âď¸ yet another list of fic writer asks
You all seem to like these, so here is another batch of writer asks! These questions are a little more relaxed than the last two. Followers can send an ask with a number OR you can reblog and answer everything like a Q&A.
I always see a lot of âidk if iâm a writerâ in the tags for these so let me just say in advance, yes you are and you can play.
