Ehehehehehehe, thank you friend, let's do it!

🖍Post Any sentence from your wip

Here you go, a sentence, utterly sans context, from my @deadbangdetectives big bang, which I've finally started writing on:

"Turning in place to take stock of his surroundings, Charles did his best to dredge up anything at all after that furtive glance, any indication of where he’d been trying to go and how he’d wound up wherever he was."

🤡How many Wips are you actively working on?

2. Go to your AO3 “Works” page, to the sidebar with all the filters, and click the drop-down arrow for “Additional Tags.” What are your top 3-5 most used tags? Do you think they accurately represent your writing habits?

okay well. it's transgender people all the way down.

Trans Female Character (29)

Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence (20)

Friendship (17)

Trans Character (16)

Trans Male Character (15)

these are the last three for fun, which also perfectly encapsulates what i've got going on IMO:

Polyamory (12)

Established Relationship (9)

Canonical Character Death (7)

26. Would you rather write a fic that had no dialogue or one that was only dialogue?

not an odd question at all!

it wouldn’t really, mainly because while jax exists and you will see him if you read early ronnie comics, he hasn’t been a part of the firestorm matrix and therefore you won’t see 1/2 of the arrowverse’s main firestorm duo doing Hijinks.

however!

if you’re interested in the lore behind firestorm and the idea of a new person entering the matrix, i recommend (in perhaps the first time i earnestly want a new reader to jump into a crossover event) the midway point of jason’s run, which is an infinite crisis tie in. (specifically, #20-22.) this explores the idea of jason and stein custom-creating themselves as a new firestorm and it’s very good. there’s a bit of deep lore that it might confuse you to lack but i think that since it immediately leads into one year later you should be able to read those issues as a quick one-off.

for ronnie and stein i would still recommend the issues i picked for ronnie on my reading list. arrowverse ronnie is… pretty different than his counterpart, so there aren’t many issues i can recommend to you where they’ll feel the same, but early firestorm content (especially after they move to pittsburgh) is definitely what DCTV based its versions of ronnie and stein on.

#1. My favorite fic of yours: Alive Together. And How Salient the Screaming Was. And No Such Survival Mechanisms. And... 🤣No, seriously, they're all spectacular! But I'd probably have to go with Alive Together, because I loved them being "alive together", and I loved the slow realization as to what was actually happening!! 💜

#5. A fic I haven't read yet from you, but I want to: Your Kissing Curse Continuity is in my Marked for Later!! (which is... absurdly long at the moment. But I will get to it!!)

Thank you so much!!!

Alive Together was a ton of fun to write, the encroaching Realization of it all was my favorite part! I think I'd have made it longer if I wrote it now, but I'm plenty happy with it as it is~

Helllloo thank you!

Ask me!

4. Do you save your 'cut scenes' from your fics? (Want to share one?)

I actually don't have any cut scenes, but I do have a cut line from my Star Wars fic that I can share

He was anger and sadness, and he was brute force and fragility, and he loved his dad so much he wanted to hug him and hold him close again, and he hated his dad so much he wanted to wring the man's neck and hit him full force with his cricket bat.

23. Do you post your fics on a schedule?

[Bonus: I love how much you can pack into your short fics, like How Salient the Screaming Was or Voices Underneath Hers!!]

For the Fanfic Author Asks!

Ooooo, thank you thank you! And extra thank you for the bonus, the short fics are fun because I don't have time to do a ton of exposition before I get to the juicy bits, they just are the juicy bits, so I have to make every word count!

17. Do you regularly discuss your fics, or do you keep most of the info to yourself before you start posting?

Not a ton, just with a couple of people - I like to keep up the surprise for when the fic finally goes up!

20. What made you start writing?

📚 do you ever read similar works while writing, or do you intentionally not read them?

and

🦉 give yourself a piece of writing advice

for the ask game!

I was thinking about my answers for most of my work day, thanks for sending these in!

📚 - Neither, actually! I'll read something with a cool idea, and I'll start thinking about how I would have done it, or what direction I would have gone with the starting premise, and let it spin itself out until I have an idea I want to write! Sometimes it's fairly similar, and the core premise will be nearly the same, but the details are different, but other times, all that's left is a single detail that I can trace back to the thing that inspired it, but everything else is wildly different.

I’m sorry I’m replying to this really late! I was trying to find your comment in either FFN or AO3, I didn’t think to search here *facepalm*
