#wyll: I WAS 12 GET OFF MY CASE

Writer interview
Tagged by @bardic-inspo - aww thank you! ❤
Tagging @spacebarbarianweird (although I know you have heaps outside of AO3 / original works, so may be a bit tricky), @tragedybunny and @ineadhyn (no pressure!)
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
17, but some are multi-chapter. All BG3.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
38,869 - I'm just a baby
3. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
A remedy for sleeplessness - Smut. My very first smut, which I also think is my worst, written purely for shits and giggles. 🤷♀️
A night at the inn - Smut. Halsin threesome trilogy. This one I actually appreciate having a lot of kudos on.
Missionary with the lights off - Smut, also written for shits and giggles.
Intimacy - Not smut! But does have smut elements.
Seeing stars - You guessed it. Smut.
4. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Oh absolutely. I appreciate every single one of them (and they are so hard to come by!). Also all this, whether tumblr or AO3, is a community - I don't think any of us what to feel like we're just shouting into the void.
(psst, if you are a reader and you think you don't have anything worthwhile to say, or that you're annoying the writer or whatnot - rest assured that is NEVER the case - every single little thing even if it's just a string of emojis is appreciated, and absolutely makes my day)
5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
I don't really do angst, and especially not angsty endings. I stick to fluff, humour and smut (or a combination of the three). I do add angsty elements sometimes, and so far the ones that touched the most on it are Down by the river and Intimacy - both dealing with Astarion's trauma.
6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
They all have happy or hopeful endings. The absolute happiest mushiest one is Confession
7. Do you write crossovers?
Nope, at least I haven't yet.
8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Nah, I haven't done anything controversial enough to warrant anger, I think.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Boy do I! All I've been able to write lately seems to be smut, tbh.
I've done a lot of Astarion x f!Tav, sometimes with a third character thrown in. Nothing too crazy.
10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not as far as I know.
11. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Probably not.
12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Nope, I don't know that I would be a great writing partner tbh - sometimes trying to get words out of my brain is like squeezing water out of a rock - I'd hate to let anyone down.
13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
Astarion x my OC has been consuming my mind lately, I suppose I'm going to have to count that.
14. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
I don't know whether I should count it as a WIP, but I've been playing with the idea of having my OC and Astarion have threesomes with all the other companions (we're skipping Karlach because I HC that they're besties of the variety you do not have sex with).
I've recently done one with Wyll, as well as Halsin (twice, actually, and I'll do it again!). Maybe it's time to go for a M/F/F, I haven't done that yet... Hmm...
15. What are your writing strengths?
Going by what I personally find the easiest / am most confident with - dialogue. It's also the funnest part of writing for me, and I've had a fair share of compliments specifically for the banter, or for getting the characters' voices right.
16. What are your writing weaknesses?
Descriptions. I can write banter all day, and I'm okay at getting inside a character's head and getting their emotions out, but ask me to describe a sunset (room / dress / whatever) and I'll probably just cry and jump out a window.
17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I'm not a fan of this as a reader (occasional words or phrases are okay, if there's a footnote with a translation), and I don't add it as a writer. I tend to just generalise with "he swore in elvish" and similar.
18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Final Fantasy 8. I wrote little comedic tidbits. (well, 12 year old me thought they were funny, anyway) I don't think any of it has survived to this day.
19. What’s a fandom/ship you haven’t written for yet but want to?
I don't have any fandoms on my mind besides BG3, but as I've said in no. 14 above, I want to write something M/F/F.
20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Hmm, this changes constantly... Ultimately this will hopefully be my longfic that I'm working on.
I think it's a tie between the pure debauched horniness of A night at the inn and the more mellow Seeing stars which also showcases my OC's relationship with Astarion and all the things I think I do best.

ZJINN LORE ZJINN LORE
1, 10, 12, 29, 46, 51
for the character questions pleeeease 🤲 (feel free to pick obv. if u don't feel like all of them ahah but if you do. PLS) 👀
MY FRIEND THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! ✨
This is very much a WIP since I'm still learning about them, but ZJINN LOREEE ZJINN LORE LETSA GO!
1] What's the lie your character says most often?
Most consistently: how they lost their eye (they wear an eyepatch and get asked about it a lot) and loves to change the story up on everyone.
Bonus: Zjinn is multiclassing bard who has adventure and chaos woven into their fucked up DNA. In their case, embellishment and lying is in their kit 😂
10] What fact do they excitedly tell everyone about at every opportunity?
When feeling ornery, Zjinn takes something one of their companions told them and repeats it...but, like, shreds the fact up and sprinkles it into a Salad of Lies. See the above answer for context lol. Gale is victim of this a lot because they like to argue (affectionate) and he makes it too easy. Wizard vs Sorcerer💜🧙♂️ (Also I doodled this for you below) :D
Putting the rest beneath the cut!
12] What's something that makes them laugh every single time? Be specific!
Before the Urge really starts taking a toll on Zjinn, I'd say wrestling (or dancing, if she can get him to) with Wyll - it always ends up silly. "Stupid" drinking games with Karlach...non-serious bickering with Gale (or coming up with absurd twists on incantations to the point one or both of them accidentally take it into battle). When Astarion really gets going on anyone (Zjinn included), she finds a rhythm in his words/voice and turns it into a song, which pisses him off (affectionate) but makes everyone else laugh. Those are the more wholesome things - excluding the dark edgy stuff lol
29] How do they respond when someone doesn’t believe them?
They just keep telling the story, making it even more ludicrous/gross and insert the non-believer into the story as a character where they end up in a compromising/humiliating position until someone (Gale, Wyll, etc) decides to step in or physically removes her😂 She likes to antagonise people.
46] Are they a listener or a talker? If they’re a listener, what makes them talk? If they’re a talker, what makes them listen?
I'd say both! As a bard, Zjinn loves stories and telling them. If it's someone Zjinn respects and has deemed worthy, she tends to listen. Those that fall into category of "utter bellend" she tends to start shit talking them with Astarion until they take notice. :>
51] What’s a phrase they say a lot?
I feel like Zjinn is the type to latch onto something a companion might accidentally say in a funny (unfortunate) way and repeat it in battle or while doing mundane activities, so I don't have anything specific? But I have a HC that Karlach and Wyll would love this and join in on it lol
