20 questions for writers.
1: How many works do you have on AO3?
11, as of yet.
2: What's your total AO3 wordcount?
212,620. I have three WIPs that are swap AUs or other AUs that are rewrites of a show/manga's entire run, so it's gonna get even larger.
3: What fandoms do you write for?
Different ones. Demon Slayer and Fullmetal alchemist get the most attention, but there's also SCP, The Owl House, Alice and the Nightmare, and a couple others. How do you think I got a wordcount of 6 digits?
4: What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Cleaning off the Blood (Demon Slayer), Hallow Mind (The Owl House), The Bastard and the Naukara (Hellsing manga), The Jaws that bite, the Claws that Catch (Alice and the Nightmare), Soul Armor Alchemist (Fullmetal Alchemist).
Of course, that's with the kudos bot, so once you get rid of those, it goes,
Cleaning off the Blood, Hallow Mind, The Bastard and the Naukara, Soul Armor Alchemist, Happy Hotel (Hazbin Hotel),
So about the same.
5: Do you respond to comments?
Yeah. When I comment on other fics, I like it when the author replies to my comment, So when others comment on my fic, I reply to their comments.
6: What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
I generally don't like fics with bad endings, but I'm in the process of writing The Hodgson Expedition, a fic about the Hodgson expedition, which you find the remains of, literal and otherwise, while playing House of Ashes, a videogame about vampires and the Iraq war.
7: What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
It's unfinished right now, but Soul Armor Alchemist the same ending that the manga it's based off of has, so it'll have the happiest ending.
8: Do you get hate on fics?
A few bot comments. Thankfully, that's it.
9: Do you write smut fics?
As of yet, only one, Caramel Creme. It's got a lot of tongue play and caramel sauce, as you might expect.
10: Do you write crossovers?
No.
11: Have you ever had a fic stolen?
No. I think I'd be somewhere in between flattered and livid if that happened.
12: Have you ever had a fic translated?
No. Hablo un poco de Espanol, so I've floated the idea of translating my works myself, but that's a far off project if it ever happens.
13: Have you ever co-written a fic?
No. I can get territorial with my ideas, so I don't think that I would be a good writing partner.
14: What is your all time favorite ship?
This is why you don't multiship, kids- You can't answer Tumblr questions like these.
15: What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I don't have those, because if I don't finish a fic, the idea of it will rattle around in my head, faster and faster, like ricocheting bullets, until I give in and complete it or go mad.
16: What are your writing strengths?
I'm good at thinking ahead, so I can plan out a story well in advance.
17: What are your writing weaknesses?
I'm good at thinking ahead, which means I spend a bunch of time fantasizing about what something will look like instead of making it look like that.
18: Thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fics?
I don't trust Google translate, y yo hablo Espanol, pero soy muy gringo, so I don't trust myself either. If I could, I might.
19: First Fandom you wrote for?
Demon Slayer.
20: Favorite fic you've written?
Cleaning off the Blood. It was horribly written when I started, because I was 14, but now, it's something I can be genuinely proud of.

But don't hold them up too much, they have a lot of work to do.

I know most conspiracy theorists are right leaning, but those who aren’t are probably feeling real vindicated.
Hey y’all USA is fucked for the lgbtqia+ community
Can one of y’all come over and put me in your luggage and take me back with you? I swear I’ll be good and I’ll have my own snacks and won’t need a bathroom break.
Since I can't link things properly.
Royai AU: Roy stays blind post-Promised Day
Honestly I kinda wish this Au happened. Cool character development
I think there's something to be said that saying the words "Deny, Defend, Depose, you're next" to an insurance sales rep can get you arrested for 'threats of mass homicide' or whatever with a threat of 15 years in prison
But when I was a manager in a fast food restaurant I've had customers throw food at me, demand for my personal phone number with an added threat of "Well I'll just have to FIND it", customers charging past the front counter to physically intimidate me and my coworkers, screaming and swearing, demands to know what time I get out of work, demands to know when my manager would be at work as a threat, people sitting in their car waiting for me to finish closing because they were angry at me, causing me to stay in the office watching the camera waiting for them to drive away...
But none of those incidents are arrest-able offenses, not one, any time I called the cops on any customer I would just hear excuses like " "there isn't anything illegal about calling a restaurant", that nothing physical happened and therefore there's nothing they could do, to call back and let them know if anything else happens
Idk, just think it's A TEENY TINY BIT ODD
Cop in the news goes "words have consequences" as if people don't berate and threaten fast food and retail workers every day
Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.
Same on AO3. I try to publish something, either a new chapter or work, twice a month.
