20 questions for fanfic writers tagged by @kittyphoenix12-xx. Thanks for the tag!!!
How many works do you have on AO3?
22 across four pseudonyms!
What's your total AO3 word count?
251,426 as of November 3rd, 2023
What fandoms do you write for?
Across my fandoms, there are fics for BotW, A:tLA, BBC Merlin and now the MCU. I'm currently only writing MCU fic tho!
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A Spider on the Web (1,077 kudos, MCU, Parkner)
The Scientific Method (246 kudos, MCU, Parkner)
Spidery Thoughts (136 kudos, MCU, Parkner)
How To Train Your Dragon Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (120 kudos, MCU)
Druids and Destinies (117 kudos, BBC Merlin)
Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I do! Because comments make me happy and I wanna engage with my readers (which is also why I have a Discord server for my fics)
If I don't respond, it's probably because it's a longer thread in which I've replied before and I simply don't know what to say.
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I don't do angsty endings. Or, well, I do at the end of a work but usually those have sequels with happier endings. The worst I'm gonna do is bittersweet. But if we allow angsty endings with sequels that have happy endings, The Way of the Sword (A:tLA) will fit best!
What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
All of them tbh!!! Or so many of them. I will say Coffee and Chamomile (MCU, Parkner) though because the overall vibe is also very fluffy.
Do you get hate on fics?
I haven't yet!
Do you write smut?
I do! Mostly as an exploration of my own sexuality since I did struggle to accept my cupiosexuality for years. There's It Turns Out Asexuals CAN Want Sex (MCU, Parkner), and the rewrite of The Scientific Method will get a smut one-shot. I might also write some for Glowing in the Dark (MCU, Parkner) tbh.
Do you write crossovers?
I had ideas but nope! Idk, it's difficult for me to write for me in more than one fandom at a time, and this just ties into it.
Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of.
Have you ever had a fic translated?
Do my own abandoned translations count? If so, then yes.
Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I tried but I feel like co-writing is kinda difficult for me because of the increased pressure. A one-shot or short story is probably fine but anything more than that is just. Idk. My brain does Not Like It.
What's your all-time favorite ship to write for?
Tbh that changes depending on the fandom im in currently! It's Harley Keener/Peter Parker aka Parkner (MCU).
What's A WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?
All of the ones in the fandoms I fell out of tbh.
What are your writing strengths?
I think writing emotions!!! I'm just projecting my own experiences and trauma and I think that gives them a lot of depth and makes them pretty realistic!
What are your writing weaknesses?
I can't keep anything short. I just ramble on and on and on and on and on and—
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
I italicize and use a tooltip workskin so that if you hover over it you can see the translation! (or click on it, if you're using mobile)
For sign language, I haven't figured that one out. I probably won't use ASL grammar bc I simply do not know ASL (tho I do aspire to learn sign language from the country I live) and also bc I heard that can make it harder to read. I might put in italics, might not, idk. I'll see when I'll have to use it!
First fandom you wrote for?
Prinzessin Lillifee (a German book series/magazine about a fairy, often featuring her unicorn and animal friends. I used to spend so much money on the magazines and I'm pretty sure I had an audiobook! Prinzessin Lillifee fanfic was actually what got me into writing, and ironically I wrote one-shots for it.
Favorite fic you've written?
That is so difficult to answer. Probably A Spider on the Web and It Turns Out Asexuals CAN Want Sex. And Glowing in the Dark (MCU, Parkner).
I'm tagging @the-writing-merlin, @chaosisorderao3, @pbpsbff, @graham-cracker-guillotine, and whoever else wants!

trick or treat (it's still halloween for me ok this counts)
kjdsjkdjsd ofc it counts, i only found the spoons to answer on the second of november soooooo
anyway idk which of my fic youd be most interested in, like story-wise, but hey ill just talk a bit about tiab if thats ok dfkjkjfskjf
tiab is basically parkner in a really toxic relationship because peter hasn't worked through his nwh-related trauma at all! basically, peter and harley meet in 2028, move in together in 2029 and break up in 2030 after trying to make it all work. the sequel is set in ,,, i havent figured out the exact year but probably it starts in like 2038. harley moves back to new york and the circumstances make it so its kinda hard to avoid each other and they both don't like it but they work through it bc parkner are soulmates in every universe <3
its basically a "right person, wrong time" kinda thing, and i use this fic to work through some trauma of my own, and just. i wanna try really hard to make it realistic, and not to romanticise the abuse that happened, or treat it as less severe than it is. lets see how that works out kjdfsjksfjk

26 & 30 for ao3 wrapped!
28. Favorite work you wrote this year?
hmmm that's kind of hard to answer bc i love all of them fsdkjjkfsd. if i'd have to decide ... i'd chose two fics:
1. Coffee and Chamomile (a nice fluffy university parkner oneshot that's prolly gonna get two sequel oneshots ft. first dates, identity reveals & some irondad)
2. Glowing in the Dark (a post-iw parkner fic where peter survives the snap and has to live with survivor's guilt, and also i'm projecting my invisible disabilities on him and harley bc if i have to suffer so do they
30. Biggest surprise while writing this year?
i started posting weekly at the beginning of the year after a hiatus of a few months and pretty much years of barely posting, and while i was often told by my friends (who were the only ones who got to read my writing during the time i didn't post) frequently told me that my writing is good, i was quite surprised how many people actually like my fics, especially after i joined a discord server for the fic im writing for. i met so many friends and even a partner through there which—yeah i could have never seen it coming
also i havent written short stories in ages so tbh after i tried my hands at one-shots this years i'm surprised that, if i set my mind to it, i actually can write one-shots (though many of them ended up getting a sequel or are side fics for my twitter fic) or fics that are less than like 20k words.
