13 + 16 + 23 :)
grrrrrr I wrote answers to two of these and then the page refreshed. >.>
13. your strengths as an author
apart from dialogue, I really am not sure? I’m good at overusing the same line over and over because it’s a fave. ooh I guess in my smut people always say they like that I have explicit consent in most of them and that I place a big emphasis on communication. I guess that’s a strength. idk. idk what else tbh. other than grammar, if that counts?
16. are there any characters who haunt you?
I wrote a long answer about my time in the hp fandom here. basically it’s not so much characters as it is stories. I feel like when I was in the hp fandom, I included issues that I wasn’t really ready to write about aged fifteen - abuse, drug use, euthanasia, that kind of thing. I thought I was being edgy and controversial but it was just Badly Written and I couldn’t see that at the time. so those fics that are still out there, I’m haunted by them, and some of the ones I’ve deleted, like this jily fic that had like wayyyyyy too much swearing in it, and my first ever femmeslash fic featuring dominique weasley and an oc of mine who was blaise zabini’s daughter which was a Disaster even with four betas, lmfao.
23. any obscure life experiences that you feel have helped your writing?
I guess baby speedy has helped whenever I’ve had to write babies. and when I was dealing with insomnia I ended up writing it into an olicity fic. same with some of my other mental health issues - I ended up channelling it into my current craze at the time, which was olicity (don’t make that face, meg).
