No pressure!
ā¤ļø ā Do you like writing short fics or long fics?
Gosh this question! In theory I like short fics, but mine never stay short for very long. It is actually a huge running joke. I come up with a simple story that should be only a single chapter or a few, and then it evolves into this massive project with in-depth story lines, plot, characters, you name it. Next thing I know I have about 30 chapters manuscripted lol In the long run, I do enjoy writing longer fics more because I enjoy (and find it damn near impossible not to lol) worldbuilding and telling epic tales with epic stories and epic characters.
š¤© ā What led to your interest in the fandom?
This one makes me laugh. The short answer is āI like tall women who scare meā, but the longer answer is this: the Resident Evil universe has been with me for a long time in many aspects. I have a lot of good memories connected to it with family members of mine. However, I was mostly āon the outside looking inā at this time. What drew me to eventually become involved (ie. write/produce art) on a deeper level within the fandom was due to the creation of Lady Dimitrescuās character. Even though she is a villain in the game, something about her as a character felt so vibrant in a way that made me feel as though there were so many stories her character could tell or be apart of despite the original intent for it. When I entered the fandom (about a year after the gameās release) there were already so many amazing fics and artworks that I felt the need to contribute my own creative inner workings to the mix. So I began!
š ā Do you write for yourself, for others, or both?
Both, for sure. I like to tell stories I find interesting or that I would want to read, but I also enjoy writing stories that people can connect to and help them see or feel through another personās eyes. And of course, I also enjoy collaborating with other writers. For me, reading and writing is a way to live more than one life. If, in the process, that brings me closer to someone elseās story then I feel blessed to have created content for that has made an impact in some way.
š ā Is it easier to write angst or the write fluff?
I would argue personally it is much harder for me to write angst simply due to the plot elements that are required to make angst a successful literary tool. I find writing fluff comes a little easier to me because it feels āless involvedā if that makes any sense. Coming up with angsty plot lines or story ideas however, comes pretty easy to me too! I just find the execution of angst within a story to be more complicated, yet utterly decadent when done well!
