My answers!

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

1,595,711

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

(1,132 Kudos) Secrets of the Hidden Leaf, (801 Kudos) Monster, (610 Kudos) NaruHina Month Collection 2022, (538 Kudos) Prey, and (292 Kudos) Butterfly 💕

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

Yes I do 💕There's a lot of reasons, but the two most important are 1) They keep me writing and make me really happy and I can't not reply. I love connecting with others through my stories, and that's really my biggest draw to posting publicly, the human connection and fun conversations that spawn from engaging💕2) very few people, compared to how many actually read your fic, leave comments, which can be really disappointing and discouraging for a writer, even for me and I've been writing for years. So for the people that do take the time out to say something, I have to let them know how much I appreciate them making that effort 💖

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

I think it's a tie between A Night of Firsts and Flipping the Script? Maybe Eternal should be in here too? Fuck Around And Find Out-Literally ends pretty angsty too🤔 I've written a lot of stories, and it's hard to pick which one 😅

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

This is another hard one to pick, I have so many that end happy (though technically they all have a happy ending) ummm, another tie I think? Surprise! and Spellbound, ummm, maybe A Day In The Life of the Uzumaki Family too.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Yep, not a lot thankfully, but it pops up.

9. Do you write smut?

I rarely write anything but smut 🤭I'm a proud smut writer!

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

No, never.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Yes, twice.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes. Butterfly translated into Português brasileiro by the amazing kilandra327! You can find it here Borboleta 🦋

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

Yep!

14. What's your all time favorite ship?

Naruto/Hinata! NaruHina forever!💕

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

None! I will finish them all, they are all my babies. Idc how long it takes! Leave a laptop by my grave and watch me finish em'! 😤

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

I'm fine with it, especially if it helps immersion!

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Inuyasha 🥰

20. Favorite fic you've ever written?

Ummmmmmm, I literally can't make a choice, lol. They are all my favorite in different ways. Top 5 though? Prey, Monster, Butterfly, A Cure For Love and Ravenous.

Those are all my answers! Thanks for the ask!

Gonna tag some folks @mrs-messy @bunny-hoodlum @dayseternal-blog @wickermayne @powerful-niya

✅️🤭& tada (my phone apparently can't make that one???)

✅️ is answered here!

🤭Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?

Not really. Law? Trafalgar D. Water Law? Haha. I do tag chromafic, chromafics, chromalami on tumblr, just in case anyone is searching, or they want to filter out. 'Angst & Humour," "Attempt at Humour," "Hurt & Comfort," and it's poor cousin, "Hurt no comfort." "Mind the tags." etc. "Dead dove do not eat," as in, could traumatise for sure, on some of the dark stuff.

🎉 What leads you to consider a fic a success?

That's a good question. I think I can let anxiety rest when I get at least one comment. But having started with long fics, I know there is often chapter after chapter after chapter with no comments, so for self-care, a wider form of gauging success is needed. Like, folks often say a ratio of 10% kudos to hits is good, but if you look at most fanfic, the range is about 3-5%, and on multi-chapters, the kudos ratio rate will generally be lower, even if it looks higher. You have to be aware of what you're writing too (rare pair, gen, smut, no smut, etc.)

So, once I've fought past my self-destructive urge to slash and burn, hits, for one, can gauge success (I know not everyone counts them, but you can have a dark fic with a ton of hits, and not many kudos or comments in proportion, but you know folks are reading due to the private bookmarks and hits), public bookmarks (private ones count too, but you can't really know why someone bookmarked. You can't with public either, unless the book-marker leaves some notes, but you know it means something to someone).

At the same time, I've had fics with 70 hits or so, and 1 or 2 kudos, if that, and I've taken them down, cos they're obviously not vibing with readers. Ultimately, I guess, if I still like it when I come back to read it. And if it meant something to someone it's successful. I have some fics up that I might've pulled down by now because they could do with an overhaul, or maybe they are far too indulgent, but comments, bookmarks, etc. let me know they do mean something to some, so they remain up.

Extrinsic validation can be a successful public reception, but the way I feel about the fic is probably more important in the long run. (Convoluted answer, sorry!)

Thank you for the ask! ✅ 🍦😈 🤭 🎉 answered.

If you want to ask, the list is here, and I might even let Bepo do a bit of fic ask answers moonlighting!

20 Questions: Writer’s Edition

Tagged by @muttpeeta @nadja-antipaxos @rayondeneige @hot-auntie-dany & @jupiterix thank you 🤍

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

41 oop...

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

329727 not bad not bad

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

1 so far, which is jonerys obvi 😚

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

For the Cameras

Meet Me Halfway

My One

The Night Train to Winterfell

Two Days

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

Absolutely. Because as a reader I get super giddy and excited when an author replies to me, so I can only hope I have the same effect on my readers 🥰 Plus they took actual time out of their day to leave me that comment. Replying is the least I can do!

