😈 Has there been a point in a story where you did something just to be playfully mean to your readers?

Honestly I don’t think so. The majority of my fic is lighthearted and/or leans towards comedy. I’ve never wanted to be purposefully mean to my readers. I reserve that for characters only. Usually Michael bc his suffering increases my mood by at least 35% each time. ✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. 😉 aslkdjfl this is so hard for me personally. But my handle on characterization is usually well received and I think I can write some pretty entertaining dialogue. It’s probably my greatest strength as a writer. 🎃 Do you write fics for certain holidays? Which is your favorite holiday inspired fic? I GUESS I DO… I’m currently writing a Murderville: Who Killed Santa? fic, and I wrote a Halloween themed boyfights fic as well. The Halloween one is my favorite if only because it’s actually finished and I enjoyed peppering silly vampire/spoopy jokes throughout. 🤲 Would you please share a snippet of a wip? Here’s the intro for an AD boyfights fic I’m writing from the Narrator’s POV just to see if I can pull it off. It’s quite a shift from my preferred POV, which is Gob’s, but I’m having fun with it. --- Michael woke up feeling nauseous. 

If he’d had the gift of narrative foresight, he might’ve glimpsed the emotional trauma on his horizon, and thus done literally anything to keep from screwing himself up, and over, and all the ways in between. Unfortunately for Michael, he was neither omniscient nor prepared for the fallout of having been roped into a bit of a bind earlier. It’s what his older brother, Gob, had been predisposed to call a favor.

michael is trying to make rice krispie treats to share with george michael and maeby circa s1 or so. gob wants Attention.

he has stolen (maybe eaten, michael doesn't ask, michael doesn't want to know) the piece of paper with the recipe, he is putting his fingers in the marshmallow fluff, he has "accidentally" turned the oven off twice, and michael, refusing to admit defeat, grits his teeth and eats an unbaked treat, making himself fucking sticky as hell and miserable.

gob makes fun of him.

cue boyfighting and sticky hands and two children trapped in adults' bodies until they break something in the kitchen which gets them to stop at least long enough to go lick their wounds in the living room.

michael catches gob staring at his lips (there's marshmallow there, gob might've smeared it on when they were fussing with each other) and gets the Hot Wrong thoughts and clears his throat and tries to distract them both by going 'hey why don't we try again tomorrow night' and gob hones in on 'WE' like it's been written in the sky in neon or something

(i do not think they manage to bake anything. unless...

gob gets up to shenanigans by adding a secret special ingredient and if it makes michael easier to kiss then win/win)
