It's me, your favorite person! For the 35 fanfic questions: 5, 6, 7, 10, 16, 19, 23, 28, 31, 35

My love!!

5. What’s the fic you’re most proud of?

Currently published, it would probably be until it doesn't hurt. I've got one currently in the works (I think I'm about halfway done with it!) that I'm incredibly proud of.

6. What element of writing do you find comes easily?

Dialogue!! Dialogue is incredibly easy for me.

7. What element of writing do you struggle with most?

Consistency. It's one of the major things I edit for when I edit. Finding that consistent balance between character, setting, and dialogue.

10. What’s your favorite genre to write for?

Fantasy!!

16. Any guilty pleasure trope(s)?

So many. Miscommunication/lack of communication, cheating, plenty of dead dove-y tropes, doomed by the narrative, chosen one (and the immediate follow-up of refusal of the call).

19. Do you prefer canon-compliant, AUs, or something in-between?

It depends on the original material. I generally like things that steer closer to canon than AUs, but a good AU doesn't hurt.

23. Do you prefer prompts and challenges, or completely independent ideas?

I miss doing prompts and challenges!! I keep hoping to return to them more (side eyeing the bingo card in my inbox that I have barely touched).

28. How well do you handle criticism when it comes to your writing?

It depends on whether I've asked for it or not. Generally, I like receiving criticism and comments on my work if I ask for it. If it's someone I don't know in the comments? Fuck 'em.

31. Do you have any OCs? Tell us about them!

This could be it's own post LOL. I have so many. Breaking it down by project:

Prodigal Son: Choi Seunghyun, Choi Seungwan are the two who stick out in my head, but there's a full cast to that. It was a political thriller k-drama a friend and I came up with that lives in my head rent-fucking-free. Seunghyun is a politician and Seungwan is his teenage son.

Tookverse: it's literally an entire alternate world of idols I designed. It started as part of envious and ended up expanding to its own thing. I love these guys. I've got a soft spot for two of the 2nd generation groups, and one of the 4th generation groups.

35. Ramble about any fic-related thing you want!

Omg okay okay okay, so. I've been working on this fic hoping to get it out in time to rec it onto a rec list. It's currently around 10k, and the third member of a polycule has been mentioned (NOT BY NAME) and that's it. I think I'm probably about halfway done with it. A character I wasn't expecting showed up and created an actual plot to this story and now it's a lot more than just the 3-5k of pining I was expecting it to be. It's also a POV I haven't ever written before but I've been super enjoying it.

I know the numbers aren’t perfect but this is more a vibes thing than exact numbers lol.

Also the high school I have in mind is 4 years worth, roughly 14-17 year olds. But I’m aware the amount of years/ages can vary in different regions and that will affect the number of students as well. But this isn’t that serious so it’s fine lol

I feel like many people have a fundamental misconception of what unreliable narrator means. It's simply a narrative vehicle not a character flaw, a sign that the character is a bad person. There are also many different types of unreliable narrators in fiction. Being an unreliable narrator doesn't necessarily mean that the character is 'wrong', it definitely doesn't mean that they're wrong about everything even if some aspects in their story are inaccurate, and only some unreliable narrators actively and consciously lie. Stories that have unreliable narrators also tend to deal with perception and memory and they often don't even have one objective truth, just different versions. It reflects real life where we know human memory is highly unreliable and vague and people can interpret same events very differently

From the unpopular asks game!

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

Hope you're doing okay Took!

Hey friend!! Thanks for the ask <3 I'm doing alright - stressed but I'm alive!

💛: What is a popular ship you just can't get behind, and why?

About to get messy but... gahan. I know, I know, I've written a ton of it. But I actually don't really ship it? I don't think it would work out in the long run and they're infinitely more fun to stick in an AU blender than to write about in canon/post-canon.
