if i am menace then you are an international fugitive.

😐 what embarrasses you most about your own writing?

uhhh...i am pretty embarrassed about my overall lack of following a plot because i think it is completely obvious and dramatically decreases the quality of writing

😈 is there anything you enjoy doing that you think your readers hate?

im not entirely sure? i think i am really bad for writing a bunch of short things with nsfw implications but no porn and that usually frustrates people loool

🤔 what is the hardest part of writing fic?

writing dialogue for pre existing characters for fucking sure. trying to fit my words into the cadence and tone that a person usually speaks in, or trying to adapt how a person normally speaks to fit my fic while also maintaining the reality of their character is...fucking difficult!! will graham i am looking at you

⏰️ do you spend more time reading fic, writing fic, or do you do both equally?

this changes depending on how busy i am but definitely this year i have been writing significantly more than i read which is mostly because i have been writing after work and i usually write until there is something else i have to do like prior plans that i have so i dont get the chance to read. on weekends i def read more fic but i usually also like to take the oppprtunity while im not working to do more writing so...self imposed deadlines r a bitch

🖊 post a snippet from a current WIP

"I don’t believe that the words criminal and victim can’t apply to one person at the same time. Do we not sympathise with our mentally ill who commit crimes? Or criminals in the name of God? There are no circumstances which can be entirely without exception.” Will frowns, finding more and more that the riddles they speak in encapsulate him, reaching into him further than could reasonably be considered comfortable.

“If you talk to God, you are praying; if God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist; if you talk to the dead, you are a schizophrenic.” Lecter recites. “There is a common variable in that no matter what actions we take, which overgrown or crowded paths we let ourselves walk down, there is always a reflection of ourselves to be found at the end of the road. You are accustomed to smashing the mirror in which you see your reflection. Thomas Szasz was perhaps more sympathetic to your plight than most of the owners of your judgement, and even yourself.”

“My plight, Doctor?”

Lecter allows himself that almost-smirk again, the one which holds the promise of something disastrous. “Do you consider yourself to be a victim? Or just a criminal?”

An awful silence looms.

🍰 name one of your fave comfort fics (doesnt have to be your all time fave)

i know this question asks for one, BUT...here is three.

back in 20...something. i read a lot of fleurdeliser and tuesdaysgone (and still do) and Your Heart Turns Out The Lights was such a comfort fic for me, so it is definitely still the fic i reach for now, only it is nostalgia tinged now

my comfort hannibal fic is A Past of Plank and Nail by...uhm. this fic/(s) is so dear to me (and given that ry recommended it to me...stop looking so smug rn, lescoe) anyway i love these authors if u coudlnt tell

my comfort misc fic is Don't quit your day job ( I already told you this shit is way illegal) by Melliebae which is, of course, a new addition because i only watched yuri on ice recently (take that look off ur fucking face lescoe) and it is also a very new fic but i have read it so many times because it is just so good and i love yuri and otabeck so much

✨️ choose three adjectives to complement your own writing

ur so mean this is so difficult :(

detailed, consistent, visual

📝 what is one growth area you have for your own writing

WELL. asking this as the guy who edits and/or reads all of my fic (thx bestie my biggest fan) is a dick move!!! just kidding but this is relevant to my most recent and dedicated wip -

1 / yes, because my taste is impeccable and i never have any bad takes

2 / i would risk it all for a dilf [upon seeing any picture or mads, hearing mads' name, watching something with mads in it, discussing hard limits that do not exist if mads is the dilf in question]

3 / sigdsf - this one i will not provide context for unfortunately but. if you know you know

4 / as the justin...

omg i'm so honored....[listening to it rn and ur so right the hannigram vibes are off the charts...] and triangles disguised as rectangles...very inchresting

s1: curiosity+awe

s2: brazen [bold and without shame]
