tysm @olives-and-lilies for the tag this is such a fun game :D everyone should go check out their art and such !
- how many works do you have on ao3?
-> oh buddy. one hundred and twentyyyyyy four
2. what's your ao3 word count?
3. what fandoms do you write for?
-> star wars, overwatch of late (just a little bit i PROMISE.), before that, marvel (comics, not that mcu shit), dc comics (and vertigo john constantine) (i think you can still find some very early proto-fics in the trenches of my ao3)
4. what are your top five fics by kudos?
5. do you respond to comments? why/why not?
-> guiltily looking away from my inbox. i generally try very hard to. i used to! ever since i stopped publishing/writing fic so much i've kind of neglected my inbox. i have to say tho, every comment ppl send in is very much appreciated and another inch of motivation for me to write and publish more fic and such, so if people feel moved to comment ... well who knows what might happen ....
6. what's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
-> i don't do unhappy endings or endless angst/hurt no comfort, with two exceptions--the road south (corrie-centric), and moon barks at dog (dogma-centric)
7. what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
-> not sure if this would be something that readers would agree with me on, but EYE think that horizontal transfer is the happiest ending i've written. moving forward. healing and growing beyond healing into someone whole, who can exist on their own terms. finding a meaning in what you do beyond simply doing it.
8. do you get hate on fics?
-> not generally! my commenters are pretty well-behaved, which is nice. i've gotten a few comments to keep going on oneshots (irritating, if not paired with enough complimentary shit to keep my ego going--for anyone inclined: if you're asking an author to keep going, or write a sequel, or more chapters, whatever, don't just go "hey i like this can you make more"--tell the author exactly what you like, in detail, for several sentences. and THEN you may politely ask if they would be so inclined to keep going--but every writer is different, and there may be writers that disagree with me on this), i've only gotten 1-2 typo correcting comments (note: don't do this unless it's explicitly asked for). the only thing that's ever come close was someone commenting smth like "why is obi-wan korean lol you didn't have to make him korean" on dancer in the dark but iirc they deleted soon after (and before i even got to reply ...) which i dont even think really counts as "hate" per se. just being kind of brainless, i think
9. do you write smut? if so what kind?
-> ANY KIND I THINK IS HOT!
10. do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?
-> they're not TECHNICALLY crossovers but my fusion AUs are kind of in this corner. the craziest would be the overwatch/star wars fusion fic where the stray things go, which is one of my more recent ones. obi-wan is a japanese assassin archer. cody is a sick ass supersoldier who fucks off and becomes a cowboy. need i say more. secondarily, the star wars/pacific rim fusion for dark day/brighter night
11. have you had a fic stolen?
-> not to my knowledge. i don't really care. i don't post my shit anywhere that's not ao3 or tumblr; don't post my shit into LLMs or chatgpt or whatever the fuck character ai bullshit people are using. obviously. no one else writes like me in the whole world &c &c so who cares
12. have you ever had a fic translated?
-> nope! might translate one of my own into korean someday when i have the time/inclination. have had a LOT of people make really awesome podfics for my shit though, which is super cool
13. have you ever co-written a fic before?
-> not really. some of my bang fics come close--for rules of ascension, i got a lot of ideas from my amazing artist @creaturething-otherentities (consider yourself tagged for this game as well, if you like!) and my wonderful beta @maderilien; the cyberpunk au base idea/prompt came from the artist for my reverse codywan bang fic empire + the sun, and i kind of regard all/most of my service varactyl boga fics to be a joint effort between me and the lovely people at the kenobi kafe when i was a part of that server :)
14. what's your all time favorite ship?
-> i simply do not have one. but i think top five contenders at the moment are codywan (commander cody/obi-wan kenobi), yeehan (cole cassidy/shimada hanzo), violyn (apparently the official name for caitlyn kiramman/vi arcane is caitvi but some enterprising redditor came up with violyn instead, which--i mean come on), pharmercy (fareeha amari/angela ziegler), and ramyatta (ramattra overwatch/tekhartha zenyatta). close runners-up are probably yanth/harrow/gideon from locked tomb and midpollo (apollo/midnighter)
15. what's a wip you'd like to finish, but doubt you ever will?
-> i would not like to finish straight to the heart and i doubt i ever will. i got fired from the coffee shop i was working at when i started it (NOT a big deal, this was years ago, also NOT my fault!) so i'm much more content leaving it in pieces. everything else i WILL be finishing, but hopefully vide noir will be getting its ending soon. sometime. super soon. probably. by year's end. i think. maybe.
16. what are your writing strengths?
-> i'm a huuuuuuge dialogue guy. i loooove to write dialogue. imagery as well.
17. what are your writing weaknesses?
-> i like to think my pacing has gotten quite good if not at least solid but it's definitely a mechanic i need to very consciously keep in mind while writing and structuring plots, so it's difficult to work with in a way that keeps me satisfied while also not making me lose my mind
18. thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
-> love that shit. i'll do it all the time. i love to see it.
19. first fandom you wrote for?
-> dc comics i Think. specifically? it must have been young justice but i simply do not remember
20. favorite fic you've ever written?
-> HMMMMMMMMM the dream fic i had in my head for from the left arm of the falconer. it didn't turn out anything like i planned or wanted (still good, just not--It) and i think i may like, post another part of it that's closer to what i was trying to do working from a different base. for existing fics? i'm a huge fan of that is that + this is this (codywan sad old men on tatooine during the timeline of kenobi series) and CHTHONIC (body/haunting horror commander fox-centric), which are two very different works but some of what i consider my best (fic) writing
