20 questions for fic writers - tagged by the fantastic @icedteaandoldlace
How many works do you have on AO3?
75
What's your total AO3 word count?
4,423,957
What fandoms do you write for?
Glee.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A Fling Before the Ring
Pipe Dream
I'll Be Okay
Leading Man
Because You're Mine, I'll Play the Line
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Usually, yes. There was a period of time when I was posting three WIPs at the same time during which I did not keep up with responding like I like to. I enjoy reading comments and interacting with the people who read my fics.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
None of my fics have angsty endings.
What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All of my fics have happy endings.
Do you get hate on fics?
I have gotten a few unpleasant comments, but nothing really terrible enough that I would call it "hate".
Do you write smut?
No.
Do you write crossovers?
No.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I'm not sure that it counts as "stolen", but some of my fics were posted on Wattpad, but I asked for them to be removed.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not that I know of, but it would be cool if someone wanted to do it.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes. I would enjoy doing it again sometime.
What's your all-time favorite ship to write for?
Kurt/Happiness
I don't really consider myself to be a shipper. I call myself a "what if-er". Kurt is my favorite character, and when I write, I pair him with a variety of people in a way that he is in a healthy relationship and gets to live out some of his goals and dreams. I pose the question of "What if this had happened differently?" And I rewrite the storyline from that point.
What's A WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I don't have a good answer to this one. I have quite a few ideas and a few things started, but I really don't know which ones I'll work on next or just never work on at all.
What are your writing strengths?
Dialogue and details.
What are your writing weaknesses?
Since I only write fan fics, I think my overall writing weakness would be world-building since I only write within the confines of what makes sense with the show.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I usually just indicate what language the speakers are speaking and then use italics for the dialogue that's being spoken in another language.
First fandom you wrote for?
Glee. It's the only fiction writing I've ever done.
Favorite fic you've written?
That's like picking your favorite pet. I can't do it.

What are your five favorite fanfics? Do you read fics from other fandoms? If so, which ones?
What is your favorite type of weather?
Do you have a favorite genre of books?
Do you have any pets? If not, what type would you like to have if you could?
If you came to a sleepover, what would be the most unusual item you would bring with you?
If you could travel anywhere on Earth safely, where would you visit?
What is one food you love and one you cannot stand?
Sorry for the wait, I'm finally answering.
1. It's hard to choose just five... I mean, just your works are going to take up all five spots and it still won't be enough 😂 Lately, I started downloading works I love so much I wouldn't want to lose if something happens. And there's 182 stories just in Glee fandom in my downloads. Also, yes, I do read other fandoms. Only Teen Wolf right now though.
So, I'm going to try and choose five favourite short stories (meaning less than 2000 words, because otherwise it's too much and I can't choose anything) from Glee that I reread the most.
A world to rediscover by hundredindecisions
Chocolate-covered dork by JWMelmoth (this and other Kadam short stories, like Going up and Help wanted)
High heeled shoes by DanaNick82 (there's also the whole series of Glee drabbles by this author that I love)
Warriors by Believs(EnbyNeti)
What are brothers for? by daftydraw
There are also 2000-5000 words list:
A venti of prevention by elledelajoie (which, by the way, LOVE the word play in the name)
A day in life by CriminalGleePotter (I love the first chapter with the film, it's just... delicious)
Birds of a feather by SilverGrayAndMauve
The one who waits by deliriumbubbles
The Poltergeist by vcg73
Yeah, okay. I'll stop myself here. Or else there's going to be a list of all 182 favourites 😅
2. I love any kind of weather as long as I'm not going outside. Otherwise, the perfect weather for me is around 22-25°C, sunny but not hot, and with a light wind. And when it's just after the rain, so the air still smells fresh, like earth and wet asphalt.
3. I love fantasy books, mystery and adventure. If it's all three in one - perfect!
4. I don't have any pets, but my sister and her boyfriend got themselves a cat, and now I'm a proud auntie 😌💜 I would like to have a cat myself, though.
5. Hmmm... Does my knitting count? When I go to my friends overnight, I usually don't take a lot of stuff, and this is the most unusual thing I take with me.
6. Anywhere! Everywhere around the world! Or, I wish I could say that, but I do realise that I'm more of a stay-at-home person. I want to see the world, but I hate going to any kind of new places by myself. Though, if we're talking about SAFE travel anywhere, then I would visit my grandma in Ukraine. I haven't seen her in person since the summer of 2021 and at this point I already lived in Poland for almost 4 years.
7. I love meat. Any kind of meat: beef, pork, chicken, rabbit, turkey, quail, duck etc. I almost perfected my meat cooking skills to 100% and now I can do pretty much anything: soups, stews, goulash, fried, grilled, baked, with vegetables or by itself, with different sauces.
One thing I can't stand though are any kind of cooked onions. If they're not fresh I can't eat them. Not steamed, or fried, or in any dish. No. Just no.
Thanks for the ask and sorry for the long wait 💜

