twenty questions for fic writers
tagged by no one. I saw @icescrabblerjerky do it and i want to talk about myself
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
31 but one of them is pictures
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
47,602 I am real small fish
3. What fandoms do you write for?
on Ao3 I have Good Omens, RQG and The Old Guard. back on ff.net I had some Sherlock BBC and The Arrow CW, I also have bits and scraps of ATLA and many thoughts about 9 1 1 and Assassin's Creed (Ezio Era) but none of that has seen the light of day (yet)
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Let it Snow Good Omens Kudos: 652
Outcasts always Mourn RQG Kudos: 184
Too Important a Thing RQG Kudos: 154
Blow out a Candle, light a Flame RQG Kudos: 153
Aftertaste RQG Kudos: 133
Let it Snow is in some kind of collection i get kudos for it basicalyl every day still especially since GO2 came out.
5. Do you respond to comments?
Only if there's a question or I want to clarify something. I think it bloats the comment count and i want to see how many comments i actually have.
I eat every single one though. Comments are EVERYTHING to me
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Most of Wilde Week 2020 was pretty angsty. I'd say Colours fade, Clothes rip (RQG) probably. maybe Bad Ideas (Good Omens) too but a different angst
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Let it Snow is pure fluff with a little angst in the middle.
All is Well IS pure fluff ok yea that one I think.
most of my fics, as angsty as they get, end well.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
closest thing I got was someone correcting me on a GO that Crowley does eat sometimes I knew that if read the book. Which I did and decided for that fic it was cuter if he didnt.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
there's an attempt deep deep in my markdown files of me trying to write some wholesome smut. It did not work out. I'll stick to fading to black and leave the porn to people more skilled than me.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I don't really do crossovers. I don't read them except very specific circumstances either.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that I know of. I hope not
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
not yet. I have translated one though. Privately for a friend.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
nope. I am a dictator on my ship I'm a lone wolf I don't play well with others etc etc edgy shit (I've talked to people about their fics being a Rubber Duck and I yelled AU ideas back and forth on discord servers but no "actual writing" yet)
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Give me Pining, give me seemingly unrequited but it isn't, give me fake arrogance and pretending to be someone you're not as a shield and someone else looking right through it and I'm happy. Zoscar my beloved, Aziraphale and Crowley my beloved.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Aftertaste. one day I swear. but it's been so long it's like gnawing at a brick wall. it's only the finale that will make it all ok too.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Angst. I love wringing characters out and dig my salty fingers into their wounds and make them sad and hurt them where it hruts most.
I also think I'm ok at getting their voices right
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
the actual writing. i just... dont write. finishing writing. aftertaste one day I'll come for you etc.
for real though Pacing is hard. when do I show and when do I tell also, how much movement do i need around a dialogue?
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
be careful you know what you're doing. I'd feel confident having someone speak german (since i am german) and I know who to ask for a couple of other languages, but treat it like britpicking treat it like culture picking. make sure it's actually what you want to say and what someone who speaks that language would say.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
BBC Sherlock. I was a Sherlolly bitch. don't @ me. I have paid for my sins.
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
Outcasts always Mourn is definitely one of my favourites. I love diving deep into a character and peeling them like an onion and making things worse.
Blow out a Candle, light a Flame is another one. jsut because I loved the stupid never have I ever bit. and I still want that candle tattoo.
I'm tagging anyone who has ever written anything no matter if it's published. talk about yourself!

I actually adore the way the players introduce anachronisms like LOLOMG or memes into the world in ways that guarantee that theyre going to stick around through the campaign, and Alex cant even shut them down bc then hed have to confirm that there are memes in-world.

