20 Questions For Fic Writers!

Thank you so much for the tag, @honeyteacakes!! I loved reading your responses. This was so much fun to do.

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

35! Some of them are locked to attempt to minimise AI scraping.

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

44,236 holy shit

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, I’m pretty deeply embedded in the Sandman-verse. But I’ve also written an AC Odyssey fic recently.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I’m skipping this one because I embedded so many links in this post and I don’t wanna do it anymore. 😂 And people can just filter by kudos on AO3 if they’re interested.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I respond EXTREMELY slowly, but I make every effort to reply to comments when I have the energy to spare. It means a lot to me when people take the time to tell me what they liked about my stories.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oooh. Good question. It’s either “pour the dirt into our bed” (Ranger’s Apprentice, referencing homophobia faced in a queerplatonic relationship) or “if you want voices in the dark, listen to mine” (Good Omens, after a temptation gone wrong.)

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I write a fair amount of tender stories, so there are a lot of possible answers to this one! Potentially it’s “our place in the sun” (Sandman, Lucienne/Calliope domestic fluff) which is all about coming to rest and settling into love. Another option is “throw down that spade and dig up the garden” (Good Omens, Ineffable Husbands) which is about…pretty much the same thing, now that I think about it. 😂

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully not. I genuinely can’t understand why people leave hate comments on fics. Sure, there’s a lot of things I take issue with in certain fandoms, but I bitch about that stuff strictly IN MY OWN SPACE, I absolutely do not barge into other people’s spaces to do it. I never will and you can hold me to that.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I WANT TO. I’m working on it!! I actually have a smut prompt ask game queued up for next year, when I’ll have fewer writing obligations. As for what kind, I want to write so much femslash smut. There is devastatingly little in the Sandman fandom.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

OHOHOHO. I have written a Los Simuladores/Good Omens crossover and it is genuinely one of my favorite stories that I’ve ever written. “every morning the same big and little words all spelling out desire” is appropriately zany, hopefully sexy, and seasoned with a dash of angst to balance the flavors.

(Shout out to @jlemonster for writing such a glowing post about it, it makes me happy just remembering it.)

Another crossover I’m working on is Johanna Constantine/Mary Poppins. I PROMISE it will make sense when it’s written. …well, maybe. 😂

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Nope.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes!!! As part of Fandom Trumps Hate this year I had two fics of mine wonderfully translated into Spanish by @yourneighborhoodneighbor and it was an amazing experience.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope. I don’t know if that would work with my writing habits, tbh. Maybe someday though, if the right idea and right person come along!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

Oh GOD. Complicated question!! There are ships I’m currently enamored of, obviously, but who knows if they’ll stand the test of time? I know that Kaz/Inej (Six of Crows) and Irina/Jack (Alias) did something to my adolescent brain that may never be undone, but that’s the closest I can get to an answer to this question.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I’ve got a Good Omens Ineffable Wives AU inspired by Anne of Green Gables that is very dear to me, and has many aspects I’m extremely proud of, but I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it. My interest in Good Omens has flagged of late and unfortunately I don’t know if I’ll complete many of my WIPs for that fandom!

16. What are your writing strengths?

I like to think I have a good grasp on characters’ voices! Also, I think I write tactile and descriptive details well.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

TRANSITIONS ARE THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I have done it once!!! For the aforementioned Los Simus fic. It was so much fun, and a good challenge for me. The dialogue was in Spanish (with very valuable help from @thisisnotjuli) and I loved writing how the two characters spoke in somewhat differing dialects.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Oh, lord. Probably Harry Potter? By hand, in a notebook from the dollar store. I was probably about eight or nine.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

They’re my children. My babies. My beloved frogspawn. I can’t give a definite answer, but…two of the stories that I worried my lip over the most for dread of failing to do them justice, the ones I think I put the most heart and consideration and care into, are “it’s an old song (and we’re gonna sing it again)” (Sandman, Calliope & Dream + healing and rediscovery and intimacy and changed but no less important relationships) and “sister dear, bear me away” (Good Omens, a human AU about gender discovery).

No pressure tags: the usual suspects <3 @pyrocephalus-rubinus @fatcatgospel and Juli, as well as @zorawitch @azi-sings-calliope @cosmictapestry, and anyone else who reads this and wants to talk about their creations!!

#sunbreak writes #tag game #i love talking about my writing!!!!!

1. Best Behaviour by idleside [Daphne/Pansy/Harry, E, 20k]

When these three "leftovers" find themselves without any other prospects at the end of the night, bemoaning their singledom at an afterparty at Daphne's flat makes sense, right? After all, they can't stay on their best behaviour forever.

3. Emerald Flight 2017 by megamatt09 [Fem!Harry/Kara Zor-El, Fem!Harry/Multi, E, 279k]

5. Français by not_here_leave_a_message [Fleur/Hermione, T, 4k]

Viktor was subtle but straight-forward. He had questions and he asked them and he got to know her that way. And Fleur? Fleur was a mess who aired her woes about her crush to her friends. In French...too bad Hermione speaks French. Sshhh!

6. I'll Show You by hinamori_kidou_apprentice [Hermione/Lily Luna, Hermione/Lily Luna/Harry, E, 8k]

9. Sleepover at the Weasleys by prettyperversities (ellebesea) [Luna/Ginny, Luna/Arthur/Ginny, E, 2k]

It’s just a normal sleepover with her friend Luna, right up until Ginny learns that her mum will be away for the night. She always has more fun when Mum is away.

