while we’re having the endless debate about sorting by kudos or not on ao3, i have to stump for my personal favorite way to find fics:
i basically always go straight to the “bookmarks” page for whatever pairing/tag i’m reading rather than the “works” page, and i literally just realized why: it lights up the same parts of my tumblr gremin brain as my dash does.
content hand-selected by people who are bookmarking shit for their own reasons entirely unknowable to me, so it’s a mix of quality peer review and user xyz’s to-read list
if you keep going back to it there’s a repetition over time as new people bookmark old fics. as a tumblr girlie my brain enjoys seeing Thing I Recognize
brand new fics often show up there if they’re good!! (equivalent: new posts tagged “investing at 5 notes”)
a lot of the top kudos fics keep showing up too because so many people sort the works page that way (equivalent: heritage post)
but so much random stuff shows up too that i would otherwise never find, thanks to the hardworking folks out there sobbing into the bottom of the tag at 4 am (equivalent: those posts with 56 notes from 2011 that somehow?? end up on your dash like bestie how did you even find that)
sometimes there are 30 bookmarks in a row by the same person who has a new hyperfixation and you get to think “good for them”
sometimes you get to recognize a username as someone having good or seriously bad taste
sometimes i see my own fics in the mix!! and get that little hit of positive attention (or neutral attention i guess, when people add a bookmarker tag like “it’s about [my fave character] but it’s ok”)
yeah! people can add bookmarker tags and their own notes! so sometimes people rec fics or add marginalia and their own sortable tags (but most people don’t)
there’s always that one fucking harry potter crossover fic with 194 tags in the mix (equivalent: manscaped ads you can’t escape). not saying this is a plus, but scrolling past the same long post you hate for the dozenth time is also an essential part of the tumblr experience.
re: that last bullet point, the one downside of the bookmarks page is that the filtering isn’t quite as robust as on the works page. you do have all the usual include/exclude filter options, but the very last section of filtering (crossovers, WIPs, word count, date range) is not available. (@ ao3 coders please i’m begging 🥺🙏)
anyway i’m sure the bookmarking economy is different across fandoms, but this will give you a semi-randomized feed of the tag, weighted toward new and popular fics (and, for better or worse, unfinished multi-chapter works and megafandom crossovers). it’s probably a good place to start for people who long for an algorithm, but unlike the usual user-targeted panopticon experience it’s more like the chance to rummage through strangers’ junk drawers for fic. tumblr vibes. you get me.
#will it make you a little paranoid about your own bookmarking practices? yeah but cringe is dead 🖕 live cringelessly 🖕#and for anyone who just learned this is a thing and is freaking out private bookmarking is always an option#ao3

Thanks @celinou & @momochizoey for tagging me 🤍
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I've got 4 works total.
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
73,030 words.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Seeing as how I only have 4 works, I'll just mention the fic with the most kudos - my Wenclair fic "At the End of One's Woe" with 760 kudos.
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! I love it when writers respond to my comments (as inane as they are), so I thought I should do the same.
Not only that, but sometimes I'll reply to a comment when there's a new chapter of that work just to kind of nudge them to read it.
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
"To Know Yourself."
It's a Chasefield fic and it's the first thing I started writing when I got back into the fanfic space. It's currently sitting at 6 chapters unfinished, but where I left it off is probably the angstiest thing I've explored publicly on my account.
32,000 words, and the poor girls don't even like each other yet.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Either the aforementioned Wenclair fic or my Chasefield smutfic "One and Then the Other." I mean, what's a happier ending then getting to bang the girl you like?
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've not.
9. Do you write smut?
Yes!
I was very nervous to publish that first smutfic, but I wasn't a stranger to writing things of an explicit nature.
I used to ERP on Gaia ALL THE TIME when I was younger, but it definitely was a different thing to write stuff like that and know it would be going out for everyone to see.
But I had a blast writing it and I don't see myself straying away from smut anytime soon. The only thing I don't like is how I find it very difficult to write smut without tons of preamble beforehand, so that's kind of the one thing holding me back.
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've ever written?
I've not.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I'm aware of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
I've not, though I wouldn't be against it.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I've not, just the casual headcanon talks with friends and mutuals.
14. What's your all time favorite ship?
I love all the Life is Strange ships, but Chasefield holds a very special place in my heart for getting me back into fandom/fanfic as a whole.
Wenclair is also up there - it was very fun to write for an active/ongoing fandom and it was kind of crazy to see how different the response was in that.
For ships that I love, but haven't written for, I'm enamored with Ava/Beatrice from Warrior Nun and Kara/Lena from CW's Supergirl.
I do think a lot of that is that those characters and stories are closer to where I am in age/place in life, while Life is Strange/Wednesday occupies a place where I reminisce on highschool didn'ts and wish-I-would'ves.
15. What's a WIP you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
There's a part of me where I see myself never finishing "To Know Yourself." I had originally planned it to be this 30+ chapter thing that takes place over the entire school year, and though I do have an outline of that, it's a huge prospect - especially seeing as how I do have other stories outlined in the LiS world that are significantly shorter.
I do think about it and go back to it, but it's a reality that's possible for sure.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
It's cool if it works. It's all relative on the perspective of the story and whether we are supposed to know what's being said and stuff.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
My first fandom was Inu-yasha and I was writing Sesshomaru/Miroku slashfics on fanfiction.net.
So yeah. I'm old.
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
"A Common Cold."
I wrote this fic for a mutual who was sick at the time and it was because of this that we became friends. She's actually one of the people that tagged me to do this, so here's to you Zoey!!
