10. Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

Quite a few, actually. Supernatural, Hannibal, The Witcher, even the Marvel Universe sometimes!

14. Who are your BroTPs?

TEEN SQUAD!!!! Best bros for LIFE! Also, I love Mumensai friendship. And Kingsai friendship. ALL THE FRIENDSHIPS!!

27. What do you hate more: Coming up with titles or writing summaries?

Summaries. Sure, titles are hard, but summaries are friggin’ impossible. I usually just shove in a vague description and consider it close enough. My ship is rare enough that most of my readers just take what they can get, heh. 

50. How did you get into reading or writing fanfiction?

I read the seventh Harry Potter fic and felt strongly dissatisfied. I went looking to see if there was more to it, stumbled onto fanfiction, never looked back. I’d written dumb little stories when I was younger, nothing worth publishing or sharing. I’ve even written a couple drabbles on kinkmemes under a different name. Put up a couple fics on livejournal with the expectation that they would never be seen and then never followed up. 

Years passed. 

I watch One Punch Man after hearing all these references about it. Start reading Saigenos. Find this one really good writer named @batneko. I keep reading the manga online and find myself really liking this Garou character, especially after seeing him empathize with monsters. 

I decide to go looking for fics about Garou - and who better to look into than that one really, really good writer whose works I’ve been bingeing? 

I read “Is Your Pet Licensed?” and Loved It. I went looking for more, read everything in the tag. It wasn’t hard, since the fics were in single digits then. And then I read “Thanksgiving With The Family” and there was this one bit -

"You turned your back on your multiple-generation yakuza family, to fight monsters in... a bike helmet and knee pads?"

"Yes."

Garou nearly dropped his tea from the surge of blood to his nether regions.

(From Batneko’s fic here -> http://archiveofourown.org/works/8701681)

-and I got this dumb idea. Like, what if Garou got all hot and bothered over Mumen being all heroic and noble and stuff? There was a sad lack of smut, but I’d never written that before, so I wasn’t sure I could pull it off. But there was only one Mature fic and no Explicit ones, and definitely nothing with my new headcanon of Garou’s Inconvenient Hero Fetish. 

And so I started writing Hero Diaries. 

And, well...

8. Bed sharing or roommates AU?

Roommates is already canon for one of my otps but I've written it for others. Still… bed sharing is Real Good.

12. Friends with benefits or secret dating?

Secret datingggggg

16. Describe your WIP that currently has the highest word count.

Yesssss never getting tired of these dudes

4) Who likes to walk around the house naked and who tells the other to go put some clothes on?

Ryuu is the nudist. At first Io tells him to get dressed "so he won't catch a cold", but in reality his place is plenty warm and he just gets distracted lmao. After they start staying over frequently enough or move in together and Io gets used to Ryuu just being Like That he doesn't bother scolding Ryuu unless he knows someone else is coming over. Ryuu clearly enjoys freedom, and it's not like the sight is unpleasant.

14) Who starts the hand holding? Who grabs the others butt? Who slides their arm around their waist? Who likes to put their fingers in the belt loops?

Ryuu in private and Io on public, both (but Ryuu first), both (but Io more often), I've been asked this before and I still can't imagine anything but a nerd in a cowboy stance.

26) Who kissed first?

It's like who confessed first, I could see it going either way depending on the scenario (don't ask for the scenarios I have one for every day of the year and then some).

Thank you

6 Has fandom ever made you enjoy a pairing you previously hated?Nope. There’s only a few ships in the boueibu fandom I don’t like and fandom didn’t change that.

8Have you received anon hate? What about?*Twice actually! First was early on when season 1 of Love was airing. Magical girl gatekeepers were prissy. ‘How dare you watch these white boys ruin the magical girl genre’ it was hate but also hilariously stupid. 

The other time it was more like ‘proper anon hate’ when someone messaged me and was upset that I didn’t like Yumoto and adored Ryuu instead.

17 Instead of XYZ happening, I would have made ABC happen…Instead of the sc leaving in LOVE sc 2, I’d have them stay and remove the major focus on Yumoto, Gora and Vepper. I’d make the season deal with the odd new dynamic that came now that the sc and dc try to be friends after Kinshiro and Atsushi became friends again. Focus on how Akoya felt cause he gained nothing of befriending the sc and was fine with conquering the earth.

