Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~)🌈💖🌈💖🌈

Awwwww, thank youuuuuu!!! 💖💖

Well, "about myself" isn't very specific in terms of skills/personality traits/physical appearance/whatever so I'd say:

My eyes

My ability to enjoy being alone

My cooking skills

My humour

My growing ability to Not Give A Fuck™

😳😳😳 I... I'm sorry what-

in which universe-

... How American must you be to think that being French is an inside joke? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm dying Joanna, DYING here!!! 😂😂😂

Please never stop being you I love it 😘

🤣 It's just that I came on the scene so late and then lurked for such a long time and the way you bantered/used slang/all of it in colloquial English, like, none of the usual slightly formal syntax or usage that are sometimes there with ESL writers - I thought the "French" thing was a reference to something I had missed along the way, like you really were into that Emily in Paris show or something and everyone had affectionately "allowed" you to call yourself French as a result. Admittedly, it was dumb on my part to not go with the obvious "it literally means she is from France the country, dummy" - hearing hooves and thinking zebras, not horses and all that - but I was cooped up in my house going crazy so it took a while to sink in 🤣🤣🤣🤣.

#🤣🤣🤣 #this is just so funny I'm in tears #I mean this is obviously a far too nice compliment to my English skills but like #the concept of claiming a nationality just for the love of a TV show is hilarious to me #(also for the record there's no word in the English language to begin to express my despise for Emily in Paris but that's not the point) #but hey you know what I'm loving this so much i'm gonna add it to my bio #love you joanna 😘 #also hey how are you I miss you! #miscellaneous

Need a new word for old blorbos that aren't really your blorbos anymore but you still feel fondness or them. The series ended or you fell out of the fandom, but your mutuals still put them on your dash sometimes and you go aw. he's still out there making it in the big city.

20 questions for writers

I was tagged by @pia-writes-things (ty!!! ❤️)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

46!

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

703,271. Which is, um, a lot.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Good Girls (formerly), HPI (formerly), and l'Art du Crime. There's also a random bit for les Combattantes, and one GG fic has a shared universe with Graceland. I'm very mono-fandom lol.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Take A Dip

It's All Coming Back To Me

It Hurts When I See You Struggle

Love And War

We're Living In A Powder Keg And Giving Off Sparks

Unsurprisingly, these are all GG fics, although I don't think my kudos ranking is accurate because most of these were impacted by the great kudos-bombing gate from 2020 so it's hard to tell what's actually my most kudo-ed fic.

5. Do you respond to comments?

Absolutely. My secret goal is to keep the conversation going back and forth for the longest possible time because I love the opportunity for a good ramble about my writing 😈

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I wanna say Ad vitam æternam (L'art du crime)? I mean, it's literally an MCD fic, so, not that merry... Also if I remember correctly, Always lost in the sea (HPI) doesn't end on a very hopeful note either.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I don't know? All of them? None? I generally tend to go for happy open endings with that extra bit of bittersweet so I really couldn't tell. But hey, maybe the ending to that thing I'm currently writing actually is the happiest of it all, because oh boy, things do get cheesy at some point 🥺

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No at all! Unless you count that one person who commented on several chapters of whichever long GG fic I wrote just to point blank hate on Beth character lol

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Of course I do (in English only), I like my porn toxic and desperate and angsty with just the right amount of power play and mutual hatred. Basically, I write hatefuck 😂

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Not really, no... I've tried a couple of times, but I think I'm better at/more interested in mimicking existing interactions than inventing a dynamic between characters who never met canonically (and also, boy the kind of SETUP you need to justify some characters crossing paths... it's just too much work). I'm more of a cameo/easter egg kind of writer, so once in a while I'll allow a character from another fandom to pop up in a fic and say hi, but it's really a blink-and-you'll-miss-it kind of encounter.

I guess my craziest attempt would be that Crazy Ex-Girlfriend / Good Girls crossover that I never finished though, cause like, super different moods?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of but I don't really attempt to know

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! By myself lol. I once posted a fic in two languages before acknowledging it was a hell of an additional work 😭

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Kinda? We never finished nor even posted it but at some point we shared a quite unhinged co-writing story with @whiskeyjack and @00gangfriend00 and it was a lot of fun 🥰

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

You... you guys have that? You don't just live by your Ship of the Moment just to instantly forget about it and hop on the Next Ship when it shows up? I'm sorry but I don't think I have one of those.