RQG 154
Wherein red stringing occurs. Liveblog under the cut:
 Not much hype this week, just a lot of being quietly thrilled RSB got the beginning of the episode dedicated to us. I hope the rest of the fandom doesn't feel like Bryn plays favorites. Its sweet he back reads and answers questions but its nothing he wouldn't do in official. Last week was such a gift that I think it cut down on hype for this week because even if (Alex forbid) they immediately time skipped to the end of the week, quarantine still got us amazing backstory and character moments. Unless Alex gets truly desperate and has someone attack the inn or infects both the new kids, the characters are safe from physical danger so no fear hype either.
Yes I want follow up on that Hamid & Zolf conversation: I am so proud of him for calling Zolf out on being patronizing (I can't believe I didn't see earlier with his family, of course that's the aspect that got to him) and they need to figure out how to deal with the chain of command. Zolf already seems more willing to get input on his decisions so its mostly losing the attitude when things happen like Hamid casting lights. Yes I also want Cel to talk about themself more, but I am fine with waiting until they aren't locked up with no privacy. Azu's backstory is coming out at a decent pace and Helen spoils us so not even worried about not hearing more about her becoming a paladin. I am curious if Alex thinks its worth bonding with the new kids and this better not be a set up for splitting the party. So enough pre episode babbling, final bets on if they play with the brorb now or wait until they can take it to Cel's? Gotta love that music. Oh they do want to get back to things! Listen to how fast they're talking. That's nice I wouldn't have thought they'd be as excited about the pure RP backstory and character bits as they get about a boss fight. No Alex neither players nor fans want to skip anything. I will concede that further conversation was unlikely to be productive that night so the morning makes sense. There was only one corridor! Barnes is still using the stairs to get some space. Some might see it as a sign he is infected or afraid of infection but honestly not wanting to puppy pile with a group as tight knit as the party especially while they are shaking out their issues is valid. Azu checks on Carter who passed out drunk face down. Zolf is sleeping in. With Hamid's family issues, Bryn being so careful to specify he has a healthy relationship with alcohol every time makes it a lot easier to not tense up listening. Oh My God thanks Bryn! I know he said the beginning of the episode was dedicated to us but I was expecting a throw away line not a proper red stringing scene! I am grinning so big right now. Azu is watching Hamid Cel is sleeping curled up with the sealed bottle of elvish mead. Because Lydia is as much a criminal as Bryn just plays a longer game. Speaking of criminal, Ben really plays up this rivalry from Azu & Zolf covering similar roles and its a really close second to the rank thing between him & Hamid in character arcs I'm interested in. I think both are aiming towards a happy ending but no idea how the middle is going to play out. I don't think it's aiming for a "this party isn't big enough for two of us". Alex is encouraging this. This is great just going to get a clip of this rather than attempt to transcribe on first listen. Bryn/Hamid is laying this out so clearly: The knowns, assumed, and questions are being labeled nicely. (I wonder if our little discord helped him refresh his memory so he'd be able to match how much Hamid would remember in character.) Bryn also goes 3rd person? Hope it isn't a stress tell like Alex. Yes Bryn is obsessed and as a listener its is utterly charming when he shows up in RSB or Official and is unabashedly as big a fan of the show as us. Zolf wakes up to Hamid red stringing. Thank goodness he isn't letting security concerns lead him to putting the brakes on. I know there was some concern that if one of them was infected sharing they could pass on anything they talk about. As long as they don't get too specific about classified info, using the time and frankly just having a project to distract them is a good idea. Plus in my mind Hamid always looks so hurt when Zolf pulls on the reigns. Lilliana is not allowed to be the connecting thread. Oh seed is finally being addressed. Aw Hamid handed Cel a glass of water. It really is the little things I love about this show: 1)told you he has a knack for leadership: anticipating the needs of team members even as they diverge from his own 2)He does see Cel as a team member not just someone he worked with, you don't hear him cooing over Carter 3)does it quickly then moves on, because as a gentleman he thinks it's what anyone would do. 4)speaking of, I wonder that Azu & Zolf haven't done rounds. its not like they have anything to save the spells for and the field is only in the cell.
