hi molly please can you tell me 2, 3, 38 and 40? love you!!!
hi meg!! <3
2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?
uhhhh yes and no? flirting and pining definitely make sense, those are very much standard in my fics. alcohol also makes sense since i try to be very thorough about tagging it.
established relationship is sort of shocking to me because i feel like i almost never write it unless it's a blurb continuation of an existing au, but i guess i've done a lot of prompts and such, and it adds up! college au is also sort of surprising, but i guess i do default to it a lot? it's just a setup that's familiar and easy for me to work within.
3. What are some tropes or details that you think are very characteristic of your fics?
answered here.
38. Did any of your fics get surprisingly popular (whatever that means to you)? Which ones? Why do you think they were so successful?
there are a couple that are fairly high on my stats that surprise me.
i hope the next boy that you kiss has something terribly contagious on his lips is one of my top 5 fics hits-wise and has a very high ratio of kudos and bookmarks, which is fascinating to me. it's muke! it's my one and only attempt at "enemies" to lovers! it's just so out of the ordinary for me it surprises me - and i think says something about there being a gap in the market for a certain sort of muke fic. The People want muke! (also interesting is this fic is one of the only examples of something that came easily to me. just poured out over the course of a few days. i wish i could say the same for fic exchange this time around! [insert dead eyed smiley].
40. Do you tend to reread fics or are you a one-and-done kind of person?
i definitely have certain fics/authors i return to over and over again (sometimes at the expense of reading newer things, oops). especially more recently, i'll revisit fics i know i love based on whatever vibes i'm looking for in the moment.
i cannot get over how happy luke looked in the carpool video, he was just so smiley and giggle and there was a part during lover of mine when mikey was doing the air guitar and he made luke laugh so hard, and the way he kept looking over at him.i mean cashton were cute when they would dance at the back, but this video was just such a win for muke because they both looked so damn happy and like they played off each other the whole time.
Agree! You can tell that they are still so in-tune with each other. It was great to see Luke carefree and happy - he usually is though when he’s not around Messy and he’s with the guys. Did you notice how they didn’t actually include much of LOM at all in the video? Thank God know one brought up that Messy co-wrote on the song.
