hello my darling suni sprinkling these into ur ask box like they are glitter: 💞🤍💘

hello thea my Favorite Ever <3 unfortunately someone beat u to the 🤍 but here are the other two for you !!

💞: what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language

i feel like for both writing and reading it would be characters first, and just basic writing (more technical than figurative) second !! i consider my own fics to be very character-focused, in that it’s rarely about the plot or worldbuilding for me and a lot more about either writing character studies or exploring their connections and relationships to each other, so characterization is something that’s super important to me while writing and i do honestly take a lot of pride in it (if i’m being so honest)!! it’s also super important to me when reading, but i feel like i can handle a little bit of ooc-ness (to a degree) if it’s well written! i would put figurative language kind of in its own category when talking about writing my own work because like. i don’t necessarily Think about it in the same way i do characters or plot but it’s more just. how the words naturally come out of my brain? if that makes sense. 😗

💘: Is there any posted fic you want to rework/re-edit/re-write?

oh such a good question !! ik i have mentioned this before but like. my first two fics especially i would definitely rework a little just bc they were my foray into writing after quite some time and i think there are a few technical errors or just some awkward spots that i’d love to touch up or like. minor details i would tweak or write differently !! mostly just bc i had not written in so long and i hadn’t really found a Style that feels as natural as it does now (still working on it tho. of course.) i think other than that (struggles to recall all my fics) i would love to maybe add a couple scenes that i had to cut out of a body in motion because it was So Long and i didn’t want the flow to be interrupted but. in an ideal world this fic would be like 5 chapters long each with a more Normal wc of like. 10-12k instead of publishing one with 18k and then the second with 25k like a Freak

ask me things !!