Svalbard! Do not taunt us, does Ben have any idea how much we want to see the science dwarves of the north? Um hmm, vindi-fing-cation. I know it wasn't exactly a huge insight but the mixture of science and various schools of magic is key to my theory on what “Erasing The Line” refers to. Oh Frankenstein in this world is such a concept. Plus it makes Mary Shelley canon. Aw Alex thought we'd never get to this bit of lore. Thank you Blue Veins info being given as whole instead of bits & pieces.  Ooh and Barnes is taking it. Time to get a sense of who he is when he's not swinging a sword. Navel engagement with Blue Veins? Hive mind! Minimize harm? Not dead. Paladins are complicated, maybe a rumor, maybe transfer of allegiance. Cyborg kraken Cyborg Zolf Oh splitting the kraken to make more Barnes just checks out as the conversation goes over his head Called it I told you it was a sensible test. (ETA Zolf’s fart test) (ETA: Re: people with Blue Veins) No lies, no embarrassment, very literal. Other instances? Riots London->Paris->Europe Not safe to go to London If you're in their presence you are highly likely to be infected, mass infections,  not passed by corpses? Memetic effect? Tick tock. Ben and Alex have one of their friendly tussles as Carter decides its a me may Yes he did! And Helen name dropped us! I know I'm just a little part of the brigade but I'm going to to be smug for at least a week that we are so good at what we do one of the actual players looked to us. Hey Lydia is welcome too. Paperwork time! Yeah yeah I knew security was going to be used to undermine Hamid. At least it isn't Zolf and they aren't trying to make him look rash for the whole idea. Getting new info from the paperwork is a bit different than talking about what they already know. Make the place bigger? Nice spell Zolf. If this leads to Animorphs again... Oh I was thinking more like a big horde somewhere you could check stone in & out of a stone plane of existence ties in with elemental lore right? Seriously "Cure Hangover" isn't a spell? Or do Zolf & Azu just not approve of using their magic that way? Intoxicants have to fall under mild poisoning, right? Do the studying later in the week? That's a fair compromise; even if Zolf is still presenting it as an order he is explaining instead of giving his advice or IDK putting it to a vote. I'm not positive but I think Lydia is suggesting they go over their character sheets in character. Alex is not amused. Lydia sounds pleased with herself. Perception check? Azu hears someone knocking something over upstairs. Azu tries to not wake Carter as she listens at the door. It had to be her foot in his mouth. Multiple people in the inn. Carter tries to pick the lock. Azu & Carter start bickering. Carter is perception penalty. The inn is being searched Zolf suggests they wake Wilde up by making a racket. Cel hears the door being unlocked. Voices speaking muffled Japanese. Cel just shouts "Hey what's going on?". Zolf joins in. Azu uses her armor to make noise. Thump of someone hitting the floor! Wilde's voice! Lots of feet? Yes Helen, what if it is the kobolds? Oh god what if Skraak checked on them and found out they were in cages underground? Poor guy would think Wilde is their Shoin. Bryn clarifies Hamid shouts out to Wilde Zolf forbids them leaving the basement Cel shields themself. Azu goes for her armor Barnes is keeping Carter from going for the lock again. Hamid casts Fear (!oh that’s a new one isn't it) I assume #jail is already full of angst criminals connecting Hamid's bully days and him going from S1!Hamid scared of every fight to now casting fear as a way to control his enemies). Also these better be his enemies because I still don't put it past Alex to set us up for a tragic misunderstanding. Dragon roar and dragon face is how he casts fear Ok Rusty Quill LOTR night sounds awesome Zolf helps Azu put on her armor The other feet flee Zolf cries out for Wilde as loud as he physically can but still won't let them risk infecting Japan by leaving quarantine early. Oh if that ain't a fic and a half. A set of small claws! It is a kobold End the episode with the kobolds?

Audio
Hello I’ve clipped another funny RQG moment, this time from episode 154!!
