2. What fanfic do you wish you got more response on?

maaan i feel bad with this one cause like no ones OBLIGATED to respond to a fic but. probably 'vice vermin virtue'? it's the first newsies fic i posted after coming back to the fandom so it's not the BEST written but i do still really like it. i like taking pretty things that are easy to make sense of and making them weird as hell. how would you accommodate certain wings. what would the sort of Wing Hierarchy be. how would it affect status, how would it affect your everyday treatment. what kind of rules are there with wings and how would a person break those rules. and then of course the character studies you can draw from that - davey having very delicate and easily crushable wings, and therefore always believing he must keep himself unnoticed for his own safety. jack with ugly common wings that he just REFUSES to see anything good about, and then finally allowing himself to be loved so thoroughly, inside and out. etc etc. wingfics have definitely had their time in the sun tho and i understand why they're falling out of popularity - maybe if i'd posted it when i actually had the idea it'd have more response? but my writing style in 2019 was a hot mess. still i'm gonna keep at it when i have the time i have so many ideas. spot with bat wings and barney peanuts with roller pigeon wing-deformities live in my head rent free forever.

9. What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?

my favourite scene that i have ever written for anything ever is the vivisection scene from 'i am not a fool entire'. no contest. i say this about a lot of fics but that scene truly is my baby. it's probably the first thing i wrote that i looked back on and went 'oh - that's GOOD.' i saw some snippets of jasper barlow and donnie's storyline in the IDW comics and i became obsessed - i was already deep in the tmnt2012 sauce at the time, just because i found it a fun and silly childhood experience that i never got to have as a kid, but finding the IDW comics and realizing oh fuck. wow. there's intense shit in this. there's longlasting trauma. there's people struggling with their humanity and their identity. it made me wonder how that might work if i projected that onto 2012 donatello, since the 2012 version, while dark, is still a kids cartoon and follows kids cartoon logic, in that none of the truly traumatic events (eg everything that happened to donnie ever) really stick. i had a lot of little wips and fic thoughts at the time but IANAFE was the first fic where i was like 'okay. okay. i WANT to post this. i feel like i can post this.', and i hadn't felt that way in years - and it all started with me deciding 'today i will make a fifteen year old turtle suffer the most traumatising experience i can think of For Funzies'
