fic writer questions

[mayalaen]

Kinda stealing this but not really because @oddsocksandstuff​​ said it was open to everybody :D

1) How many works do you have on AO3?
167 (39 more if you consider Tumblr Ask Box Requests is 40 separate fics)

2) What's your total AO3 word count?
1,449,494

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
9 but most of them are crack/crossovers for challenges

4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Tumblr Ask Box Requests 

Alpha House 'Verse

Resonance

Best Brother Ever 

CONventional Psychopathy Part 1: Primary Deviance

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I used to respond to every one, but life gets in the way, and then I get all weird about responding to comments older than a couple months so I’m being all weird.

6) What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
Probably Lifeforce, but it was written as crackfic for SPNCH, so does that count?

8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you've written?
I do, but mostly for SPNCH - Crack would be the stupidest one. I’ve got a lot of fusions and crossovers in my files, but I never seem to finish and post them.

9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yup. Quite a lot. I either delete right away or leave a confusing gif. Depends on my mood.

10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
*laughs in a throaty and smuttysmutty way*

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Just recently CON ‘verse was used to make a series of books the “author” is getting paid for on multiple platforms that refuse to take it down.

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes. People ask all the time, but I only said once yes. It was for Twenty-Four Hours and daskopfino translated it.

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Kinda. Souf and I did one for SPNCH. Also my beta, Kim, is so involved with my two biggest ‘verses it kinda feels like she co-wrote them.

14) What's your all time favorite ship?
I can’t say I have a favorite. I might have favorites in each fandom, but pinning it down to one out of all them is impossible.

15) What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
Rewritten in the Stars. It involves a lot of time jumps and piecing things together to fit in with canon, so unless I have a lot less real life stuff going on, I won’t be able to get it together.

16) What are your writing strengths?
I’m comfortable with dialog, smut, and hurt/comfort. I’m comfortable being dark and describing/creating horror and violence.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?
Description and filler. I get anxious adding detail to my fics because I worry a reader will get bored even though I love description and heavy detail. When I reread a fic, I realize it goes much faster than when you’re writing, so I go back and add more detail, but it’s still not enough.

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I haven’t tried it. English is the only language I know well enough to be confident with it, so if I ever had to write someone who spoke another language, I’d probably just put it in italics.

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?
When I was a kid, I wrote some Hardy Boys fanfics, but it wasn’t until Stargate SG1 that I posted a fic online.

20) What's your favorite fic you've written?
My favorite ‘verse is CONventional Psychopathy but Dreamweaver was pretty fun too!
