It's a long list of writer asks so I asked a bunch: 4, 6, 15, 16, 29, 30, 50, 73, and 77!

AHH! Teej you spoil me <3

4: How do you choose which fics to write?

i dont. my heart wants to write one thing but my brain takes a hard left and never cooperates with me :')

6: What’s the last line you wrote?

for BitB:

“Hey man, I just work in the shadows. Same as you.” He looks sideways at the sound of someone calling his name. “I’ll see ya in a bit.”

15: What’s your favorite time to write?

morning. my brain is fresh and ready to go.

16: Do you write by hand, on your phone, or on your laptop?

laptop 100%. notes get written on my phone but i absolutely can't be serious on my phone.

29: What’s something about your writing that you’re proud of?

uh. i guess dialogue. my favorite thing to read is character stories and i think that is reflected a lot in my writing. i often read aloud dialogue that i've written so it makes sense and i obsess over the little details. i know that's not everyone's cup of tea, and i do feel like it gets overly fluffy at times, but yeah. dialogue and descriptions.

30: How much do you edit your fics?  Do you edit as you write or wait until you finish the first draft?

i perform the cardinal sin of editing as i go. i physically can't write a rough draft. ive tried. im in my 30s now. it will never change lmao. and the editing never stops. if i choose to sit on a fic or chapter, i can look over it for days and find things wrong with it/add on, whatever. i also love stressing myself out and re-reading it after it's posted and editing after the fact pfft.

50: How would you describe your writing style?

inconsistent haha. especially my tumblr fics vs. my ao3 stuff. someone else would havta tell me if i have a certain style. like, could you pick me out in a crowd of 5 other authors? not sure.

73: What do you tend to get complimented on the most about your writing?

the attention to detail. the specifics. which i appreciate because, as mentioned above, i tend to draw things out and get fixated on the details. thank you everyone for encouraging this behavior lol

77: Why do you enjoy writing fanfiction?

i just love writing my OTPs getting into shenanigans. but also the community it builds. i love interacting with authors/readers, i love sharing ideas, and it's just a part of fandom culture that's always been very near and dear to my heart.

fanfic asks!
