Ohhhh! I love that Cool Asks for Fic Writers survey! How fun! Can I ask #1: "Describe yourself how you would describe a character youāre introducing" and #10: "What inspires you the most?"
Sorry this has taken me sooooo long to answer. Ā I literally havenāt touched my laptop in like a week OTL Ā (Iāve been mainlining video games and anime tbh) Ā ANYWAY, better late than never XDD
1. Ā Rachel stood several inches above her best friend, smiling wide and easy. Ā Her glasses flashed in the sunlight, making her squint. Ā As she spoke, she twirled a single strand of her curly, dishwater blond (or mouse brown) hair around one finger, nodding periodically as she waited her turn to speak. Ā As she stood, she kicked her foot in a rhythm only she could feel, making sweeping kicks with her right foot, occasionally skimming over the ground. Ā When she laughed, it was a little loud and un-self-conscious.
10. Ā I am motivated almost entirely by one thing: Ā SPITE. Ā Spite and a perceived lack. Ā So like, X ship is OBSCENELY popular to the point that the sight of it annoys me, AND they have the sheer AUDACITY to tell me Iām wrong for liking my smaller, less popular ship. Ā That BOILS MY BLOOD and suddenly I have five fic written because I was mad and I wanted to prove a point haha.Sometimes I see a HC I hate so I write a fic in counter to it (without pointing it out or anything, Iām not THAT petty)--this has happened like five times and unless Iāve told you, you probably couldnāt tell which were written because someone had an opinion I didnāt like. Ā XD Ā The other is really mild in comparison. Ā I learned that NO one had written a Tokyo Ghoul coffee shop AU, so--not even in the fandom--I wrote the AU. Ā Basically all of my other fic are this particular motivation.The only other reason I write is if Iāve been caught by some idea or image and like... Ā No one else will write it like I want, so I have to write it myself. Ā āI want to read this, not write itā +Ā āI donāt trust ANYONE to write this correctlyā =Ā āI will carry the ring.ā
