20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thank to @ink-in-books for tagging me.

How many works do you have on AO3?

Technically, 3. Though, one is just the "smut" content of another fic. So, really, I just have the two.

2. What's your total A03 word count?

141,494 words.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

On this O3 account, just Clone Wars.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

M'dear, I only have two fics.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes, I do! Especially if they are engaging questions that ask about the world-building, the character study, or my plot.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

It isn't ended, but it has the most angst in it, and it has also left-off in the angstiest way. But, it would be Aay'han: Mournful Celebration.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

From what the readers can tell? Aay'han: Mournful Celebration because it has a clear end; it is after Order 66, so the damage has been done, and now it is time to recuperate. Nightmare for Others, Dreams for the Self ends off pretty early in the war, meaning I haven't gone over with the readers what happens. However, when I can update Nightmare for Others, I know how it will continue. And, there's gonna be some angst, but other things that will make up for Anakin's poor little life.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Not yet. Though, I get a lot of comments asking me to write Cody-wan instead of, say, ObiRex.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do. I just didn't get a chance to write any for Batakin.

10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?

No, and I don't particularly care for it, either. There's some Universes that I'd love a crossover, but I'd be picky as hell. I'd love to write a TCW and Transformers crossover!!!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No, I ain't important enough. Either is my works.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Just like Inky, I sort of did? Batakin was the love-brain child of @spacingstars and I. We were supposed to work on it together, however, I got possessive, and they were also busy with work. It ended up easier for me to just write it myself. Mournful Celebration was an event gift, and I used some things from our private roleplay together. Does that make it a co-author?

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

Again, I'm like Inky, that it depends on what my interest is. In TCW, Rexwalker has risen to the top of my OTP list, and that is entirely unexpected. I came in with a very different ship that I've mostly abandoned due to just... not vibing with its community. ObiRex is still so dear to my heart, and survives in a better state than say... other ships I'm still a registered with the manifest. But, Rexwalker rose to the top. It tickles all my required ish-es. I love the potential for intrigue, for defiance of the narrative, the "solution" to so many problems found in simple places, and boyish cuteness.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

A few that will never see the light of day because I lost interest. For the most part, I keep my WIPs down to a low. Once a WIP will no longer be finished, it isn't a WIP; it is a dropped project, and it is okay to drop them.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Long plots, contextual detail, world-building, dialogue, characterization...

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

There's some grammar things I'm weak as thinning cheap denim. I wouldn't call it a weakness, but I am not the author for anyone if they want concise, short stories.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Painful. I'd rather not. I don't like it because I'm trying to figure out the best way to convey to the reader what it translates. Including Mando'a is hard enough as it is.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Uhhh... I think a tiny little anime fandom called The Slayers. None of it will be found ever again. It has been lost to all time.

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

Star Wars: Come From Water, which is unpublished. I am still working on it!
