rarsneezesi posted this to tumblr as well but i dont' trust tumblr to not randomly delete my shit or something so i'm archiving it here as well ((questions from here)
1) how many fics have i written? ao3 says 164. counting the shit on ffn i didn't crosspost to ao3 and all my unposted wips, it's probably at least 200. fucking insane but i'm proud of it
2) average length - oneshots average 3k pretty consistently, but i "oops i accidentally 10k" "oops i accidentally 20k" "oops i accidentally 70k" a lot. longfics actually tend to average 50k lol. ftpverse is an outlier and should not be counted
3) favorite trope? trauma recovery
4) favorite part abt writing? ....tbh i don't know if i have a *favorite* slkdfjsf writing itself is just really fun to me. but i always love getting to write characters who are really familiar with each other (dialogue and casual affection)
5) easiest part? dialogue, hands down, i write a lot of fic specifically becuase my brain is constantly generating dialogue for me ad infinitum
6) writing pet peeves - i always overgenerate ideas for scenes and trimming them down into One Coherent Scene and scrapping dialogue i really loved but isn't working is hell
7) writing habits - i basically write daily from 9pm til i sleep, of course with various dicking around on twitter off and on all the while. if i go three days w/o writing i get antsy
8) weird soup nonsense be like: "She could extricate herself from the rappigs, but if she’s on the floor with them no one’s going to give her shit about being on the floor, and then she’d have to like ask Peony if she can fucking sit somewhere? She’ll take the pigs."
9) i have various ideas but i'm still thinking about "recently promoted desian general botta takes one look at the angelus project bullshit and goes 'fuck this, actually,' and breaks anna out"
10) a favorite line from a fic..... obviously it's hard to pick out of 200 fucking works but i think about the
mythra: i miss feeling better
jade: i'm sorry
from soup a lot
11) favorite scene - INSTALLMENT 24'S FMK SCENE IS THE BEST SCENE I HAVE EVER WRITTEN, EVER. like there's a lot of really good scenes in ywkon actually but you just don't top the FMK scene you really don't
12) most treasured fic? ....ftpverse and ywkon both mean a lot to me lol and it would be like impossible to fairly pick a favorite between the two.
writing for the ftpcast still feels like home, also,,
13) writing methods? think up dialogue for how a scene could go while idly doing other things. frantically write it down. repeat. repeat. repeat. finally write scene and trim dialogue while crying
.....but mostly i just open a word doc and (shia voice) Just Do It, lol,
14) favorite character - I DONT' THINK THIS IS A FAIR QUESTION AT ALL I LVOE ALL MY CHILDREN EQUALLY???????????????????????????
15) fave title? unfortunately "sir that's my emotional support bartender" haunts me
16) most used tag - probably "alternate universe" lmao
17) most used rating - gen
18) something all my fics have? coping with trauma 9/10, and if not that then "characters lovingly fucking with each other"
19) most important part of writing - My Dudes I Just Slap Words On A Page Because I Physically Don't Know How To Do Anything Else, Don't Ask Me For Advice
20) "a fic that best represents me as a writer" is like, a hard question to answer?? at least since i have literally 200 fics lmao...
i feel like nothing's fair and do you know her are objectively my most well written/coherent works, but,
ftpverse and ywkon both are. like i poured years of my life and hundreds of thousands of words into both of them, so they both represent me pretty well???
........soup is pretty indicative of both my "it's about the coping with trauma/escaping abuse" and the "the fun of unlikely characters being forced to get along"
