ah dalawa, thank you for the cursed ask. my apologies for my lateness, pls forgive 🙏

8. have you ever been commissioned by the devil to write? if so, what was your payment?

not one single person asked for a fic about tarlos watching twilight, so that MUST have been the devil. also, i wrote a fic about card counting once - it's based in Sin City, so i'm guessing the devil had a hand in that one too. anyway, the asshole left me with nothing (not even my sanity) so...i'm still waiting to collect.

5. when future scholars analyse your work, which one will they find most puzzling?

definitely down for the count because everyone and their dog knows i can't do math, and yet i was like HMM let's write a fic all about COUNTING?! poor @rmd-writes was like 'um im gonna assume this math is right...' and i was like... that's dangerous for everyone involved.

(I think the original post said meme, but anyway, I changed it SORRY)

Thank you to rae (rmd) and rae (rat) for the tags - @rmd-writes @iboatedhere - i really wanted to do this one because i'm approaching the 1 million word mark and suddenly i'm looking at my ao3 stats more than normal lol.

Looking forward to my tongue kiss terribly - it is now but only four months away!

30. Have you ever written something outside your comfort zone? If so, what was it, and how did affect your approach to writing fic thereafter?

Okay, firstly. "thereafter"? Was that really necessary? This is tumblr.

Anyway, I'd say Down for the Count. I mean, I don't do math and I had to learn how to count cards for this fic, as well as learn how to play Texas Hold 'Em, because I've only ever played strip poker and it ended poorly for me (having not known the rules properly). But yes, learning basic theory, the high/low method and how to keep track of running and true counts was very tricky for my simple brain.

And it affected my writing thereafter by teaching me to never do anything with math again.

42. Have you ever received a comment that stood out for a particular reason?

I refuse to answer this by pointing out the mean ones, so I'm gonna say that one you left on Speak for Yourself about seagulls (see sample below, there were a few), the one @everwitch-magiks left on the same fic inviting me to be friends with y'all and various ones from @chaa-kiao that were so chaotic I cried with laughter.
