Fic Writer Interview

So I decided to snag this from @sparklepocalypse and fill it out because I'm cozy on my couch on New Year's Eve and fighting off a nap like a grumpy toddler. I'm actually fairly certain I've done this one before, now that I think about it, but oh well. The numbers are different since last time, so...

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

60, apparently! 61 being posted later today!

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

178,579

3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Ghosts

Do we still have forever

Volume Control

Retaliation

Modification to the map of you

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

I respond to each and every comment that I receive. I try very hard to leave a personalized message for each person, but no matter what, even if it's just a "thank you," I will always respond! Even if it takes me some time!

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

To this day, the angstiest ending is Darkest before the dawn, which ends with hope, even if it doesn't end with an actual resolution. It's during canon, so the reader know what happens next.

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

I think my most recent Christmas fic, Oh what a laugh it would have been, has probably now overtaken one of my previous fics for overall happiest ending!

7. Do you write crossovers?

I haven't yet, but I'm absolutely open to it given the write parameters!

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

I haven't yet, and I hope I never do, although I know that the internet can be a wild place.

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

If you'd asked me back in July of this year, I would have said that I primarily write fade to black. Since then, I've written ridiculous amounts of smut. I'm still learning about various kinks I'd like to write about, because I don't want to just write without knowledge of the act itself, but I'm wading into the smut-verse now. I'd say the water's up to my knees, at this point. Got a ways to go.

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I'm aware of.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, not that I've been made aware of, but I think it would be so neat.

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

I haven't but catch me and @thinkof-england cowriting something amazing now that the new year has arrived.

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

Y'all are gonna need to sit down for this. I don't think you're ready. Deep breath in. Hold it. Now let it out slowly. Calm your mind. Are you ready? Okay because I know this is going to come as a shock to you when I say that it's FirstPrince.

14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

A Star Trek fic with Jim Kirk x an OC. I started it back in the spring and then RWRB happened and now it's just languishing away in my docs at just shy of 18,000 words.

15. What are your writing strengths?

I've been told that I have realistic dialogue, so I'll count that as a strength. I also think I'm pretty skilled at metaphors. Love a good metaphor.

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

The description of surroundings, including clothing and scenery. I feel like I don't do enough of this sometimes, and I'm trying to better at painting a proper picture.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I've done so! Lots and lots of research and consultation with native speakers to confirm accuracy.

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Pirates of the Caribbean, apparently.

19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?

There isn't really one out there. I'm super content with the permanent campsite I've built in FP land. Hopefully I'm allowed to hang out there for quite some time.

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

How am I supposed to pick a favorite out over 60 fics?!

I suppose if I absolutely HAD to pick right now, right this second, I'd say Ghosts, because the prompt for it as my first ever reader-submitted prompt on a comment from another fic. The reader enjoyed my fic so much that they asked if I'd write another, and Ghosts it what came of that interaction. I loved writing it and sharing it not just with that reader but with the fandom as a whole.

Gonna post my tag list for anyone who wants to participate!

venting about writing post

So there are plenty of criticisms against my writing that I've heard. Yes, I write "too much" spanking. Funny when this comes from someone who thinks it's weird as a kink but shrugs or laughs about it happening to a child. Maybe stop being okay with child abuse and get over what consenting adults choose to do. Oh, and do research going back centuries where spanking and sexual trauma in youth are frequently hand-in-hand. Also, anti-spanking sentiment has existed for centuries. (Y'all hate science and want to abuse your future kids or justify your childhood abuse, I guess?) Yes, I used that nickname that isn't used in canon. Yes, I used pet names, sorry you find that out of character. Yes, I really like writing a lot of AUs for my ships. Yes, I start sentences with "but" and "and" and such sometimes. In first person and in dialogue, this makes a lot of sense, given that some people speak like that. Yes, I guess I do write all my men as "man children" and have never written unique characters in my life. Guess my characterization is flat as fuck. Yes, I'm the worst writer in the writing group. Glad you like that I leave good comments on everyone else's writing so I'm worth keeping around. Good to know I'm worth something. Yes, I am really bad at learning/repeating my mistakes in writing. Even when I edit something 60 times, I find out I used the same word five times in one paragraph. I'm terrible at diversifying my sentence syntax. Yes, my endings are rushed, and after all this time, they're only slightly better. Or maybe not. I'm not a good judge. Yes, I hate my writing and shouldn't, only... maybe if you're tearing it apart or ignoring it all the time, I have no choice but to believe it. Funny how one doesn't care about my feelings being hurt by them until they can accuse me of just not "taking" it. There's criticism and then there's just having a good laugh at my expense.

