i was tagged by @aconissa for a fanfiction ask game. thanks ana :)

how many works do you have on AO3? 31, but i used to have another ao3 account as well as an account on a website that was for a specific fandom so i don’t really know how many total fics i’ve actually posted to the internet. probably about 100 lol

what’s your total AO3 word count? 569,807 (again, this doesn’t include everything i’ve written on other accounts)

how many fandoms have you written for and what are they? in total, i think about six, but only 4 are on my current ao3 account and they are law and order: svu, killing eve, gentleman jack, and hannibal (hannibal is the first m/m ship i’ve written about since i was a teenager lol)

what are your top 5 fics by kudos? plucking a flower from the grass, after all, i’ve seen what you can do with a death body (but what about a living one), rookie mistakes, touch my tears with your lips (touch my world with your fingertips

do you respond to comments, why or why not? yes. i think it’s rude not to? it’s also a matter of self promotion as well because i think that if you answer comments people are more likely to comment again. i like getting comments and being noticed and ultimately commenters like being responded to by the author and feeling appreciated for reaching out. it’s a win-win.

what’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending? i’ve written a lot of angsty shit in my life, but i usually give things happy endings or at least somewhat hopeful bc, lets be honest, this is fanfiction and that’s what most people want. it’s probably a fic called dishonored from the svu fandom lol

do you write crossovers? no fuck that lol i hate crossovers

have you ever received hate on a fic? yeah, i had a troll that would comment on every single svu fic i wrote for awhile and it was very frustrating because this was on fanfiction.net and there was basically nothing that i could do about it

do you write smut? yeah, and i have way too much experience doing it too haha

have you ever had a fic stolen? yes, someone reposted more than one of my svu fics on a different website and i had to make a claim with the website to get it taken down. very rage-inducing, do not recommend.

have you ever had a fic translated? yes, this was forever ago in a fandom that i will not name, but its out there somewhere on a spanish language fanfiction website

have you ever co-written a fic before? nope, i’m sorry i am a control freak and that would not end well

what’s your all time favourite ship? that’s a hard question, but right now it’s obviously hannibal and will. i’ve also been watching black sails with my sister and silverflint is currently destroying me as well. outside of current fixations, i really love gentleman jack and the ann(e)s

what’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? a gentleman jack au fic. it’s like 30k words and i loved it but i lost steam on it and the new season is taking forever to come out so i have no idea if i’ll ever finish it bc its been two years now

what are your writing strengths? um, i think characterization and dialogue and maybe like making things visceral and easily imaginable? i don’t really know what to call that, but this is just a comment i’ve received a lot over the years

what are your writing weaknesses? verging into smut at every turn lol

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? i don’t really like it because unless you’re bilingual in that language then you have to flip to the notes to get the translation so that takes you out of the flow of the fic. just write it in the language you’re writing and add “he said in spanish” or something like that

what was the first fandom you wrote for? no

what’s your favourite fic you’ve written? the hunger

i’ll tag a few people who i don’t think have been tagged yet, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to: @abigailsbluff @lovesongofsaintsebastian @pendraegon @unmovings @prinxcesskayy (if you’re mutuals with me and you write fic and i didn’t know it i’m sorry lol)

#tag game #that was a funny trip down memory lane thanks ana
