oh shit okay let's fucking GO
fic writer asks
1 we have been asked a few times, and answered here. everyone should read merry go merry gone.
5: What do you wish someone would ask you about [insert fic]? Answer it now!
(also answered here)
no questions. look at my ocs boy.
7. Any worldbuilding you’re particularly proud of?
(also answered here)
for wire guy specifically? all of the branched stuff. we gave a canon character five parents. we think that takes guts. and we think that a lot of the worldbuilding comes through subtly (or not so subtly) in phrygian's perspective, and the way they engage with the world, which makes us happy.
but some of our best worldbuilding was definitely in variance. some of the planetary landmarks are extremely cool. and honestly, the whole thing with biosynthetic technology is awesome. did you know that they literally grow houses out of seeds and the thing architects do is correct micrometer to millimeter scale flaws while they're in early developmental stages, so the building doesn't come out with fucked up windows or slanted floors? there are different types of specialized architects for different house ages and building types. the designers synthesizing the seeds to have particular floor plans have a completely different job.
most houses calcify when they're finished growing and become rigid structures, and further construction work involves making parts of the building malleable again. numerals don't have the same black and white distinctions between "alive" and "not alive" that we do, but it is general scientific consensus that fully grown houses are designed to be dormant and require external energy to be partially, temporarily woken up. there's a common belief among certain populations of laypeople that on some level, buildings are living beings, and houses can be still alive.
15. What’s your favorite AU that you’ve written?
oh god that's a hard one. maybe the variance mech au? or some of the post-havenfree stuff. the stuff we've been writing with ohnyxx and azyrix is pretty fucking good.
we swear there's something we're just forgetting.
17. What highly specific AU do you want to read or write even though you might be the only person to appreciate it?
we did answer this here, and you're one of the two guys mentioned. but rule number one is yes we will absolutely answer it again.
AU where ohnyxx lives a fucking happy life or something. or AU where they and kalrin do some rose bride shit. hey actually do you remember that one story we made where you can pull your soul out in the form of a sword? we think they should do that to each other. just run around with each other's swouls. and be weird about it.
29. What songs would be (or are) on a playlist for [wire guy]? Explain your choices if you want!
now there's a great question! @humanmorph also asked it. apparently everyone wants our musical takes.
we're throwing together a wire guy playlist right now. you can find it here! it's still a work in progress, but we think it's pretty good.
37. Promote one of your own “deep cut” fics (an underrated one, or one that never got as much traction as you think it deserves!). What do you like about it?
friends at the table people should at least read chapter one of six sunday. that's where we keep the figure and phrygian.
47. If [Asbestine Infelidel] was a pair of shoes, what kind would it be? Describe the shoes.
you've singled out the one fic we knew right off the bat we can actually answer this question for. and we KNOW you haven't read it. you're great.
asbestine infelidel is a pair of ragged cloth foot wraps, covered in a strange grey dust. there's a piece of an autumn leaf caught in the gap between its toes.
49. What are you currently working on? Share a few lines if you’re up for it!
well................................. you know