I'll tag @dmmeeble, @fazedlight, and @daisychainsandbowties for this, but if you're scrolling down, see this, and hankering to do this as well, go for it!

Fic Writing Review 2023 🌈
Thank you sm @itwoodbeprefect for the tag!!!
I hardly published anything this year so if u wanna skip to 'projects for 2024' that's gonna be the most interesting bit >.<
Words and Fics (on ao3) 📚
words posted: 714 💀 but many more words were written, just not posted lol
fics posted: 1
first fic/last fic 😅: King of the Eyesores - Doctor Who (1963)
Ships and Fandoms ⚓
Doctor Who - no ships really but KotE is Mike Yates-centric.
Top 5 Fics by Kudos 🏆
It's KotE again lol which is at 6 kudos. Of all time, tho:
After the Hour(glass) - Night at the Museum (Jedtavius)
Less Than Ideal Circumstances - The Man from UNCLE (TV) (Napollya)
When They Sleep - The Man from UNCLE (TV)
Dismiss Your Fears - Back to the Future
After All, I'm Only Sleeping - Doctor Who (1963)
Top 5 Favorite Fics 💖
KotE......... I do actually rly enjoy KotE I think it has potential in terms of where it's going. But since I only posted one fic in 2023, I'll do my top 5 of fics I've ever posted. Apart from the first one this is in no particular order
tickertape - The A-Team (TV) it's my baby it's all I thought about for months of my life, it's like an iceberg (i.e. most of it is in my WIP doc, and only a tiny fraction is published so far), it got me thru a difficult time, it's an exploration of mental illness and complicated messy relationships expressed in epic format (i.e. it's probably gonna be novel length when it's done)
Bullet Number Six - Starsky & Hutch (TV) it received criticism for being obscure and hard to follow bc it switches pov briefly halfway thru but idc i love it anyway
I Gotta Right to Sing the Blues - The A-Team (TV) it was my first A-Team fic and I still think for a beginner it nailed some p realistic in-character dialogue and addressed an undertone I wished I'd seen addressed in the ep it's a coda to.
When They Sleep - The Man from UNCLE (TV) it's kind of riddled with certain mannerisms of my slightly older writing which I personally find a bit annoying and have worked to iron out for the sake of elegance over the years. but I still think it's a cool little exploration of all my sleep headcanons for the pair of them in one place
King of the Eyesores - Doctor Who (1963) see it made it to the list after all! I kinda like it more for its potential than for what it is right now butttttt who cares.
special mention to Unbereft (Starsky & Hutch) which I really really like but I wrote it in one frenzied sitting and only remembered after I'd posted it that it was very like someone else's fic I'd read several years previously. I don't think it's too much like to be taken down and I've since mentioned the writer of the other fic (it was dawnwind, hello!) in the notes. that's the only reason unbereft isn't in my top 5 because I'm otherwise really proud of how well it's written. Not to tootle on my own trumpet.
Fandom fic events
none RIP but maybe this year!!
Projects for 2024
Okay here we goooooooooooo
priority 1 is to finish the unfinished works that I've already half posted: King of the Eyesores, Every Line A Comedy, OUTATIME, The Windhover, tickertape, The Hanoi Bank Job and Other Misadventures, 38 Hours. Bolded are my top priorities.
other works that I'm writing but which haven't seen the light of day at all yet:
Dear Mike - an epistolary between Jo Grant and Mike Yates following her marriage to Cliff Jones.
The Lark/Behind That Locked Door (working titles) - a 30-chapter 2/Jamie fic about season 6B in which Jamie suffers permanent memory problems after the War Games. It explores grief, social ostracism, feeling abandoned, undirected anger, guilt, and acceptance that healing sometimes is a process that is never complete. I've been working on it since about 2016 lol but I'm lazy I just need to press on.
hell valley au - as yet untitled lol. In which the Hell Valley!Marty (who is never seen in BTTF2 as he is in Switzerland) and Hell Valley!Doc (who has been institutionalized) break out of their respective situations and go on the run together. But there's a problem - they had to leave Einstein behind, and when they get information that Einie is to be used for a dogfight, they make the risky decision to go back to Hill Valley to rescue him. However, going back to the place they just escaped by the skin of their teeth also brings them face to face with the last person they expect to meet.
a changed man (working title) - a Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased) fic from Jeannie's pov. mostly it's about their picnic excursions but it's also about Jeannie wishing Marty wasn't such an elephant in the room
mfu/rahd xover (untitled) - the first chapter of this is almost ready to go tbh. it's what it says on the tin lol, Napoleon and Illya go to London and get help from a rather eccentric private detective who has uncanny powers of solving impossible cases but also they think is probably clinically insane
to see him happy - VERY weird rahd fic. it's smut but its also about grief. might never post it because several of my family members have access to my tumblr and therefore my ao3 lol they dont need to see that
the winter of '62 - a study of jeff and marty's life when they lived together in a grotty bedsit and couldnt afford to put the heating on
star wars (untitled) - set during ROTJ, han pov. han's lost a lot of time and now everyone is one step ahead of him which isn't a sensation he's used to
skyrissian - what it says on the tin lol
the older gen (untitled) - jeeves fic about bertie's aunts and uncles and parents as they were as they variously grew up, got married, had children, died (or didn't), fell prey to alcoholism or insanity or petty crime, went to war, prospered (or didn't)... This is pretty unlikely to be finished this year tbh as it's very detailed but I can dream
a couple of long form fics about starsky & hutch and mfu respectively (the s&h one is set post sweet revenge, the mfu one takes place at various moments throughout the show)
x-files series - canon compliant until paperclip and then gradually diverges into how i think the show should have gone lol. another biggie
and a handful of tintin fics that im protective of and might never post but we'll see - one where tintin and chang go on holiday in london after picaros, one where the gang encounters rajaijah one last time (featuring a letter from didi, chang making a very daring crossing at the songolese border, and tintin taking about ten years to chop up a clove of garlic), and one where tintin gets shitfaced at an embassy ball and accidentally starts an Incident. haddock looks on, appalled.
