4 (beta lactam) and 31?

it did go thru but you never know with tumblr.......

4. What detail in [insert fic] are you really proud of?

ah beta lactam..... there are so many details and things i agonized over that were just because i was being insane. i dont know if i would say im proud of it necessarily but one of my favorite details that i think is funny is that dew is the only one who didnt drink the juice shots mountain brought and then hes the one who gets sick

31. What’s your ideal fic length to write?

i feel like 5k is just the right amount to feel like ive accomplished something without being too hard to keep track of everything. i try my hardest to make outlines and stuff but i never really trust it and have to keep rereading my wip as im writing and it gets exhausting quickly. and i start to hate it if i read it too much. and on the other end a 1-2k fic feels disappointing. i dont think i actually have many fics around the 5k range though

10. How do you decide what to write?

ok so for me its like getting struck by lightning. i usually have a vague idea or concept that i want to write a fic about like recently it was masochist dew. and then days weeks months later all of a sudden i know what i have to write and often its like oh no i cant do that but i have to. either its oh no or its completely euphoric. and the vague idea congeals into a rough outline over the course of 5 minutes

12. Are there any tropes you used to dislike but have grown on you?

i cant think of any general non-fandom-specific tropes like this but i think there are a lot of shared fanon concepts that i dont personally care for but have come to accept as part of the lore. like "the lake" for example.... there are fics i adore that include the lake. i even included a lake referred to as "the" lake in my phantom sunburn fic but ITS NOT THE SAME they had to drive there

49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!

wellllll im writing masochist dew using ideas ive thought about for a long time. not revealing the actual concept yet because everything embarasses me but i think ive written enough to have a section that doesnt actually reveal anything.....

Dew twitches when it makes contact. He’s so sensitive like this. It’s not his default mode of [being]; he tends to have a high pain tolerance, but it’s built, Rain has always suspected, on a very specific type of mental fortitude, and pride. If that foundation is destabilized the whole [tower] is liable to come crumbling down. That’s the hope, anyway.
