What inspired you to write fanfic again after a long absence?
I've been struggling with how to answer this because I don't want to dredge up old tensions, but I do want to be honest. The main reasons I stopped writing were burnout—which does continue to be a thing and is why I'm generally less active these days—and vulnerability. Most of the worst experiences I've had in fandom involved the transformative side of things, hence my separate @wheel-of-fics sideblog and my long-term aversion to even reading fanfiction.
The years away from fanfic (and a year away from Tumblr) gave me time to recharge and heal. I think at some point I'd seen so much ridiculous fandom drama repeat itself that I made peace with the fact that it's always going to be there, and you just have to distance yourself from it as much as possible (even when you're put in a callout post or left trolling reviews or passive-aggressively blogged about, all of which I have been!). The opinions and harassment of a few aren't worth giving up something you like to do. And I really missed working with words! There's something so satisfying about crafting a good sentence.
Also, this story idea was rattling around in my head for like two years. It needed out. :P

WIP Questions Tag
Thanks to @ceph-the-ghost-writer for the tag! You can see their post here.
1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?
I think my co-writer and I first came up with the core cast of Alex, Reeve, Hannah, and Gareth. It all spiraled out of the control from there.
2. If your story was a TV show, what would the intro song be?
3. Who are your favourite character(s) and why?
Gahhhh that's such a hard question!! I'll say Reeve because I'm a sucker for a character with a whole universe of shit going on underneath a controlled stoic surface. And while he fucks up sort of a lot, he's also clever as fuck and never stops trying to do the right thing.
4. What other pieces of media could share a fan base with your WIP?
This question is tougher than the first! I'll go with Witch Hunter Robin.
5. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP?
Managing the puzzle of it all! Sunset is several different storylines and locations and casts that cross and intersect and run into each other over the course of a decade or so--all in the process of the story threads eventually converging at the climax. That's A LOT of timing to keep straight and a lot of pieces to make sure nothing gets left behind.
6. Are there any animals in your story?
Oh, just a sweet little hamster named Baguette!
(Plus Chicklet the chicken and a couple of slobbery dogs in later volumes and of course our shifter characters, like Darwin and Sunny, who can change into an animal form.)
7. How do your characters get around?
Any and all modern transport ways--plus teleportation when there's a teleporter (and anti-nausea meds) handy.
8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?
Working on filling in the gaps of Volume Three!
9. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?
I'd be really interested to hear what readers have to say about this because I really don't know!
If I had to guess I'd say they came the superpowered people--but stayed for the Baguette Updates.
I'll no-pressure tag @kahvilahuhut @gracehosborn @pandoras-comment-box and @toribookworm22
