20 questions for fic writers!
Thanks for the tag @maesterchill! Read their answers HERE.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
My stats tell me that I've written 50, but 5 are multi-chapter collections, so... a lot. Yeah.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
733,820. If you asked me three years ago if I could ever write that much I would've laughed in your face. Isn't growth amazing?
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter (though I do read some Good Omens, Carry on Simon and Bagginshield stuff)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
UGH. I don't want to be honest here, since 2 of the five are Dramione fics I've now listed as ANON because of harassment reasons. I'll give you the NEXT five instead ;)
1. 93 Diagon Alley (Harry x George) They were roommates
2. HP Cocktober 2022 Collection (Multiple) Prompt fest
3. Solace (Harry x George) Unhealthy coping mechanisms (sex)
4. When Malfoy Met Granger... (Draco x Hermione) WHMS remake
5. Mistletoe, or Die F***ing (Harry x Fred x George) Self-explan.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes. I try to, because the BEST part of sharing is connecting with people who enjoy what I've done. Community, ya know?
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Mastermind (Draco x Hermione, Draco x Harry, Draco x Ron, Ron x Harry) The worst UHEA I've ever inflicted on y'all is this Dronarry fest 2023 story. Dark stalker Draco goes off the rails in the end. It's a masterpiece, I'm so proud of it.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
From Sunset to Star Rise (Harry x Ron) Cozy fall vibes, falling in love, little to no angst (Ron has a tiny bit of anxiety, that's all)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yes. Mainly the bigger ship ones (Dramione, looking at you) If you're wondering WHY I write rare pairs a lot, it's because rare pair fandom is a safe space with AWESOME people. We may be few in number, but WE GO HARD and LOVE HARDER.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
ALL KINDS (though I'm not great a fluffy smut). Check out my HP Kinktober Collection 2023 posting daily RIGHT NOW. It's very kinky and dark.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
The closest I've come to crossover is more like "inspired by a vibe." I wrote a Community (TV Series) inspired paintball fic here: All's Fair in Love & War & Paintball (multiple ships)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No, BUT I've had people post me on Goodreads. Read my thoughts on why this is bad fandom etiquette HERE
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I've had many requests, but no one has followed through yet.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
No! But I'm interested in this concept, especially if the co-author is someone I vibe with.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
STAWP. It's too hard a question! Lately, I'm obsessed with Dronarry, and any combination of those three.
I also think I'm more in love with stories than ships. If it's an amazing story I end it with "OMG this is the BEST EVER" and I say it about a lot of ships.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I'm writing a multichap Drarry fic where Draco is a wandmaker, and it's falling in love fluff. I'm terrified to write them because I feel like I'll get torn to shreds because the Drarry fandom is too amazing for the likes of little old me. I'll just read Drarry and call it good, and MAYBE I'll get the courage to finish someday.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Ideas. I'm chockful of ideas. Also, I read a ton, so I think the more you read, the better you write.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Fluff. I HATE writing fluff. Why is it so hard?
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I don't typically do it because I'm monolingual and don't want to fuck it up. I don't mind when others do it
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter!
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
How to Care for Your Monster Book: A Guide by Rubeus Hagrid (Hagrid x Monster Book of Monsters)
Y'aaaaaallll... I have no regrets about this fic. It's the only fic I've ever written that is perfect, I'll never top it, it's just so funny and weird (like me).
Tagging: @the-francakes @mugsdontlie @swoontodeath @vukovich @mintawasalreadytaken @peachpety @nv-md @lumosatnight and anyone else who wants to

𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐲 𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬!
Thank you for the tag @swifty-fox 🥰
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
56
2. What's your total ao3 word count?
443,378 ✨️
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Only Masters of the Air at the moment! Previously, HOTD, Heartstopper, Drarry, Marvel, BoB (on my old account).
4. Top five fics by kudos
Cascade (Drarry) - 5,658 kudos
Once and Never Again (Drarry) - 4,523 kudos
Desire Lines (Heartstopper) - 4,255 kudos
Reminisce (Heartstopper) - 3,778 kudos
Baby News (Drarry) - 2,858 kudos
5. Do you respond to comments?
I try to respond to every comment. I really appreciate all of them, they mean the world to me ❤️ I wasn't able to keep responding to everything on some of my old stories in huge fandoms. 😔
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I usually write happy endings, but I have two fics where the main couple ends up separated by distance. They swear to keep the relationship alive, but who knows. The saddest of the two is probably Scorpion Grass (Loki/Mobius fic).
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Reverie 🥰✨️ The war is over, they reconnect in body and soul, they love each other and are planning a future together. The ending they deserved!
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Usually not, but the HOTD fandom was astonishingly toxic and almost killed my love for writing. They left hate on almost everyone’s fics. Sometimes I consider deleting my HOTD fics because they don’t bring me good feelings anymore because of this.
9. Do you write smut?
Do I! Writing it as we speak 😉 When it comes to smut, I usually write porn with feelings.
10. Craziest crossover?
I wrote a crossover between HOTD and The Last Kindom: A Red Dawn Rises
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yes, in the HOTD fandom. But managed to sort it out with the other person.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, 4 so far! 😊 Thank you so much to the lovely people who translated them.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not yet, but @hogans-heroes and I have a fic idea that we might do one day.
14. All time favorite ship?
Hard to choose, but I'll say Clegan. They're a beautiful pairing, a balm to my soul.
15. What's a wip you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
None at the moment. There’s one on my old account (a Speirton post-war fic) that I wish I finished but I don't even remember what I wanted to write there.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Setting descriptions, sensuality and hurt/comfort 😊
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Period-typical dialogue, not enough focus on side characters
18. Thoughts on dialogue in another language?
If our POV character isn't supposed to understand it, I like it when the translation is at the bottom, otherwise I prefer the translation right after the line or the entire dialogue in English, but stating that they used another language.
19. First fandom you wrote in?
I think it was Harry Potter with my brother 😂 We didn’t even know what fanfic was, just wanted Marauders stories.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Reverie! ❤️ I'm very happy with it and can clearly see the improvement compared to my older stories. I also love Cascade (Drarry fic).