i knoooooooooooooooowww this is a lot but i'm not realistically hoping to finish it all this year but it's nice to have lots of things to play around with lol.
unfortunately i have the eternal problem of not ever knowing which of my mutuals write fic and which of those havent already been tagged but imma tag @theteaisaddictive and genuinely if u see this and u write fic ur tagged i want to knowwwwwwwwwwwww <333

20 Questions For Writers
Thank you, @sinvulkt! I saw someone else post one of these a while ago, and it looked fun, so thanks so much for the tag! 💛💛💛
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Seven. Technically eight, but one of them is part of another and just separated for logistical reasons, so it doesn't really count.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
190,105 words
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Star Wars
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Fortune's Rule, 536 kudos
Missing Pieces No More, 142
Whispers From Tomorrow, 126
Petrichor, 42
Threadbare, 30
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Most of the time! Sometimes it takes a while because busy + tired, but I enjoy it when other authors respond to my comments, so I want to respond other people's comments. :)
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably Threadbare. Wouldn't say it's a full-on angsty ending, because I tend to go for angsty beginnings/middles and happy endings, but it's the closest I've got.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Whispers From Tomorrow, by virtue of it being a pre-Order-66 fix-it.
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
I've gotten a little. You know how FFN can be. There was this one kinda funny one instance where somebody was silent for like 20 chapters, and then absolutely flipped their lid in a comment after I killed off a character. Not even a main character! Oops....
9. Do you write smut?
Nope.
10. Do you write crossovers?
Not as a rule, but I did start scribbling down this weird idea for Anne Shirley, from Anne of Green Gables, ending up in the GFFA during the Clone Wars via some witchery in the Haunted Wood. What gets me is how I told my brother about it, and he promptly started nagging me to write it because he wants to read it XD
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No, but feel free to do so if you're interested!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
No.
14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?
Meh, not really a big shipper.
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
WIP I will never finish? What are you talking about?
There are no unfinished WIPS in Ba Sing Se.
Seriously, though, probably my Padmé ROTS time loop fic. I had this idea for Padmé to keep looping back to some point in ROTS after she dies. I love the idea, it's roughly outlined and I've written some snippets, and there's this one scene that I'd really like to include, but I'm just not sure how to make the time loop AU work in this scenario.
16. What’s your writing strengths?
Grammar, usage, and mechanics. And maybe angst, oddly enough. Never figured myself for an angst writer, but then I started writing Fortune's Rule, and here we are.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
Speed. I write slowly. I also tend to end up going down research rabbit holes that suck up my time and energy. And I have a really hard time saying no to adding more characters, which adds to the whole writing-takes-a-long-time thing.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Sure! I've enjoyed putting little bits of Mando'a and Huttese into Fortune's Rule.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Calico Captive, by Elizabeth George Speare, when I was in my early teens. Never managed to get a whole fic out of it, and what fragments I did write were terribly underdeveloped, sentimental, and shallow. But we all have to start somewhere!
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Fortune's Rule, all the way! I know it's not finished yet, but it is my precious and my problem child, and I love it to bits!
In a way, it's a very self-indulgent story, because it's got all the tropes I most adore, and it's like a puzzle, trying to figure out how to put all these different elements together in a way that's believable, and how to have characters develop to where I want them to be.
Plus, it's also given me some fun surprises, like Padmé and Ahsoka being besties, Ventress becoming Obi-Wan's confidant for a certain matter, and Piett becoming a friend/confidant/emotional support admiral for Starkiller.
And there's so much more fun stuff planned, especially as we're getting close the start of an arc I've been planning since before I started posting the fic in 2021! (There will be child hijinks. There will be pirates. There will be sand, and angst and fluff galore. And I am so kriffing excited.)
Tagging (If you're interested! I'm doing like sinvulkt and tagging some authors I've interacted with a bit on AO3; hope this isn't a nuisance to anyone! :) ) @musewrangler, @clawedandcute, @xxiamnotokay666xx

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers!
tagged by @bbcphile～ thank you my dear 🫶
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
30 right now～ what a nice number!
2. What's your total AO3 word count?
363,479!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
so many, lol. right now, i'm actively writing for LHL and YRZX (and a bit LZTJ), but i previously wrote a lot for QYJ, CHSSN, and DMBJ.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
may we tie our hearts together again ⚫️⚪️ QingYa
9k, red string AU, canon + post-canon
NOTICE: Seeking Marriage Partner 💙💚 PingXie
5k, post-canon
青山仍在 | as long as the green hills remain 🪷🐕 HuaFang
7k, post-canon fix-it
but ask for no regrets 💙💚 PingXie
5k, canon-compliant N+1 things
a ghost walks into a soldier's house 💙🤍 SuiTang | 🖤💚 WeiLan
16k, crossover + crack treated seriously
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
i try my best to, but for various reasons comments will accumulate in my inbox and i might not respond to them until even a year later. but please believe me, i do read every single one.
