11. Are you partial to a certain character/pairing or are you more equal-opportunity? If you are partial to any character/pairing, why do you think that is?

I mean.... Lando is the obvious answer lol

He is incredibly endearing and you can see him talking to almost everyone, I find him extremely shippable and luckily a lot of people do too so I get lots of good food

15. What's your favorite AU that you've written?

this is tough, bc idk if you know this I have way too many damn au's 😭 but I would say maybe the summer job au Emmy let me adopt, bc I've really enjoyed the whumptober fics I've posted for it

25. What other websites or resources do you use most often when you write?

I wouldn't say specific websites or resources, but I do look things up when I'm writing to try and get some accuracy, I guess the f1 app could count since I use that for race results and the like

🍓 - how did you get into writing fanfiction?

I got very attached to the og avengers movie and decided there wasn't enough fic about Clint Barton so I started writing my own, they still exist on ff.net and there they shall remain to show what 13/14yo birb wrote like and boy am I glad how far I've come 😅

📚 - what's the last thing you wrote down in your notes app?

I don't write fic in my notes app so the last thing in there is my last workout which I am happy to share lol

but in the spirit of these being writing asks I'll share the last thing from my google docs too:

for some additional context, I first started posting on ao3 under this account on October 8th, 2023 :) (literally LOL'ing at 420 subscriptions bc I have the humor a teenage boy)

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

since I think just saying any comment is a cop out, I really love

a) when people pull out specific lines that really hit them

b) when they make an observation about character, especially if they've picked up on something I maybe did -but didn't do intentionally

c) when people ask questions about the characters! like follow up questions or about lore, etc. a lot of the time, especially with my larger works, you can find quite a bit of lore/worldbuilding/back story in the comment section!

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

when people don't know how to write dialogue correctly, particularly when they have more than one person talking in the same paragraph. it just makes me wanna scream "thats not how this works! that's not how any of this works!"

3. What's your favorite fic that you've written?

probably Koa, which was a gift fic for @f1-disaster-bi - it was fully inspired by her two fics in her party au, and all the talks we'd had about them and the world around that au, and it was a labour of love that I'm pretty proud of tbh

11. Do you have specific playlists for writing fics?

not really? I have a LOT of playlists and I am nearly always listening to music but I don't curate playlists for writing, I mainly listen to my floor time ceiling staring playlist atm though and it seems to be good for writing

27. Is there a fic you were nervous to post/share? Why?

all of them, idk if that's an impression I give off but I get a weird nervousness to post anything 😅
