I got tagged by @biowaredisasterbisexual thanks for the tag, I actually have things to share.

I'm still working on a 'little' one-shot (it's slow going because of work), but it's actually not all that little anymore (6k and counting). It's for my Grey Warden Rook Summer Thorne, for the AU verse I share with @natsora @ohimjustabard and @crackedskel.

on your computer or on your phone (mostly on pc since i write faster there but on the phone when i'm out and about/in bed) | one-shots or multichapter (both! I love doing both, though i do tend towards the one shots more often than not) | <5k or 10k or >10k words per chapter | chronologically or jump back and forth | planning things out or winging it (i am a horrendous planster, i *adore* planning and plotting things but also gotta wing it or i get bored) | drabbles or plot or character study | dialogue or action | romance or comedy (even with the serious ones if they're not occasionally idiots i'm not interested) | mystery or horror | alternate universe or close to canon (i loooooove forging my own road but also keeping as close to canon as possible for it) | writing new content or editing your work | finishing a WIP or starting a new one (i have *so many* frikken wips it's pathetic. and adding a whole bunch of new ones now with this year's kinktober)

Extra questions

How long on average do you spend writing 1 chapter?

*looks at my wips* i can spend eleventymillion years on the thing. aka i am world's slowest author these days

How long do you spend editing?

don't really keep track of this one, but i edit until it feels finished in a good way. like i could *always* continue to pick at it, but there hits a certain level of polished feel that i strive towards for my finished works. though really these things can weeks/months after i get the rough drafts done and am working on the final version

Favourite thing to write?

smut ^-^ and whump. also darker things. but i am a *huge* lover of sexy times to the point where over half of my stuff is in the naughty zone

Hardest thing to write?

Dialogue and action. Usually i'm pretty good at dialogue but when it gets into the heavily emotional parts of a story i *struggle*. action is trying to make it interesting/flow correctly without being too simple ex: see spot run

Fic/story you are most proud of and why?

oh gods. all of them honestly, but i've been super pleased with all my recent stuff. i'm one of those writers who've been writing since being a wee lad, but my skills have grown tremendously in the last few years and i feel like i'm really settling into a firm style for myself. but! if i had to choose one it'd be I Read Your Lips and Believed Your Lies as that's a rather short one but packs a nice solid punch in it

thank you for asking, friend!

I have answered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 21 !

1. What is the worst they've ever been injured?

Ohhh hmm, well, they get injured a lot! I think it was probably that time they got ambushed by a bunch of people trying to kill Viago? When they told the story, they omitted a few key details, such as the fact that by the time they reached Teia's apartment to drop Viago off, they were already seriously injured. She gave them something so they wouldn't bleed out, but they wouldn't stay put. They went to go and kill the target of the contract, which was ANOTHER fight, this time involving magic. And then they returned to the apartment, and it was on fire, so they had to help Teia get Viago out, while still being attacked, and get to one of Teia's emergency hiding places. They got extremely lucky that Teia was there and that they didn't pass out from shock or blood loss at any point. The recovery took four weeks, but at least Viago was stuck recovering, too, so they could annoy him!

5. What event brought them to their lowest, mentally? How did they act during this time?

Um, it's either being exiled from Treviso before the game, or Tearstone Island? They handled the exile MUCH worse, though, mostly just because they actually had time to be upset about it and didn't really have anything to do. Losing Harding and finding out that Varric was dead AND not knowing where Bel was/if she was alive was just kind of... too much to process, when they had things to do. So they spent like an hour disassociating and then moved on. Still had Elgar'nan to kill! (They're GOING to process it in their fic, I'm MAKING them)

While, in terms of what actually happened, getting kicked out of Treviso should have been less traumatizing, the fact that it came with Viago's censure was devastating to them. He's definitely been angry and exasperated with them before, but not like that.

He kind of stripped them of their identity, in a way. Not really on purpose-- and, of course, the action was protective, even if Viago was harsh about it-- but Leth didn't emotionally process it that way. To them, it was only a punishment. And he took away everything they valued as meaningful in a single day.

Many thanks to @biowaredisasterbisexual and @ohimjustabard for the tags!

The rules are basically to share the last line of what you’ve been working on and tag that number of people. :

Rook's laugh sounded freeing and Neve knew they would be okay.

Thanks for the ask, friend <3

fic asks here

😈 Purple prose, likely. I love it and I will stand on my soapbox that sentences can and should be pretty. But even I can admit I can be verbose at times and linger on a moment too long just because I like the way it flows at the sacrifice of pacing.

Thank you for asking! The Rook + Partner ask game is [here] !

I have answered 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 15, 18!

7. Are they a physically affectionate couple? Are they fine displaying those affections in public or do they prefer to be in private? If they're not, how do they prefer to show their love instead?

I kind of think from what we see in game that Lucanis isn’t particularly into PDA? Leth can be very… grabby, but it would be with everyone, so I suspect it wouldn’t really count as romantic PDA. Have you seen how Lucanis looks at Rook, though? I feel like that almost counts lmao

I think in private Leth wants to be like sitting on top of people or squished between them or whatever all the time. They love physical affection, and I think Lucanis probably would too— can’t imagine Neve minds indulging them both.
