1 like = 1 answer? or you could reply with which ones you want me to answer maybe idk
1 - a title you agonised over - all of them??? i’m REALLY bad w titles... i either go through my Apple Music library or Gossip Girl episode titles lmfao (trust me they’re legit good!) i had a particularly bad time w my blogger AU, i spent 3 whole days trying to think of a title
2 - a title that came to you instantly - Anginal Equivalents. someone mentioned it on rounds and i instantly thought of wwx‘s special brand of “omg my chest hurts weirdly when i’m around lan zhan... lmfao i’m 24 this cant be a heart attack! jk... unless 😳” dumbassery
3. - a piece of music you write to - changes with every fic tbh? when i was writing my football AU i listened to a lot of troye sivan - “youth” in particular, still can’t listen to it without think of that fic, and for blogger AU it was a lot of nct 127 - love me now
4. a character you love writing - ofc both wwx and lwj, but also nhs... he’s been a side character in all my fics but he’s so fun and fascinating and i always end up wanting to explore him more ;_;
5. a character who is hard to write but rewarding - jiang cheng. he just has... so much going on i find it hard to get into his headspace enough to do him justice in a wangxian-focused fic, at least with the premises i’ve had so far. i‘d love to write smth jc centric some day tho
6. a character that’s taken over a story/scene - bb A-Yuan in my football fic! i’d never written kid fic before so i started off p worried about it but i surprised myself with how much i had fun with it... a lot of his scenes were just gratuitous cuteness ngl 😭 no regrets tho ✊🏼
7. a recurring concept in your fic that you like - uh lwj embarrassing himself in general for wwx lmao... i’m sorry but it’s so much fun djfjfj and vice versa too... also wwx doing something at the intersection of arts and tech because that’s just how i see him in modern AUs 😔
8. some trope/AU that you’d like to try but haven’t yet - i REALLY want to write a fantasy AU... idk what kind yet but i adore worldbuilding so i’d love to try it... also i’d like to write something canonverse at some point just bc i haven’t written that at all yet lol
9. a writing related skill you want to get better at - i want to write action sequences well... not that i’ve had to write that in a fic yet but i think a well done action sequence is an important skill to have
10. a writing related skill you know you’re good at - i think i’m decent at weaving plot threads together? also i think i’m pretty good at writing UST lmfao
11. a fic of yours you’d love to see illustrated - ahhh i’ve had so many wonderful pieces drawn based on my fics already by amazing artists i don’t want to ask for more but... maybe the cycling scene in my blogger AU, or locker room makeout in my football fic lmfao 😫
12. a fic of yours you can imagine being made into a tv/series - LOL ngl all of them? i tend to unconsciously structure my fics like a movie/drama... a lot of people have said that footie AU and blogger AU gave them the movie/drama feel as well and that makes me rly happy ;;
13. a fic of yours you’d cameo as a side character - i don’t really want to cameo in any of them lol but if i had to pick, def Anginal Equivalents... i can just picture myself fighting neurosurgeon!wwx at the ER over admitting an intracranial haemorrhage lmaooo
14. a fic of yours you’d like remixing - none really... if i had to choose maybe lwj pov of all my fics, or maybe something to do with influencer nhs from my blogger AU
15. a fic of someone else’s you’d like to try remixing - hmm even went through my ao3 bookmarks for this but none come to mind... if i really like a fic i don’t want to tarnish the perfection, and if it’s a concept or AU i like i’m just glad i didn’t have to write it myself lol
16. a fic of yours that took you out of your comfort zone - i guess the AI/fashion bits in my blogger AU lol... i love both fashion and tech but i’m not super knowledgeable about that specific niche, but what i’d read about it was very fascinating and i thought it rly fit wwx lol
17. a fic of someone else’s that made you want to try something new - ooh honestly i get that feeling about any AU that i find particularly original or creative... the first that come to mind are probaby the magical realism iwaoi and makoharu fics by tothemoon on ao3
18. a fic of yours that you’d like to revisit some day - UHH YES footballer lwj and wwx starting their life together w a-yuan... wwx and jyl kicking ass with their new line at fashion week... etc etc maybe someday but i have so many other things i want to write too 😭
19. a fic of someone else’s whose universe you want to write a fic in - again, none tbh... if it’s a universe i really love i wouldn’t want to taint the perfection lol i may take inspiration but that’s it!
20. a fic of someone else’s that you reread repeatedly: many of the fics by misscam, sarahyyy and pupeez4eva, and also the stevebucky fics ‘out of the dead land’ and ‘the thirteen letters’
21. a fic of yours you’d use to describe your writing in general - footie AU. i feel like it was a story i had wanted to write forever? i love writing slow burn and estranged childhood friends and pining and UST so that fic is like a starter pack for me lol
