Questions for fic writers: 1, 3, 5 (with Beautiful Creature of Darkness), 23, 30, 35, 45 & 48

So excited! My first ask (of course it helps that the newbie here opened it up lol)

1. What fic of yours would you recommend to someone who had never read any of your work?

Honestly, I’m really impressing myself (with all humility) with “Beautiful Creature of Darkness”. It’s combining two of my fandoms. My life long fandom of Phantom of the Opera and Saurondriel! I think it’s the best writing, the deepest characterization and motivation, and the spiciest scenes I have put forth.

3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?

I try to have a lot of the five senses worked into my writing. I also tend to write very comfortably for a single pairing, like a deeper-dive into emotion and attraction and lust and fulfillment thereof 😉. I work in periphery characters, but often I feel like it’s harder for me to care about them? For tropes, forced proximity (trope) or having to work together for a mission (trope) that becomes love.

5. What do you wish someone would ask you about “Beautiful Creature of Darkness?” Answer it now!

Hmmm tricky… I wish someone would ask what my influences are… I am trying to weave in Phantom of the Opera allusions: lyrics from the musical or images from the movie/ book. I am also trying to work in the gothic literature tones and vibes, thunder, lighting and a LOT OF HOT SPICE. LIKE GHOST PEPPERS Y’ALL. If that sounds good, just jump right to my hot Vampire-Sauron chapter “To Whom You Belong”

23. What's a trope, AU, or concept you've never written, but would like to?

Sherlock Holmes! 🧐 Have always loved/lusted over that character. @thegreatzombieartisan posted a prompt once to cross Sherlock Holmes and Haladriel, and once I get almost done with “Beautiful Creature” I plan to flesh that one out! Maybe. Jewel heist? Add in some Silmarillion??

30. Have you ever written something that was out of your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did it affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

Yes, when I was first writing, I started a fic to push myself out of my comfort zone for writing smut. I tried to include all kinds of bdsm and dom/sub situations. These have continued to play into my sex scenes. The most uncomfortable scene I did involved non-con. While I’ve still played around with it, it’s something I’ve tended to clarify in my scenes, that encounters may be conflicted or regretted, but not forced anymore. Nothing against those who write it or read it, but I tend to seek happy endings, and those are hard to overcome I think for love interests.

35. What aspects of your writing are completely unlike your real life?

Almost everything! I don’t have magic or wealth. While I did marry the angsty, brooding love of my life, he is blonde and blue eyed, not tall, dark, or morally grey 😝.

45. What's something you've improved on since you started writing fic?

I mean, I’m in my thirties now and I started writing when I was… 16? So I’d like to think everything. One main goal I have always had since taking fiction writing at a college level was to include all five senses. Things have taste and smell that often get neglected. And I also have a background in music, so I tend to try to use those terms to describe sounds. I think it adds to a reader’s understanding.

48. What's the last fic you read? Do you recommend it?

Literally just skipped between three fics:

One from my asker: @iamstartraveller776 “Next to You” for Captain Swan shipping from Once Upon a Time. WOULD TOTALLY RECOMMEND.

One from @haladriel her new work “The Sun Rising” WOULD ALSO TOTALLY RECOMMEND.

And lastly @myfavouritelunatic “The Blacksmith” my first and favorite venture into Sauron x reader pairing and I’m hooked WOULD ALSO TOTALLY RECOMMEND.

Thank you for asking, @iamstartraveller776