Since I reblogged the post from you...BohRap asks! #4 and #19
4. fav line from the movie?
That’s a tough one.... because I can hardly think ATM lol. Since I’m really drawing a blank ATM I’m going with a moment I don’t see people mention a lot.. At the beginning when he first meets the band and they say they need a new singer... Just the way he puts his hands on his hips and it just like “What about me?” I just LOOOOOOVE it so much lol. Probably not the response you were looking for, but whatever :)
19. a concert/outfit you wished was in the movie?
This is probably really random, but it’s only because I’m a diehard hockey fan, and I would have loved to see Rami strut along stage in tight white shorts and a Montreal Canadiens (NOT my team of choice... but it WAS in Montreal) baseball hat! I know Freddie had lots of iconic looks, but this has got to be a favourite!

The petting zoo would like everyone to know it’s COMPLETELY innocent, and no one can prove otherwise. Though just in case anyone could, they would also like to point out that surely they took the only possible action.

I feel like I've seen this movie under a different name. Is Scott Glenn also in it somewhere?
Yes! It’s also been called Texas in Flames.

vcg73 replied to your post: It’s season three, and I officially have no idea...
LOL. It took me a second to realize you must be watching iZombie and not making a Glee-related comment. :)
I mean, sadly, even though this Blaine has been a drug dealer, forcibly turned people into zombies, has killed homeless teenagers for profit, had sex with women under false pretenses, and is keeping his father at the bottom of a well in cement shoes, he’s still a more likable character than Glee’s Blaine.

Free Kurt Challenge #3
This time, choose any Glee character, or even create an OC if need be, to free Kurt from marrying Blaine in S6, starting from Santana's awful rant in the McKinley hallway.
There's not a lot of need for keeping any of the characters "in character". The season starts with Kurt returning to Lima, where he had spent his whole life planning his escape, only to return to do a work-study program for a musical theater degree by restarting a show choir. Sue is a Klainer. Half of the Warblers live in the McKinley school district. Mr. Schue is coaching VA in Akron, yet lives in Lima still. (These cities are about a 2.5 hour drive from each other.) Blaine is living with Dave and coaching the Warblers. Nothing makes sense.
By the end of October, come up with a way to free Kurt from participating in a double wedding ceremony in a barn in Indiana. I'll add writers and the characters they've chosen once people make their selections. There is no length requirement. Even a drabble will do.
@elledelajoie—Brittany, @samarakurtofsky—Sam, @vcg73—Carole, @thequeensfan1117—Quinn, @pixiealtaira—Madame T & Burt's co-workers