Wally anon: Oh yay, good. I never know with fans cause some people hate 3 soooo much & it's like damn calm down. (but omg, I know, Idk howwww the same Kevin Williamson who wrote 1/2 planned that shit for 3 & the people who sit around STILL wanting it + Stu to be back is like ???? For me, I'd say things are mostly held together well with 2/3/4 but then you get to 5 & 6 &, well...💀) Oh, I'm not a fan of Judy's kill at all fjdhsk. 🙈 I enjoy Wes's, but wish it had retained the chase element included in the script. Chases are forgotten so frequently & I don't understand howww when everyone always celebrates them when they happen.

Ohhh, I fully misread that lolllll. But guess that's another kink added to the roster for you. 🤭

Yup & it's so weird how some gay will, like...actively chase/obsess over them. Like, I know it's a complicated matter cause you can't help who you like, but...he don't want you. 😶 Especially when they're still able to make you cum even when you've lost the feeling in your legs. 🫣

Oh no💔 Hope you'll be able to bounce outta that 😓 Understandable @ time. I did see how there was a lot of hype for the newest Spider-Man when it dropped (but I fr don't know when the last game I played was I'm terribleeee with that 🫠).

Yupppp 🙌 (I'll see what I can do soon since I'm obviously a little more predisposed to smut lolllll) With such enticing options like Steve & Billy, who wouldn't be? 🤫 (Oh yeah, in general, I feel there isn't enough love for Jason. I understand why. cause some of his behavior, but in the same way that Eddie was reverse engineered to be an ~one season emotional death~ I feel they also. short-changed Jason by making him a ~one season crazy villain~ when it's like...we should be expecting a lot more when we know what this team can do when they try 🤔) (fhdkdk I used. to be a 3 hater specifically. cause Jeff, but I obviouslyyyyy agree with you now from my placement of it in my ranking) I fr wish 3 had. been the end cause everythinggggg revolving around Amanda John & Lynn just WORKS & it is soooo devastating cause how much we had watched Amanda evolve from movie to movie (but no, we just had to keep going & going after that...) fjdhd tear the devs apart damn 😭 But that's good to know @ you still loving it despite issues. I've never played, just watched a lot of streamers/YTers play (since we've established I'm not much of a gamer), but I very much see the appeal. (But ooh. Makes sense with our ongoing Scream discussions. Who all are your favorite characters/killers in the game?)

It's to the point where terminology like "problematic" has lost all meaning for me cause some people will see the way someone eats a bagel & call it problematic (an exaggeration, but at the same time...is it?) like be fr. There are sometimes. where points are made, but with these 2, in particular, I'm like, "Hmmm, I think y'all are speaking too much on them & jumping to conclusions with their characters." 🧐 Yuppp, absolutely agreed with all of that. In general, outside some cases, when plots entirely. have to rely on extended flashbacks to fill-in information, it strikes me as extremely. lazy cause if Laura was supposed to be such an important character...why were we even spending all that time with the other counselors ckdhd? 💀💀💀 Oh yeah, voice. is to be expected cause that's unique to each writer, but when somebody is avoiding any & all attempts at letting readers know what they're in store for in a fic & basically describe themselves exactly as the "reader," it's like okay 50 Shades Of Grey 🫤

There's just tiny little thoughts so far. I'll have to let them ruminate. 👀 Oh that reallyyyy has me picturing him slapping his fat dick on top of the desk & sliding it back & forth over the paper, getting pre-cum everywhere. 😳

