fic writer review

I wasn't going to do this until tomorrow, but I couldn't wait. The fantastic @defaultjane asked me to answer, so here I am. I won't tag any particular writer, I'll just forward her invitation to do it if you feel like it ❤

1. How many works do you have on ao3? Eleven. Now ask me how many I have on Ffnet lol It's fifteen.

2. What’s your total ao3 word count? 

624573 words. Not bad for someone who started writing chapters no longer than 2K hahaha

3. How many fandoms have you written for? 

Officially, just one: Resident Evil. But I used to write some The Legend of Zelda/Pokémon Crossover stories (including self inserts) when I didn't even know that fanfiction was a thing. Thankfully you will never get to read that lol

4. Top 5 fics by kudos? 

Family Portrait

Just Friends

Merry Un-Christmas

Inside, Outside

A Third Chance So happy this one made it on the list, too hahaha

5. Do you respond to comments?

Always! There was just one comment I never replied to and it came from a troll. I will be forgiven. I also used to respond to replies to my own comments, but I'm getting pretty lazy lately LOL

6. A fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending: That's a hard one. My fics always have flowery happy endings. I guess the one with the angstiest ending so far is Secrets.

7. Do you write crossovers? 

No Crossovers since the TLOZ/Pokémon thing, I swear ✋🏻 

8. Ever received hate on a fic? 

Not sure if I would call it hate or braindeath, but I received very creative troll comments on Family Portrait chapter 22. They even wrote a scene about me being raped by Wesker and Chris and posted it in the comment section. I was so proud lol

9. Do you write smut? 

Yes. Fluff and smut is basically all I write.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen? 

Yes! Drake Oskars stole Inside, Outside and published it on Amazon. He even copied the A/N with all the messages to my readers. Thanks to all the people who helped get this shit removed. I seriously hope nobody ever paid for reading it LMAO

11. Ever had a fic translated? 

Sadly no, but I've been asked very often to translate my fics into Spanish 😊

12. Have you ever co-written a fic? 

I have many helping hands, but no co-author :)

13. All time fav ship? 

I'm almost sad to say that my favorite ship doesn't involve my favorite character, Claire Redfield, but I'm sure that my all time fav ship is Valenfield ❤

14. WIP you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

The only valid reason for me to leave a fic unfinished forever is death.

But there are some sequels I promised to write and which will probably never see daylight.

15. Writing strengths?

My fabulous beta says that my writing improves when it's smut. I believe him lol My strength is smut.

16. Writing weaknesses?

Everything but smut? Lol. Dialogue, probably. I hate when people have to talk.

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

I did that a couple of times myself. I'm not against it as long as there's no important content locked in a foreign language. I'm the kind who goes to Google Translate whenever there's something I don't understand anyway, but it shouldn't be a message of importance.

18. First fandom you wrote for? 

I mentioned the Zelda/Pokémon thing, right? 

Resident Evil!

19. What’s your fav fic you’ve written so far? 

Too much, never enough. It probably needs a rewrite, but it's a super solid idea I'm ridiculously proud of and it NEVER got enough love.

So, freaking finally! An update on AYATO.

So, I finally finished the first pov for chapter 3. It's super small (less than 1000 words) but I'm currently just going over it again. I'll be working on it tomorrow and the day after (because I have a physics exam tomorrow) so it'll be up on tumblr by the day after tomorrow. I'll edit it and put it up soon. Its not much, I know but it's more than I've posted in a month. That and I'll also be getting to the tags, I swear. I've just been studying and haven't had much free time. Plus I've been working on AYATO. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about the tags. Anyway, the first pov is Ingram (the second is Thea, which I will continue to work on for a little bit because I literally just have two paragraphs for it so far) and I hope y'all like it. Adding my tag list for AYATO because well, it's an update for something I haven't posted new content (besides like line tags) for in a month. And y'all either probably forgot my WIP existed (which, I don't blame you) or might need to catch up (which shouldn't be hard.)
