The devastating difference between how much time it takes to write something vs how fast people read it lol

#this is lovely #writing #(although cooking absolutely is creation but the metaphor is still good)

20 Questions for Fic Writers

Thanks to @ninzied for the tag!

How many works do you have on ao3?

120!

What's your total ao3 word count?

1,371,932

What fandoms do you write for?

RWRB, TMFU, Lokius

Top five fics by kudos:

Please Don't Let Me Be So Understood

Nova, Baby

Class(room) Warfare

All the Old Showstoppers

Always Where I Need To Be

Do you respond to comments?

I try. I used to be very good at responding but my backlog has gotten extreme (1491 unanswered comments as of right now, if you're curious) so at this point I pretty much only answer if it's a chapter in an ongoing multichap, or someone asks a question.

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I have a caradin fic that's straight up a break-up fic with no resolution, but I still feel like my angstiest is probably Black Moon (napollya), because they're in love but the situation is so fucking bleak. Sorry guys.

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Any of them that end with a proposal lol? I've got a lot of fluffy fics and all of my long fics end with pure fluff, so I don't think I could pick out one.

Do you get hate on fics?

I have been lucky not to really get any, at least lately. I've gotten... less than polite comments, of course, but no outright hate (knock on wood).

Do you write smut?

Yes, although I would not say it's an integral part of my writing tbh.

Craziest crossover:

Craziest might be Maybe, This Time, which is a Mandalorian/BSG crossover that involves dimension-hopping lol.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! I've had a few of my TMFU works translated and now there's someone in the RWRB fandom that translates most (!!) of my fics into Mandarin, which is mind blowing and flattering and I'm so grateful because I've gotten comments from people who have read them translated and loved them.

Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Not yet!

All time favorite ship?

I don't think I can pick one; some of my past ships are just that—past—but there are a few I will carry in my heart forever.

What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

If I want to finish it, I will, even if it takes a long time. I might stop wanting to finish a wip, but that's not the question is it?

What are your writing strengths?

Banter/dialogue, action, pacing, plots. People have told me that they can picture my scenes like a movie because of the description and that makes me feel good.

What are your writing weaknesses?

Although I have my moments, I don't really tend to think of my writing as beautiful. I'm just not that poetic/lyrical.

Thoughts on dialogue in another language?

Sure! If it's in my own fic I usually have a native speaker look over it (I haven't done this lately but I have gotten Russian consults for TMFU fics).

First fandom you wrote in?

Xena: Warrior Princess, back when that show was airing. Fanfic primarily distributed over internet mailing lists and posted on your own website.

Favorite fic you've written?

Stealing Nina's idea and doing one in each of my main fandoms I've written in because it's hard to pick (even then this was rough).

Nova, Baby Series—Spy AU, Firstprince

Love is a Losing Game—Chess AU, Napollya (SHOCKER I KNOW)

What Makes a Good Man Series—Spy AU, Lokius

Here It Goes Again—The Mandalorian (Caradin but mostly Din character study in a time loop)

I'm not sure who's been tagged and who hasn't or even everyone who has done this, but a few tags below the cut. If you'd like to do it, jump in!

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

#this happened to me in college on the red line thanks chicago #I kinda went ‘wtf???’ and walked away #after years of interacting with corpses teaching anatomy I am now completely desensitized though

Okay, so... I wrote this bit at 2AM and then waited to post it until it was a reasonable hour, so it is very much not Wednesday, but time is fake and we're all in different timezones anyway, so... To quote Miss Sabrina Carpenter, my give-a-fucks are on vacation.

Thank you to @magicandarchery, @thesleepyskipper, @firenati0n, @cha-melodius, @three-drink-amy, and @kiwiana-writes for the tags this week! Love y'all!

Here is an epistolary piece from the actor/playwright au. I obviously have not named the play yet, lmfao:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK (April 8, 2019) — The Okonjo Theatre Company is pleased to announce its latest theatrical triumph, 'TBD.' This production is the long-awaited Broadway debut of Olivier-winning playwright, Henry Fox, and it promises to be a deeply moving journey ripped from the pages of his personal journal. "I'm quite thrilled to debut this piece in New York," says Fox. "This work is closer to my heart than anything I've done before—and much of it is a tribute to my father. He was immensely fond of the city, and of North American theatre, so it feels like this play is premiering precisely where it belongs." Spanning a twenty-five year timeline, 'TBD' places the audience in the vivid imagination of a playwright attempting to write his life story. It will be led by Alex Claremont-Diaz, cast in the principle role simply known as The Author. 'TBD' will also feature a small, intimate ensemble—including two actors playing younger versions of Diaz's character.

Tagging some lovelies under the cut. If you have not been tagged and you want to be, consider this your tag!
