Thank you @wolfstarhq and @mirgaxus for tagging me (just like in the old days!)

What is your total posted word count on AO3? (Go to your Works, then click Statistics.)

31176

How often do you write?

As you can see from the previous question, not often. I tend to write a section once in a week or two, unless I’m really into the story. But in the last year I didn’t write much.

Do you have a routine for writing?

Nope. It’s all inspiration and flow.

What’s your favorite kinks/tropes/pairing?

Can I even remember my kinks? I haven’t been in the mood to write smut. Exhibitionism, for sure, especially with masturbation. Spitroasting, but that hasn’t seen the light of day yet. Nah, who am I kidding, my favorite kinks are communication and good consent.

As for tropes, idk, what counts as a trope? I write a lot of get together fic, casual friendly sex, some obliviousness. My favorite trope to read is extreme thirst, especially when expressed in very excited memespeak. 

For pairing I was going to say Wolfstar, bc duh, but actually maybe it’s Remus/Happy Friendly Sex. Including with Sirius, of course. I’ve been on a kick of reading Victuuri for months now, but I don’t really feel the need to write it.

Do you have a favorite fic of yours?

Always and forever, The Joy of Not-Sex. 

Your fic with the most kudos?

Also The Joy of Not-Sex. 

Anything you don’t like about your writing?

My vocabulary is rather poor, I think. I’m not into wild use of synonyms, but sometimes there are words I could use that would be more precise, and they just don’t come to mind while I’m writing. 

Now something you do like.

I like my dialogue a lot.

Oops! I meant number 3 sorry but you can do number 2 as well!! Sorry : ) 

No no, I’ll gladly avoid number 2.

3. In your opinion, what’s your best fic?

So far, The Joy of Not-Sex. It has had the most impact on individual people, which for me determines value far more than style. Writing-wise, well, that one’s not done yet. I hope the rest of it measures up to what I have so far, because it’s so good.

50. Has writing fanfic had a significant impact on your life? Would you say it’s entirely positive?

Yes, and yes??? I mean I suppose technically I could have bonded with my writing buddies over their fics if I hadn’t written any myself, but it def helped. I made true friends through fanfiction and they’re the best. I was never this close to anyone I met in fandom before I started writing.

Also I think all creation is great for self-confidence, which I often lack. It’s especially true in the case of fics like The Joy of Not-Sex because it’s a form of activism. Trying to make a change in the world is always a positive thing for me, and I’m very glad I found a way to do it that is less stressful than the blogging I used to do and other forms of more direct debate which I haven’t had the mental health for in a while.

Also there was realizing I was arospec through reading my own fic and noticing all the arospec thoughts and feelings I gave my characters and how what I consider a happy ending is not really the classic romantic happy ending.
