What is your total word count on AO3?

109 062 words (75 fics). I started writing them around the end of last year’s October, so not bad at all if I do say so myself lmao (especially since this is missing all the domestic fluff prompts that would add like 10k).

How often do you write?

Is just “often” an acceptable answer? I don’t really have a schedule but if I don’t do any writing for a week, something is seriously wrong lol. If I really get the writing juices going on, I can easily clock a few thousand words a day, though it usually tends to fluctuate a lot depending on what I’m working on.

Do you have a routine for writing?

I have water and music (usually variations of rock) ready and then I just start writing (if I’m editing, there’s no music since it tends to distract me). With fics I usually just write them on one sitting since they’re so short but with anything longer, I tend to write for 25 minutes non-stop and then do a 5-10 min break. Very effective, especially if I’m aiming to write 6-10k in a single day.

What are your favourite kinks/tropes/pairing?

Kinks:

dom/sub & femdom: I practically live and breathe this stuff lmao. The dynamics of having someone be in control and someone else submitting is absolutely thrilling.

Tropes:

alpha/omega: I think this could be compared to junk food. It’s absolutely sinful and so good but having too much of it becomes overwhelming which is why I haven’t written it that much. I absolutely love its dynamics though (that are, surprise surprise, similar to the above).

Pairing:

Natjana/Quinn: Femdom for the win lmao. But more seriously, even though I love the dynamics, I also love the chemistry so much. They’re the couple who will always love and cherish each other, no matter what happens.

Inibri/Harkun: This has some similarities with above (like the dom/sub aspect duh) but it’s definitely darker. Neither of these characters could really be considered nice or even likable but here they are, together and completely wrecking me.

Do you have a favourite fic of yours?

Nothing specific pops into mind at the moment, though I have a special soft spot for all the smut I have written ;).

Your fic with the most kudos?

The Hux/Reader smut, To Have A Little Fun, though considering that fandom is quite a bit larger than swtor, it’s not a surprise lol. If I leave that out, then it’s Showing His Desire For You (smutty Marr/Reader).

…I’m not sure if the universe is trying to tell me that I’m good with smut or if people are just thirsty as fuck for it lmao.

Anything you don’t like about your writing?

Eeeh, I’m mostly happy with my writing. Sometimes I wished I had the patience to edit some pieces more but at the end of the day, I’m just happy to move onto the next one. Oh, I also sometimes hope that I would write longer fics but then I remember that’s not worth the effort lol (kudos to those who write longer fics though, I respect the shit out of you).

Now something you do like?

I enjoy my smut a lot, even though I never imagined I would consider myself a smut writer some day when I started writing. But here I am now, so goddamn proud to make yall hot and bothered lmao.

I also like the style I’m writing in and how much I have improved. English is not my first language and I used to be not comfortable in writing anything longer with it, but now my opinion has changed. Yeah, I still make mistakes, especially since my editing is usually quick when it comes to fics, but I’m glad to say that I’m actually confident in my writing now.

Saying that makes me strangely emotional because fucking hell. I have loved writing all my life but now I have actual, proper confidence in it with knowledge to back me up too. I fucking love my writing. I love the fact that I can form words into interesting sentences and make scenes and characters feel alive.

…I also love myself for having the patience to stick with writing through all these years. I’m so grateful to writing too because it has kept me alive and always made me feel better no matter how horrible I have felt. I love that it has allowed me to meet and get to know utterly wonderful and absolutely amazing people.
