Fic Writer Review
I was tagged by the lovely @oceanandarock <3
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
14!
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
379527
3. How many fandoms have you written for?
on ao3, only 3! ouat (swan queen), the walking dead (caryl) and a series of unfortunate events which i am not proud of but i was Going Through Something lol
4. Top five fics by kudos?
1) Never Give Up - this was my first big swan queen fic! but in retrospect i’m not that proud of it. i wrote it when i was 16 and i haven’t been able to bring myself to reread it, but i’m pretty sure it’s quite ableist and problematic. (i have put that disclaimer on it now) 
2) we’re setting fire to our insides for fun - my intermediate multichap. i have mixed feelings about this one - did i have to go so hard on the angst? - but the fact it took me like 2 years to finish BUT I DID still makes me proud lmao 
3) rise and fall - i’ll admit i do like this one still. classic soulmate au one shot set in season 1/2. 
4) all you never say - i guess y’all like my soulmate aus? this one is more of a rambly character study masquerading as a soulmate au tho so 
5) After the End - my current baby! a slow burn AU. v happy this is being well received especially as we are still in the early days. (yes ik the latest chapter is late af but i’m getting there!) 
5. Do you respond to comments? Why/Why not?
always! i try to respond to every single one, sometimes i’ll miss one if it’s small/i’m tired but i try! i think it creates a nice sense of community and it’s great to find out what’s landing/what people want. also it’s so sweet that people take the time to comment and i wanna acknowledge that. 
6. A fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? 
i’m a sucker for happy endings, but between the thunder and the lightning (the asoue one shot) is literally full of canon angst, and i’d say setting fire to our insides has a happy ending but with a lot of bittersweetness & is my angstiest fic overall. 
7. Do you write crossovers?
nope, just not my thing!
8. Ever received hate on a fic?
luckily not! 
9. Do you write smut?
hmmm... i’ve not published anything with explicit smut in it but uh, ya girl might have some stuff on her laptop she’s too embarassed to upload... 🙈  also i have a feeling After the End may require some spice down the line... 
10. Ever had a fic stolen?
i don’t think so! 
11. Ever had a fic translated?
i don’t think so but now this has come up i have a feeling someone did ask to translate never give up into french? i’m not sure if they actually did. this was so long ago that i honestly can’t remember. does that make me a terrible person? if u did and that was u i am flattered!
12. Have you ever co-written a fic?
no, i personally don’t think i could 
13. All time favourite ship?
swan queen, of course <3
14. WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
Enchanted! i was on such a roll with the first few chapters then life and other WIPs took over - maybe i will someday though. I also have a Neverland AU fic i’ve been writing on and off for ages but it’s so hefty i’m not sure it’ll ever see the light of day!
15. Writing strengths?
hmm... maybe descriptions? i think i naturally write with quite flowery and detailed prose - this is also kinda a weakness though because i’ve had to work to balance that with action/dialogue in a decent way. 
16. Writing weaknesses?
maybe pacing? i think i get caught up in things and go a bit all over the place. also, if i’m doing something character-studyish i will RAMBLE like no other. 
17. Thoughts of writing dialogue in another language?
sadly i only speak english, so anything in another language is translated online and thus probably not very accurate! 
18. First fandom you ever wrote for?
i actually think it was merlin! 
19. What is your favourite fic you’ve written so far?
my own writing cringes me out so... idk... i’m gonna say After The End because i’m having a really fun time writing it right now. 
i’m gonna tag @fancyfanstuff if ya feel like it, and anyone else who wants to do it!