This was a fun way to reflect on my writing, I don't do this often. I'm tagging @hogans-heroes @stereobone and @nicijones if they want to do it 😊

20 questions for fic writers
thank you for the tag @squintclover! This came at just the right time - I need to do something fun and I love these kinds of posts!
Username: wolfpants
1. How many works do you have on A03? 64
2. What’s your total Ao3 word count? 748k
3. What fandoms do you write for? Just Harry Potter!
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Romp and Circumstance (Drarry)
Pages of You (Drarry)
Forever Live and Die (Wolfstar)
Led By Light of a Star Sweetly Gleaming (Wolfstar)
Terrible People (Drarry)
5. Do you respond to comments? I try to, but I'm quite slow 😭 Just know that I read, adore, and love every single one of them. My heart skips a little beat whenever I get a comment notification in my emails. It's such a wonderful feeling, and I am incredibly grateful!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? It's a toss up between Music, When Soft Voices Die (James/Albus tragiporn) and Spellbound (Dralbus kidnapping dddne fic).
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Oh, god, like all of them! I write happy endings for pretty much all of my fics. It was nice to give Drarry a happy ending in Thickets after decades of being apart.
8. Do you get hate on fics? Unfortunately, from time to time!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I do. Most of my fics are rated E. I write mlm smut.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written? I have never written a crossover. But I have a Drarry WIP planned for later this year which may fall into this category, pulling up an old fandom I used to read but have never written for 👀 So look out for that, because I am daring to dream a little bigger... darling...
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated? No.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before? Not yet ;)
14. What’s your all time favorite ship? Drarry, but Wolfstar is very up there too and although I haven't written or read them in a while, I do have a big soft spot for them.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Perhaps my Drarry Bridget Jones fic, or my Dronarry in Malta fic.
16. What are your writing strengths? I don't think I'm best placed to answer this - only people who read my stuff can answer that! I will say I can be quite a fast writer.
17. What are your writing weaknesses? Same answer as above!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I can't, because I don't know any other languages!
19. First fandom you wrote for? Harry Potter! A very short fic about Draco having a crush on Professor Lupin. I wrote it when I was about fourteen years old and I am certain it was hideously OOC.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written? I can't look back at it much (or most of my fics tbh!) but I do have a very soft spot for Pages of You, because it was my first Drarry fic.
no pressure tagging @hoko-onchi-writes @apricitydays-lazynights @arminaa8 @sleepstxtic @citrusses and anyone who sees this and wants a go!

20 questions for fic writers!
I wasn’t tagged *sad face* but decided to do this anyway. Even if no one reads, I’ll have a record.
Here are mine! (under the cut)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 111 works right now. (mostly fics and some poorly done art)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
768,637
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter!! Mostly Drarry and a couple Snape/Hermione
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
We Found Love Right Where We Are (mpreg)
The One Where Draco Loses his Mind and Gains a Boyfriend
There's No Espresso in Azkaban
Into My Heart
Regardless of desire, life hands you who you are
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I really try to, but especially when it's a fest fic I feel like I keep saying the same things over and over. Sometimes I try to go back – but truly I suck at responding.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
There are two: First: All you left me (are the whispers in the wind) and also Then the Tears Fall Both are MCD…so yeah
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Except for those two I'm all about the happy ending. I guess the endings I like the best are Every Hour Has Led to This and The White Dragon
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Only once. I took some real shit on a fic I wrote over 10 years ago.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Personally, I think I'm an abysmal smut writer. And it's only if a fic if I feel it works. Outside of a few things, I generally don't add smut for the sake of the rating.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Nope
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
There's No Espresso in Azkaban into Korean - HERE and into German HERE
The Toad's Hollow School into
German: HERE and into Spanish: HERE
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes – a few times. I co-wrote with @timothysboxers, and a little ficlet with @lettersbyelise and @maesterchilland. I've also done one with oldenuf2nb. I'm always up for a collab.
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
Drarry – hands down. Once I found the pairing there was no turning back.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
A couple. One I'm working on (sort of) and the other continues to lie dormant from 2012. If I do ever pick it up again, I'll have to really almost start over. I think my style has changed since then.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think I do okay at dialogue and plot. But honestly I'm a much better continuity beta (for everyone but myself)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Being overly detailed. I must keep telling myself every minute of every day does not have to be accounted for. It's my nit-picky nature that often tires me out and why things go unfinished.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I don't do it much. Lord knows I have enough trouble with English. On one hand it frustrates me, since I don't know what it says and if they add the translation – it distracts me. On the other hand, it's generally not enough for me to hit the back button.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter. First and only!
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Really…I can't pick one. The two I mentioned above for their endings come to mind. Is it cocky to say if I posted it – I actually liked it? But the one I'm most proud of was my Big Bang fic - Every Hour has Led to This.
No tags, but feel free to do it if you're of a mind.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
Thank you so much for the tags @maesterchill @basicallyahedgehog and @tackytigerfic, I loved reading your answers (here and here and here). I feel like an imposter filling this out (I just started publishing fics in August!) but here we go! Answers below the cut
How many works do you have on ao3?
3
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
~42K
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter, specifically drarry (with one guest appearance by a very sad, sexy Sirius).
4.. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The most kudos-ed is The Roommates*, which is a Sirius/Draco + Drarry endgame little piece of filth. My Suds fic, Löyly, has the second most kudos, followed by the rowing AU WIP, Our Objective Remains Unchanged.
(*PS fellow americans who probably already know this: roommates does not have quite the same meaning in the UK as it does in the US, oops!)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! I am so honored by every comment I have gotten. I also love leaving comments, though I never do so with the expectation of a response. I think comments are such a lovely way to extend the joy of the fic as a reader. If a writer wants to respond I love it, if not, that doesn't detract from the joy of commenting!
