5. Do you respond to comments?
i read all of them for sure but i'm terrible sometimes at responding although i do try my best
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
ooft, okay. there's probably more than this but the following have major character death warnings that could very well be classed as angsty lmao:
i wrote this little ficlet: Gone (SVU, bensler/EO) in which a raid goes wrong and it's just pain from start to finish and then there's Until Long After She Takes Her Final Breath which is a Good Girls/brio fic in which their reunion at the beginning of season 3 goes very differently.
Why don't we go to Venus? is another Good Girls/brio fic in which the summary is: Rio killed her and that was supposed to be the end of it but Beth doesn’t seem to be done with him quite yet.
that one is probably my angstiest overall but the ending is probably the least angsty bit about it??? haha
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
honestly? i have no idea and i have no clue how to check 😭😂
8. Do you get hate on fics?
there was someone going around the SVU/OC fandom leaving weird hate comments on people's stuff (anonymously) and i got one but while it felt rude, it didn't feel like hate, but also it felt like it was supposed to be hateful, y'know? pretty sure i just deleted it though (i for sure ignored it) 😂
but generally, no. i'm lucky to say that i tend to avoid hate on social media and that includes fanfiction.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
i have done and the variety isn't huge but it's there? i guess?
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
i have done! beyond the obvious (where shows, etc share worlds), i did a boondock saints/the walking dead one (which was also co-written) because norman reedus stars in both 😂
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i'm aware of?
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
again, not that i'm aware of
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
yes! the aforemention boondock saints/the walking dead fic was co-written on ff.net and i co-wrote (with the same person), a fast and furious fic.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
i lost myself a ton in writing olivia/elliot from svu/organized crime as well as beth/rio from good girls so they'd probably battle it out for top spot.
BUT
if i'm being brutally honest, my all time favourite ever to write were fast and furious ships 😂 especially the OGs (specifically vince and leon) with my OCs (although there were canon ships i loved to write too!). it was just so fun and freeing and i constantly think about it.
(i also loved when i wrote random marvel/mcu pairings, winterwitch was probably my number one for them and again, i think about it a lot)
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
i think it's unlikely i'll finish a lot but especially a degree of separation. i kind of hate it, i'm so sorry 😭😭😭
16. What are your writing strengths?
the thought of analysing my own writing right now sounds painful but two of the most common nice things people tell me is that: 1) they like how i write dialogue and 2) they like my writing style in general
(but of which i highly appreciate!)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
i don't do it enough?
nah. true but seriously, there's a ton, however, i do tend to waffle on and write something in several sentences that could have been just one 😭
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I don't think i've ever done it? if i have it'll be dialogue or whatever that's already in the show/move/etc
19. First fandom you wrote for?
The Fast and the Furious 🥰
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
still on ao3: it has to be Why don't we go to Venus? but also Knock First which is a Beth/Rio/Original Male Character threesome fic that was SO MUCH fun
no longer posted: a fic for The Fast and the Furious. it was a Vince/OC story. it was so much fun to write and it was one of my most popular back when i was posting on ff.net and i miss this story all the time (even though it's probably awful 😂) and always think about re-writing and posting it again on ao3
Tagging: @conscience-killer @constant-sinner @astarkey @xstrawmari @blainesebastian if ya like! (sorry if you've been tagged before!)

Who knew?! Me, now!
To all the new fic writers / people not used to advertising their fic on tumblr:
Please do not simply copy-paste a link to your fic in a new post! Like so:
It gives you a wonky layout that — more importantly — doesn’t actually give the reader the information they might need in order to decide whether your fic is right for them. Notice the weird indentations of the text and how the only info I’m giving is my ao3 handle, the title of the fic, and the fandom.
Please consider using the AO3 “share” button!
This will format a full post with all the metadata you included on ao3 anyway:
Alternatively, you can format your own post, which is what I usually do: Take a moment to think about what info you usually use to decide on a fic: is it the rating, the word count, the additional tags, the summary? Consider including at least these bits in your tumblr post.
Thank you for your time.

🧡 & 💚 for good girls pls
Ask game: unpopular opinion edition <3
🧡: What is a popular (serious) theory you disagree with?
Goodness, I'll have to admit it has been a minute since I've thought about G.ood G.irls and anything discussed within the fandom space of good girls. By the middle of s4 I just wanted to know what would happen to my girl Annie (and the results were heartbreaking </3) I guess I don't subscribe to the belief that Beth really manages to girlboss post-series? The way she handles things as the series went on just didn't make me trust her ability to have long term success for any real stretch of time sjsjs I had believed in her during s2, but s3 through s4 left much to be desired.
💚: What does everyone else get wrong about your favorite character?
I wouldn't say this is a fandom issue as I remember most thought Annie was getting the short end of the stick, so my criticisms on this front are with the writers. Annie's messy and has a tendency to self-sabotage. We all know that, we get it, but the way they would dangle a chance at her to find something, anything that made her feel like she could do more in her life just for them to figure out a way to have her fall into bed with a worse man every time was beyond frustrating. The way they dropped storylines for her was frustrating. They never let Annie get to be more than the butt end of her sister's joke (even though I'd argue that Beth after a while was getting not only herself but the others into worse situations than they were in before)
Annie so desperately wanted to do something that made her not only believe in herself more, but to make her kid proud and they always made sure to snuff it out. And to end the series with her facing jailtime will always bother me.
