oh fishy, I’m never uncomfortable talking about myself, especially after ¾ths of a bottle of pinot noir and a big-ass radler. 😂

11. How do you come up with your fic titles?

They come to me. And if they don’t come, I keep working at it, gently and patiently, because that’s how I roll.

I prefer to start writing a draft after I have a title (or at least a decent working title). I like my titles to be the center around which the theme of the story orbits, so it’s helpful for me to start with the title and proceed from there.

Titles tend to come to me either spontaneously, or after a loooong time thinking about what I want to say with the story until a title emerges from the muck. There is no middle ground.

Story time! When I first thought of the concept for The Sellout, I thought: Man, wouldn’t it be funny if I — who never met a trope I didn’t want to subvert — wrote a coffee shop AU, and it ended up being the most popular thing I’ve ever written? I should call it “The Sellout” — because I AM.

14. Do you have a personal word minimum that you hold yourself too? Why or why not?

I think stories should be as long as they need to be, and no longer.

That said, I pay attention to form. Elegiad is a bunch of one-shots, so I’d prefer to keep those around 3k to 5k. (Of course, the last few stories have been ~10k behemoths and I’m still cringing a little about it.)

The Sellout is a chapter fic that’s accidentally turned into a novel, and I’m trying hard to keep each chapter between 2k and 4k words.

My goal as a writer has always been to say a lot in a few words.

20. What’s your favorite part about the fanfiction writing process?

(Now we’re gettin’ frisky after the jump)

Hey hey! Did we skip a chapter? No! But I sure forgot to mention it here. So if you skip over to AO3 from here, guess what? Two chapters for you!

I know...I have one job...one job...

#will we see more of these in the future?

Funny thing about that fluffy li'l drabble I posted last night... There's a version of it with the same premise and discussion about planetary motion, but it's all sorts of angsty.

I didn't finish it because I realized these crazy kids are smiling in that drawing. It's interesting having both open side-by-side though, like seeing both sides of a parallel universe at the same time.

(I also have an incomplete drabble that shows Kass and Kyra meeting immediately after Kass washes ashore on Mykonos. Didn't finish that one because, well, as cute as 7 year olds are, our gals are 17 in the drawing.)
