5. first sentence of the fifth paragraph of an unpublished wip

have the full paragraph since the first sentence isn't particularly interesting. keep in mind that this is a first draft so it's not as polished as i'd like it to be

Malcolm snickers, causing Johnny to make another noise of disgust. “To be a bit more precise, I want your opinion. So no need to start with the Rotten routine.” He hums, the harsh metallic sound of hangers sliding on a garment rack nearly drowning out the little noise. “I've just got the new stock and I need a fresh set of eyes on them."

8. if you had to write a sequel to a fic, you’d write one for…

i still need to write the second chapter of my christmas fic but im being such a lazy sod about it. sorry everyone OTL

19. the most interesting topic you’ve researched for a fic

12. a trope you’re really into right now

ive been getting really into one-sided attraction. i loveee unrequited romance bc im a sick bastard

22. do you ever worry about public reaction to what you’re writing? how do you get past that?

i used to worry about it. i thought i'd get hate for writing rpf or for writing controversial tropes like dubcon. but i havent at all so far, the response to my work has been overwhelmingly positive from both my friends and the fandom at large. so no i dont really worry about it anymore...tho sometimes i wonder 'will ppl even like this?' when im writing smth that appeals to my hyper specific tastes

28. your least favorite part of the writing process

13. a fandom you’re thinking about writing for

hmmm maybe i'll write another fic for the clash? ive only written one so far but it was fun. mick is an enjoyable character to get into the head of. or maybe i'll write a beatles fic. i loveeee john lennon/brian epstein and i need more fics for them that arent so nicey nice

27. your favorite part of the writing process

when i have that spark of inspiration and the words just come pouring out. thats the best feeling in the world

30. share a fic you’re especially proud of

the hardest thing about writing mm/jr is figuring out how mean is too mean for them to be to each other. bc there is def a too far even tho theyre awful ppl who say awful things. after all these are real ppl and i dont want to misrepresent them. as much as i do think that johnny has some unconscious antisemitic bias against malcolm due to being raised catholic (and just being a gentile in general lol) all of the evidence i have and the personal testimony given to me by certain ppl points to johnny being pretty respectful towards jewish ppl and not tolerating antisemitism from other gentiles. so i never want to write a fic that doesnt take that into account. it'd be unfair to johnny

buuuuut...johnny also loves saying nasty things to piss ppl off/hurt ppls feelings on purpose and since malcolm so easily shrugs off insults i def think johnny would try to make things a bit more personal in an effort to get under his skin. very john lennon and brian epstein type of thing. i think theres moments when he goes too far bc he wants to get a reaction for whatever reason. but malcolm knows johnny isnt actually hateful so he doesnt take any of that shit seriously and mocks johnny for going after low hanging fruit
