Ten Question Tag Game

Thanks for the tag @sharing-a-room-with-an-open-fire @adamarks @theflyingpeach and @the-clueless-philosopher 💖❤️

1) What’s your favorite genre to write?

I don't know?? I think Urban Fantasy or Magical realism (which are the genres of some ideas I'm nurturing), but aside from that... Contemporary? Dunno, pal.

2) Do you pull inspiration from real-life, or do you pull things from other books/ fanfiction you’ve read?

I think it's natural for writers to pull inspiration from books/fanfiction we read, even when it's not consciously. It's just like... Everything we read inspires and resonates with us in different levels, so there's that.

I also pull inspiration from real life, yeah. Especially for dialogue and character quirks, which I think makes them seem more natural/believable.

3) Do you tend to write one-shots, short stories, or longer things?

Oh, man. I... Might have a little problem. It's like my brain tries to stretch every single idea I have, no matter how simple it may be, into a novel-lengthy fic.

It's like.. I find it hard to write short stories. Or even one-shots (that don't have to be necessarily short). But I've been experimenting with shorter things (drabbles, for example), and I have some ideas that I could turn into one-shots.

4) Do you prefer to write description or dialogue?

I don't have a preference, actually. Some days I'm just in the mood to dig into long descriptions, and some days I have neither patience not time for that. These days, dialogue comes more naturally. Overall, I try to keep things balanced.

(Especially because I get bored if there's no action happening, so I try to keep the characters moving; their thoughts or physically.)

5) Favorite fic/book of all time?

Me: Oh no. A list of favorite things.

My brain: Time to go blank!

Seriously, tho. I'll just say the first 100 that come to mind, in no specifical order:

Books: The boy in the striped pyjamas; The Hunger Games trilogy; The Raven Cycle; Navigating Early; The Chronicles of Narnia; Bridge to Terabithia; All the Bright Places; They Both Die at the End; The weight of the Stars; and Carry on and Wayward Son, Of course!

As for fanfiction... I think I'm going for "Stay up with Me" by @sharkmartini because this thing haunted me in my sleep. I mean, it was absolutely wonderful and heartbreaking, and I couldn't stop thinking about it for days. Reading it felt like someone sticking a hand inside my chest and squeezing my heart, and by the end I just felt groundless.

(I thought I was evil.) (I want to be like you when I grow up @sharkmartini )

6) Favorite trope?

Wait for it... Just wait...

ROAD TRIP AUS!!!

I seriously couldn't believe when I found out this would be Wayward Son's plot. I was like... SCREECH. I think it's partially because I have this dream of leaving everything behind and hitting the road to nowhere for indeterminate time. (Whick I can't do, ofc. So, fanfiction!)

But I'm also a sucker for Soulmate AUs (ahem. I'm writing one rn), and I love High Fantasy/historical AUs with all my heart. Also, text fics are so fun to read! Also, Superhero/Villain AUs. Which aren't so common on this fandom, unfortunately. Oh, and don't forget to bring the #angst with a happy ending, of course.

7) Are you the kind of person to work on more than one wip?

Definitely not.

First of all, I'm a slow writer. Second, when I start working on a project, it takes over my mind. It's really hard for me to divide my attention like this, because I get really invested in whatever I'm writing at the time. So.

(I'm working on two WIPs right now, though. Not really sensible on my part, but I'll make it work.)

8) How long have you been writing for?

For this fandom? Since January. (Not a long time, I know.)

But I've been writing in general since... I can't recall. Probably since I learned how to write. I remember writing stories when I was seven. Then nine. Then I was eleven and attempted to write my first fanfiction. Then, at the tender age of 13, I attempted my first book. I finished none of them.

9) Do you tend to write more during the morning, afternoon, or evening?

Evening. Late at night. When I should be sleeping, y'know.

It's just that, well, I'm a night owl. Besides, the night is the only time I have to write when I'm studying. (Now that I'm quarantined, tho, any time is a good time to write.)

10) Do you prefer to post and update your wip chapter by chapter, or do you prefer to wait until your wip is 100% finished before sharing it?

I post chapter by chapter because I crave attention and feedback. That's it.

(I also get anxious if I don't post immediately after I've finished writing.)

I'm working on a fic for the COBB, though, and it will only come out in July, so I hope to have it all finished by then.
