i was tagged by @aethelreds thank you, i love these things!
How many works do you have on AO3?
70 (my sis has 4 works on the same account)
What's your total AO3 word count?
267,282
What fandoms do you write for?
Currently got WIPs for The Last Kingdom and Atlantis BBC, but I've written for 21 different fandoms so far
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Interlude (Downton Abbey), The Moon And Its Eclipse (Justice League), Drawn Together (The Last Kingdom), Be Here, With Me (Victoria) and Been Wishing For You (also Victoria)
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do try to! In the past I've been a bit more hit and miss but these days I do eventually get around to it
What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I usually write fix its, so the two that end with a main character death are probably the angstiest, so I'll rep You Will Betray Me (TTSS)
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
My Death in Paradise fics are pure fluff, but especially Evermore
Do you get hate on fics?
I did on ff.net (as everyone did) - on AO3, I'm tempted to say no but I did get one comment where I genuinely can't tell from the tone whether it was hate or not lmao
Do you write smut? If so what kind?
Occasionally, and usually badly! I tend to struggle with action of any kind and it's difficult to know whether something is coming off as sexy or not. That being said, I'm attempting a smut fic right now... needless to say I haven't actually got to the smut part yet
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
The closest I've come is Heaven or High Water, which although was a Drumfred reincarnation fic, I did borrow storylines from Ripper Street and Man in an Orange Shirt to write it
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
I don't think so, but I don't know if people might have translated some fics and not credited me, so maybe
Have you ever had a fic translated?
As above, maybe
Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
No but I have talked about it and brainstormed some ideas before
What's your all-time favourite ship?
Harry and Ruth from Spooks, they broke me in such a way I can't ever recover from it
What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
Oh god there's loads by now, but I'll probably end up putting that Bridglar idea behind me at some point, which is annoying because I actually have a title and a summary which are the hardest parts except uhh the writing... and I'm drawing a blank there beyond the couple of vague sentences I've got
What are your writing strengths?
I've been told I'm good at showing not telling, which means a lot to me because I love visualising how a scene will play out and then writing that, and it's nice to know that other people have noticed it
What are your writing weaknesses?
How to get the flow right, definitely. Sometimes sentence after sentence just comes out right, but then the paragraph that follows just feels like it starts cold and doesn't link up. I've been particularly struggling with that for the last few months
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I've done it a few times for endearments because I like the way it sounds, but I don't do it a lot
First fandom you wrote for?
I think it was Harry Potter
Favourite fic you've ever written?
The answer to this question changes every time, but I did recently reread Give You My Devotion, the Ripper Street shaving fic I'd wanted to write for years, and I'm still so proud that I managed to deliver it

👍📆📚✨
Thank you so much!!! There are so many I could say for all of them!! Choices!
👍 A fic I bookmarked recently: I have been reading a lot of Sandman fics recently, specifically Morpheus/Johanna! I bookmarked Strictly Business by Sarcasmismydefaultmode and it is so good! I can't wait to read more!
📆 A fic you'd re-read 10 years from now: I have read SO MANY good fics in all my fandoms and honestly, I'd re-read most of them again, and have done as well! But if I have to say one in particular, the first one I think of is But Never Doubt I Love by starknight, which is a Drumfred fic (from the fandom for Victoria, the ITV show) and is so damn amazing it's unreal!
📚 A fic you wish you could have on your bookshelf: Um, every fic I've ever read?! So I can find them again easily and re-read them all! But if I have to pick one, Sweet Sacrifice by Drindalis which is a fanfic for IT (whatever form of it you love best too) and is still ongoing! They are at 91 chapters with no signs of stopping and I always come back to it when I become obsessed with IT again!
✨ A fic you wish you could read again for the first time: So many, honestly. The one that comes to mind first is A Common Misconception by rotasha, which is an amazing slow-burn fake dating SuperBat fic! It really is just so good!

Drumfred - not only Bury Your Gays Trope but also compulsory heteronormativity ( Why again??
I think Daisy and co didn't think this through, they just saw they had Jordan and Leo's amazing chemistry in front of them and ran with it. Considering they didn't even bother giving Alfred a proper storyline later on (iirc) it's not surprising that we got something beautiful first that went awry in the worst way.

For the Fandom Ask:
9, 10, and 23
thank you, my dear!
best new fandom discovery of the year
i never expected to get into bridgerton but the gifsets of kate and anthony really swayed me!
biggest fandom disappointment of the year
i can't think of one tbh
the most missed of your old fandoms
i still miss the few wonderful months in the drumfred fandom while things with the show were still good! also spooks but i joined tumblr after the show had already aired so it was sort of tailing off when i got involved but i still met some incredible people through it
