I never do these, but I'm feeling yappy! #writersofbsky

I made a fanfic writer version of that artist ask thing going around :)
Feel free to use it if you want to!

15. A WIP that I have on the backburner that I really hope I'll be able to get back to one day is called "10 Feet High and Rising" and it's essentially a time loop/groundhog day fic where Harry is stuck replaying the events of Martinaise with all the foreknowledge of his prior "run".

And he discovers the ability to quicksave and reload.

Which goes terribly.

12. As with (almost) every fic writer, I LOVE comments. So much. But I also love when people leave little personal notes or tags on their bookmarks. Whenever I remember to check them I have a grand time.

5. I am obviously obsessed with Disco Elysium right now, but I wrote for The Elder Scrolls almost exclusively for nearly 5 years straight. 😵‍💫 I miss my stories and my OCs, but I don't miss that fandom at all.

4. The very first fanfic I wrote and published was for Yu Yu Hakusho in 2004 LOL. I had a big fat crush on Hiei and wrote a self-insert Super Speshul Demon OC that he fell in love with.

3. I've been writing for like.... God. I think I wrote my first "story" when I was 9, and the I wrote my first fanfic when I was 13. So I've been writing fanfic for a little over 20 years. I've always loved creative writing, but I started actively trying to improve 6 years ago.

2. I use Google Docs pretty exclusively! But when the writing block is bad, I write by hand in one of my hundreds of random journals lol. Then transpose into docs. (It's a neat hack that forces me to slow down and think about what I'm writing).

1. My AO3 name (thanatopsiturvy) is a portmanteau of 'thanatopsis' and 'topsy turvy'. I go by Topsy in most online places because of this.

18?(I really want to know this XD.)

It totally depends! Usually silence. I can't really listen to music and write, especially if it has words. But I like to write to the Disco Elysium soundtrack sometimes. But if I really need to focus, I'll turn on white noise. 😅

Haha,I have the same feeling, it's hard to concentrate when listening to music for me too. I usually don't write, and occasionally I don't listen to anything when I write a few times. But I have to admit that some songs can inspire !

Hahahah this sent me through my entire AO3 catalogue of 45 fics (and rising), and I think some honorable mentions are “A Perfunctory Blowjob”, “Apotheosis”, “Sad Elf Blanket Fort”, and “Exceptionally Horny Individuals”.

Dying to know 17!

LOL oh god hmmm... Well, I think a lack of formatting is really what will stop me in my tracks from reading a fic. Like, please. Please just press enter. Give me paragraphs.
I used to be way pickier in my old fandom, but I read fanfic for the passion these days, not the perfection.
