Lmao, I appreciate your choice in letters, friend. ;)

O: How do you begin a story–with the plot, or the characters?

Plot. Definitely always the plot; that’s what grows first in my mind. Not necessarily a finished plot, but the very basic idea of the plot is always what comes first.

B: Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?

Not… really, no. At least not consciously. It’s fully possible something personal sneaks in, but I generally don’t set out to do it. I lead a very boring life tbh, lol

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

Oh man… well… Fake relationship has a tendency to get to me. I can’t help it. TIME TRAVEL. I hate it and I love it. But since we’re talking guilty pleasures… over-the-top melodrama. I will sit there and cackle having a grand ol’ time. But I hate writing it.

I think, anyway. This was a hard one, I’m not really sure tbh. I guess… I kinda do like torturing my fave characters when I write. When I read it, I only do if I know it’s gonna be alright in the end. I can only take hurt if it’s followed by comfort, TBH.

W: Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?

It really depends. For the most part, more general ones work better for me, since my brain has a tendency to pick a direction and go in it. Sometimes when I get quite specific prompts my brain is like “no, that’s not how it happens, no. It’s like this.”

A: How did you come up with the title to “Feel How You Weaken”?

I needed a title and happened to be listening to this song. Part of the lyrics go “deep inside your head, I can feel how you weaken” and I was like “that fits!” so lmao, mystery solved. 

N: Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?

-jedi mind trick wave- you WILL continue to write your awesome stories, regardless of which one it is………

I’M SCREAMING, lmao. This is very flattering and highly amusing 

~this is NOT the author you’re looking for~

AW BUDDY don’t worry, I really doubt it’s garbage. (Alternatively, something I’ve learned over the course of writing classes in high school: a first draft is ALWAYS going to be Not Good. that’s why it’s a first draft. i ignore this fact when i write academic essays because i hate proofreading, but for stories? endless drafts, man, and sometimes multiple beta readers)

Ahahahaha, yeah. what are drafts for academic stuff? Unless you’re in a group and can do it together, pffft.

holy FUCK holy fuck this look so GOOD
