Thanks @hbyrde36 for the tag, this is a good one! *rubs hands together*

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

23 (so far)

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

543,459 (like, what? I only started writing fic on AO3 Aug 22. Rambler apparently)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently, Stranger Things - Steve/Eddie

Historically, The Office - Jim/Pam

I also have 1 I wrote for Doctor Who that I posted last year on AO3 that I probably wrote in 2009. - 10 Doctor/Rose

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

The Artist and The Hair

Your Silence Gives Me a Migraine

It Takes a Muscle to Fall In Love

Must Have/Can't Stand Checklist

My whole existence is flawed (You get me closer to God)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Yes. I honestly don't get that many so totally manageable and I like to acknowledge the time they took to do it.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Oof, well I always have a happy ending, but I will say my Glimpse of Us series, is a rough one emotionally for everyone involved for 90% of each fic. Or, you could say my When It's Time (I'll Be There) with a 5-1 near death for Steve where he keeps having flashes of Eddie in the afterlife, the 1 is it's no longer a near death for Steve, but they end up together so that's the happy part.

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

IMO, This Is Supposed to be My Damn Year, because the epliogue goes 30+ years in their future.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

No, I'm flying pretty low under the radar so I'm more thinking if people don't like it they don't leave a kudos.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

Yes...it's Steddie so it's all on the table. I've done the sweet romantic, done the rough aggressive, from BJ to 1st person Eddie, haven't touched many kinks or rape/non-con, but I do have a couple WIPs with Steve maybe being a little OOC and cruising/glory hole situation.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

No, although if you look at half of my fics it would look like it but actually those are both me. Long story, but short version is I couldn't login to one account for 6 months so created a new one and then once I could get in I "merged" together.

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I mean, you're not going to get a real answer while I'm still head first in a brainrot of Steddie. 2 years ago you would've gotten a totally different answer but the ships I've had have always helped me process through some shit, and Steddie did that too, so they all hold a special place in my heart for different reasons.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

There's a bunch in my files but I won't post it, if I'm not going to finish it. I will never leave a WIP up again. I left one open for like 10 years one time, which was insane because at some point during that time period I actually finished it, but I didn't post the last chapter until like last year when I got back into writing fanfic.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'm not sure. I hope it's authenticity, something that feels realistic, reasonable, could totally happen. This feels like a question I'd have to ask people that read my work.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Run on sentences. Thank god for Grammarly, seriously.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I think it's cool if the author can speak that language. Sometimes utilizing tools like Google translate etc loses the authenticity of language and communication from a human connection standpoint. I'm not saying you shouldn't use them just notice how a vibe can be off when used.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The Office back on MTT (More Than That) message board and archive. When I'd post my "icons", desktop wallpapers, etc on my Livejournal. My fics are still up actually. I cross posted one on AO3, the one I finally posted the last chapter of but when I go back and read them now I'm like oh man that's a totally different author. And really it was.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I love love love love my Must Have/Can't Stand Checklist. I've read it myself several times. It's a dichotomy for me of what was going on in my personal life vs the warm, fluffy, cuteness I was writing. I used that fic as a distraction, my mom was going through lung cancer diagnoses and then surgery, so during the day I was being the caretaker and working an insane amount of hours stressed out to the max, and at night I was writing two boys being madly in love being silly and happy together. it has a decent number of views (for me) but in the grand scheme of many other writers I read and follow, it's slim numbers. Still means a lot to me that people have also enjoyed this fic.

to my darling j anon:

(putting this under a readmore because it's emotional and sappy and i'm embarrassed) 😩

first of all i am so sorry to leave you hanging for a few days. i just really needed time to make sure this response is good enough, and sometimes i have to do this thing where i go through all 5 stages of grief before i can put my feelings into words properly.

thank you so incredibly much for your birthday message. seriously, thank you. your message made me full-on cry when i read it, happy and sad tears. you're so amazing and so sweet to me. i really hope you know how important you've become to me over these past few months.

the fact that you remember so many things that i've said about her in the past 🥺 like the fact that she's a thoughtful gift-giver. i completely agree about the cake -- she could absolutely NOT do it on her own. small tangent but i can't stop imagining Annie going to her dad for help since at least in TRNT he's the only one there to ask, and he says yes because he wants to spend time with her. but he does NOT know what he's doing either. i don't think the cake would even make it into the oven. they give up after neither of them can figure out how to crack an egg without getting shell in the batter. Annie goes to buy a cake from a bakery instead.

the second half is where i start getting mad emotional - i know it's not that deep and i'm probably being dramatic (url :/ it's part of the package). but i'm crushed that you said you're leaving. i understand, i really do. tumblr can be overwhelming sometimes and completely dead at others. and then the attack on titan fandom all around fucking SUCKS -- there's a reason i detach and stay in my own little world. but i guess i keep thinking about how there are some people i really miss having in my life that i don't talk to anymore or who have died and how much i wished i could've spent my birthday with them, and i know you're still gonna check ao3 but i'm gonna miss being your friend so much 😣 you're leaving a massive j-shaped hole in my heart.

you're a little bit of a sneaky one too, like i genuinely have no clue who you are. sometimes when i get an anonymous message, there'll be a string of likes right next to the ask and i'll be like 'hmmm interesting coincidence' but i genuinely truly don't have a clue who you are? if i could figure out who you are i would've already sent you a private message.

i don't want to ask you to come off anon since i don't know your reasons for being anonymous in the first place, and if you're not comfortable then i'll never bring it up again. but i think i'd really regret not telling you how much i'll miss you and how much happiness you brought me.

your interest in the road not taken is one of the reasons that i've kept up with it. i love the story so much but i got really depressed last fall / winter and there were several times that i wanted to abandon the fic since it was such a heavy task. having somebody message me about trnt on a regular basis gave me so much, more than i can ever properly put into words. as the story expanded it has picked up more of a following but i wouldn't have gotten here if it wasn't for you.

you cared about the books they were reading and the awkward Papa interactions and the little things from the start. you asked questions nobody else besides my wife did. and having a friend who understands what i'm trying to do thematically that also cares about me as an author AND a person is so rare. you did so much for me j anon 😥 you helped me out of one of the darkest moments of my life and i don't think you know even know how much you mean to me. i should've said it more often because now i'm worried it's too late

i love you ok? i wish you the best in your life and i'll be manifesting good vibes to be sent your way. enjoy our girl in color and motion a little extra hard for me this sunday. and if this is goodbye for now, then please come back to me someday. you'll be missed. so much

#j anon #tsuki answers #dont read this i don't have feelings or emotions actually and i don't want to be perceived waaahhhh 😭