6. What is a fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
i write a lot of HEs... perhaps only an echo, since the entire premise of that (unfinished) series is an AU where Wu Xie isn't there to fulfill his ten-year promise with Xiaoge. rather than angsty endings, i write more angsty stories? in which case, the angstiest might be 千里自同风 | no distance too great as a canon-compliant post-canon fic that follows Fang Duobing's journey of grief. (but i don't think the ending of that is sad, tbh.) alternatively, 飞蛾扑火 | for you, i'll gladly burn is another contender given Shen Yi's big reveal in the last chapter (but also don't think the ending is sad). 红尘似水，万事入歌 | the world becomes song is pretty sad too if only because we the readers know the characters' fates in canon.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
honestly, i think most of my fics are HEs. or if not "happy," comforting for sure. most of my fics end with a promise to be together, to spend an ordinary life together, to have the chance to be in the moment together. it might not be super, like, grand or dramatic or anything - but i genuinely think all my fics have peaceful endings. so take your pick, peruse my works～
8. Do you get hate on fics?
rarely, and the few times that i have, i've simply deleted them.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
nope. i don't know how to, LOL
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
i have a guilty pleasure of writing crossovers, lol. i think they're all kinda wild:
a ghost walks into a soldier's house
镇魂 Guardian & 成化十四年 The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty
do not speak as loud as my heart
盗墓笔记 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles & 镇魂 Guardian
红尘似水，万事入歌 | the world becomes song
鬓边不是海棠红 Winter Begonia & 老九门 Mystic Nine
懷月夢 | on the summit, sun and snow
三生三世枕上书 Eternal Love of Dream & 封神演义 The Investiture of The Gods
照猫画狐 | tracing a cat to draw a fox
猎罪图鉴 Under the Skin & 无眠之境 Desire Catcher
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i know of. don't steal my fics.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
yes! 此生如梦 | this life, a dream was tl'ed into Russian～
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
yes～ @naiwong-bao and i somehow churned out the 111k monster that was 懷月夢 | on the summit, sun and snow. to this day, i have no idea how we did that, LOL
14. What's your all-time favorite ship?
impossible for me to choose～ recency bias will suggest 🦊🐼 青也, 🪷🐕 花方, and 🎨🔍 城心城翊 though～
15. What's a wip you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
my 往前走 莫回呀头 | go forward and don't look back series 🥹 i had two more parts planned originally after Xiuxiu's POV... one was Liu Sang, the other was Xiaoge. (there was an undetermined Bai Haotian POV fic too.) i also definitely won't be finishing the sound of snowfall (and don't want to LOL)
16. What are your writing strengths?
atmosphere and rhythm, i think. maybe because i used to write a lot of poetry? i also have faith in my world-building (bc i do a LOT of research) and dialogue. in terms of tropes, it must undoubtedly be hurt/comfort.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
i'm not good at writing fight/action scenes (probably another reason why i literally cannot write smut). i also don't think i'm super great at description, but i think i've been improving.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
this is an interesting question because i actually write all my dialogue in Chinese first and then tl it to English since i pretty exclusively write for c-media now 😆 i like that a lot bc i think it helps me to more accurately characterize these ppl - but also it sucks tremendously when English is just the ugliest-sounding language in the world, LOL. (i always think my original Chinese dialogue is prettier and has more depth～)
19. First fandom you wrote for?
the first fandom i posted fic on AO3 for was Good Omens: i love(d) you. but in my life, it was probably like... Warriors (yes, the cats) or Shugo Chara..? idk, or maybe Case Closed (still love that series despite how insufferably long it's gotten).
20. Favorite fic you've written?
only children need to choose; adults can have everything～

20 Questions for Fic Writers
Thanks to @daddygrandpaandthebeaver for the tag.
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
30
2. What’s your total word count?
44,659
3. What fandoms do you write for?
I write for mostly The Legend of Zelda and Bob's Burgers, but I have written for Escape Room and had thoughts about Six of Crows stuff. And that one Uncle Obi-Wan fic I did for flufftober last year.
4. Top 5 fics by kudos
Too Late
Seeking Solace With You
A Life Interrupted
Stay in Bed
I Met You in a Closet
The first and third aren't surprising, they're both older works of mine. Too Late is an angsty coldfalsh fic I wrote back when I was into the the Flash/Legends of Tomorrow. A Life Interrupted is my unfinished Roudise soulmate au (perhaps the upcoming theme week will motivate me to finish).
I was actually really happy to see Seeking Solace With You to be the second most popular. It's one that I'm proud of, and put a bit more into emotion-wise.
I'm actually surprised Stay in Bed and I Met You in a Closet (both zelink) made it into the top five as I didn't think they were my best works.
5. Do you respond to comments?
I respond to some of them. I'm a bit shy/anxious and I tend to overthink what I say. I absolutely love every comment I get, and I read every one even if I'm slow to respond.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
That would be Too Late, as it deals with the aftermath of The Flash's season three finale where Barry enters the speedforce (I had to refresh my memory of what happened it's been so long, haha).
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Since I love happy endings, there's a few of them. I'll highlight two and cheat a little:
A Call to Ears: A roudise fic where Louise catches Rudy trying on her bunny ears.
And
Dancing with Freckles and Glasses: a Telink fic post Wind Waker where Link helps Tetra practice dancing before a ball.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Luckily no, even when I make typos and errors.
9. Do you write smut?
I do not. The most I do is hint and let readers make their own decisions.
10. Do you write crossovers?
No, not really.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
As far as I know, I have not.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I have not.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
I cheat again, as I love both Roudise and zelink.
But I also love a lot of ships that I don't write, but read and enjoy canon material of.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?
There are a few I have in early stages of writing in notebooks or scraps in a word doc, not much of note.
