20 Questions for Writers

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

57

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

382,306

5. Do you respond to comments?

love and light to anyone who comments but i have to be in a very specific mood to respond to comments and i have not been in that mood for like 6 months, so it's a 50/50 chance.

10. Do you write crossovers?

not really. i mean i love "crossovers" where it's like everything's the same except the palantiri are flip phones. so i do write crossovers in the muppet sense of the word, i guess.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

more and more i'm drawn to the quality and thought behind a character and their relationships instead of the characters themselves, which makes me sound like a pretentious asshole but it's true. if a story is compelling enough then that ship is my favorite, and so on. so in that sense, right now it's howl/sophie, boromir/thedored, and worf/k'ehleyr(/jadzia) 🤪 (and the mota idiots ofc but. yeah)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

any star wars wips i still have out there RIP

16. What are your writing strengths?

i think i am okay at making dialogue not sound too unnatural/stilted. also humor.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

under writing (the tendency to not write enough to get a point across while thinking that i did get the point across, not doing risk analysis for mortgages though i'd be bad at that too tbh)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

unless there's a point, i.e. the pov character doesn't understand the other language, i don't love it

19. First fandom you wrote for?

ouat 🫥

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

this is going to sound very woe is me, but i'm really not in a good place writing-wise and i feel like everything i write sucks! so none right now. i recognize that this is a transitional phase and i'll get out of it probably but also it sucks and everything is terrible.

thank you for the tag @chocmarss! i've been tagged in so many of these the past couple months and haven't done any because✌️but it's fine! everything's fine! ("✌️it's fine! everything's fine!" is actually my answer to all the questions i didn't answer btw) tagging some mutuals who i know write currently @amukmuk @anxiety-banana @sticks-and-souls @elvain @themoonlily (sorry if i forgot anyone, consider this your tag pls) no pressure etc etc, and i'll put all the questions under the cut in case you want to do this the right way lmao
