#sorry to overtag but i want as many people to see this as possible

Please give us your mild fic icks?

Mild? Mh, tbh I can be pretty resilient to mistakes if I think the plot is interesting. But I dislike some graphic things like too many spaces between paragraphs, or no spaces between paragraphs. Also mistakes in the name of the main characters. I also dislike stuff like calling people the brunette, the blonde, which is even worse in kpop because it becomes the blue, the green, the red. It's not like it can't be done once or twice, but there are both pronouns and first names, they're enough. Also it's rude to call people by the hair color ALL THE TIME.

I don't like when people are too self-disparaging in the author notes either. It's okay to warn that you're not a native speaker, or that it's your first fic and there might be many mistakes, but I hate when people straight out say that their fic sucks. If your fic sucks I don't really want to read it lol.

I also don't like overtagging. If a fic has too many tags and while looking at them I realize that most of them are useless I'm immediately turned off. The worst for me is when the author starts to have inner monologue in the tags. That's not what the tags are for imo, use your a/n, just give me crucial info about the fic in the tags? Like verse, possible warnings or sensitive content? Equally, you don't have to tag literally EVERYTHING in your fic, it just makes it harder for people to see the important warnings they might be looking for?

Sorry you said mild but this was nothing but mild.

Also I dislike public sex. But that's not mild either. I dislike it a lot.

the emoji ask meme is super fun! 💞 & 🤭, please and thank you!

welp, sorry this took me several weeks to get around to answering! Life and anxiety happens!!

💞 Who's your comfort character?

If you had asked me this back in 2021, I would have said writing Jaskier. Easy to fall into the sunshine-y bard with lots of feelings. This year I have really enjoyed and found a lot of comfort in writing Yen. I want to do a lot more with her while she's figuring out her heart and mind after she loses and gets her magic back. There's so much character growth here to play with and explore and I like trying to see things from her perspective. I also have a significant amount of emotional investment in Leshen Eskel which has become a very interesting and happy place for me to explore. Also it's so specific and niche and it's probably a little overwhelming from the outside perspective, ahaha. This comfort character is definitely not anyone else's comfort character but ayyyyy I love my tree boyfriend, okay.

🤭 Do you have a favorite tag to use when posting your works?

AO3 tags? Or tumblr tags? I am terrible at tagging, generally, and I spend too much time fretting over it.. and I end up thinking I overtag anyway, and probably feel like people are less likely to read the stuff based on my tags but I think that's just an anxiety brain thing. Anyway, I get a lot of mileage out of the AU - Canonical Divergence and Character Study tags. One of my favorite type of AUs to write and think about are those "what if things are like just slightly different enough to continue deviating slowly as time progresses?" Which is what you can see in my "what if Eskel survives?" and "what if Yen's magic doesn't feel/work the same way once she gets it back and it's a magical disability?" So many possibilities to run with here... it's catnip. Kuwdora-nip. But I really am hammering away at the softness/tenderness tags because I want my blorbos to have some soft, squishy emotional and physical intimacy. I also do plenty Hurt/Comfort, too. My favorite freeform tags this past year is 'soft sex comedy' -- which I get to use for a second time for an upcoming fic, yayyyy.

Anyway, gonna try to answer the rest of my asks this week! I got a lot of writing on my brain this month. Feel free to send me a witcher writing ask and I swear it won't be 3 weeks for me to answer.

donate 1 dollar or more to a blm charity or fund and i will draw a mini portrait of you (or an oc) in my sketchbook with your @ next to it OR do a tarot reading for you of your choice. 

i know its not much compared to what other people are offering, but i unfortunately don’t have my drawing tablet on hand and I know most people don’t have the money to donate 30 dollars or more with the pandemic. 

every dollar counts.