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

What a trap question!!! 😂

It's All Coming Back To Me, obviously. Look, I really really want to finish it, not even for me at this point, but for the 120-something people who subscribed to it, for the faithful readers who still leave me comments every now and then hoping for closure. I know how it ends. I have it partially written. I just don't seem to know how to write for Good Girls anymore, and getting my head back into it feels like such an insurmountable load of work, I just- I'm trying, ok?

But like, if someone's interested in helping, or even writing that ending based on my notes (and getting full and proper credits for it obvi), just let me know! I'm really open to it 🥲

16. What are your writing strengths?

Probably dialogues? I've been told many times that my dialogues feel very close to the original, and the thing is, I write about TV shows and I have a very good ear so I think I catch quite easily the actors' voices and tones and mannerisms in my head, so every time I write down a line, I play it several times in my mind with the character's voice to determine whether they would say it like that or not. Looks like it's not working so bad.

Also I *think* I'm not too bad at stream-of-consciousness inner monologues. At least it's one of my favourite things to write so there's that.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Action scenes (that includes sex lol). Filling the gaps between the important parts. Descriptions. Setting up the scene.

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

Like, featuring two different languages inside the same fic, or writing in different languages? I'm not sure I've ever really written the first one? I guess I find it a bit clunky, occasionally I've written scenes that included a character whose native language wasn't the one of the fic, and I'd give them a line or two if that's relevant to the plot (for instance, if characters are lost somewhere in another country, I can add a line/dialogue in another language for comedic effect. Or it can be a way for a character to whisper something for themselves), but the logistics are quite nightmarish, you gotta either assume your audience knows the second language, or translate the lines in the author's note, or have another character translate it in a way that doesn't sound too articifial, that's really really tedious haha

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Good Girls.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

You think I know that? Out of FOURTY-SIX??? Lol. Get out.

idk if you've taken on the unpopular opinions but...

Unpopular opinion: annie/Ruby > drio (rio/dean)

Ha I hadnt, but I shall for you 😘

🤓🤓🤓 so these are both ICONIC ships but I think im going to have to disagree bc annie/Ruby (sidenote: what IS the ship name?? runnie?! anby?! the goodies?!) is like a salving fix it ship vs d(r)io being THE best ~canon ship 🗻🤺

I do NOT understand what they were trying to do with Annie's story if it wasn't about comp het. Like seriously seriously seriously the parade of terrible men vs the chemistry with Nancy ('I DON'T love you' 🤯🤯🤯🤯 who says that?!) was one thing but to cap everything off with that fake date with nick's gay assistant immediately after Kevin basically bullied annie into officialdom together was just 🤯🤯🤯🤯wot

And both stan and Beth were 😡😡😡😡pissing me off with their possessiveness and controllingness towards Ruby in s4 grr. Especially bc the show left annie and Ruby in turmoil, but gave rio and Beth some at least tentative peace, Annie/ruby/nevada is a lovely 🎀😍post-canon solution😍🎀

BUT I don't really see a lot to it in canon yknow? It's more my exhaustion with annie/terrible men & disappointment with the stan-Ruby-Beth stuff talking 🙃

Whereas Dean IS canonically obsessed with rio, and rio IS canonically obsessed with Dean, and they both ARE extremely annoying and frankly no one else should have to suffer spending time with them. Plus Beth IS canonically in love with ruby, not either of them (which does make the runnie or w/e ship a lil more complicated but 🤷🏼‍♀️👀🍿).

I was tagged by @pia-writes-things (❤️) to show my 4 favorite ships and let my mutuals assume what my concept of romance is

(bold of you to assume I ship characters for romance though 😂)

Well, I don't know if I have "favourites" that I can order up to 4, but here's what comes to mind today (in no particular order):

I couldn't even find a proper gif of them because the fandom for this show is tragically empty, but oh my gosh THEM

Laure Berthaud / Gilles Escoffier, Engrenages (Spiral)

2. Do I have to explain myself? I don't think so.

Florence Chassagne / Antoine Verlay, L'art du crime (the art of crime)

3. My fangirl origin story...

Emma Peel / John Steed, the Avengers

4. Well, guess I didn't give two years of my life and wrote 450+k words on AO3 about them for nothing...

Beth Boland / Rio, Good Girls

So apparently my concept of romance is workplace-related and codependent as fuck I guess...

That was fun! Tagging @sothischickshe @cagefreeromanroy @humanbra @earanie @misshazelevers20 @asteraceae-blue