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Nothing yet, I really love an unhappy/ambiguous ending so I hope I can write more of that in the future.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Only two of my published fics HAVE endings... but Löyly is probably the softest, though I actually think the ending of Roommates is quite sweet.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not yet :)
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
So far everything I've written is rated E. I surprised myself with 3 E fics right out the gate. I get very stressed that my smut is corny. In my two shorter fics the sex is very much driving the plot—non-explicit versions would be inherently different stories. In OORU I think it's more about the ways the characters do and don’t understand each other, and how that manifests in all their interactions, physical and otherwise, which didn’t need to be E-rated to work, but that’s how I ended up writing it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I haven't yet. I can't think of anything I would want to write as a crossover but never say never.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
no
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not yet! Another thing that seems like a cool challenge. I could see myself enjoying co-writing a lot (I love talking about fics/ideas with people), but I also am so self-conscious about my own writing that I feel like it would be very hard for me to overcome those insecurities enough to write with someone else.
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
Drarry forever. Enemies to lovers will always be my favorite dynamic, so I came into Drarry jazzed about the ship, but the creativity of this fandom, the talent of the authors, and the fact that I have read so many iterations of this pairing and still am consistently astounded by the complexity and originality of these fics -- what else could compare?
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
The first thing I started writing in this iteration of my fandom life was a time travel fic where Harry is a disillusioned, socially-scorned ministry underling and he and Draco have to work together to stop an apocalypse that they learn about from a time traveler from the future. I have like 20K written and a bunch of it that I really like, but I just don't know if I'll ever have the motivation to return to it. It needs to be quite plotty and I struggle with that.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I find writing dialogue comes more easily.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
When I read I don't really visualize what I'm reading, it's more like I really feel the emotions of the writing. When there's a particularly beautiful descriptive passage in writing I really appreciate that, but more for the craft of the sentence. Because that's how I read, I tend to skip illustrative prose in my own writing, and I think that is a pretty glaring weakness. I am trying to work on it! And then also plot. PLOT.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I haven't done much of it -- Draco quotes a few Finnish words in Löyly, but he's not meant to be fluent (so perhaps he’s not even getting the words right) and there's either context to make clear what he's trying to say or it doesn’t matter if he’s understood (because Harry is so horny that he can’t even hear). I think it's very fun when writers play with polyglotism (?) in fics, though I also think it's quite challenging to do! I also love when things are hidden from the characters/reader in fic and language can be a good way to do that.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I honestly don't know -- I wrote a lot of "fic" for myself as a kid that I never even put on the internet. My old fanfiction.net account of stuff I actually published is still up and I could't take it down if I wanted to, so that's... out there.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Not to cheat but I really think I haven't written it yet. I love all my fics, and each of them was a very different and rewarding experience to write, but I do feel l haven't yet written a fic that, as tacky said in their post, is exactly the fic I wanted it to be. Here's hoping that happens!
Tagging @nv-md @sweet-s0rr0w @wolfpants @thehoneybeet @mintawasalreadytaken @kittycargo and anyone else who hasn’t done this yet!

20 questions for fic writers!
Thanks for the tag @cassiaratheslytherpuff, it was really interesting to read your answers! And fuck, I remember that WIP about Muggles fighting Wizards and suppressing their magic, so if you ever do reignite that, hit me up!
Here are mine! (under the cut)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 112 works right now. (64 fics, 40 artworks, 4 poems & 4 podfics)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
422,153, which averages around 7k per fic... sounds about right, most of mine are short form.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter!! Various ships but mostly Drarry
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
(All Drarry - All Explicit 😂)
December Never Felt So Wrong, 50k, E (The memory loss one)
My Heart was far too glad, 22k, E (The double mpreg birthing class one)
When The Fallout Comes, 7k, E (the hand kink one)
Every Day is Leg Day, 2k, E (the seven days of significant legs one)
Eat Me, 11k, E (the chocolate cock one)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes. I'm SO grateful to people for reading and taking the time to leave me a comment, so I like to thank them for that.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Definitely my Dron fic, Primum Non Nocere (1.8k, M). Sorry, Ron!! No HEA for you in that one 😬
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Wow that's a toughie. Most of my fics have some sort of happy sappy ending. Maybe Threads of Hope (5k, T) for the family feels and for 'Harry was happy on Halloween'. 💖
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not really. A few strange comments from time to time and people not agreeing with my choices for characters or plot, but nothing hateful!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I don't think of myself as a smut writer, only 22 of my 64 fics are rated Explicit. Nor is the smut especially kinky - have dabbled in hand kink and watersports but that's about it.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Not exactly, but I collabed on an LCDrarry fic/art combo that was based on the trolley scene from Meet Me in St Louis, with Draco as Esther and Harry as John.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Once - into Russian. So people can now read about Гарри Поттер and Драко Малфой enjoying a hand job in the Room of Requirement.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Yes - quite a few! I've co-written 5 or 6 fics with @timothysboxers, I wrote a fic with 20 other authors once, which was wild, and recently wrote a little ficlet with @lettersbyelise and @sassy-cissa. Tim and I are working on another one right now - wish us luck! 😅 *sweats in writer's block*
I've also collabed on 2 podfics. And have at various times and with various people participated in a fic & art collab where one of us draws and the other person writes. It's so great being creative with others!
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Drarry. 🤷♂️
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
SO MANY. I have a lots of WIPs and some of them I *might* finish some day (or so I tell myself). But I think the George/Angelina one I started in 2018 will probably never get finished. I realise you'll all be sadface emoji about that. 😂
16. What are your writing strengths?
I really don't know. I am GREAT at starting a fic, getting the first scene and a half down. That is my superpower.
I'm ok at dialogue I think?
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Following on from above, I seem to have unusually great difficulty writing endings. I struggle with making things plotty, and I find it so hard to delay the smooshing together of the characters. Also descriptions of places and rooms and clothes... not my forte. (Food descriptions I'm ok with though, lol, glutton that I am)
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've never thought much about it. I occasionally include a short phrase uttered by someone in another language. But not whole sections of dialogue.
