19 Questions for Fic Writers!

I got tagged by @storybookprincess, thank you so so so much!!!

1. How many fics do you have on AO3?

Roughly... 16. That's not bad. Quite a respectable number!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

328,674

Damn. That a lotta word. Wild to think a third of those words are from a single fic huh

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Bit of a lot of things. Hunter x Hunter and Daiya no Ace are my big ones, but I've also written for Kingdom Hearts, Haikyuu, Black Clover, Project Sekai and....... Homestuck.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

"A Very Hisoka Wedding" stands head and shoulders above anything else at 1,143 kudos, which is legit insane. This fic isn't close to being my best. It isn't close to being my most innovative. It isn't even the longest! And yet it has more Hits, Kudos and Bookmarks than anything else I've ever written. Wild. Following that, we have "(Country Roads, Take Me)Home for the Holidays" at 365, my actual magnum opus so far, "Kiss Me Once, Kiss Me Twice" at 321, a short Black Clover ficlet that somehow keeps getting love, "Weekend at Leorio's" at 295 and "Pink Love" at 256.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I used not to respond to comments, but in the past couple of years I've been trying to respond to every comment I get. I like getting responses to my comments when I post on other fics, so I also want people to get that happiness. Besides, it's only polite!

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

...what is angst, signed, a permanently happy ending girlie.

Anyway it's probably "Quadratum Has Pocky", a KH drabble I wrote for Pocky Day which did not leave me with a lot of space for happy endings.

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

Literally all of them LMAO

But I guess "Red Eyes, Take Warning", my HxHBB fic this year gets special mention by giving Kurapika, the fandom's tragic boy, a happily-ever-after.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Sometimes. Home for the Holidays got a couple of comments once we got to the spicy part about how I should have tagged which character topped. That was wild. I'm talking like, HUGE paragraphs.

But not usually, no.

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

I did once! It was the vanillaest M/M ever written, but I sure did write it!

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

I do really like inter-sports-anime crossovers. I once wrote a Haikyuu x Daiya no Ace ficlet that was quite fun!

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of!

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not since I was 15 doing it myself translating my terrible Digimon fics into English lmao.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Favourite is a complicated word. All-time, however, isn't.

I've been an Akuroku girlie since 2005 and by GOD I will persist.

(the ship I most wish would become canon, however, is also from KH, but it's Soriku, which I've never even written about.....yet)

14. What’s a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

My Hunter x Hunter Praxis AU.

Huge AU, spanning five years, each of which focusing on a different set of characters, with highly specific references to a highly specific university culture from my country that like two people reading would understand. It's also technically a Reincarnation AU.

Yeah I'm never getting that written.

15. What are your writing strengths?

Apparently, characterization and making my character actions and plots seem believable in the context of canon. Which is good, because I really do strive for character voice matching the original, so I'm happy with this assessment by my readers LMAO

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

DESCRIBING ACTION.

If I ever have to write an action scene, I just don't. There is no combat in my fics, not because I dislike it, but because I can't write it lol.

17. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Have done it. Will continue doing it when I find it appropriate. Helps when the POV character also isn't supposed to understand the language, because then you're just on the same page :D

18. First fandom you wrote for?

Digimon Adventure my beloved <3

(the fics themselves are also beloved, because although they're bad, I can see where I came from and how that shaped me into the writer I am today. My bad fics are a part of me and my journey just as much as my 100k word epics are.)

19. Favorite fic you’ve written?

Pausing + looking off into the distance.

You do realize this is an impossible question?

All the fics for me are... connections, within myself and with the people around me. Writing each one was a battle of finding the right words within me, the joy of sharing little snippets with friends, asking for help and bouncing off ideas. Listening to music and building the plot in my head as I walk, thinking about it as I fall asleep. Pouring my longing, my affection, my grief, and my hopes into these words, trying to connect with whoever will read them.

So I guess I'll say it's "All The Things He Said". It's the first fic I wrote for Daiya no Ace, a fandom I knew no one in. And I needed a beta. Trying to find that beta actually led me to finding one of my best friends, so I'm very thankful to this fic.