Audio Transcript:
Zolf: We could have got it by talking to Shoin. Because a spell, you speak words to impart your will on the mind of another as well you know, so you can, theoretically, like transmit something like this if it were the right kind of thing, like a mind altering affect, through words, which I’m going to call a memetic affect because it’s just in my head and so, I’ve just invented that.
Alex: I don’t like it. That sounds well involved.
Zolf: Memes.
Azu: So, it’s a... meme?
Zolf: Like a thought virus, potentially.
Cel: Like when you see a really cute cat and then you have to tell everyone else about that really cute cat.
Zolf: Exactly, exactly. Or if you see someone fall over...
Cel: Ah yeah.
Zolf: And it’s great, and then you tell everyone...
Cel: And then you replicate it.
Zolf: Yeah, and they, they hear about it down the grapevine but you’ve got to make sure those stories are like less than eight seconds long otherwise people just really lose interest.
Cel: Right, and easily repeatable.
Zolf: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Azu: Or when someone has like a good song.
Zolf: Yeah.
Cel: Yeah.
Zolf: Yeah, like when you get it stuck in your head like an earworm.
Barnes: What’s an earworm?
Zolf: Not a worm that goes in your ear. A theoretical, metaphorical worm...
Azu: But there are worms that literally...
Hamid: ... go in your ear and steal your magic and stuff.
Azu: Yeah.
Zolf: Yeah, no, yeah, those are...
Cel: Really, you should think of a different word.
Carter: Meme. (pronounced: “Meh-May”)
Zolf: Meme. (pronounced: “Meem”)
Carter: What’s the difference? We’re inventing words.
Zolf: Yeah, well, I invented it, it’s called a meme. (”Meem”)
Carter: It’s a stupid word.
Zolf: Well, I think it’s a great word and I think meme (”Meh-may”) is a stupid. So, whatever.
Carter: Well, I’m gonna use meme. (”Meh-may”)
Alex: -says Carter.
Zolf: Yeah, you would.
Lydia: You’re the sort of person that looks at someone repeating an action multiply and says, “Jif”.

Vax, Percy and Scanlan vs. a door that’s not even locked, just barred by a kinda heavy thing of wood.
On their side: An ineffective use of Dimension Door, a gnome too small to lift up some wood, Percy’s never-before-used sword that draws its first blood by cutting Scanlan when they all try to lever the door open with it by hanging on it on both sides with it shoved through the crack, an admirable determination to follow this line of action through and NOT go in the broken window literally feet from them, a half-elf that does finally climb in through the window to help the gnome lift the piece of wood but is also too wimpy, a MAGICALLY SUMMONED UNSEEN SERVANT FROM ANOTHER PLANE THAT TRIES TO LIFT WITH THEM AND ROLLS A FUCKING FOUR, and finally, born out of desperation after like twenty minutes, three wasted spells and four points of self-inflicted slashing damage, a completely overkill use of Bigby’s Hand to flick the wooden bar away like a toothpick.
On the door’s side: TECHNICALLY NOTHING.

Imogen failing her wisdom save on the thought reading attempt early on, and having to spend the rest of the day in a state of what pretty much amounts to constantly trying to avoid auditory sensory overload is honestly so weirdly relateable.
She keeps trying to steer everyone to the secluded corners of the tavern and away from the crowds because she can’t seem to turn off hearing the barrage of thought input from the people around, and even says to Laudna afterwards that she had trouble following the actual conversation at the table because of it. Like, girl I feel you. Try being autistic and sitting in a crowded restaurant on a day where you’re not completely at 100% and it’s pretty much the exact same experience.

I was relistening to rqg 154 because it had a lot of of lore stuff and I noticed they also had a number of pretty bad knowledge rolls that ep and it’s so satisfying that now they actually rolled well. Like, Cel got a knowledge: nature roll to do with the seed in 154 but rolled a 2 and I’m pretty we finally got to hear what they missed out on back then. I still have no real idea how it all ties together but I'm very excited to be getting more and more pieces of the puzzle