Should I have opinions about this? Is there discourse here I am unaware of? 😅
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter. First and only!
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Like Cassiara, my favourites change every time I try to pick one!
I'll go with Good Intent (12k, E) - a Jeddy fic! Ha. I don't know why but I do quite like naughty James and conflicted Teddy and the lingering love for Harry in this one.
Thinking about Drarry... let's give some love too to Be careful what you hiss for (5.6k, E) - Fithy-mouthed parseltongue Harry was a lot of fun to write 🐍👅
I'll tag @citrusses @sweet-s0rr0w @basicallyahedgehog @autumnsnuggling @drarrymyheart @skeptiquewrites @xanthippe74 @cluelesspigeons @lqtraintracks @schmem14 if you want to do it (and haven't already). And anyone else who'd like to do this!

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers
thank youu to @annanother-thing, @squintclover and @silently--here for tagging me! (yes, it takes three tags for me to get over the procrastination hurdle)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
8 + 1 unrevealed
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
52,373 words
3. What fandoms do you write for?
so far I've only written Harry Potter, but I really want to write pynch (Raven Cycle) at some point (but it's a bit scary)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Invisible Dragons - drarry, chance encounter, hopeful ending, T, 7k
Wine and Whale Bones- drarry, cursebreakers in Venice, T, 3.5k
Good Bones - drarry, a small Draco POV scene, T, 1.5k
A crack in everything - wolfstar and Hagrid/Trelawney, Post-apocalyptic AU, 7k
How it plays out - Severus POV, Poker fic, M, 2k
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
yes! sometimes it takes me a bit, but I try to reply to every single one
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
hmmm, I don't really do angsty endings.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Wine and Whalebones for sure.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Last week I somehow attracted a troll on an Anti-Draco rampage. I didn't enjoy the experience.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
no (at least not yet?)
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
no, I think I'd find it hard to combine universes and do both of them justice
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no (thank god. knock on wood)
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
no
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I am in the process of co-writing together with the lovely @drarrymyheart but it's a low-pressure project so it'll likely marinate for a little longer before seeing the light of day
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Ohh that's so hard! Probably drarry because they've been a constant and other ships sort of come and go
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I said I would write a sequel to Invisible Dragons but I'm honestly not sure I ever will. Sequels are hard!
16. What are your writing strengths?
I think giving my characters opportunities to learn and heal is a strength. And vibes, at least in short pieces.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm not very strong on conflict, mostly cause I want my characters to be okay
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
It has to fit the story. I like when people include expressions like terms of endearment in another language.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I never published it, but the first piece I wrote was for the Raven Cycle fandom
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Obviously I love all of them! But in terms of "which one would I like more people to read" it's definitely my Post-Apocalyptic one (A crack in everything)

20 Questions for fic writers
Thank you for tagging me @ileadacharmedlife 🩷🩷
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
28!!
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
381,482. It’s just that I can very easily write a 10k one shot, I have a lot of things to say, apparently. It just makes sense to illustrate every thought.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I’ve only written for Carry On because I’ve come used to them, but I’m interested in Wolfstar, so maybe in some time they will pop up too.
4.. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Protecting you like a Pitch (M) (I seriously don’t know why)
Sick of vanilla (E)
Birthday Man (E) (but it’s a fandom collab)
Surprises, stars and universes (E)
The Rise and Fall of Us (M)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I always do, it’s just that sometimes it takes me a while
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
That would be a WIP, but it’s a one shot 2k word “it’s hard to hide someone who loves you”. They both die at the end and it’s Simon rescuing Baz from the numpties, tell him he loves him and Baz gets killed! It’s just that I love making a character suffer along the story, but giving them a happy ending, so I’m not into writing a sad ending; it would kill me.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think “Done waiting” because it’s not angsty, so it feels happier, but I do give them a happy ending, even if it’s hurt/comfort.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Nop. Everyone who’s commented is so lovely.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I do! OMG, I LOVE writing smut. I find it very relaxing and fun hahaha. I usually write them with a dom/sub dynamics, with bdsm, toys, and exploring. I do like writing kinky things; not into vanilla. And I prefer a dom Simon, he’s very lovely. And I always write them with enthusiastic consent, being so in love, and aftercare. It’s a must in my fics.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
I’ve written Drarry within SnowBaz and from a book series I read when I was 10 (the wolves of mercy falls), but I’m normal about them.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Not really, it’s more like pin-pong-ing the ideas with another person, but I did write “Birthday Man” with the fandom! It was a fic for Simon’s birthday
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
SnowBaz OWNS me, but WolfStar is very close to ripping my heart out. And I am so very sorry, but I would die for MalMage. There’s a fic I’m plotting, and it makes me ache.
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
I have several wips on my mind that I regularly come to, so I do plan on finishing them, but there are many ideas I’ve had that I just threw out. It was a thing in the moment, but not that serious to have me actually explore them more.
16. What are your wrimting strengths?
Angst and smut. I love writing dirty things and making my characters suffer. I l’m good at writing a lot, it’s very easy for me to write thousands of words. And I love dialogue.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Keeping things simple hahahaha. A short idea for a short silly fic is NEVER a short idea for me. I struggle with describing places, and well, I do have english for a second language, so it’s been a process for me to get better at grammar and phrasing. I’m not good at writing crack or fluff; it has to hurt.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I like it but I never know what it says if they don’t write it in the notes.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Carry On still. I’m living in a bubble hahaha. I’ve only written for my babies.
20. Favorite fic you've written?
Definitely “The Second Chain” (smut). I wrote that fic exclusively for me and to me; I wrote all the things I like. And I like my Ballet AU because of all the backstories and how close SnowBaz feel to me (and Ebb). But I do have a MalMage wip, after all.

SHIPPER TAG GAME
tagged by @gloster
1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care anymore?