I suppose A Life Interrupted is one that I have no idea if I'll actually finish since I would have to think of a new way to end it. A good gist of what I may have originally meant as an ending can be read in Hidden in Plain Slide where I have some of my headcannon of Louise not liking things changing is on display, as well as the running away after a confession.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I had a comment on a fic that mentioned nonsexual intimacy and friendship underlying the characters attraction, and I would say that I always try to write relationships that feel balanced in their romantic elements.
I also think I've learned how to tell when something is working and when something is needed to make it work. Especially keeping character's true to their characterizations as best I can. So long as it sounds proper, I'm happy.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Finishing multi-chapter fics. It haunts me that I haven't finished A Life Interrupted, and every so often I think of it.
I could stand to go over my writing for typos and mistakes more. If I think about it too much, I'm sure I could think of a million things.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language?
I could only do French outside of English, but I wouldn't. While I'm technically bilingual, I'm fairly rusty and don't have confidence to write a whole story in French.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
It would either be Harry Potter or the City of Ember all the way back in my fanfic.org days.
20. Favorite fic you’ve ever written?
I'm going to cheat again and list some I haven't mentioned yet:
Morning Person (roudise)
Burger Approval (zekina, with the Bob and Zeke relationship as a focus)
Lies Carved in Stone (zelink)
This was an interesting one. For tags, if anyone wants to do it, then feel free.

Hey so I get really long-winded answering these, so I'm going to add a cut to make sure I'm not putting a long-ass post on anyone's dash.
For context: I'm answering questions about art/my art/my artistic process for an ask game.
10. how do you deal with artblock?
well, poorly usually. I'm pretty bad at getting myself to draw on any given occasion even though I love it, so I tend to deal with art block by playing video games. (Though when this is unavoidable due to an assignment or commission, I just kind of,, make what I need to make even though I hate it.) I will say, it helps so much to engage with creative media. Admittedly, I'm pretty bad about getting myself to engage with anything outside of youtube, I'm always trying to be better about this. As a consequence, though, I've discovered that if I'm having bad art block, engaging with anything creative that *isn't* my primary method of creation, drawing, will often inspire me, even if the artblock doesn't go away. Watching a movie usually helps a lot.
13. talk about a wip you like!
Hm, this one is hard because I don't have a lot of WIPs in the sense of actually having anything tangible but unfinished. My stuff tends to either be entirely in my head or i've done it. With that in mind, I've been wanting to make art of me and my dad's Tavs (player characters in Baldur's Gate 3) for a while. I also have a dghda-related project that I'm working on which I *do* have tangible thumbnails for part of, but I'm waiting to share that for a while. As for something tangible yet unfinished that I *can* share...
I got into making isometric art back in June-ish last year. This is art of a building in a campaign I'm running that I never finished. Also, this character art of an NPC in that campaign
24. whats a compliment about your art that has always stuck with you?
this one is really hard to answer because I swear I have a brain like a sieve, but in general I know that I love when people scream in the tags of art I make. I enjoy being complimented on my use of color because that's something I really struggle with.
30. whats something you're proud of about your artstyle?
maybe anatomy? line texture? I dunno, I'm always trying to grow and do different things with my art, so it's hard to be like "I love X!" because it's all so prone to change. With that said, I love drawing noses, and I think that I wouldn't if I didn't like the style I tend to draw them in.
Thanks for the ask!
Questions are from this post!
#sorry i got so carried away with the artblock answer (and the WIP answer)#i just have a very complex and pained relationship with it an executive dysfunction#i've been wanting to do some art of Cats the musical for like 4 days straight and i just haven't yet for no reason#never ask me to talk about art it's one of my special interests that I could legitimately talk about for hours and hours#ask game

20 Questions for Fic Writers
@duquesademiel making me do words on Tumblr instead of writing fic (love you!!! 😘)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I have 30 posted, 1 complete in drafts, and [redacted] anonymous 😈
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
according to the stats page, 440k! (but the one I have in drafts will get me over 500k and I'm thinking about doing a giveaway when I hit that milestone?)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Formula 1 RPF!!
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
I’ve Got a Feeling That I’m Not Complete Anymore, Take Me With You, The Boy With the Storm-Colored Eyes, Another Deep Dive All The Way Down, Croissants in Aub Dhabi
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Very very rarely. I use comments as a metric and adding my own makes it feel like I'm artificially increasing the count. Plus, if I start thanking one person I feel like I have to thank them all and then that spirals out of control. (Not to mention I have so much anxiety over reading comments and sometimes the brain just goes eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee)
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I tend to prefer 'angst with a happy ending', but probably Another Window To Break Out from my 1016 week fics.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Probably With You Around Me It’s Just So Easy To Be In Love. This whole series is just fluff. Everything else tends to have some angst along the way, though I think the series A Nymph's Heart also has a stupidly happy ending.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yeah, I got some on I’ve Got a Feeling That I’m Not Complete Anymore, but it's also my most-kudos'd (at least, until I get 3 more on Take Me With You) so I kind-of assume those were anomalies? It definitely sucks that I can't go back and read those comments since I haven't (and won't) delete the bad ones and I know there are lovely people who left me nice comments.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Yes. The sort of smut that has too much exposition, plenty of aftercare, and frequently bondage. There has to be feelings involved with my smut and, in my opinion, that's the best part of the smut.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Nope!
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Nope! (I hope...)
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Nope!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Well...technically there's one in-progress but my co-conspirators are too busy and have too many other projects so it's on the back-burner and I'm too shy to ask them if it's ever going to get done but I'm sure it will someday and I'm patient and I don't want to bother them about it and I'm perfectly happy posting my own stuff and...
14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?