Anyway, tagging people! I'll tag @wingsonghalo because she had to read my bad Digimon fic and @tomioneer because of all I said in the last question!

i didn't think i'd be heartbroken at chapter 256 (literally the very last chapter before it takes a break--im still crying over it), but alas, the author really knows how to hit where it hurts

no matter how much of a team based sport is baseball, pitchers are always the only people standing on the mound where Sawamura is here, sitting all alone by himself and thinking about the same person who's essentially the reason how he became who he is today

we've seen him struggle all throughout the series, thrive for acknowledgment he now believes he deserves, the fact that the one person he wants the most to get acknowledged from, can't ever verbally tell him even though we've all seen Miyuki's thoughts and actions

and here, the part that really broke me because Sawamura's end goal has always been Miyuki and yet, over and over, he's never truly tasted it, Miyuki's approval, Miyuki's trust, just Miyuki. he got the ace number and yet, the one thing he wants the most apart from it, seems to always just cut short where he can't get it... not yet, at least. im really hoping lol, for a scene so similar to what Chris said after the Ichidai vs Seido p2 ended

just look at how happy he is?? hearing the same thing if not more from Miyuki himself, tell him exactly what Sawamura is in Miyuki's eyes as his battery partner, as his ace, as his pitcher before he graduates, i feel like id be at peace if it ever happens because i think apart from everyone, Sawamura deserves to know how the team is how it is now because they have him, how reassuring and reliable to have him, from the captain's mouth, from his catcher's own words. Furuya always had Miyuki's trust and he's shown him, but never Sawamura and it breaks my heart lmaoo because what makes them so different?

Sawamura's always looking forward, thinking of things he lacks and tries to better himself each time, and i feel like, his efforts were always set aside. i feel like if i was in his shoes and constantly get toss aside even if they didn't mean it, i would have held a grudge. granted it's fictional, but still, my heart cries for this boy.

earlier in the previous chapters, Miyuki told Sawamura he'll gradually get the acknowledgement he wants and he did, through the ace number and yet he's shown again that even with all of that, he still can't get Miyuki's, "there's just no goddamn end in sight, huh" and i just about teared up, i really really want the Inashiro vs Seido match now 😔 maybe then, Miyuki will finally tell Sawamura he's always acknowledged him from the start ☹️

im honestly so in tears when the first years came into the picture because they've put Sawamura in a pedestal where he deserves to be, not just Furuya's shadow, not just Seido's only southpaw, but Sawamura Eijun

i really wish i didnt read this chapter 😕 im gonna be sad for another 24hrs

Having the role of Captain, I really shouldn’t say this, but..

I really have it - the desire to play pro.

I want to be able to feed myself by playing baseball. And I want to repay my father for letting me play baseball as much as I wanted up till now.

Daiya No A - Act II Chapter 256 (Spoilers!!!): DNA turning into a 100k Slowburn Fanfic with Angst as the Main Tag

"Eijun stops rambling and stands frozen midstep of the stairs as he heard Miyuki's words."

(Miyuki then expounds his thoughts.)

(And then BAM, his real thoughts.)

“Eijun doesn't know what to think when he hears that, really. Eyes wide, as he stares at those backs he'd been chasing since the start and somehow had shorten the distance over time with blood and sweat, feels as though as it never shrunk in the first place.”

“With the clench in his chest, thoughts unable to form inside his head, words suddenly swallowed and had never had the chance to be uttered ...”

“... at last, Eijun' s body makes a move to turn around.”

(Eijun not hearing the next words being uttered.)

“Eijun sits at the bottom of the dorm's staircase, mulling over his thoughts.”

“He remembers that time at the cafeteria where Miyuki was asked about his thoughts on the pros ...

Head hanging, eyes shadowed by the darkness and this bangs, he thinks back to the time he sees Miyuki practicing hard and still tries to accomodate his requests.”

“And then ...”

“...”

🙂 😐 😔 🙁 ☹️ 😢 😭

It may have been spontaneous in Miyuki's part to tell Furuya his thoughts since he coincidentally came to him first and maybe it didn't really matter to him who he told first his true thoughts or it may been he's kinda also expecting Furuya won't really give him any serious reply (I mean in Miyuki's standards because kid's really serious just wanting to think about the present just like Eijun) and deep inside miyuki also is expecting that so it may been another reason for him to tell Furuya ..

Oh sh*t! I can't, sorry .. Like what the ..? Huh ..?

What is this ''feeling'' am I feeling ..???

But bloody hell ..

Why did Eijun have to hear it now ..

And it's being said to his number 1 rival, not that it's anybody's fault, but the timing really sucks men ..(-_-)

Like Eijun always wanted acknowledgement from Miyuki (which by the way Miyuki had long done) but to Eijun, things such as confiding about important matters such as this is how he would feel he is really acknowledged, even though it may never have occurred to him before but had been present in his subconciousness all this time ..

(These next paragraphs came from my comment in another soc.med. where I posted some of my thought when the translated chapter hasn't been released and I had painstakingly read the hiragana and katakana only but I just want to add it here)

Sawamura just came from a no-name school (in terms of baseball achievement) since he just built up the team himself together with his friends, of course for him, the thought of going pro suddenly is confusing and overwhelming since he'd always been a guy thinking of the present so he can contribute to the team and asides from being the ace, if you maybe didn't notice, he always thought about his senpais like it would be their last game if they lose so he had to do his best so he can stay together with them even just a game longer ..

