Writing Meme

I was tagged by @paperclippages and @quinnlocke !! Thanks a ton for the tags; I really enjoy doing these!

What is your total word count on AO3?

It’s sitting right at 79,600 believe it not. I really can’t believe I’ve written that much in the past four months. (With like 15k sitting in drafts, too.)

How often do you write?

Everday, with a few off days to recoup! I try to write between 800~1400 words a day, not including editing or outlining. Sometimes I write more or less than that, though. Depends on how I’m feeling that day.

Do you have a routine for writing?

Yes! Most of the time, I set aside time right after walking my dog to write. My process starts with brainstorming, which is basically just me getting an idea, putting it into this giant google doc I have for ideas, and then moving on. Sometimes they get written, sometimes they don’t. Next stage is outlining (only for multichaptered fics, though some of my one-shots did get an outline) and I try to have at least a few chapters figured out in advance so I can make sure I get pacing and foreshadowing done right. Then, when the time I’ve set aside to write comes along, I draft the next thing in my update schedule. Drafting normally takes a few days since my chapters are normally longer than 1.4k. After I finish drafting, I let it sit for a few days, edit, and then, if it’s a project that I have a beta on, send it to one of them. I like to give them at least 3-5 days before posting day to work on it, though with Mo, I generally give her 1-3 weeks. I edit according to the feedback I get, and then bam! I post!

What are your favorite kinks/ tropes/ pairings?

Kinks: UM. *cough* I don’t really talk about that stuff much, but (kiddies close your ears) overstimulation and multiple orgasms

Tropes: Found Family, Found Family, Found Family, Found Family, Found Family, Found Family, Found Family, and Families of Choice. Oh, and did I mention Found Family?

Pairings: Ummm Soukoku, Sormik, SyaoranxSakura, OzxAlice, UtenaxAndy, CoconaxPapika, Yullen, and probably a whole bunch others I’m missing

Do you have a favorite fic of yours?

I really like Escapism, Beautiful Moon, and Petals and Thorns, for different reasons! Escapism is probably the most fun to write, Beautiful Moon was where I first dipped my toes into exploring some of the emotional depth of soukoku as a writer and not a reader, and Petals and Thorns is a 10k fic I did for an event centered around a female character, so like, I did it because I knew not a lot of people would and I’m proud of how it turned out.

Your fic with the most kudos?

Uggggh it’s Teddy Bear. That’s a one-shot romance fic that was the first thing I’d written in like a year, and I’m still mad at it for having the most kudos.

Anything you don’t like about your writing?

I find descriptions hard to write, and my wording and phrasing can be really awkward at times. Thank the stars for my betas, who tend to catch a lot of that stuff. I really appreciate them ;~; Oh, and I use a lot of telling over showing, and while I can do it decently, I’ve been trying to balance the two a little more

Now something you do like (about your writing)?

Character writing! I’ve always been good at exploring characters, whether through dialog or actions, at least from what I’ve been told. It’s my favorite thing to write, as well. As for other strengths, I’m not entirely sure, but I’m told my prose is engaging?

I’m gonna be tagging @iiinuuu @skeletoncloset @eegghhh @pinqqou and @exeron , if any of you guys would like to do this! Only if you want to, though!