That is so difficult to answer. In F1 RPF it's easily Piarles. I used to read a fuck-ton of Drarry but Harry Potter anything gives me the ick these days, even fanfiction. If I had to pick an All-Time favorite, it's probably SuzaLulu from Code Geass. (Honestly I haven't touched the fandom in years but I might go check what's on AO3 these days hmmmm.....)
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I'm good about finishing my WIPs...eventually. The good thing for anyone who likes reading my stuff is that I do not post unless it's finished so you'll never have an unfinished work from me!
(That being said, I was writing some [redacted]!Charles and it was hitting a little too close to home so I might not go back to that one...)
16. What are your writing strengths?
Fantasy worldbuilding. I love the setup and introducing a strange new place. Actually probably worldbuilding in general, fantasy or not.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Resolutions. I often *hand wave* over an ending and it's just...yep! everything's good here! all done!
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I am hopelessly monolingual so I will not. I will use commonly-known endearments (Calamar, mon amour, schatz, etc.) but no actual dialogue.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
You will have to pry that information from my cold, dead hands.
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Bittersweet, That Glitter and it's not even fucking close. It's just...everything to me. The world, the characters, the story...it's so fucking good.
I have exactly zero clue who else has answered this already so @golden-fairylights, @hrhgeorgerussell, and @your-littlesecret if y'all haven't and want to play along??
#do I talk about Dragon!Pierre enough?? No???#sol gets warm blankets and hugs instead of soup#thank you for the tag 🥰#(would anyone even be interested in a giveaway?)#(I have like...no idea if anyone would even want that??)

#2, 4, 7, and 13 from BOTH of the writer's ask games you reblogged around 9:30 this morning!
oooooooh i like your style!
2. What was the first story you've ever written?
It was probably the detective story I wrote about my friends and I when I was in middle school. First fanfic I started, though, was an unfinished SW fic about Luke Skywalker on Hoth.
2. A character whose POV you’re currently exploring?
I've been really enjoying experimenting with first-person POV in my pjo fics, especially Annabeth's POV!
4. What is your favorite genre to write for?
I really like writing old-fashioned romances, like period drama type stuff, because I enjoy going off on long, poetic rambles about emotions!
4. A story idea you haven't written yet?
I have ideas for a few different superhero universes, as well as a story that's a modern AU crossover of Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Wizard of Oz, wherein Alice, Wendy, and Dorothy find themselves as college roommates and discover they have supernatural abilities based on the magical lands they've traveled to.
7. Who is the OC who is most like you?
I have a few who are direct self-insert characters (mostly superheroes from a card game I made a while back) and some who are definitely-not-self-inserts-no-why-would-you-ask-that-hahahaha (Seventy from a Star Wars fic, for example) but I'm gonna have to go with my girl Maristella from my original wip.
7. Your preferred writing fonts?
I am an EB Garamond girlie, though Georgia is not bad either!
13. What feedback did you receive for your writing that stuck with you?
When I was a teen, I spent a lot of time on the Star Wars wiki forums, and one time I posted a chapter of an unfinished fic, and everyone said they really liked it and that my voice and style kept them hooked, and that's always stuck with me as one of my strengths. As far as negative feedback I've used the most, I've been told I italicize things a little too much 😅
13. A fandom you're thinking about writing for?
Most of the fandoms I've considered I have already written something for. It might be neat, though, to work on a crossover fic with a bunch of Burnett's works. The Burnettverse, if you will. @melliabee and I had an idea for a canon-divergent spinoff of The Shuttle that would take place in the modern era and would tie in nicely with T. Tembarom, and The White People, and we might be able to tuck a couple more ideas into that one as well. Mayhaps someday....

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes. As soon as I see them I will reply with a thank you or to engage with someone's question/musings/etc.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Probably a Roadrat one. It's been a while since I've read my work, but The Things They Lost is a Roadrat fic where I explored a bunch of like... when Junkrat lost his arm and stuff like that. Brutal, tbh.
Next closest is my Alucard (OT3) Castlevania fic where he is BIG SAD about Trevor and Sypha not being there. Nights Spent Alone.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
UUuhhhuhuhuh..... I mostly write sad shit LOL. Milkshakes has a happy ending. It's a 2 part modern-day Steddie fic about the boys asking each other out on a date over Instagram.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've never seen any hate on my fics before.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Uhh, yeah. I do. PWP or With Plot. I like full stories that have smut that BELONGS there, but then we've got just straight-up PWP. That is what Basketball short is tbh.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
No, never written a crossover. I've written lots of AUs though.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No. Dunno how I'd figure that out.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
No.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope. Dunno what that would look like tbh.
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Steddie; for right now.
My other top 3 are Harley/Ivy, Tim/Kon-El, and Lan Wangji/Wei Wuxian
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
NO IDEA. Lol, all my unfinished WIPs are either ones I have no interest in finishing (Roadrat), or ones I can complete faith in being able to finish (Steddie)
16. What are your writing strengths?
Speed. I can compose a story very quickly and put it together.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I never promote myself/share. I'm really bad at sharing my works. Additionally, I'm bad at finishing things before I lose interest.... eep.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Uuhh maybe. I def have some Ancient Greek and Latin in my up-coming Robin (Stobin platonic) fic.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I'm not sure... maybe Batman (Tim/Jason or Tim/Kon). I RP'd A LOT from ages 13-18 and had like 5-8 rps going at once for a whole bunch of fandoms. (Naruto, OCs in the Star Wars universe, Tim/Kon, and more I can't remember atm).
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
Ooohhh, I dunno. I'm bad at picking favourites. Right now I'm pretty proud of my Because I Want You Steddie fic. It's Steve and Eddie as 30-year-olds with kids. They broke up in their 20s and are trying to get back together in their 30s. Eddie has a complete breakdown in it, but Steve is there to tell him that he loves him.
