111k. 70k if you don’t count the aot incorrect quotes which i don’t feel like is really writing writing. But holy shit?? Thats so much hello… You could make a novel out of my disjointed pieces of writing for an intellectual property which I don’t own and therefore am not allowed to publish…
3. Top 5 fics by Kudos
- Cuddle Time With The Morningstars
- Marley & Co Incorrect Quotes, A Collection
- Touching Base

4. What fandoms do you write for?
Ummm tma, atla, luciferTV, game of thrones, hitman, tlt? I want to add more. I need to add more.
5. Do you respond to comments?
Yeah, I try to because I’ve heard people say when they don’t see the author reply they assume the comments aren’t being read anyways and don’t comment. & I am an attention whore so… But otherwise, personnally I don’t really care if my own comments on other peoples fics don’t get replied to. And either way i read and reread and adore each and every one of my comments, but its just that making coherent replies to them is difficult and i feel like everyone would rather i be writing the fic instead. Idk lol xD
6. Angstiest ending?
I think it’s Going Out In A Bang. But then again i don’t really write much angst and especially angst that ends bad so… Its not much.
But it’s honest work!
7. Fic with the happiest ending?
… All of them?
8. Do you get hate?
Never did!
9. Do you write smut?
I have, but it’s not my comfort zone and not something that generally interests me too much so, not a lot
10. Do you write crossovers?
I loooove crossovers. I think my favorite kind though is when say, the mlp characters are thrown into the star wars universe -just the universe, not the universe with the original characters. Cause i feel like it’s always a bit awkward for me to write those completely different characters interacting, idk.
11. Ever had a fic stolen?
As far as I’m aware, no. But I don’t have a lil mama Beholding whispering in my ear so there are still things i don’t know out there
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Someone said they wanted to do it for me once but I haven’t heard back so, I suppose not!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Technically not a fic in the conventional sense of the term but I did taking the Crown with @unending-vigil , it was literary rp adapted to fic. That was pretty neat, he read over all of my many typos and I didnt even have to ask 🤣
14. All time favourite ship?
For now it’s jonelias as well 😌 But that sort of things tends to change a lot for me over a few years so, I guess we’ll see if i find new blorbos to occupy my every waking hour and a few of my asleep ones as well.
I’m more so very into platonic pairings usually, funnily enough. Guess those freaks be the exception.
15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Hopefully none of them? My momma didn’t raise no quitter okay. I will finish all of them or die trying.
… But reasonnably yeah theres a few of them I probably won’t finish finish because the format is such that you can always add more after (like the incorrect quotes thingiemajig)
16. Writing strengths?
I think I’m pretty good at elaborate and flowery descriptions! Setting up a vibe, you know? I also like overplanning everything and so I feel like my timelines are usually pretty coherent?
Oh, and NAMING FICS. It’s so fun its my favorite thing ever. 50% of the reason i finish fics is so i can see the number go up and 50% is because i want to see my beautiful titles appear on my page.
17. Writing weaknesses?
Let’s say none because lying to myself is the only way I won’t get buried by my own self doubt xD no but um, speed and editing maybe? My faulty executive functionning I guess? XD and maybeeee creating tension and suspense
18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?
Honestly? I don’t like it. There is in the end only a very small percentage of people for whom it will work (those who speak both languages) otherwise you’re just making your dialogue harder to read I feel like? And I also feel like there are a very few ways to make it actually work and fit well. “¡Hola amigos! Oh sorry I always forget to switch back” is not one of them. If the narrator doesn’t understand the language and we get to discover it alongside them (/as a fun lil easter egg) though I feel like it can sometimes be interesting.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Avatar the last airbender!
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
The beach jonelias one…. Unmatched i think
Sorry for anyone who reblogs after me i got. Wordy. Lol. Tagging i dontttttt know i can’t think of people umm @sparky-is-spiders and pitpat and anyone else pretty much no pressure though sorry if youve been tagged before okay bye now
Thank you for tagging me!! Answering this on the sideblog haha. For reasons that will probably become obvious shortly….
1. How many works on AO3?
Only two on my account, but counting the anonfics I actually have a grand total of eight :)
2. Total AO3 Word Count?
10,423!! Just broke the 10k two days ago actually which is very fun <3
3. Top 5 fics by Kudos
(Yeah I’m. Um. Not quite ready to post my noncon (and incest) fics on my main haha…)
4. What fandoms do you write for?
The Magnus Archives exclusively lol.
5. Do you respond to comments?
Eventually, yes!! It may take me a little while to get around to it tho.
6. Angstiest Ending?
Hmmmm. I don’t know if any of them are angsty, necessarily? In full, I mean. I suppose if it counts chapter two of Various and Sundry Ficlets (which is a full fic on its own). If not… idk. I’m sure I’ll get around to something Very Angsty eventually (I do) have a much longer joncon fic that just needs some good editing and cleanup…. (oh and the space illness au))
7. Fic with the Happiest Ending?
Hmmmm. Probably chapter 3 of VaSF lmao. If not I’m honestly tempted to say either Morning Indulgence of Afternoon Delight. Oh sure Jon ended those feeling Distressed, but Elias was having a great time and he’s the pov, so. <3
8. Do you get hate?
Not that I know of?
9. Do you write smut?
Do I!
(It’s basically the only thing I’ve been writing recently haha)
10. Do you write crossovers?
Not yet! I do have my Dredge TMA au, but I never got around to writing anything for it. Maybe one day…..
Oh shoot! My Wings of Fire/TMA crossover!! That was fun I gotta give it a go one day.
11. Ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
If so, I’m not aware of it, but I don’t think so.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
Not yet! I’m open to it, but I’m a little shy about asking haha.
14. All time favourite ship?
Jonelias, although Jonsasha is a very close second and I really need to do more with them….
15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Yes.
Okay okay. The Jonsasha time travel fic. I love it so much I adore it but it’s so incredibly ambitious with a lot of moving parts and it’s Very Very Intimidating. I’m so sorry my beloved I’m afraid you may be neglected in the basement forever :(
16. Writing strengths?
Not sure…. if I had to say, I think maybe I’d go with tone? I think I do pretty good with it.
17. Writing Weaknesses?
I cannot for the life of me sit down and Focus on a Project. Ever. Also Describing Environments. I honestly sometimes just kinda Forget, and when I do remember I just do the bare minimum a lot because it’s not very interesting to me.
18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?
I don’t think I really have any strong opinions on it?
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Probably Warrior Cats or Wings of Fire haha. Unless this is the first fandom I wrote for on Ao3, which would be TMA lmao.
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Probably Morning Indulgences haha. It’s by far the most polished out of all of them, although I have a soft spot for some of my tumblr fics that never made it to Ao3…
Tagging anybody who wants to do this!! <3<3<3<3