-not really obsessed, but I'd have to say Nick/Maddie from PR: Mystic Force. I really liked their dynamic and tbh, it was that couple that introduced me to fanfics because I went googling for info on Melanie and Firass
2. Which ship would you consider your first one?
-oh that's an easy one: Tommy/Kim. The moment I saw them on screen, I started shipping them before I even knew what shipping was. They were my OTP before I even knew what that was. Even at that young age, I was taken in by their chemistry, their understanding and acceptance of each other, the slow build up of their relationship...just...their everything. Honestly, it was because of this ship that i could not get into Disney fairytales because they did more to convince me of true love than any Disney movie ever did.
3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?
-Tommy/Kimberly. After I learned what fanfic was from searching Maddie/Nick...I stumbled upon a Tommy/Trini story and it didn't sit right with me lol. I kept thinking "Tommy and Kim are meant to be" and then I started writing a story about them. Took my weeks, after I'd written the first seven chapters, to work up my courage to actually post that first chapter.
4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?
-more than likely Nick and Maddie.
5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?
-uhm....I mean, not really? I've responded to one or two anon posts or even made a post or two about a ship but actual discourse? I usually have those discussions with my friend
6. Did you used to have a NOTP or have it currently?
-ha! Did I ever! And still do: Kataang, Klance, Hinny, McRolls, Tommy/Kat, Jason/Kim, Dramione, Romione.
7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?
-well, I'm currently reading three fanfics right now, so the couple in those are: Zutara, Tododeku, KinnPorsche
8. Currently, do you have any OTPs?
-ohh yeah: Tomberly, Drarry, Sheith, Zutara, KinnPorsche, Tododeku, DickKory, Geraskier
9. Is there any couple, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
-yes. I'm pissed they broke Kim and Tommy (rumor was, the letter wasn't even the original storyline but they did it because they wanted the fans to let go of Kimberly and accept Kat); Sheith (they had the best chemistry and the show kept drawing parallels between them and other couples on the show, including Keith's own parents); Zutara (they just made sense and I think Katara would've really blossomed even more because Zuko never would've stifled her or encourage to forego her own culture); Drarry (sure as shit, if one of them was female, it would've happen, so I don't see why it couldn't happen anyways. Plus, I feel they would've understood and balanced each other a lot better than their Canon couples).
10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
-nope.
11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now would be canceled over?
-i dont think so, no.
12. What was your favorite crack ship?
-i don't think I had or have one tbh.that.
13. Who is the couple you read more fanfics of?
-its split btwn most of my OTPs tbh.
14. What do most of your ships usually have in common?
-hmmm...idk, equality, I guess. The way they understand each other, how they are each others safe space in a way, how they can be themselves (all facets of themselves, e.g., angry, happy, messy, etc.) with each other, the way they're different but also the same in some ways
15. What do you absolutely hate in a ship?
-a bully/victim dynamic that is labeled as enemies-to-lovers; when a miscommunication happens and the person immediately runs away/avoids the other without giving them a chance to explain, which leads into the miscommunication going on for more than 2-3 chapters (even worse when it's a 15 chapter story and the miscommunication happened in like ch 2 and you're on ch 12 and it...is...still...going on)

20 questions for fic writers!
Thanks for the tag @acnelli (x), @schmem14 (x), and @indigo-scarf (x)!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I just reached exactly 100 works! Low-key so happy that my Pansmione soulmates fic was #100.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
301,754!! I am actually shocked by how high this is.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling (97)
First Kill (TV 2022) (1)
방탄소년단 | Bangtan Boys | BTS (1)
Wednesday (TV 2022) (1)
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
What is this, fucking Jeopardy? [Drarry, E, 20.4k]
White, the colour of flowers [Drarry, M, 3.2k]
A Heart So Colourful ♡ [Viktor/Ron, E, 1.5k]
Impervius, Not [Drarry, T, 5.0k]
7 Days of Halloween: I Don't Feel Like Myself Anymore [Wolfstar, E, 29.7k]
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Oh heck yeah! I love getting and responding to comments. I've met some wonderful people in the comments section of fics.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Your Cigarette Smell [Sirius/Narcissa, E, 9.7k] with canon-compliant character death, so I think you know where this is going.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Any of my fluffy fics? Maybe Lavmione in Lavender for Morning or Nottpott in Silver Surprise.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not yet (*crosses fingers*). I've had some mildly annoying comments (like saying how they disliked background Dramione in a Drarry fic I wrote), but nothing to make me wanna bash my head against the wall.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Umm... yes. I am currently in the middle of posting the smuttiest, most depraved series I have ever written for this year's Kinktober.... so check it out ig?
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Not so much crossovers but heavily inspired by other stories. I wrote Dronarry in a Sandman AU and also Hermione/Daphne in a Twilight AU 😂
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of...
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes! My Nottpott fic was translated into Russian. How cool is that??
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I have done art collabs but never co-written a fic. Definitely something I'd love to try. Maybe it'll happen next year!
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Idk there's too many to choose!! I probably read Drarry the most, but I think that's mostly because there's just SO MANY amazing Drarry authors. I can honestly be convinced to like any ship if I like the writing style and the story. I'm a huge rare pair and femslash shipper!!! The communities are just so wonderful 💖
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Never say never! But I'm really lacking motivation to finish my Squid Games AU Drarry fic. I love the concept, but the plot is just not flowing.
16. What are your writing strengths?
Emotion. I like my fics to pack a punch. I think I'm getting pretty good at it.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Longfic. It's hard for me to sustain motivation for one idea. I have too many running through my brain at once, and I always get distracted by the shiny new headcanon.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I've seen it. I've done it. I'm ambivalent, mostly. I think it can be a great way to show cultural differences between characters. But I also think 90% of the time it unnecessarily confuses the reader because if you don't know the language, you're just going to skip over the dialogue. And if you do know the language, then you'll notice if it doesn't sound natural. Yeah... not a fan when it's just google translated and copy-pasted.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter!
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Anything on my Author's Favorites list! From recently though, maybe my Perciver strip chess fic 😉

SHIPPER TAG GAME
Tagged by @brazilian-whalien52
1. What ship were you completely obsessed with when you were a teenager, but now you don't care anymore?
Honestly- and this PAAAAAAINS to me to say since my middle-school self would be furious at me-but probably Troyella. Obviously, still love them. Still think of them fondly, but compared to other ships, they're on the lower end.
