Hello dear Iris, thank you for your ask. <3

5. How do you know when you’re finished writing a fic? At what point do you call it done?

It depends. I have some fics where I know the ending from the beginning and the rest of the fic is basically just the journey to that point. For other fics I usually figure it out during the writing process, but I think it's mostly a vibe thing for me, unless I should really have a very detailed, story-focused plan where I decide that the story I wanted to tell with it is over. But mostly it is part of the process for me.

8. Tell us your shortest and longest titles of all time.

I'm just going with my AO3 history here (let's ignore the sins of my youth please), so if we talk about only letters my shortest title is "The Call" but if we talk words it's "Shattered".

And the longest title so far is "Footsteps in the Rain" if I counted the letters correctly.

18. If you have noticed themes emerging in your writing, what are they? What broad themes and topics do you enjoy exploring?

This... is a very good question. Lately I've been concentrating on good vibes and fluff and unbelievably (for me) crack in my fics, but I actually prefer to explore dark topics. Complex relationships (romantic, friendships, family), toxic relationships, mental health topics, death and grief. The darkness in life and humans and how it influences the world around them. But I do like to have some light and hope in between even if it might be crushed in the end. Which reminds me that I really need to write more angst.

25. Someone you know outside of fandom has heard that you’re a writer. “I’d like to read something of yours!” they say with sincere enthusiasm. “Where can I find it?” What’s your answer?

Hi Iris! <3 Thanks for the ask!

14. Is there a word or phrase you intentionally use in every fic?

Not intentionally, no. Sometimes I notice when I've definitely written similar lines before (sometimes even within the same fic) and try to change things up. I do worry that at a certain point all of my fics will start sounding too samey.