Chases are soooo🤭 idk it makes a slasher icon hot when they gotta chase after you. Like wowwww you want to gut them that bad?? Say less‼️ Plus it’s menacing as hell. Like that one scene of ghostface in the opening of the first movie is so well remembered because he’s literally chasing after someone and you see him gaining on Stacy (was that her name?? the blonde girl from the opening of Scream) and that was scary. Knowing someone is booking after you is crazyyyy

Yup yup, it’s my go to for superheroes because “genetic mutations” made them cum a lotttt and let’s apply it to ghosts

LMAO yeah the gay guys that can’t accept straights are straight are the same as men going for women who aren’t interested in them. Same things fr, same disrespect across the board. Exactly!! They’ve cum so much yet they’re making you still leak cum while everything’s weak😮‍💨

Yeah I’m playing some DBD to take a break from it. I do my best writing at night anyways, so I’m waiting for it to get dark and listen to music and all that🤭

Oh, i’ll take angst smut too🤭 that’s just as good whether it’s hatefucking or something more intense. Jason was missed potential tbh… but I think he gets overhated on a lot. Mostly because he was abusive and hurt lucas and max but like… he had no idea what was going on??😭 I like his representation of an actual outsider getting involved in the mess going on behind the scenes that the main group has kept hidden. It’s better than the Hawkins Lab villains being all basic and generic because Jason at least represents the average person.. 3 makes sm sense to be the end of the series because it kills the main guy making the traps. They could’ve (and should’ve) done a spinoff focusing on Amanda instead of writing her out too. I hate that they kept being like “well this person was shadowing john before this person who was shadowing john before this person…” it’s just so repetitive. In terms of Killers, Ghostface is an aesthetically pleasing character but he’s not my main because his power kinda sucks😪 (stalking but he’s too slow to make good use of it), Demogorgon was up there as my main because he can teleport and has a good ‘dash’ ability that lets him do a long range jump attack, and Tiffany (chucky) is really fun for the same reason as Demo (Michael Myers would be on here but I’m waiting for his rework because his power is so ass). Pig I already said was a favorite of mine since you literally put people in reverse bear traps. Trickster, Artist, and Dredge are probably my favorite original killers in the game. In terms of survivors, I just put who’s hottest as my favorite, and usually it’s Renato Lyra (wrote a fic about pookie🤭) and Gabriel Soma. For licensed survivors, I’d choose Steve Harrington or Leon, since they both have decently good perks and are just🥵 (in other source material, they’re just okay looking here but it’s like how fortnite Leon was adapted to fit the games art style.)

Honestly, that’s so real. Like, the bagel could be from a farm that supports X company and that company is bad because they did/said this years ago. It’s so just sksjsks. It’s like boycotts of massive companies and then “cancelling” people online for giving them money. I feel like most people forget that a lot of Americans don’t have the luxury to boycott some places because they offer affordable items, need it for work, etc. So annoying. Tbh I think with fictional characters, it really doesn’t matter about their actions. Obviously, anything fictional about real people is a different story (like yes, it is problematic to write DAHMER FANFIC?!/&/&/&.. sorry, i just still can’t believe it exists. weirdly enough, i complained about that in a fanfic circle and got banned for “yucking someone’s yum” like, excuse me??) The Billy stuff was particularly annoying because you could not say one nice thing about him without his relationship with Max or him being racist becoming a topic of discussion, but my thing is that he’s fictional and the topic of fics has nothing to do with either?? So no one’s glorifying that part of him or making it out to be good. FIFTY SHADES OF GREY IS SO REAL. EL JAMES IS MY ENEMY FOR MESSING WITH TWILIGht‼️ I know i write very dirty fanfics and smut about other peoples characters, but EL James writing Twilight smut fanfic, then publishing it as 50 Shades, then stealing several of Stephanie Meyers’ moves after publishing the book is so crazy.

Okay okay, I won’t take the cake out too early🫣 I’ll wait and excitedly check my inbox for these because they sound interesting👀 And yesss those papers are drenched and sticking together and he’s like “whoops. guess you’ll have to start all over again after you help me out with this.”
