Ao3 tag game

Thanks @browney3dgirl6 for the tag! It’s taken me awhile to get to (required a good mood about my stats page), but here we go:

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

2. What’s your total Ao3 word count?

1,125,328

Yeah I had to copy/paste that one, that number was too much for my brain...

3. How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?

AK, Shameless, Stranger Things, TW, and VM

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Uneasy In This Skin

So Very Naked and So Unafraid

Magic Finds You

Like Magical Babies?

Shut Up and Kiss Me

(They’re all Sterek)

5. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

I’d say my angst always has a happy ending but probably the one where I killed off Mickey, but by the end Ian was dead too. Reunited in the afterlife kind of thing.

Blue Stained Glass

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?

They all have happy endings, but I’ll go with the Chipmunk Stiles Series just because it ended on a wedding night.

7. Do you write crossovers? If so, what is the craziest one you’ve written?

I wrote an AK/Shameless apocalypse crossover and then got cranky and took it down, but maybe someday it will be revisited. Crossovers are just too much of a niche crowd but I’ve been head-writing a Naked and Afraid mash-up mega crossover that’ll probably never hit the point of actual words, but maybe two other people would find wildly entertaining :)

8. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

But of course. Except it always ends up being smut with feelings so I never deny some good old fashioned love-making.

9. Do you respond to comments, why or why not?

Yes, unless it’s clearly someone just wanting to nit-pick then I delete and move on. Actual constructive criticism is welcomed. And positive feedback gets me high.

10. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

It’s a ritual in the Gallavich fandom.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

I don’t know if that’s a thing with Fanfic, but I’d hope if anyone ever wanted to steal a fic idea, they’d credit me in inspired by and write their own.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes. Waiting for the Boy that doesn’t Come Home was translated by the lovely Ayann

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yep, the first time was a cute little one-shot for VM with my wonderful friend and talented writer @charleylynn called Kiss Me At Midnight (If I was that kind of girl) and the second time was with my partner in sisterly bullshittery and crazy headcanons @ms-moonlight-inn for a Gallavich kid fic called Zero To Six

14. What’s your all time favorite ship?

I will respectfully ignore that question... it’s too hard to choose!

15. What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t ever think you will?

I have a collection of abandoned fics, and two that are hanging over my head but damn it! I will finish them some day!

16. What are your writing strengths?

Pssshht. All of it. Just all of it.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

There are no chinks in my armor. Yeah, no, there totally are. The list would be longer than my strengths if I made it myself, so I’ll pass on this one too.

18. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I’ve done it with the assistance of google translate so I’m sure some of the grammar is off, but polyglot! Derek needed to actually use the dialogue, when I had Mickey the tiger trainer speaking Ukrainian I just told the audience to pretend his dialogue was in Ukrainian because it would have been distracting in that instance and also, I would have gotten it very embarrassingly wrong.

19. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Shameless

20. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

I’m going to go with Uneasy In This Skin because it tested me. A lot. And I suppose that is how you grow as a writer, to test yourself!

I’m going to tag @ms-moonlight-inn, @fiamac, and @charleylynn but won’t be offended if you decide not to play :)