2. Which ship would you consider your first one?
I'm TEMPTED to say troyella again since they were the ship that made me realize what shipping was- and how hard it can go for a fangirl. But in terms of a ship you remember watching, loving, and loving seeing their interactions, that would have to be Tom and Kimberly from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
Their chemistry, their moments were the reason why I loved the show so much
I didn't know what ship or OTP meant, but they were the definitely the first couple I remembered LOVING seeing them together
3. Your first fanfic belonged to which couple?
That would be Troy & Gabriella. The movie wasn't enough for me, so I decided to make more stories on them
4. Do you remember the first couple you saw a fanart over?
That would be a tie between InuKag and Robstar. Those were the top 2 ships I remember seeing TONS of Youtube videos and fanart in middle school.
5. Did you ever get into ship discourse?
*thinks hard* I want to say....no. Least I can't remember. I just chill in my little corner with my friends, gushing & reading fics of our ships
6. Did you used to have any no-otp or have it currently?
The way I DESPISED LOATHED AND HATED TROYPAY with a burning, burning deep passion. Couldn't stand the ship. Still don't like the ship. And obviously, Tommy x Kat because NO NO NO NO
7. Who were the couple in the last fanfic you read?
Payurain in this WIP I'm really enjoying. Seriously, love these two boys
8. Currently, do you have any OTPs?
Oh dear lord, my OTPS literally have their yachts at this point. And the list of the top ones constantly switch, but at the moment I can say my top 6 include: drarry, zutara, sheith, tododeku, payurain, and of course dickkory
9. Is there any couple that, to this day, you are extremely mad about not getting together?
Oh. Dear. Lord. The way at least several ships can fit this question, but that belongs to my top 3 ships that were done so dirty.
OBVIOUSLY-and forever fuming about it-THESE TWO:
Forever and ALWAYS THESE TWO that had everything. The history, the chemistry, best friends to lovers, ride or die, battle couple...and yet the writers were like, nah
TO INFINITY & BEYOND BEYOND BEYOND: DRARRY . You can't tell me NOTHING. If Harry was a girl, they would have been endgame. If Draco was a girl, they definitely would have gotten together. I will forever stand on this hill
10. Is there any ship you used to dislike but now you think they are kind of interesting?
I wouldn't dislike at all, but I can definitely say after the previous season, they got more on my radar and that would be Geto x Gojo. I've always been intrigued by their dynamic, but season 2 really showed so much depth in their relationship, their friendship, and how things went wrong. Just so well done and also extremely heartbreaking
11. Do you have any ship that, in the past, was considered normal but now you would be cancelled over?
Maybe.....Honestly, I can't think of one. Like none are coming to my head. Closest one I can think of would be Alison x Emily or Spencer x Toby. The former because the toxicity of the ship, the way Ali manipulated and gaslight Emily's emotions was fucked up. Just as Toby letting Spencer think he was dead, let her think she found his corpse, and watch her break down...only to give a half-ass apology.
12. What was your favorite crack ship?
Honstly, Kyo x Arisa from Fruit Baskets- and that is solely because watching the way Arisa constantly rifled Kyo up was too damn hilarious.
13. Who is the couple you read more fanfics off?
Hands down, that would have to be drarry
14. What most of your ships usually have in common?
Probably two sides of the same coin. Different in many ways but similar in others. With drarry, both being just a boy in time of war. For zutara, the sun and the moon. Grump x Sunshine, which is a similar dynamic for many of my ships.
15. What you absolutely hate in a ship?
Hands down, the quickest way for me to hate a ship is the following: A always loving B, B being OBLIVIOUS to A's affections even though the whole country is aware of it, and then when A finally moves on THAT'S WHEN B suddenly realizes OH MY GOSH I LOVE THEM. 🤢🤮🤬😡 I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Also, if the dynamic of the ship is unequal such as bully and bullied, in which the bully spends 90% of them torturing the love interest and then final 10% actually showing some care...NOPE. NOPE. NOPE.

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks for the tag @skeptiquewrites i love these games! this got very long so answers below the cut!
How many works do you have on ao3?
123 total but 22 HP fics
2. what's your total ao3 word count?
886,281
3. What fandoms do you write for?
i'm writing HP/drarry pretty exclusively at the moment and i've written the second largest number of fics for this fandom. but i've written like 69 sherlock holmes and/or bbcs fics and i think 16 good omens fics
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
they're all good omens fics in the 2k-3k range. none of my other fics even come close. my most popular drarry fic is Propinquity which makes sense it has a fun premise
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
yes! i respond to comments when i have the time and energy and usually i do it in batches shortly after i've published something new
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i don't rlly write angsty endings. in the bbcs fandom i wrote an infidelity fic series where they're in a very unsustainable situation and i intended to write a final installment with a happy ending but i was so disenchanted by the last season of the show that i just never did. i've never written an angsty ending to a drarry fic. i find angst kinda boring tbh :p
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
almost every single fic i've ever written has a happy ending but the drarry fic i've written where the pov character has the most to cope with before he's happy is probably either propinquity or moonrise. they're also my youngest dracos, which probably has something to do with it. they've had less time to recover and grow. i think i have to give the edge to moonrise, actually because he's soooo sad and lonely at the beginning, and he develops this bond not only with harry but with ginny (they give each other stupid nicknames) and hermione (they have a very special scene toward the end of the series)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
i didn't used to, but i've gotten a bit since i started writing drarry! there are a lot of polarizing characters and relationships, and people will sometimes tell me they didn't approve of how i handled something or other. i was too soft on dumbledore i was too hard on draco. oh well. no refund.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
yes! for me, smut is an important part of demonstrating the trust and intimacy between my leads as well as like. joy and playfulness. consequently my smut tends to be silly and jokey but also very romantic and sort of idealized.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
i wrote a fleabag/bbcs crossover once where fleabag picks up john watson at her therapists' office but it's the only one i've ever written and it was sort of to tease of friend of mine
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i'm aware of
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, a handful! mostly my good omens fics
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no but i'd love to write one with @clytemenestras
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
i am not rlly a favorites kind of person but obviously drarry is doing something special for me rn. they are both Me and pushing their faces together and making them kiss is an act of self love <3
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
i NEVER publish WIPs but i do have this 8th year WIP that i'm rlly struggling with and put it on the back burner. i think i'm just trying to do too many things with it and i get stuck and unsure of where to go first when i open the document. originally it was supposed to be a theater kids fic because i loved the idea of draco as a theater kid. but the version of draco that unrolls when i write is so exhausted and burned out and also he's kind of being shunned. he just isn't embodying the flamboyant joy i was imagining when i came up with the idea.
