(hi!!! :) )

H: How would you describe your style?

ohh tough hmm. i think it kind of depends on the mood i’m in when i set myself down to write, and on the goal i’m trying to accomplish with my writing. sometimes my style leans very heavily into the poetic/borderline philosophical realm (like “hold my whisper in your lungs”), whereas other times my style is more straightforward, humorous, plot-focused, etc (“home depot catalog” or “and maybe i climbed it for you,” for instance)... plus i think the PoV i’m writing from has an immense impact, right down to the type of vocabulary used to describe a character’s surroundings. so i guess i would call my style... fluctuating? adaptive? idk. i’m super bad at figuring myself out so fdkgfjd i’m not the most reliable source for a description of my style

but i will say i love love love mood-setting when i write. i love writing in a way that paints a picture of a scene, that really captures a whole image and bottles it up into one or two paragraphs, so that you can understand everything about it, from the color of the sunlight to the sound of the breeze to the dimple on a cheek, etc... at least in my slightly longer fics, i always try to include at least one moment just wholly dedicated to immersing the reader in a vivid snapshot.

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

my guilty pleasure is definitely langst. i admittedly see elements of my own insecurities in lance, which is why i love him so much, and so i like seeing his weaknesses tested, his limits pushed, and his willpower brought low. seeing him hurt and fail is cathartic for me because it makes it all the more satisfying when he comes through on the other side and conquers all of that. it’s my way of living out my own fantasies, i suppose, of battling and overcoming similar difficulties in my own life. this is all dependent upon happy endings of course though--which are a must for me! i need a happy ending otherwise it’s not worth it imo.

oh, also--small guilty pleasure: lovebug fics/drunk fics/etc! just fics where they lose some or all of their inhibitions or whatever... idk what it is about that, but i just love it. i haven’t read anything like that in a while but i’m considering writing a lovebug fic once i have a bit more free time on my hand (which, tbh, with school and zines i’m not 100% sure when that will be). but if and when i do write it, i want it to be lance who gets bit because i neverrrr see fics where lance is the one bit and im!!! agh!!! i need it. so u know what they say, be the change you want to see in the world and all that.
