Thanks for your ask!

The ship is my: Currently my biggest…most complicated…crack ot3 ship that I love yet! It gives me such mixed emotions!

I consider this ship’s feelings: Mutual | Mixed | Strange | Awkward | Platonic | Sibling-like | One-sided | They don’t really like each other 

I’d consider the relationship:

Healthy | Awkward | Abusive | Doesn’t work properly | They’d never get together |

Children:

No | Yes | They’d think about it

Thanks for your ask!

#1: What is your favorite season?

Asylum!

#2: What is your least favorite season?

Freak Show. It was too weird for me...couldn't finish it even now! The jury is still out on Roanoke. I need to give that one another chance.

#13: If you could choose a season theme, what would you choose? (Ex: Ghost Town, Brothel, etc.)

I would like to see a season where the characters are on a road trip or out in the wild. Serial Killer, Wolf Creek kind of thing. I think to really isolate the cast of characters like they'd tried to in 1984 would be cool!

#26: If you could be in any season, which season would you be in?

Thanks for your ask! Sorry for the lateness! 

saturday: what gets you excited whilst writing?

Seeing everything connect and come together. I tend to write in snippets and then just go back and fill everything in and add stuff to it. So in the end, it’s always nice to see the finished product come alive. 

october: name the darkest or angstiest fic you have written and/or posted?

My darkest/angstiest fic would have to be for the Roswell fandom, Paradise! It was dark...angsiest...mean...hopeful...and everything it could have been but wasn’t. I don’y know if i’ll ever finish it, but if you want to go into the abyss go ahead. 

yesterday: favourite way to write angst?

Thanks for your ask!

13. What is your favorite fanfic trope?

Oh, more like tropes! I like slow burn, pining, friends to lover, enemies to lover or to friends...and there's more but I can't think of them at the moment.

14. What kind of plotline are you always here for?

My favorite plotline that I love that's recently popped up in the Stranger things fandom since s3, is where Robin and Steve are platonic soulmates who beard for one another...or are so close that Jonathan and Nancy believe that they are dating and pine away for Steve from afar. It's my bread and butter.

I even have a few in my fanfic recs list for that fandom!

23. What do you wish more fic authors would do?

Thanks for the ask!

7. Share a snippet from one of your favorite prose you've written and explain why you're proud of it?

Not really a snippet, but I guess my proudness prose comes from my AoS fic, Intro!

I guess I love it so much...because it was the first time I had really explored Fitzsimmons without Daisy there in any shape or form. It was a reevaluation of their relationship and their relationship with Daisy. It's completely unrrated and was done entirely for me...and that's why I love this fic...and especially this scene\paragraph.

Jemma chuckled a bit at that, hugging him closer. Her long brown hair brushing against his forehead with the quick movement. “Not in this era…and besides, I had my forever with you although short…I’ve felt that overwhelming sense of being claimed by you in that way but Daisy hasn’t…and I don’t think just our love and inclusion into our relationship is enough for her anymore. We’ve changed, Fitz…and I know it’s not enough for you either.” 

Fitz breathed in deep, closing his eyes against the overload of emotions trying to take over him. “Jemma…” he choked out. 

“Because I know it’s not enough for me…and we’re the same, Fitz. I can’t settle for just for being ‘Fitzsimmons’! I know that we are better than the label that we’ve been stuck with for years! I want to be Daisy, Jemma, and Fitz in whatever way we can, together or not…but I can’t just be ‘Fitzsimmons’ anymore and I’m sorry if that hurts you, but it’s killing me trying to fit into what we’ve evolved from…”

“It’s killing me too, Jemma…”

“So change it…”

11. Is writing your passion or just a fun hobby?

Oh, 100% a passion. I've always loved writing...had to work very hard at it, especially since I was told I'd never pass past a 3rd grade reading/writing level.

It's always been something I've wanted to pursue professionally. Combine the two things I love dearly. Movies and Writing...become a screenplay writer. So it's definitely a passion of mine.

15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would it be?

Most definitely Me and a Gun...especially since it was a missing scene from AHS 1984 to begin with. I knew it wasn't going to happen in canon, so I wrote what I wished for.

And to have that filmed would have been glorious.

To see a meaningful convo between two sweet (or what I thought were two sweet exs at the time) that explored a sensitive and unresolved rift between them in their past relationship...while I also worked out some personal things in my own life through Xavier's pain and trauma. It would have been a dream to see that happen for real between two of my favorite characters...or two characters in general. It would have been so emotionally real.

31. Do you take liberties with canon or are you very strict about your fics being canon complaint?

Oh, heck no, I'm not strict about being canon compliant! Most, if not all, of my stories are AUs, Pre or Post Canon, or Canon divergent. I don't like the restrictions of being held within canon. It's messes with my creative flow if I can't take at least one liberty within my story and its characters.

Thanks for your ask! I'm sorry I'm getting to it so late!

5. Has a fandom ever ruined a pairing for you?

Yes, a show has almost ruined a pairing for me a few times...but the most recent-ish ones would have to Stiles/Lydia and Allison/Scott.

I am a die hard stydia shipper and it wasn't that I didn't love Scott/Allison together...it's just that I felt they meshed with other characters as well. Scott with Kira, Stiles with Malia, Allison with Issac and Lydia actually on her own.

They grew and evolved at a greater and much better pace when they weren't together...or as was stydia's case playing 'Will they or Won't they?'.

And then par the course, Jeff Davis ruined that too.

6. Has a fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?

Oh, yes, once again a few times...but I really adored Stiles/Malia from Teen Wolf, even thought I still don't entirely liked how they got together.

It was rushed and poorly done...as was 3b...but they settled a warm place in my heart as they further grew and developed.

They were sweet. They had a true give and take...she helped Stiles become a man and Stiles helped her to become human. They weren't through hell and back together.

They helped the other become better and who they couldn't have been without their relationship and love for one another...but Jeff Davis ruined that by having Stiles do Malia so dirty.

I won't get into it...but man, It made me question my love for Stiles for a bit.

27. Least shippable character?

I don't really have ones...even characters I hate, I can usually find some pairing for them that make sense or appeal to my toxic-loving relationships.

Hey! Thanks for the ask!

1.) Where do you typically get your ideas?

Anywhere. Nowhere. Music. Movies. Random ideas floating around in my head like crazy people who won't stop shouting at me until I appease them by writing what they want 😆

Can you tell how crazy I am?!

2.) When you're writing a new story, what is the one thing you need to know before you start?

It sounds crazy...but I need at minimum a song to base my fic off of or around...and for multi-chapters, I need at least an 8 song soundtrack. It helps me to set or find a tone to my story. The songs I pick are very important...and always have some meaning to the characters or story as a whole. So it's vital to me to have that as my work around.

5.) How do you know when a story is "done"?

It may sound corny...but when the characters tell me it is. When they've said all they need to say is when I'm done writing a story.

23.) How do you balance your characters in a ensemble story?

Oh, that's hard to answer.

I guess it depends on the story and the characters I'm writing for. For my upcoming bravtana story, it was easy. Brooke had to go first...her story starts everything and brings everything together...and the other of the trio follow suit in just as measured order.

That story had to be told in a certain order before I could do my own thing and free-for-all it.

But most of the time, a perfect balance in ensemble pieces are difficult for me. It isn't easy to find a perfect equilibrium for the beginning to the end. It's one of the main reasons I don't really do multi- chaps or multi-character pieces anymore unless an idea really strikes me and I know for certain I can't be told in only one to two chapters.
