20 questions for fic writers

Tagged in this from @crossroadsdimension

If I need to re-edit this to credit someone, please let me know. Tumblr is a strange place for me and I'm still learning.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

33 works and hopefully counting!

2. What’s your total word count? 92,157 published on Ao3. It's closer to 110,000 considering some of the backlog I have for two fics. I really want to get back to writing some more but life has lifed.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Predominately Tales of Arise, the Tales of Series (Symphonia & Vesperia <3), a smattering of Persona 5 fics, and one Final Fantasy 16 fic with a multi-chapter planned burning a hole in my pocket I want to finish and then begin posting. I have no doubt this list will grow the longer I write and post.

4. Top 5 fics by kudos

What's Included in a Promise (175 kudos, Tales of Arise), Is the Coffee Hot or Cold? (160 kudos, Tales of Arise), Fighting Spirit (70 Kudos, Tales of Arise/Tales of Symphonia), Paperwork (62 kudos for the lone FF16 oneshot) and lastly, Law (50 Kidos, Tales of Arise)

5. Do you respond to comments? Always!

6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Side Quest Blues, is a Tales of Arise canon compliant very short one-shot. I like my happy endings as much as I like my tragedies but I definitely skew towards writing happy.

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

Hmm probably my ToA Modern AU, although that is three separate stories with an overall happy ending that timing-wise happens in the second fic in the series? Does that count?

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I have yet to get hate on my fics and my fingers are crossed it stays that way.

9. Do you write smut?

Nothing published and only an experiment. I doubt that I'll ever post anything.

10. Do you write crossovers?

Technically yes! If you count crossovers between different Tales of games. Crossovers have been love of mine for a very long time <3

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope! I feel like this would either be a labour of love done by myself or someone asking (and if so I'd be honoured).

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

Never co-written a fic but I have been a part of a collab with the Keep The Flame Alive Discord server! This Magic Burns My Soul

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

Does my marriage count?

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

Zephyr lives. I'd love to write more of it! But that's almost a whole freaking re-write of the game tweaking canon events, which considering I plan to do so with What's Included in a Promise? I feel my soul want to leave my body. I should have one-shotted this one. Thank You For Being My Home

16. What are your writing strengths?

Ooooo. I want to say character interactions and dialogue. But I also know that I've done excellent scene work. The subtly of characters interacting with others or their world? Hmmmm I live for that writing.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Plotting. World Building. Remembering to describe more than just the characters. I get a little too invested sometimes and have to remember there is a world the characters live in, not just their immediate surroundings or dialogue.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?

I think you should at least learn some of the language you're writing dialogue in if you do not already speak it, OR have someone who speaks/writes it willing to review the translation you want to use. Google Translate only gets you so far.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Oh. Oh I feel old now.

In the before times many many years ago when I was a new face to the interwebs, it was probably Naruto. Do I have those fics or files? Absolutely not. They died with an old computer that will never see the light of day again.

20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Dad!Duke, my Tales of Vesperia one-shot. But it is tied with Fighting Spirit because without Fighting Spirit introducing me to one of my best friends, the idea of Dad!Duke wouldn't have existed. But it is the fic I get some of my favourite comments on.

Idk how I feel about tales of arise currently but uhhh. They got rid of co op. They got rid of skits (or at least no mention of them as of now) and after battle screens. They got rid of the colourful character designs and the crazy party members.

It looks so. Mainstream...

#kuu.txt #if looks like an edgy ff wannabe fjkghfjkgh #skits are a basic part of tales of #i've spent HOURS reading skits and they're the best #also co op mode come onnnn #i've played most of my big tales of games with my brother and that's the charm of it #like idk i just #arise doesn't give me a tales of feel? #like if i show you the symphonia party #or even the berseria party #you look at them and say oh yeah this is tales of #but you look at the mcs here and it's just ??? #the designs are pretty but i'm missing a lot of colours #and the anime feel #it... doesn't look anime anymore #anyways guess this means i'll have to go through my tales of to play list #i need to finish vesperia i'm really liking it so far