Perhaps I’d have the new baddie try to recruit Akoya and give him time to think it over... so there’d be this awkward conflict and he’d know the new who is baddie making the monsters.

(This took me longer than expected because what is free time orz - but thanks, it’s a great title!)

This would be an Akorima fic, victorian-ish AU. 

Akoya is a gorgeous young nobleman who likes to celebrate his own beauty by hiring the most famous painters to portray him. As a result, he owns a huge collection of portaits. However, he’s never satisfied with them, because nobody seems to be able to properly capture his beauty (according to him, at least). 

One day, he hears of this young artist, Ibushi Arima, and decides to test his abilities. Ibushi’s execution is technically flawless and stunning, but Akoya is bothered by the fact that his portrait seems somehow void, like he had no personality. So he challenges Ibushi to paint him again and again, until he is satisfied with the result. 

This quickly turns into a game, in which Ibushi, who at first has seen only exterior beauty in Akoya, ends up being more and more intrigued with the nobleman, to the point of willingly disappointing him in order to see what will happen next and having a reason to stay at his side for longer. 

Akoya, on his part, is hurt by seeing how Ibushi can paint portraits of even the humblest people that burst with feelings and life, while his own always feel empty - this brings him to question himself, about what others might tink of him beyond his own beauty. He realizes that he does care about how Ibushi sees him and wishes he could see that he’s more than just an handsome face.

At some point, since the result never changes, Akoya decides to put an end to this game, because he realizes he’s in love with Ibushi but believes his feelings must be one-sided. So he pays Ibushi and sends him away.

Ibushi, who’s also fallen for Akoya in the meanwhile, but believes he has no chances with him given his humble status, goes away, leaving behind a portrait he has been secretely working on for this whole time. This paiting is different from the others, Akoya here shows a radiating smile while looking at the viewer, the colors are warm, and overall Akoya looks more alive and beautiful here than in any other painting of himthat has been done before.

Shaken with the discovery and with the possibilities it implies, Akoya writes to Ibushi, ordering him to come back to settle the matter (he insists he won’t have anybody else portraying him at this point). Ibushi mistakes Akoya’s request with a whim, and he replies that his job is done. In turn, Akoya believes that Ibushi’s last painting has nothing to do with the feelings Ibushi might have developed for him. 

Ibushi hears nothing from him in return, so he goes his own way, but is unable to forget Akoya and keeps sketching him again again. He also writes him a letter where he confesses his feelings, but he’s unable to send it, being too scared that it will be ignored or that Akoya will react badly.

At this point, Ibushi incurs some nasty event - he’s either robbed or has an accident (or both?) and he ends up in the care of some overly zealous elderly man (a humanized Wombat-san who MUST act for the sake of love?) who sees the letter and sketches and decides to send them to Akoya on behalf of the unconscious man he’s found - because, for all he knows, his lover might be worried.

Akoya receives the whole thing and, of course, hurries to Ibushi, to discover him almost healed and very embarrassed about the content of the letter. They confess their feelings for each other and Akoya brings him back with him, and they live happily ever after \o\

Mumen is a little starstruck when they first meet at Saitama’s apartment - King keeps to himself most of the time so it’s kind of like meeting a celebrity. Plus, he’s almost as strong as Saitama - maybe stronger. Once he gets over the hero worship, he enjoys watching King play games. Mumen’s never gotten into them much himself, because his eyesight was so terrible as a kid that they gave him headaches. Now that he’s older and can afford better glasses, he can appreciate them - and he’s very impressed by King’s skill. 

6. What's the last thing that you read that made you laugh?

Lots of fics make me laugh, but the last one i read that had me outright ugly laugh was this line from the Hannibal fic "fear and a cold day in hell" by azure_k_mello

14. Post a line of dialogue from one of your WIPs without context.

18. Do you have a fic reading/writing routine?

When words flow easy, i write as much as i can. Take a look at how quickly i churned out okko fanfic - i was writing a minimum of 500 per day. When the words don't come easy? I read. I read a lot. Like, open 20 tabs of fic and work through them one at a time.