Not Quite ~ Kadam Week 2022 May 1st - 8th
As the title goes I’m not really one to take over an event, I had not been well enough to bug @vcg73 to create a list of prompts for a proper Kadam week this year at a reasonable time.  I know this post won’t be out in time to reasonably think that any people interested could answer it, but I still like to keep up the tribute. Because there is no such things as enough stories Behind the break line all the prompts, please feel free to answer them if they inspire you
Day 1 - Murder Mystery Day 2 - A kiss in bed or as the random generator suggested Kurt giving Adam a kiss before going to work and they are still in bed.  Day 3 - It’s a misquoted day  Kurt: I trust Adam. One of the Apples: You think they know what they're doing? Kurt: I wouldn't go that far. Day 4 -  Don’t ever let anyone make you feel ashamed of who you are, Adam. (because clearly we need some more Kurt appreciating Adam stories) Day 5 -  Everybody dies (it doesn’t have to be angst, there’s so much room for it crack certainly sounds like fun, as zombies and videogames to offer some possible angles) Day 6 -  If you can’t beat them, dress better than them Day 7 - On the opposite side of the Country. From Washington DC to Santa Barbara a day inspired by the following pictures:

I hope you’ll have fun with this as I plan to. Till next time please take care  💜

Rules: Tag ten followers you want to get to know better. thanks for the tag @jwmelmoth
(Nick)name: I wish I was kidding, but in three separate fb messenger chats, with three separate irl friend groups, my nickname has been set to “glee addict”. But please don’t call me that lmao. I go by celeste.
Sexuality: Straight.
Hogwarts house: Ravenclaw. Yeah I’m a nerd. 
Cats or dogs: I don’t own pets. Cats, perhaps?
Current time: Too damn early. 
Fave animal: Snakes. 
When did I make my blog: July 16 2020. Yes I’m new. I had a blog before this in 2014-16 that was not glee related at all, but I deactivated due to personal reasons. I made this new blog because I started writing glee fics on ao3 and wanted to get to know other authors!
Reason for url: Kurt Hummel...duh. I also wanted to keep it the same as my ao3 username because ao3 takes forever to update your username if you want to change it. My ao3 username previously was also antiseblaine because.. well.. ew.. but I figured I should probably not have the pairing I dislike the most in my identifier lmao.
I’ll tag my newest followers: @unhappyending, @vcg73, @pixiealtaira, @chocoholicannanymous and @samarakurtofsky as well as anyone who wants to do this!

vcg73 replied to your post: Just found out there’s a book named “The...
Apparently it’s a self published series, something like 15 stories in 2 years. Definitely fic of some sort.
Oh, I knew it was selfpublished, and I wouldn’t be too surprised if the writer had a background in fic, or just looked at how fanfictions is written.
I was more thinking “what kind of Kurt fic would this be?” :)

vcg73 replied to your photoset “Okay, I think this look works for Dean.”
It is a good look, and I don't normally think he's flattered by facial hair.
I think out of what facial hair he’s had, I like the walrus mustache (from Son of the Morning Star) and this look the best. Otherwise, no, no, it really doesn’t work on him.

Do you know of any fic that centres around Kurt adapting to Carol being around? I feel like it was glossed over in the series and I would love some stories that delve into the forming of a good Kurt/Carol relationship. Thank you!
~~~~~
Here are some that I found for you. Full disclosure; I haven’t read them. - HKVoyage.
Mothers and Martyrdom by Trunks lil' sis 
When push came to shove, in the face of danger, Carole wasn't just his father's new wife, she was Kurt's mother in all the ways that mattered.
Maternal Instinct by vcg73
Carole Hudson looks after Kurt when he stays home sick from school. Just a little not-quite mother and son bonding time. :D
Mother Son Bonding by CorinneLeorrah
Kurt and Carol bond over a What Not to Wear marathon and Carol learns the extent of Kurts bullying.
~~~~~
Scenes from a Westerville Shopping Mall by CarolineShea
The Hudson-Hummel clan goes to the mall to help Kurt pick out a three-month anniversary gift for Blaine. Mayhem ensues! Shamelessly silly fluff.