16. What are your writing strengths?
i'm very good at depicting relationships. my dialogue is good and my characters develop all these inside jokes and references that make them feel like real people.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
my fic tends not to be very plotty but idk if i consider that a weakness. i'm not trying and failing to write plot. i write what i intend to write. i guess i write pretty slowly, but i'm okay with that too.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
draco often speaks french in my fic, and now that i think about it, it's usually to show his closeness with people who are not harry. i guess i have this idea that it's easy to reduce him to his interactions with harry, but he has social relationships outside of that. he's like. capable of pleasantries. he's chatting with his cousins he's chatting with madame maxime. it's a fun little way to make him a bit mysterious. that's one of the things harry likes about him, isn't it? what's that draco malfoy up to? what's he saying? it's fun!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
bbc sherlock
20. Favorite fic you've written?
it's hard to compare fics across fandoms and even within drarry it's hard to compare fics that are attempting such different things! i think maybe the relationship in A Gift of True Esteem is my favorite because they develop this really strong partnership and their respect for each other is so clear! i also get to drop in a lot of wizarding culture, like draco gives harry some books that i got to make up titles for, they go shopping together and out to dinner (i think i was inspired by the antiquing scene early in @tackytigerfic's Modern Love; it rlly stuck with me). they go to a museum run by goblins, they talk about how much hogwarts has changed and changes they still want to make. and i got to make up some homework assignments, which was fun too! Strangely enough this is also the fic i've gotten the most hate on! i rlly didn't think i had made any controversial choices when i was writing it but oh well lol. i love getting to look at how they might move through the world as adults. how they have changed and how the world has changed, and i just had a lot of fun with this one.
genuinely do not know who has already played so i tag @oflights, @thehoneybeet, and @vukovich if you want to <3
#hey honey you know that fic idea we were dming about the other day?#i am. writing it. trying.#lmk if you want to see a smidgen a sneak peek

20 questions for fic writers!
thank you for the tag lovely kay @xjustakay <3
1. How many works do you have on ao3?
Six so far!
2. What’s your total ao3 word count?
57,991 —which might not seem much but still, very proud of it, specially because a year ago, I wouldn’t have dreamed writing that many words.
3. What fandoms do you write for?
So far only marauders, but I have some drarry/golden trio era in the making, as well as some PJO and GO so, we’ll see!
4. What are you top 5 fics by kudos?
Since I don’t have that many I’ll only put my top three:
Archenemies (or so he thought) -> Sirius hunts down his bestie James for ditching him on a prank and finds him cuddling with the enemy (a black cat) who turns out to be more of a pain in the ass than he expected, especially because for some reason, the little shit acts a lot like his brother.
Don’t threaten me with a good time -> Ah, Black cats, mischievous little things, aren’t they? Known for being a pain in the ass for older brothers, a good companion for best friends and devil incarnated for lovers and love ones alike.
When it rains -> It all comes down to a certain bus stop on a rainy week. Between interesting chats, pastries and being almost ran over by a purple car, there’s something about the person they share the bus stop with that seems familiar. (Basically a bunch of meet-cutes and pinning idiots being, well, idiots)
5. Do you respond comments? Why or why not?
I do, yes! I love responding to comments but sometimes I tell myself I’m going to answer later in the day and I forget :( but I do love comments, they make my day every time. 💘
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Hands down it will be slow dancing in the dark, the whole fic is quite angsty, at least for me, but I wouldn’t say it has a angsty ending, maybe a little— nvm I just re-read it. Yeah, it’s sad.
7. What is a fic your wrote with the happiest ending?
My babygirl some sunny day, that fic is my go-to when I remember this fandom is based in death, angst and misery hahaha. Some sunny day is like a, well, a ray of sunshine lmao. It has my favorite setting, my fave pairs and some Spanish here and there. Love it dearly.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Thankfully no, maybe some weird ones but nothing that I would count as hateful. Really grateful for that, dunno what I would do if I were to receive those on a daily basis, never post again most likely lmao.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Haven’t post smut yet but I wrote some, still in the doc and everything but is there, waiting to be posted 😈
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest you’ve written?
Not really my thing, no. but maybe! who knows
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of, haven’t looked Wattpad yet tho.
12. Have you ever has a fic translated?
No, but if anyone would want to, it would be lovely!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
It’s in the making, actually! @sequinhaze and I are doing a drarry fic, so there’s that 😌
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
All-time favorite is a not easy to answer, i mean currently it’s drarry and jeggy but my first was Percabeth and Solangelo, I was a sucker for them and still am. So maybe them.
15. What’s a wip you what to finish but doubt you ever will?
The empire of the sun trilogy jsjsjs maybe I’ll finish the first one but the other two seem pretty far away for me right now, but one never knows so.
Also copying Kay’s answer here because my google docs also looks like a graveyard of unfinished works lmao.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I believe I give a solid characterization and maybe storytelling (?? Inner monologue maybe? love to see the chaos i created in my little puppets.