10. Underneath the Table by maraudersaffair [Hermione/Pansy, E, 1k]

Pansy is sick of being ignored. To gain Hermione's attention, she crawls under the table to eat her out.

This is a gift, from me to you... and to Sydney. Every time she looks at you, I want her to think of me. And one day, whether you choose to or not, you will help me destroy her.

Tagged by @violetoftheendless !! Thank you 💛💛💛

Favorite Color: Blue!

Last Song: She’s Got Her Ticket by Tracy Chapman (I got kind of fucked up thinking about the lyrics “young girl ain’t got no chances / no roots to keep her strong” oh my HEART)

Last TV Series: Castle! I’m rewatching it. This is my favorite mediocre TV show, right after Alias. Although Alias might count as a favorite bad show, to be honest

Last Movie: Nimona, and it was precisely as good as everyone said it was. It gave me hella How to Train Your Dragon vibes

Currently Working On: GOD. *hides face in hands* I just want to finish something, for the love of everything…anyway: organisation of a Sandman femslash event; replies to several friends; a Lucienne character study/backstory fic; and at least three Lucienne x Calliope fics.

DCTV moodboards: Goldennews (Iris/Lisa) - Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles AU

Quote is from the Terminator films. Made for Femslash February 2021 and square O5 “Why did you come back?” on my @flarrowverse-shipyard bingocard. Also have a bit of a ficlet for the scenario too, below the read more.

---

The static of the electrical storm has barely dispersed before Iris is asking the time traveler “Why did you come back?”

The woman doesn't flinch at the gun pointed at her, the one that tracks her head as she unfurls to stand tall. She's completely unashamed at her lack of clothes, and neither does she show any excitement or fear - blank in every way. Machine, but not attacking, not yet.

“I am programmed to protect you, Iris West, and to protect Nora West-Allen, the future leader of the resistance.”

“I'm doing just fine on my own. I don't need a machine's help.”

“You have no more choice than I do. The timeline must be protected at any cost.”

She tries to ditch the terminator, to no avail. Her old tricks don't work on this new model that reforms the golden liquid metal around anything she can throw at it. She just keeps coming, and she doesn't attack, simply follows, relentless in her new mission. That's when Iris realizes she probably does need the help. If any more like her turn up, Iris wouldn't be able to manage, not even with Cisco and Caitlin and Harry as backup. How to disable this model is an issue she needs to solve, but it makes more sense to go along with this plan for the time being.

Iris isn't sure what to call her at first. It's not important to have a name but things are easier once they do. Other than a model number, T5279, she mentions Lisa as a past alias and Iris asks why rather too casually, not expecting the answer to hit her so hard.

“My original function was as an infiltration unit. Resistance member Lisa Snart was apprehended in sector 52, on 1.3.2022. After sufficient questioning, I took her form. Advanced brain scans were used to construct a simulation of her neural pathways and assist in the objective.”

The real Lisa Snart is dead, somewhere in a future Iris hopes never comes to pass. The machine adopts more human habits over time, possibly to put Iris at ease, although being reminded of the human she replaced doesn't help there. Eventually, despite herself, Iris becomes accustomed to it all. To the sometimes poorly timed puns and lines that from anyone else she'd take as flirting. As Iris watches machine imitate humanity, sometimes she thinks about all those mannerisms that seem so genuine and wonders how much of Lisa lives on.

If people are the sum total of their experiences and memories, what does it mean that a machine could replicate them perfectly? That's all they are though, Iris reminds herself, a perfect imitation lacking in spontaneity, with no growth. Often this Lisa will recount a memory as if it's nothing more than a distant flow of information that shapes her strategy for how to fit in, and that's what catches Iris out, the regular enough warning to not get so comfortable around her temporary ally.

Except then she spies Lisa leaving in the middle of the night when no reconnaissance was discussed. Iris has to take a moment to quell the fear that Lisa has finally turned on them, working for her own agenda, but Iris gets on the case anyway, because they need to know the truth. Tailing her very carefully, Iris is surprised to end up parked out front of a closed skating rink. Following Lisa inside, she doesn't expect to see her protector gliding elegantly across the ice. Lisa continues despite the audience, a series of ever-increasingly difficult moves that almost make Iris dizzy watching. And right at the end, there is a moment she falters, just a little wobble on her landing, near perfect. Knowing what she is capable of, the deliberate imperfection is jarring.

“Why did you do that?”

“Perfection is suboptimal. Value is derived from the struggle for perfection. Without the illusion of effort, my mimicry would be perceived as empty, soulless. I would have failed in my objective.”

Iris doesn't know how to feel about this, but she knows then that she can't continue to sit and wait for the world to end. For this to be not just her reality, but everyone's – humanity proved replaceable. She doesn't want Nora to become some savior of the world that places too large a burden on her. And she doesn't want Lisa Snart to die the same way a second time, remaining only in the digital echoes of a machine, however good an imitation it can be.

She needs to take this fight – a fight that has really always been her fight - to the future. And she knows exactly who to start recruiting once she gets there. A woman who's likely to be uniquely motivated by the machine at her side, and her exceedingly protective (and fairly badass) family that Iris already feels like she knows so well. All she has to do is figure out some watertight logic to convince a machine first, or otherwise find another way to get this Lisa to go with the new program...