I don't think about this stuff at all xDDD Fic writing is just a pass time for me. This will be the first time EVER in over 18 years of writing fic that I've EVER participated in an exchange/Big Bang. I'll tag @medusapelagia @oh-stars @br0ck-eddie @kallisto-k

------------------------------------
I Don't know why I decided to torture myself by doing this but here we go:
1. 150,849
2. 52
3. And They Call It Salvation (TMFU/Unfinished)
4. House Telcontar (LoTR)
5. Oh… either my series The Fallout (Mission: Impossible), which was more of a self-indulgent thing tbh; or my long running Witcher fic, On the Streets Of Novigrad.
6. And Our Love Shall Be Like The Stars (TMFU)
7. The only times I have uses song lyrics (This being twice, and only for Good Omens fics) were The Velvet Underground and Lauren Aquilina.
8. Napoleon Solo/Illya Kuryakin (Sometimes Gaby joins this tag). Second place goes to Ethan Hunt/August Walker. By ONE FIC!
9. Crowley/Aziraphale (Good Omens)
10. Scales and Secrets (TMFU) I think it took me two hours.
11. The Finer Act of Kindness (The Witcher.) Though there are a few others who come a close second…
12. about six or seven 😊
13. On The Streets of Novigrad (Witcher) By a long shot.
14. If I Could Turn Back The Time (TMFU). At 588 words.
15. And They Call It Salvation (TMFU), Narnin O in Duath O Ernil (Middle-Earth) and On The Streets Of Novigrad (Witcher)
16. Napoleon Solo is a Little Shit. (Thank you, Writing GOD!!!)
17. Oh darn… tough one… Either Crowley or Illya/Napoleon…
18. Bruce Wayne. By far.
19. I’d like to do more Aziraphale/Crowley next year, but also to try and get back into Sherlock/John.
20. Eughhhh that’s an embarrassing question! …It would be, I Can’t Not Love You (TMFU)
21. 1,530
22. On The Streets of Novigrad (Witcher)
23. No, sadly 😊 But it’s on the Bucket List hehe
24. I did indeed! 4 of them!
25. No. Unless Kudos and Lovely comments count- I got plenty of those <3
26. Like Fandom? I’m confused. If it’s fandom then it’s Man From UNCLE 2015…
27. Dear lord- I have far too many playlists on Spotify- tailor made for almost every fic… So uh… Music?
28. At the moment it’s either We All Have Our Shadows (BvS), or Scales and Secrets (TMFU)
29. Blarghhhh why are these questions so HARD???
llya does too, but he is far from willing to offer that up.
Now, in the stillness, Illya takes his first uninterrupted look at the man he has been looming over. The dark curls mattered with sweat and blood… eyes the color of a summer sky… O’ bozhe but Illya misses the sky… the way it would unspool in an endless ribbon over the city. In his memory, the buildings are untarnished, the clouds drifting on a slight breeze as a little boy runs amongst the leaves in a park, blond hair shining in the sunlight. Nothing has hurt him yet. Perhaps nothing ever will… if Illya does not blink.
30. Probably just how kind everyone is. The fandoms I belong to- especially The Man From UNCLE one- are just such wonderful people <3

20 questions for fic writers!
I saw @lavender-lotion do this and thought, might as well have some fun with it 💕
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
AO3 says it's 44, buuut only 30 are actually different stories. the other 14 are translations of my own works (aka the same story but in German) so I don't count them.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
149,030 and holy shit when did that happen <.<... (well, there are also the 14 translations in that number, but yeah)
3. What fandoms do you write for?
mostly Teen Wolf and a bit of Assassin's Creed
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Wolf Heart
Intruder
Loyality
Not afraid
Come Back With Me
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes, because I love that people love my stuff and I want to show them that I love it xD
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Uhm. I'm more of a fluff writer, sooo... I think the angstiest would be Dead on Time just because it hints at something that might happen in the next part?
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think currently most of my fics have about the same kind of happy endings oO...
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Not yet and I hope it stays that way.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
No.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
Yes I do and I think the one that's currently still the craziest is the sci-fi-ish Teen Wolf Murderbot AU/pobably crossover <.<...
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not yet and I hope it stays that way.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Not from someone else but I do translate my own fics German <--> English
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no.
14. What’s your all time favourite ship?
Steter 😂
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I currently intend to finish all my WIPs 😂
16. What are your writing strengths?
I have great ideas especially for knitting situations together and "explain away" (plot) inconsistencies
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
keeping details like time or something that someone (already) said consistent especially over longer fics, my own time management when I commited to posting fic chapters of an unfinished fic 😂, writing "into the blue" without a plan where it'll go or end
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Sure, as long as there's a translation at the end (or enough context to infer what's been said)
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Vision of Escaflowne
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
Uff, that's a hard one. I don't have any fics written I actually dislike and only a couple I like less than the rest. I do love my current projects but I think one of my favorites will always be Not Afraid - even though, or maybe especially because when I wrote it I had even less knowledge of canon than I have now 😂 But it still reads well and I have fond memories of the writing process!
Tagging everyone who wants to do this :3
Also, a blank version below the cut!

Hi Mo!
❄️ and ☔️, please? :3
Hi, Arja! 💗 I am wishing you an allergen-free day c:
(wip ask game)
❄️Share a snippet from a WIP of your choosing.
Tabris couldn’t read Zevran’s face, either. He wasn’t smiling. His eyes looked—she didn’t know. Would it be horrible if she was sick right now?
