20 Questions for Fic Writers
EEEEEEE thanks for the tag @toastytoaster22!
1. How many works do you have on Ao3?
Five! All one-shots (because multi chapter scares me)
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?
23,559 (wooo!)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Mostly Mob Psycho 100 (at least that’s what I post).
I’ve got WIPs for Mother 3, Persona 5, Breaking Bad, The Avengers, Pokemon, Danny Phantom, and Super Mario Galaxy.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Let Go (which I wrote in a day lol)
Philophobia (the fic that was free therapy)
Yoroshiku Matsuoka San (the first I posted!)
Off Button (another wrote it a day)
It Should Have Been Me (my one Mother 3 fic because that fandom is tinyyyyyyyyy haha)
5. Do you respond to comments?
YES! Or I try to anyways haha. I’m so thankful when people not only read my story and kudos it, but then take the time to WRITE A COMMENT?!?
Y’all are doing God’s work out there.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
“It Should Have Been Me” for sure, though none of my fics have straight up “bad” endings. There’s at least a little hope in each one. But with Mother 3 having the whole “Tanetane Island” business, it’s a rough night for all the kiddos after that 🫠
“Philophobia” and “Let Go” are close seconds with hopeful endings.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
“Yoroshiku Matsuoka-san”, the fic based off of the one and only “Issho” by Toasty! It’s still the longest fic I’ve ever written, sitting at almost 12k, and it’s still my fave I’ve posted. It’s all kinds of fluff (with only one angst scene) and ends with Reigen tucking Teru into bed and then giving him the safest, warmest hug 🥺
8. Do you get hate on fics?
LOL I’m not known enough in the fandom to get hate, and I hope I never am 🤣
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes, but I keep those fics to myself. Even then, I wouldn’t consider them “smut,” and more like “graphic sex is present in this story, but it’s less about the sex and more about the emotions the characters are feeling.”
Most of them are safe ways for me to explore any type of sexual feelings I have while also sorting out what exactly it is I’m feeling. Because of this, most of them center around asexuality and kinks I’m curious about.
10. Do you write crossovers?
YEEEEES! Yes yes yes! I haven’t posted any, but I have WIPs of:
Super Mario Galaxy x Mother 3 (because Lucas needs a mom and that mom is Rosalina)
Earthbound x Mob Psycho 100 (Psychic kiddo meets psychic kiddo)
Danny Phantom x The Avengers (because I think science obsessed Danny and Bruce Banner would get along preeetty well.)
Breaking Bad x Mov Psycho 100 x The Avenegers (I’m not gonna explain this one. It’s for one of my best friend’s eyes only XD)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of (please don’t 😢)
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I know of (please do 🤩)
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nah, not a fanfiction. Ngl, that sounds like a nightmare.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Oh Terumob no question XD
Well, I say that, but I have The Big Three which I like all for different reasons.
Ash x Misty (Pokeshipping) for being my very first ship, and it will always have a special place in my heart. (The fluff ship, if you will.)
Bruce Banner x Natasha Romanov (Brutasha) because there is SOOOOOO much potential with these two that the MCU just threw in the garbage and I’m MAD ABOUT IT! I’m writing and drawing what I WANT TO SEEEEEEE!!! (Aka, the angst ship)
And then Terumob, which has been the source of some of the best, most heartbreaking fics I’ve ever read. Get these kids some love. (The perfect blend between angst and fluff).
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Hmmmm not doubt I will, but it’ll take me years XD
It’s “Adrift,” which is my love letter to my favorite fairy tales, musicals, romance tropes, and just life itself.
I can’t see myself finishing it until I’m older though. Simply because the ending is supposed to represent how everything in life will work out in the end, and that there is a plan for each and every everyone of us in life…
… but I don’t know how that ends. I don’t know how my own life story ends, so how am I supposed to know how this one does?
16. What are your writing strengths?
I’m not sure if it’s my strength, but I love writing dialogue!
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Ahdkfhsldjf The process of actually writing and not just daydreaming 🤣
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Well, since most of my fave shows are from Japan, that would be wild to write all the dialogue in Japanese haha. I’m similar to what Toasty said, where if there isn’t a translation for the word in English, I use the Japanese word with Romaji. I also try to use Japanese Honorifics to the best of my ability.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Super Mario Galaxy! I wrote it for a project in 5th grade lol.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Hmmmmm… finished fic would be “Yoroshiku Matsuoka-san” because I love that it made so many people smile!
But my favorite WIP is both the BB X MP100 x Marvel crossover and “Adrift”. Both fics fit into the category of “I’m writing what I’ve always wanted to read.”

I don’t talk about Cyborg a lot but seeing some of the new content with him vs his ntt stuff I do think we need to have a serious discussion about the ableism and anti blackness (which very much walk hand in hand) with how dc writes and uses Vic.
Like if you see a character who’s main narrative theme is being a man over machine in spite of how he’s perceived and only write him with only his cybernetics in mind and not in a disability friendly way but to very much dehumanize a visibly disabled man because of his disabilities..like it shows.
The second his prosthetics stopped being prosthetics (comic logic aside) is the second the writer stops viewing him as a Disabled man-and the second that happens is the second you misunderstand the character and think it’s ok to show such torture porn that we’ve seen with his character in the last few years.
It’s inhumane how he’s shown and treated and regrettably it’s because the writers (and solid parts of the fandom) just do not view him as human on a fundamental or narrative level. He needs a disabled writer (ideally a black one). He needs disabled sensitivity readers so we get less truly triggering ableist scenes (or least warnings god). He needs to be written and viewed as a human being 😭
Like I fully admit I’m not the best person for this discussion but if I can notice and get triggered by his treatment as a disabled person imagine how an amputee feels? Let alone a Black one-honestly just imagine how anyone in the Black disabled community feels? It’s just not right and we need to actively start holding dc accountable for their treatment of Vic
