Author Interview
I was tagged by @simplyclockwork
Thanks for the tag, dear :)
Name: OmalleyMeetsTibbs
Fandoms: BBC Sherlock
Where you post: Ao3
Most popular multi-chapter fic: By kudos and not co-authored it is His-Not-His which was a gift for the lovely @simplyclockwork
Favourite story you’ve written so far: Probably Naming the Nightmares. It was originally several posts here on tumblr but I wanted to move them to Ao3 and ended up expanding it by about 8,000 when I did. Opps. Lol
Fic you were nervous to post: Definitely my first one In His Pocket. I hadn’t ever written anything remotely that long and had only just recently started writing in the first place. I’m still not sure how it turned out cuz I haven’t gone back to read it once I finished editing it. I don’t think I have the guts to anyway haha.
How you choose your titles: Most of the time they are based off of a line in the story. Other than that...more of a descriptor? I’m not super clever with titles or being smart about using song or poems haha.
Do you outline: Yes, but with the freedom to change it if our boys decide to head me off in a different direction. Sometimes I do just write cuz and idea comes to me, but either not long or it stays a WIP until I do outline and figure out what I want to do with it.
Complete: 17 on Ao3, two of which were co-authored with the lovely @simplyclockwork or @annecumberbatch They are amazing writers and lovely editors. They definitely have shown and continue to show me how to better my writing.
In progress: I have three WIPs that are all longer—fondly refered to as, the magic fic, the wereJohn fic, and the cat and cancer fic. I have a couple more short things from Tumblr I need to move over too.
Coming soon: ...Probably most likely the moves from Tumblr lol. After that. Maybe wereJohn? That one seems the most feasible at the moment. lol.
Do you accept prompts: I have never had one, but I’m willing to try at least! Just know that it may or may not be done depending on if it strikes anything or not.
Upcoming story you are most excited to write: Probably the magic fic mentioned earlier. It all started with this one scene of pining Sherlock and pining John that needed a whole story to explain. I have been wanting to write it for awhile but felt like I needed to get my feet wet before diving into something with so much worldbuilding. Hence In His Pocket and the wereJohn fic as being forays into those ideas :P
Upcoming story you are most excited about: Everyone seems to have a different take on how to answer this, but I’m gonna say Hired Gun by simplyclockwork. Even though I haven’t started reading it, I know the writing will be wonderful and the premise definitely gripped me. It’s been hard to want to read or write recently and there are so many stories out there that call my attention. I love all the authors I follow and hope to read many a wonderful story from them when I can find the werewithall again.
I’ve seen this post go around a lot of the author I follow, but I am unsure who has and who hasn’t done this. So PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE WITH A CHERRY ON TOP if you haven’t done this yet, please do! :)
EDIT: I just realized this said “multi-chapter fic” which I missed and put a one shot for the most popular fic. Multi chapter would be In His Pocket linked elsewhere above
