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!

since ahmeds gofundme seems to finally be giving him his money, the following now applies to those who follow the instructions at https://gazaesims.com/ to buy esims and send the unactivated qr codes to
[email protected]. some notes that arent included on the website:
the app airalo is having a 40% off sale on all palestinian esims and is the cheapest option ive found, especially with the $3 referral code discount you can apply. you can get one for the middle east region for 50% off, but the ones specific to palestine are still cheaper.
my referral code is MANFRE5384. using these discounts i was able to get a 15 day esim for under 6 dollars.
it may be somewhat confusing to find the qr code itself. once youve bought the esim, click view instructions. the app will make you click through a tutorial, but once youre done it will show you the code, which you can then screenshot and email to the proper address.
here is a limited-time offer: send me a screenshot proving you got an esim-- either along with the text you want anagrammed or in a different ask/submission-- for an almost-guarantee ill do it. i say almost because i do want to set a few rules
the more you donate the longer the text ill anagram, at a rate of 2 letters per dollar. ie, 10 dollars will get you 20 letters, 20 dollars will get you 40. if you want me to actually anagram you cant fight the homestuck youre probably going to have to singlehandedly fund the rest of the campaign i cant really apply this rule in any hard sense to the esims but the general spirit still applies. more and longer-lasting esims = more leeway on text length
no slurs or otherwise offensive content
ill get around to it when i get around to it
