1. Your favorite fic you’ve written:

I really don’t wanna say  if only you could see me (for the pie that i am) but honestly, I think it is. Not because of the warm reception and popularity, but because it was my first serious story and I worked super hard on it. The amount of research was insane. But I also think it’s my favourite because it feels like a movie when I read it over. There’s actual acts in it and I think I was able to sort of...modernize Steve and incorporate side characters into roles where they mattered? It’s still alive in my head.

2. Your least favorite fic you’ve written:

Fuck. You know what? I think  don’t leave me hanging, (i’m right here). Mainly because I put like, zero effort in it? Ugh. I mean, it had potential but it was entirely rushed. There are bits in it that I like, don’t get me wrong, but I rarely get passed the middle before cringing. So yeah. 

3. Your most popular fic:

if only you could see me (for the pie that i am). Hands down. I don’t know why it almost has 1000 bookmarks. The title is ridiculous. I wrote that pun just to piss my friend off. 

4. The fic you wish more people would read:

Hm. Maybe,  to hold that swelling truth. Yeah. But like, I get it has it’s issues. I sort of suck (REALLY SUCK) at post!WS. But I’m working on it *stares at Brenda*. But there are bits in it that I really love to this day and still move me because pre war Steve and Bucky had more of a chance than post war which kills me. 

5. The fic you most enjoyed writing:

Omg,  i have seen the sun shine without burning. Absolutely! It was so ridiculous and the whole Bucky not knowing if Sam was even a boy or a girl but thinking Steve was with Sam kills me. I think I got through that laughing. I’m a sucker for misunderstandings, which I had had with IOYCSM but I just needed minimal angst. Again, there’s a lot I’d change. But that was a joy.

6. Your funniest fic:

Again,  i have seen the sun shine without burning. I still laugh when just picturing Steve sighing, hair fluttering and covering his face before saying “I can’t believe I still wanna kiss you. God help me.” 

7. Your hottest fic:

I don’t really do smut. Nothing against it! I just suck at it? But I guess the one I’m writing now would be. :)

8. The fic you’d like to be remembered for:

That really silly bakery fic. :) 

9. The thing(s) your fic contributed to fandom headcanon:

Someone baked a stucky cake based off my story and sent me the photo and recipe. I need to find it! It was sweet. Apparently a lot of people tried to make some of the things Steve does. Which is impressive! Oh, headcanon? I don’t think I’m known or influential enough to have that effect. 

10. First fic you wrote/published:

Like, ever? Ahhh. Um, like in 2007 or something on ff.net. But we don’t talk about that. :D

11. Latest fic you wrote/published:

The one I’m working on now with Brenda. Published...it was a Death Note short. But I wrote it about a year ago. Other than that, it would be  what we are is unexpected which I am oddly fond of.

12. What are you working on now?

I don’t have a link to it because part one of it is currently being beta’d but it should be published on my AO3 soon. It’s a Steve and Bucky fic set post!AOU with a supernatural aspect to it. It’s pretty fucking intense. Don’t wanna spoil too much but Brenda likes it and that works for me. I’m thinking it’ll have two-three chapters and well fucking over 20k. :) Soon! There shall be a link when it is. I’m mainly nervous because I usually stray from WIPS because I’ve been tortured in the past, but I guess I’m doing one.
