I was tagged by @bakedbakermom, @randomfoggytiger, and @illaisland, thank you! <3

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

I have 46 works up right now.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

441,798 ...um. Okay, that is way more than I thought.

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Only X-Files.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

I am very surprised by this, actually. The ones I was hoping for aren't in here at all, LOL. Top 5 by kudos:

All After Such a Desert

Spectacular

fluffy ficlets

Lucky Stars

Unremarkable Days

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try! Sometimes I have times where I don't manage, and then it feels too late. If I ever don't respond, I'm really sorry, they still mean a lot to me.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I don't really write angsty endings, I need my Happily Ever After. But I suppose the most angsty, which is still light angst, would be

Pick up the Pieces

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

I have no idea. I think the one that felt the happiest to me (because it felt so earned when I was writing it) would be

From This Morning Forward

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I haven't gotten hate as such, but pretty hurtful "lectures" on one that almost made me delete it.

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

YEESS. I love writing smut. Lots of kinds.

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

Not anymore, but I have for previous fandoms. I don't think it was anything crazy, though.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not to my knowledge.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Also not to my knowledge, but that would certainly be fun.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes! Some in previous fandoms, and for txf (with @bakedbakermom and @unremarkablehouse):

The Busterverse (in which Mulder is a werewolf).

There are more collaborations to come!

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

MSR! The original ship.

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I have a WIP that I've started well over two years ago and haven't touched in at least a year now. It's set after the cancer arc. Mulder and Scully are dealing with the hangover of their grief while figuring out how to be a couple after getting spontaneously married when they thought she was dying. The bones of it are written, but it refuses to become a real story.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I'm not sure I have any particular strengths, to be honest. I just try my best.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Everything. LOL. I don't know, actually. I struggle with something else on every story. Maybe my greatest weakness is that I can't keep the tone consistent throughout an entire fic. It's all a bit messy in terms of style.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Sure. I'd do it, if it made sense for the fic.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

Stargate Atlantis.

20. Favorite fic you’ve written?

I've had a very tumultuous relationship with this fic while I was writing it and almost deleted it multiple times, but I'm proud of it now and I'm never proud of my fics.
