🍓and 🎲for the tag game !!

thank you for the ask, mwah!! 🥰🌷

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction?

as a tiny kid i used to write a lot of original stuff but inspired heavily by whatever i‘d just read or watched. fannish explorations of characters and re-writes of canon started in primary school when i used to role play some imaginary harry potter scenes (i know :///) on the school yard — like same scene every time, and we were sooo many characters jumping around the scene to sell it :D once we got outing 4th grade i started writing the things instead of playing them out with my friend. (first real fic writing fandom was hobbit/lord of the rings, i think.)

and now here i am 🥰

🎲 ⇢ what stops you from writing more in your free time?

oh there’s a series of things that stop me. it needs to be said that the way i write is not at all sustainable, so reason number one would be a need to re-charge. there’s a certain emotional heaviness sometimes that i need to genuinely recover from.

another reason is simply a lack of inspiration or motivation, or a lack of patience for a certain story/wip/idea. or an unwillingness for that amount of emotional vulnerability, or even a momentary inability for it.

see, writing takes so much energy for me, and i know yall come in claiming “dio you’re so talented” and i kiss yall on the nose. but it’s not talent, it’s skill and it’s proficiency and it’s really hard work, and if i want to keep a certain quality, i must allow myself the luxury of taking my time between one work and the next.

and unfortunately i’m also really fucking mentally ill and when you’re busy keeping yourself alive against your will, calling it “free time” is a bit of a stretch more often than any of us are willing to admit

🤍🌷 anyway, send me some asks
