Transcribed from @stylinbreeze60's post.
Feel free to send me a letter(s) (or any question really! xD)
A: How did you come up with the title to Rogue?
I just left it at Rogue's name. It was just simple and to the point.
B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?
I would say not so much personal experiences. The only possible relation could be my own struggles with some aspects of autism and Rogue/Atlas's handicaps. A lot of Rogue draws inspiration from other forms of media that I've watched or read in the past. Works like: My Neighbor Totoro, Iron Giant, and Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron being the biggest.
C: What character do you identify with most?
Hmmm. Rogue at many points. Maybe Hange
D: Is there a song or a playlist to associate with Rogue?
When plotting chapters, I'll listen to a lot of EDM, Trance, and the like. Some rap. It depends on the type of scene I'm writing.
E: If you wrote a sequel to Rogue, what would it be about?
I don't see a sequel per se after it is all said and done. The only thing I could see as a continuation is a lot of fun one shots.
F: Share a snippet from one of your favourite dialogue scenes you've written and explain why you're proud of it.
Hmmmm....
I'll let you guys have that lol.
M: Got any premises on the back burner that you'd care to share?
Literally they all involve Eren's Titan form lol. There was a were titan idea and then there was the crack fic series Titan Parents AU that I post every great once in a while on X. Titan Parents is technically a ReinerxEren as titans fic and its mostly the two of them being dysfunctional idiots dealing with titan instincts and the fact that one of their lovely duels resulted in more than fighting and now they are going to be parents to a titan baby. It's crack treated seriously with mature themes and Eren having a very foul mouth that rivals Levi. I get to write more R rated humor here.
A Weretitans fic would explore the idea where instead of a human inside the nape Eren literally transforms into a titan much like a werewolf in a more graphic body horror way. I kind of hate the fact that in AOT canon the titan power is like a meat mech. But this aspect with lots of typical horror elements added.
N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
Oh boy. I'll revise this question as "Fics I love but hope they will one day finish' Well, there are some good Titan Eren fics that have unfortunately not updated in a long time. They are so good. There was Reject Reality, Shifter Among Men, Hiraeth by Rovonn, The Injury Condundrum, Itty Bitty, Der Preis Der Freiheit , Metamorphosis.... and others.
O: How do you begin a story—with the plot, or the characters?
I think with Rogue, and probably my own content, its characters first.
P: Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an "architect" or a "gardener"? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the storu unfold as you go?)
I plan in advance. I have entire word documents of just notes for each chapter.
Q: How do you feel about collaborations?
I rarely do them. But I did collaborate with @cowcat44artz with the titan Parents AU They draw wonderful art and I wrote fics for some of her illustrations and related once shots to the AU. I collaborated with Tokilono with a fic as well.
R: Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?
I haven't read any book in years oddly enough, I just focus on my own writing.
S: Any fandom tropes you can't resist?
Just Titan Eren being a big beautiful S.O.B (like Connie said)
T: Any fandom tropes you can't stand?
ABO dynamics. I will pass over a fic like this instantly. It has never appealed to me.
U: Share three of your favourite fic writers and why you like them so much.
I can't put them in order, but they are the authors of some of the fics above.
V: If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?
Lmao, I would rewrite the end to AOT - or something clever with Eren coming back still with titan powers.
W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?
I don't care that much. If I get an idea I'll write it.
X: A character you enjoy making suffer.
*giggles* Rogue. Eren's titan in general. Eren.
Y: A character you want to protect.
Rogue but he must suffer.
Z: Major character death—do you ever write/read it? Is there a character whose death you can't tolerate?
Oh boy wait till you see what I have in store lol I don't show mercy.
This was fun.
