I'd gladly read them both! But I'm going to vote for the Teachers AU for the fluff-factor :)

Teachers AU for me. But I'll read whatever you put out into the world.

I love both of them so much.... but I love the season 2 AU!! you are amazing so do whatever you like tho I would read anything you wrote for sure

I've always wondered how people do it, and it's really easy!! Will try it soon, thanks for the tip!!

This is amazing! I've just filled mine. We should make some kind of swap! Wish I could send you some FS cookies as a thank you!!

12. Have you ever written a fic and decided never to publish it? Why?

Not finish writting, but yes, I have stopped writting something because I considered that it would provoke a viciously negative reaction in fandom, and I don’t have the energy for that. There is a Fitzskimmons fic half-written in my drafts that someday I would like to turn into an original story, because I don’t think people on fandom would want it.

23. What’s the nicest review you’ve ever gotten?

Probably any by @stillnotapepper, who is a ray of sunshine and always brightens my day and makes me believe my writing is worth way more than what it actually is.

Thank you for the ask! 

34. Was there any fic that you wrote that really surprised you in the fandom reaction? Was it just by the numbers or did they take it an entirely different way?

Several. 

A June Wedding (one day I’ll stop talking about this fic) got a WAY bigger response than I ever would have expected. Like, I’m still mindblown almost two years later. Did you know when you get more than 25 comments on a chapter, AO3 creates a second page for them? Because I learned that with that fic. Amazing. 

It Sucks to be You was one where I got a negative response I didn’t expect. It’s a bodyswap fic, and I was exploring some elements of trans-ness (since it was Fitz and Simmons swapping bodies) with the idea that their gender/pronouns etc didn’t change just because their bodies had. I had the other characters... not exactly being the most sensitive shall we say? And on one chapter I put a note saying “X misgenders Y in this one, just a heads up”. In the following chapter, another character misgendered someone, but through the course of the chapter, I tried to show the thought process that brought them around to seeing how wrong they were to do that. It was that second chapter that got the negative response. It surprised me because I’d expected it on the first one and hadn’t gotten it. 

The other example that comes to mind is both times when I ran the ficathon, the winning fic didn’t have much of a response on AO3 even though the ficathon had a lot of participation on tumblr. This time I said something, but the first time I just stewed in my unhappiness. Saying something was defininitely the better way to go :) (#commentsquad)

48. Does anyone you know from outside of fandom know you write fanfic? Are they involved in the same fandom too?

Yup. Most of my friends and some of my coworkers know that I write fic in my free time. They don’t really read it themselves (for any fandom), but they think it’s a cool hobby to have :)

tested!! worked perfect for me :)
