How many works do you have on AO3?
As of yesterday, 202!
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
678,560 words. which i have mixed feelings about because. i'm proud i've managed to write so much but at the same time, i've been at this for over 10 years i wish the number was higher for all that time.
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Things Best Kept Between Three People (Leverage, Eliot/Parker/Hardison) - 1,389 kudos
Escalation of Commitment - (Leverage, Eliot/Parker/Hardison) - 1,360 kudos
I say goodbye but mean hello - (Leverage, Eliot/Parker/Hardison) - 1,283 kudos
This is the Place Where I Sit - (Leverage, Eliot/Parker/Hardison) - 1,006 kudos
In Possession Of - (Leverage/Supernatural crossover) - 715 kudos
looking at these fics, it's very obvious that another way of asking this question is: "what's the most popular ship you've written." though i am very amused that an actual crossover made the top 5, considering how deeply those have fallen out of favor in the past twenty years.
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I try my best! some years i am better at it than other. but even if i'm in a low energy moment, i appreciate every single comment <3
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
The leverage theme continues, apparently.
Just One Last Time (Leverage with Highlander elements. Eliot is immortal. Parker and Hardison are not).
I'm not usually a sad ending person but every one in a while I indulge.
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
Basically all of them lol. But I guess I'll say that ghost story fic because it got really sad before the happy ending.
This is not a ghost story (The King's Avatar, yuhuang, magical realism)
7. Do you write crossovers?
Yes! They are my original fandom love and such a wonderful self-indulgence. I should try to write more of them in 2024.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Not on a fic, but I got plenty for my silly ramblings back in the shadowhunters fandom, sadly.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes! yay smut. I prefer mine with some kind of kink in order to hold my interest. (not that i don't enjoy non-kinky smut but when i do i tend to enjoy it for the emotional payoff rather than the sex itself)
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I am aware of.
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! How cool is that!? Love fandom translators and the amazing work they do <3
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No. I don't think co-writing is a thing that I would enjoy. Trying to merge my writing style with someone else sounds stressful and also i think i might be too much of a control freak for that kind of collab.
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Whatever my ship of the moment is!
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
I'm pleased that all my big recent wips have been finished! I've been working on a little "troubling rain is cursed" fic for a couple years now. it's only a few thousand words long so not sure it qualifies for wip status, but i would like to finish it so I can post it!
15. What are your writing strengths?
I think characterization and silly jokes.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Description. Despite my efforts I will never be one of those beautiful prose writers.
I think of my style as very "what you see is what you get" and I consider that to be both a strength and a weakness.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
It's a hard no almost 100% of the time. And something I will likely use the back-button on.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
My first posted fic was hetalia (germancest) and I had such a wonderful time in that fandom!
19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?
Still really want to try and wrangle my onmyoji ot3 ficlet thing.
20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written
That question is cheating! But I'll go with my de-aged ywz fic because I never thought I could write a story over 10k words and I'm still very proud that I managed something nearly 70k!
Means of Transportation (The King's Avatar, yuhuang, de-aged ywz)
