20 questions for fic writers, J7 edition

1. How many works do you have on Ao3? 15

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 90,585

3. What fandoms do you write for? Star Trek, mostly Voyager, some cross-over into Picard and TNG.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Four times she denies you and the one time she doesn't. What happens if our ladies have their shit together and mutual attraction trumps stupid little issues, like Starships to run.

Slowly, then all at once a collection of moments, big and small, painting the picture of two women, learning and growing together, falling for each other slowly, then all at once.

Things that Fall What happens from the first time your heart feels full until you finally let yourself fall? An exploration in 12 vignettes.

The Space in Between  Seven is a precious baby-queer, Kathryn is in denial, B'Elanna is the friend we all need (and a fun play-mate to Kathryn).

I'm a little tied up right now My attempt at rectifying the severe lack of prehensile-plant fics in the J7 fandom...

5. Do you respond to comments? Sometimes, when I don't get too in my head about how to respond...

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Hands down definitely They're In Love, Where Am I?

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Most of my fics have a happy ending... For finished fics I think I'd go with autumn is a second spring, including WIPs I think home is a moment in time has the most momentous happy ending so far.

8. Do you get hate on fics? Nope!

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Yes. Depends on the what the story needs - sometimes soft and emotional, but I also have some more kinky BDSM fics. And sometimes they mix, just like in real life...

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? Within the Star Trek universe, yes (ask me about the polycule, I dare you!). Not crazy by any standards, but a fun little drabble has the biggest crossover: Come to Quarks, Quarks is Fun (...they said)

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of...

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?  No, I don't think so.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, not yet.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship? NCC-1701 will always be my first love, but Voyager is hot af. (half-kidding. It's J7. Hands down.)

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? The Janeway & Riker Chronicles. In my mind he hit on her once and got bitchslapped so hard he worships her to this day. They end up being thick as thieves and getting into all kinds of trouble with each other. There's traces of this in some of my fics, but I doubt I'll ever actually write it.

16. What are your writing strengths? Flow, emotionality, little details, switching POVs

17. What are your writing weaknesses? Brevity, Punctuation, getting lost in the characters' mental space too much

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Sure, why not. But not if you can't speak the language/have someone to help with translation.

19. First fandom you wrote for? Star Trek Voyager | Janeway/Seven

20. Favorite fic you’ve written? I think I'll always be especially fond of my first one (Things that Fall) and the most recent one - just because the idea wouldn't let me go for three years (home is a moment in time) - but I Will Follow Where You Lead has a special place in my heart - because of the challenge of it and the fact that it started a new relationship tag.

Word: curiosity

Sorry for the delay on this! Life / a lack of ideas got in the way. But then I was thinking, who does curiosity really well?  and obvs Mary Oliver came to mind so:

Banyan by Mary Oliver

Excerpt: 

The cattle egret moved out into the sunlight,  like so many pieces of white ribbon.  The watersnakes slipped down banks like green hooks and floated away.

J/7 - Wild West AU. (I just really wish we could have seen them in cowboy get-ups on the holodeck ok lol)

It felt like years since the last lost soul travelled through their little town, and yet here she was: tall, blonde and dressed like a man in Kathryn's little shop. She stood by the counter, blue eyes sharp and focused on her, and Kathryn couldn't shake the unfamiliar feeling creeping up her spine. "Is there anything I can get you?"

(I agree okay, now I want this too what have you done)

#thank you for the ask ❤ #i cheated a lil ofc #im not sorry lol #queenology #answer #j7

5, 21 - for any pairing you like

oooh fun! Doing Ruby/Christina because I’m writing them right now so this helps! Thank you! 

5) Favorite canon moment: “That’s not what I saw when I was fucking you.” Because WOW. The fact that Ruby read Christina to filth for her privilege and told her she took that potion so she could be someone else while she fucked “a white man”, and then Christina did the same to Ruby for pretending that’s what this was about instead of the truth which is, she just wanted to get railed, and then for Christina to look her in the eye and say “That’s not what I saw when I was fucking you” was just added demolition of Ruby’s denial. It was...SO gay. 

21) Favorite genre for them? (Angst, fluff, etc.) I love it all because it is always just a little bit dirty with them, but I love to suffer so probably angst.

for the guessing game: light

i wanted to wait until i had some j7 for u hehe

Seven’s never thought of Janeway as fragile before. She’s been battered and bruised, disheveled and left powerless by their foes, but even then, she seemed strong and formidable, like no matter what they faced, she’d always get them through it. And every time, no matter what, she’d done just that. But now, lying still and pale in the dim light, she seems somehow terribly small. Like she might disappear into the sheets. Like she might break, if Seven touched her like she longs to. She wants to confirm that she’s really here, because she looks so different from the Janeway she remembers. The Janeway she’d seen what seems like a lifetime ago, before she’d let her believe she’d died.

36. What’s your favourite genre to write?

Is character-driven navel-gazey angst a genre? 

I mean, scifi and fantasy, world-building is a treat. Romance, on account of enjoying writing smut. And the mythological tone I struck for some of my CAOS fics is one I really love. 

39. What is you greatest strength as a writer?

Heh. This is a tough question to suss out, how to be objective? I like to think I’m good at characterization. But again, objectivity? Ever heard of her? 

43. Is there anyone in your fandom who really inspires you?

@cassiopeiasara for how prolific she is, how kind she is, and how she never lets the ridiculousness of fandom stop her from writing and writing really well. 

Fandom and fanfic asks!

7.)  your favourite board game

I’m not much of a board game person (more partial to cards), but in the school library at work we would play dixit fairly often and I enjoyed that! I was pretty good at judging which cards were whose and I’d always joke to the kids that I could read minds lol

12.)  if you could make a candle that smelt like anything, what would you pick?

freshly baked pumpkin pie. love that cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and clovey smell ❤

25.)  a game you’re playing that takes your mind off things

animal crossing new horizons has saved my life. also I restarted breath of the wild and that’s been working wonders, as well

wip guessing game: warm

ah damn, there was an instance of warm in the previously-posted paragraph...:

...her pale skin and eyes are stark counterpoint to the bob of warm brown hair swept neatly away from her face and behind her ears...

but also:

Pippa smiles, warm and soft, and reaches out to touch Nicola’s knee.

and

Hecate’s eyes are solemn, but warm, and they capture her own uncertainly.

and

Lets herself be happy, overjoyed because Hecate is here, with her, soft and warm and sweet and Hecate, Pippa’s Hecate. And Hecate holds her gaze, though her cheeks are warm and flushed, something Pippa would identify as wonder in her eyes.

River/12 Time Heist AU: 

The phone rings.  He answers.  There’s a familiar voice on the other end.  

‘You need to rob the Bank of Karabraxos.  I’m going to help you, along with your friend, and another man.  We’ll get our own rewards.  They have something of yours.’

‘What is it?’

‘A diamond.’
