20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank you @garglyswoof and @stars-and-darkness for the tag!

How many works do you have on ao3? 10 *sobs in my WIP folder, which has so many WIPs*

What's your total ao3 word count? 167,467. The amount of fic that i have that is not published, you guys. it's embarrassing.

What fandoms do you write for? Klaroline. I know there's two other fandoms on my page but I don't write for them those just kind of happened.

Top five fics by kudos: Til I Tasted You (zero surprises, the Klaroline soumate timetravel au takes the cake), Hallowed Ground (the Klaus-is-actually-the-damsel Irish fae soulmate au), Timing (the Labyrinth continuation that I have a contentious relationship with), Emergency Stop (The Elementary S2 PWP), No Roses For Your Bones (Klaroline social media mafia au i love u)

Do you respond to comments? I try to respond to every one, i am way behind right now and some of them are not showing up that i know i have gotten emails for and are not showing up in my inbox so i have to figure out what to do about that.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Stellar Flare is probably the angstiest ending (such as it is) bc they're still stuck in that snow drift and Caroline is shot. It will (eventually) have happy ending.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Pick a fic, i am a happy ending JUNKIE, you won't find sadness here, sorry angst fans!

Do you get hate on fics? I think the most "hate" i've gotten was someone telling me my fic read like a tumblr post and that they could do better. 😂 Otherwise no, I'm not that important.

Do you write smut? Yes, on occasion, when @cupcakemolotov is like "you know what this could use? smut"

Craziest crossover: I am not really a crossovers person. I like some things like certain AUs. You can set things in a universe that exists and i'll jive?

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I'm aware of.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Uhm, I think a couple girls in China have run my fic and others through translation software so their friends who don't speak English but are into Klaroline could read it?

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes, I've been (very very slowly) co-writing a The Mummy fic with @gaydragonwizards, and @impossiblekryptonitecolor and i are hammering out ideas on a fic.

All time favorite ship? Klaroline is a pretty high contender. This couple has had me in a CHOKEHOLD for years and years and now that i'm writing fic for it, it's even worse. Kenshin/Kaoru another chokehold couple. Will I ever get them out of my system? 16 year old me is still wondering.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Stop that shhh, i will FINISH my WIP, i WILL.

What are your writing strengths? Humor! I think I am very funny, thank u. Also I've heard I give good yearning.

What are your writing weaknesses? Putting words on the screen? Uh, describing things. I forget to describe shit. Outfits? nah. Scenery? pssh. That shit has been added in on the second pass when i remembered it was needed.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language? I mean, fine, just add in a translation somewhere. And don't do that floaty text one, that shit don't work on mobile.

First fandom you wrote in? InuYasha. Baby!Kiry was sooo young.

Favorite fic you've written? Genuine toss up between Til I Tasted You and No Roses For Your Bones. Like No Roses is so technically good and i feel like the characterizations are so fun and the relationships are really sturdy, and Klaus WANTS Caroline with the force of a thousand suns and is very graciously not murdering Tyler about it until he, you know, can murder Tyler about it. But TITY has suuuuuch good emotions and some raw ass lines and features a thousand years of yearning, and really how do i compete with that?

Tagging: @impossiblekryptonitecolor, @averseunhinged, @the-road-betwixt, @galvanizedfriend, @marxandangels, @gaydragonwizards, @ofstormsandfire

you know i have never heard a convincing arguement as to why AO3 should not moderate the content that is posted to their website and i think a lot of the arguement against moderation on AO3 boils down to, terminally online people thinks community moderation is the same as government censorship and personally sending the cops to someone’s house to arrest them irl/

The default length of pasta is designed to fit on a supermarket shelf, not to be the best length for cooking/eating.

Feel free to break it to any length you want (don't let the Italians know I said this)

Don’t tell your daughter that when a boy is mean or rude to her it’s because he has a crush on her. Don’t teach her that abuse is a sign of love.

Eliot: I stay close to protect Hardison and Parker. I suppose I’m third wheeling but if that’s what it takes to keep them safe then so be it

Hardison: Eliot is our boyfriend. We take him on dates all the time

Parker: he hasn’t figured it out yet

Hardison: I suggested we tell him

Parker: but this is more fun

Hardison: yeah it is

nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well

enter Terms of Service, Didn’t Read: a website and a browser addon that streamlines the terms of service of many popular web services to be read by the tech sunday drivers.

The Saga of Bob: Endgame (hopefully)

This one was awhile coming. Partly I was afraid that if I posted it, the tumor would come back the next day, and partly I had some complications that took awhile to iron out. But here we are, at long last, sans Bob.

You can learn all about how I had cancer in Part One or hit the prior episode at Part Seven.

What is with doctors and painkillers?! Though to her credit, she was like “I am so sorry you’re in pain! Let me write a new prescription!”

(Still not sure if it’s PTSD.)

That last bit was the really scary one. (It was, uh, pretty bad. Never been bedridden before. Don’t recommend it.)

Shout out to Doctor Pinkeye who had it sorted in two business days. Also, when I first reported my symptoms, she said “You never complain about anything. If you say something’s wrong, it is.” She’s a doctor in a million.

Lack of cortisol can cause problems in about twenty different ways, including dangerous levels of potassium and blowing your electrolytes all to hell. It’s actually kinda interesting, in a “wow, look at all the fascinating ways I could keel over!” way.

Honestly, after two months of slowly crashing cortisol levels, complaining about radiation would have felt like complaining over a hangnail. It was boring and I moisturized a lot, the end.

Also there are some quite nice MedicAlert bracelets on Etsy.

And here is hoping I never have to make another one of these!