17. What are you writing weaknesses?
Run on sentences, I’ve been told I tend to do that a lot hehe and comas —also it costs me greatly to just write, if I’m not in the mood it’s hard for me to just go for it.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
1000% I’m favor. Some of my fics have French/Spanish in them, I like the idea of leaving non-spanish speakers to go to the end notes or to google translate or straight-up wonder what the hell I’m talking about jsjsj
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Some 1D and JB back in the day, so you bet your asses y/n and I were besties
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
About time, scars and the brightest stars is my absolute favorite. That fic is the love of my life, it has everything I love and more and rn I can put the link bc I took it down so I can finish it all and post it in one go but yeah, that one.

20 questions for fic writers!
Thanks for the tag @maesterchill, I loved reading your answers!
Here are mine! (under the cut)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 30!
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
64,491, which is higher than I expected actually. My one 13k fic is doing the hard work in pulling up the average words 😂
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Harry Potter!! Various ships but mostly Drarry
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The Love You Find - The one with the road trip
My Heart Was Unprepared - The one with Draco's diary
All The Time In The World - The one with gender euphoria
The Strings That Weave Us - The one where Draco has pink hair
The Evolution of Soup (Or How Harry Learned to be Loved) - The one with too much soup and a lot of feelings
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
No, but not by choice per se. But I have truly terrible object permanence and by the time I remember them I feel bad that I haven't responded yet and then I never do...
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Til The End of The Night - I don't really write fics that don't have happy endings, but this is just 700 words of angst. Sorry Harry. I do have a kind-of sequel planned for this but who knows if it will ever get finished!
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
As I said, I don't really write not happy endings. But maybe The Love You Find.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've had a couple of odd comments, but none that I would class as hate.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I have written exactly two fics that have smut, one drarry and one poly golden trio. So I'm not sure if I have a kind? Probably soft and sweet, or at least that's what I aim for.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
No I haven't, and I don't think I ever will. I don't really know any other universe in the same way as I know HP - both the canon and then the world I've built for it in my head - to be able to confidently combine them.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of...
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but I'd be open to it if anyone ever wanted to.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I haven't! @phoebe-delia and I keep talking about it though...
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Drarry, always
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
As mentioned above, I have twoish chapters written of a "sequel" (maybe more a companion?) to Til The End Of The Night. It's the first Drarry fic I started writing and it got abandoned in favour of fest fics and I've never gotten back to it. I would like to think I will, but at this point my faith is low!
I also have the first four books written of a Hermione-POV canon, which was my first ever fanfic. It has been long abandoned and will never be returned to. If you manage to track down my old ffn account and find it, godspeed to you
16. What are your writing strengths?
Ummm. People tell me I make them feel things, so maybe that? I also can't turn my SPAG brain off, so as long as I slow down enough to edit my own writing, that's usually pretty strong.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I am not good at writing plotty things, and when I do try I find it really hard to not just info-dump it - to actually describe what is happening instead of just narrating it to the reader. I can do vibes, but not plot 🤷
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I love it in other people's fics, but I do not have more than a couple of random words in any language other than English. I know that translation sites exist, but I feel that I don't have enough knowledge of other languages to do it justice.
The only time I'd break this self-imposed rule would be if I was making new spells - eg using Latin.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Harry Potter. First and only!
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Oh boy. Either All The Time in the World or (They) Keep Me Warm. Because both of them are full of all my trans feels and are probably the two fics that I have put the most of myself into.
Thanks again for the tag, this was fun! No-pressure tagging @phoebe-delia @otpcutie @geesenoises @citrusses @makeitp1nk and anyone who wants to!!

Nine people you'd like to get to know better
Thank you for tagging me @petraplatypuspan, this was a lot of fun! 🧡 🧡 🧡
3 ships
Kim Khimhant Theerapanyakun/ Porchay Pichaya Kittisawat (KinnPorsche: The Series) aka my current obsession and the one ship that I am so crazy about that I have to write thousands and thousands of words of fanfic about them
Even Bech Næsheim/Isak Valtersen (Skam Norway) aka my absolute favourite ship of all time, no one could ever replace them in my heart
Derek Hale/Isaac Lahey/Stiles Stilinski (Teen Wolf) – this one was harder to choose because no ship comes even close to the two above, but this is one of my favourite OT3 pairings. They have a wonderful potential for angst, which I love in fic (and Teen Wolf fics are definitely a lot better than anything canon ever churned out, sorry not sorry Mr. Jeff Davis)
First ship
Ooof, I honestly don’t even know, probably Fred and Sprotte from the Wilde Hühner films when I was like 10? But the first ship I truly shipped and started reading fanfic for (still on ff.net, I think??) was probably Lexie/Mark from Grey’s Anatomy when I was 13 or so years old – also shout-out to that show for making me learn English cause I couldn’t wait for the German dub to come out to watch the new episodes, so megavideo in English with English subtitles (if I was lucky) it was…
My first actual fandom was probably Skam, although I had dipped my toes into the Drarry and 1D fandoms before (mostly just for reading really amazing fics rather than a deep love for the source material or the real people in question).
Last song
I’m listening to music while writing this out and the song currently playing is the Chinese version of Fade by Jeff Satur (to no one’s surprise to anyone who’s ever read my Kinnporsche fics and my shameless use of his lyrics for my titles…). I really love this song, especially the Chinese version, because I find it incredibly soothing.
Currently reading
Mostly just fics tbh. I’ve been trying to read “Fix the System, Not the Women” by Laura Bates for ages now (and it’s a pretty short book), but it’s very hard to get through because it just makes you very angry and discusses very heavy subject matters.
Last movie
I honestly can’t remember. It was definitely a good while ago.
Currently Craving
Something to eat, either a meal with loads of vegetables or paprika crisps, cause I skipped dinner. A hug from my mama (I will see her next week though, so yay!). A magical fix to not being so tired anymore that doesn’t involve having to force myself to fall asleep.
Tagging @dummerjan, @imogenegomi, @ae-azile, @mightymightygnomepriest, @crumchycow,
@snickerdoodlles, @fiddlepickdouglas, @mousydentist, @salamander89
Obviously no pressure if you don’t want to or don’t have the time to do it though!