Sawamura really gives importance to his teammates and friends and he really treasures the bond he forms with his current teammates ..

It's not like Sawamura had wanted him and Miyuki to be on the same page, he really just wanted Miyuki's acknowledgement and for Eijun, that acknowledgement is not something that would come from words ..

It would come from actions and this time, in his subconsciousness, that action is Miyuki talking to him especially if it's about important aspirations for the future that's why he is disappointed he just heard it and the fact that it coincidentally came from Miyuki and Furuya talking to each other, his rival pitcher at the same year and same age ..

If he just heard it from Miyuki telling Nori or Kuramochi or Zono or Nabe or any senpai of his, it wouldn't matter to him really, he would just be pondering about if he would also seek the same path of being pro ..

On the next pages wherein there's a flashback of strong pitchers and then Furuya, it's along the lines of 'and there is also this great pitcher in here' which refers to Furuya, he just somehow equates that maybe because he's still not that level yet that maybe Miyuki hadn't been able to confide in him ..

And another thing, Eijun aiming the ace number had been his goal and like a promise to himself and his friends from the start ..

It had not been his goal to be ace just because he wanted Miyuki's acknowledgement ..

it just his goals coincidentally coincides with each other, at first it was like a separate thing, wanting to fulfill his first and foremost shouted goal because of his promise to his friends and wanting Miyuki's acknowledgment ..

But as we can see, somewhere down those two paths, the end was the same ..

But in their reality, it was not ..

Because as you can see, even though Eijun already had the ace number he still didn't feel acknowledged ..

But of course, Miyuki had long acknowledged him but you know, every person's standards and level of parameters is not the same when it comes to these sentiments such as 'acknowledging' so yeah of course they won't match in that, too ..

This chapter is messing up my head like why does this have to be last chapter before the break???

Anyways, my head and heart hurts so yeah ..

See you later ..😶😶😶

P.S. TJ-sensei, the no.1 angst and romance fanfic author, please have mercy on us ..xDxDxD

Miyuki’s Ambition

I have to talk a bit about this. I do. Humour me.

This is the first time that Miyuki’s talked about his own intentions. He’s been absolutely good about keeping it in till this point, but of course it makes me worry that the reason it’s come up at this point is because the next game is Inajitsu and there’s still no guarantee they’ll win it.

As Eijun observes, if they’d lost to Sankou, that would’ve been the end of it.

A little rant...

Eijun frustrated me in this chapter actually. Miyuki both praised him as an ace and talked about scouts probably coming to watch him. Everything Miyuki says is praising both Eijun and Furuya, not Furuya alone. But the thing Eijun takes from that - from the guy whose acknowledgement he’s been working for all this time - is that Miyuki talked to Furuya and not to him.

Almost certainly Miyuki hasn’t thought about it in those terms - he’s talking about scouts, and Furuya has had scouts, so it makes sense to ask Furuya his thoughts. Moreover, having that conversation with Eijun could easily throw Eijun off focus for the next game. Which could still happen. While in a way Furuya has already gone over that mountain with his struggles in the Spring.

I’m going to hope for the best where Eijun is concerned, and that he uses it as a trigger to play amazingly in the final and win them the game, rather than the opposite. Beating Mei is still an important thing for them to do, and if they don’t do it, it doesn’t matter how awesome Eijun might be in his final year. He’ll still have failed, twice, and won’t get another chance - so I’ll hope this is just creating drama and hype for the game that’s coming up.

The real reason for this post, though...

The thing that I took most from Miyuki finally voicing his intentions was his rationale. The comment about his father.

I have seen some really negative representations of Toku in fanfic, but I have never seen him as a bad father, just one working overtime to make ends meet. Miyuki having to more or less raise himself has always been for me a sense of him understanding that both of them have to do what they can to get by in the situation they’re in. We don’t know a thing about his mother, still, but even though we don’t see Toku and Miyuki talk to each other, that gesture at New Year with the sushi does say a lot about the respect between the two of them.

I really liked that part of Miyuki’s reason for wanting to go pro was to repay his father (literally he says ongaeshi - to repay the debt or obligation owed) for allowing him to do as he liked with playing baseball.

In reality, Toku could have insisted Miyuki inherited his business. He’s an only child, so that’s a reasonable expectation. It’s also probable that Toku’s long work hours paid for Miyuki’s equipment and maybe any other costs associated with his playing for the Edogawa team prior to his being scouted at Seidou. Although he’s almost certainly a scholarship student at Seidou, it’s not as though there would never have been any costs associated with allowing Miyuki to follow his dreams.

For me this chapter vindicates Toku as a good father, if a busy and overworked one.

And that at least made me happy, even if I still want to shake Eijun for being dense.