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I really thought about this and nothing comes to mind. I think that somehow I've managed to not have angsty endings? Don't get me wrong, I love angst, and I'll bury you in it. But I usually resolve it in the ending so that you still get a sort of HEA. I think season 8 of GoT left me so jaded, I wouldn't want my fics to have that kind of painful ending. At most I'll do an open ending. It might also stem from the fact that this year I accidentally read some fics with very angsty endings and honestly one of them was so sad it left me pretty much a mess and I didn't trust that author again 😂 so as much as I love angst...I try to not write angsty endings.

7. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

It has to be ...you'll find the real thing instead —it was a pretty cheesy ending 🤭

8. Do you write crossovers? If yes, what’s the craziest thing you’ve written?

I adore them...but they have to be done right, you know. The craziest one I did has to be Scorching Bloodlust because I don't think anyone wanted A World of Warcraft Jonerys AU yet I decided it needed to exist anyway 😂

9. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Unfortunately it has become a rite of passage in this fandom... If I remember correctly it was on two fics. The fic that attracted a lot of incels and mean comments was Suburban Thrills. Apparently some people were mad at me for writing Dany as being married to Dr*go in this modern AU. I even got called a "r*pe apologist* for it... when in reality they were mostly mad that Jon was just a pool boy, while Dany was the rich and powerful one. The other thing they were mad about was that the fic contains a Dany/Dr*go smut scene, which apparently was hotter than the jonerys one 🤣. Allegedly. There was this comment that legit sounded more like "how dare you make me find them hot???" Seems like some people don't understand the concept of voyeurism 😃...

The other fic that got me hate was Inevitable. Again this fic has Dany being with someone else before Jon, and obviously this is wrong since how dare she even look at a man who's not Jon Snow 🙄🙄.

You can clealry see a theme with the hate comments I was getting on both fics.

10. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

Do I? DO I??? *looks at the numerous pwp fics I've written* all kinds tbh. I have a short list of squicks. The rest is fair game. Check out the tags on my fics, I like trying new things in fics all the time 🤭

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I hope not. Not that I know of, in any case. I have friends in other fandoms who had entire fics posted on other websites and it is the most horrible thing to experience as a writer. There was however a situation maybe a little over a year ago, but it turned out to be an entirely different thing on top of low key stealing my fic lmao. Such a wild story, the proof is somewhere on my blog... I still can't believe that happened 🥴 seems like a lifetime ago.

Now, if we're talking about fic concepts and certain elements... yep 🙃🙃🙃🙃 (and no, I don't mean tropes). Lately t's become an entire thing across the board and unfortunately not much can be done about it. Which is sad in such a small fandom, especially when I see how things are in bigger ones. Guess some people think that just because it's fanfic, everything is fair game, yet they forget we all have our grain of originality we put into our fics. Just because we're all writing fics doesn't mean you're less of a dick if you take something you know someone else came up with in that fandom and pass it off as your own. The concept of giving credit as a courtesy seems to have been lost, along with so many other things that we all thought were common sense and fandom etiquette. As always, fanfic writing is shunned to the side and considered as the least original thing in fandoms, when it's not the case at all. But that's a bigger debate, too long and complicated for this post. At the end of the day, it is what it is, I guess 🙃 but it has definitely turned me off some of the very things I used to love

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, I don't think our fandom does this, it's too small for it.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yep, quite a few 🤭:

For the Cameras with @muttpeeta

The Wrong Impression of the Right One with @tomakeitbeautifultolive & @thescarletgarden1990

Moonlight with @tomakeitbeautifultolive

If its the last thing I do with @thescarletgarden1990

Blood Runs Cold with @tomakeitbeautifultolive

The girl in my story has always been you with @thescarletgarden1990

The Perks of Being a Good Boy with @thescarletgarden1990

14. What’s your all time favourite ship?

It's too hard to pick, but jonerys is pretty much my obsession and they consume most of my thoughts

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

Oof I really wanna try to finish them all!

16. What’s your writing strengths?

Aesthetics. Setting up a certain mood or vibe. I'm pretty good at descriptions in general tbh. Oh and I've been told I'm good at transition scenes.

17. What’s your writing weaknesses?

Dialogue 😭. I always feel like I can never be as good as others, so when it comes to scenes that are important to me, dialogue intimidates me. I always work 4x as much on dialogue than I do on anything else.

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fic?

Love it. I'd do it more often tbh if I knew others liked it too!

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Jonerys 😌

20. What’s your favourite fic you’ve written?

I cheated and picked 2 absolute faves:

Paint My Soul Anew —maybe because I'm very happy with how the prompt turned out. I think I managed to pack so much plot in such a short fic.

And, of course, our souls, intertwined —there are just so many things I love about this fic I'll never stop loving it tbh 🤭
