even if i draw him grumpy and bored, he's looking kissable in any mood)

#this is fucking GORGEOUS

The secret wish is to write a fanfic that someone loves so much they make fan art of it, or to create a drawing that someone creates an entire fic based off of it.

okok trying again... "over"?

Robbie used to tell him that his fedora made him loom more — no matter how he tried not to — and Peter used to let Robbie do the talking for him, but Robbie’s not here now so Peter takes his hat off and holds it to his chest as he wanders over to the driver.

thanks for the ask!! there were about four difference instances of over and this is the first one!!!