Yes. She should say something instead.
“He died,” she said.
There: easy. Shianni squeezed her hand again and didn’t let go, fingers winding tighter and tighter around hers, bones grinding hard against each other.
Like dogs, Shianni.
No, no; that was done with now. It was all over and gone.
Zevran was still looking at her, but Wen couldn’t hold his eyes anymore. She hunched her shoulders and turned back to Shianni instead. She couldn’t stand being crushed in between this place and him, couldn’t stand the idea of reaching for him and knowing that he was reaching back.
No; she had to do this alone. Not in the sense that she would be leaving them behind—she might be cold, but she wasn’t stupid. No. They would come with her, but she couldn’t think of them right now. She couldn’t think of the Wardens or the Landsmeet or any of the rest until much, much later.
“We can discuss it later.”
Never. She wanted to discuss it never.
Wen set the blade of a very sharp knife between the memories and now. She cut until the two didn’t touch anymore. When she was done, she straightened at last and looked at her cousin.
“Tell me about this quarantine,” she said. “Who must I kill?”
☔Is there a fic concept you have that you'd like to just explain and share because you're not sure you'll ever write it? If so, what is it?
Technically a UFO (unfinished object) but: Jazz Age!
It is a vaguely 20s/30s-ish AU set in Kirkwall. It is both a period of history I love and also a period of music I enjoy deeply, and I think some of the historical themes (aftermath of a devastating war leading to rapid changes in culture and rebuilding efforts) match up reasonably well to what's going on post-Blight/Chantry explosion. It would be a Cullavellan thing with Emma and Cullen, kind of noirish in tone.
Emma is the ace reporter of the Kirkwall Herald, an investigative reporter pushed to the society pages as the nobility struggle to elect a new Viscount. Cullen is the Knight-Commander of an empty Circle, trying to keep the remaining Templars turned to a helpful task in the wake of the mage-templar war. When Emma angers a prospective Viscount candidate, the two of them fall into a series of investigations of the city's underbelly together.
It has a lot of fun elements I like (mutual pining, begrudging respect, an old-school circus, Hawke and Fenris are there and run a PI office, fancy train cars, somewhat intense discussions of how being an elf might effect access to resources and security in an alienage, and one of those really fun timelines that skips back and forth) but alas, I got annoyed with all the research I was having to do to keep it somewhat accurate, so I lost interest in the idea as a whole and dropped it.
But I want the world to appreciate my vision nonetheless: it's Emma in the left oufit and Cullen in the one on the right. (half of the reason i thought of this at all was for the outfits, tbh; one of my favorite fashion eras):
#arianwen tabris#ask game response#oc ask response#ask response#wip#shivunin scrivening#i had a gorgeous bottle green women's suit saved somewhere but i can't find it :c

Blurb #30
I'm going to try to share 70 blurbs from my WIPs and unfinished fics to celebrate reaching 70 posted fics! To help with this endeavor, please feel free to send me a word or a fandom you know I write for, and I'll share the blurb. IDK if I'll get 70 prompts, but let's try it! Send as many as you want!
Soos' truck puttered down a main road, one that you wouldn't suspect anything spooky to happen. They bumped over railroad tracks.
"Those tracks lead up to the plant. We're getting close."
After the tracks, the right side of the road was lined with a white picket fence, it's paint chipped and flaking. The conversations in the car came to a halt with the car. There was a break in the fence, and a dirt road. A sign was nailed to a tree and painted with red letters. "DO NOT ENTER."
"This is it dudes. There's still time to turn back."
"No way man! This is wicked awesome!" Shouted Wendy.
"Melonheads! Melonheads!" The twins chanted from the back.
"Alright dudes, but I warned you."
The truck lurched forward and entered into the break of the trees.
It was still early evening, but the path seemed so much darker. The branches reached forward and twisted like fingers.
"Guys~I think I hear coyotes!" Thompson yelled from the roof.
"Yo! Shut up man!" Nate shouted back.
"You're going to tip them off!" Lee followed up.
The truck shook as Soos followed the winding road. Then, an eerie silence came over everyone as the tunnel appeared in front of them.
"Whoa…"
The entrance was solidly black. The tunnel was big enough for the truck to go through, but slowly. Soos turned on his headlights, but the end could not be seen.
“Must be a turn somewhere,” Dipper stated.
“So, are we gonna sit here? Or are we going to bag us a Melonhead?!” Robbie asked, enthusiastically.
Wendy and Mabel turned around. “What do you mean ‘bag one’?”
“Duh, we kidnap one and sell it to a museum for big money!”
“They’re human beings you moron!” Mabel shouted.
“Hey whoa, calm down. I was just joking around. There probably isn’t anything on the other side of this tunnel anyway.”
“Only one way to find out.” Dipper shrugged. “Soos, onward.”
“Okay, dude.”

O, Q, S for the writer asks
O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?
I guess I start with Putting Those Guys In A Situation. For me, character is always more my priority than plot (which I think is related to how much I can't plan out a fic!). I have a basic idea for a Situation and then let the characters guide me.
Q: Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?
A ton!! The fact of my 40 unfinished WIPs is that 30 of those will likely never be finished (or finished enough for me to feel good about posting) and are therefore essentially discarded. Maybe the real treasure was the 30K of writing we did along the way even if it was never seen by anyone else 🙏🏻. I also never fully delete anything I write, because a) I am by nature a pack rat and b) in the hopes I might one day come back and finish them or finally figure out the missing piece that makes them come together and sing. And then I do have my Dead Darlings doc, which is full of discarded scenes and ideas divorced from a larger ghostly WIP.
S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?
answered!
