1. How many fics have you written?
Under this name and only counting published ones, 22 or 23 if you count a one-line fic a fic.

2. Average length of your fics
Around 2.5k which is about right! I don't know how to write long fics. LPAYS was an anomaly, and I don't know how it happened or how I was able to write it.

3. Favorite trope to write
I don't think I've written enough "tropey" tropes to have a favorite unless "pining" or "angst with a happy or open but hopeful ending" count?

4. Favorite part of writing
When it clicks and the words come pouring out as fast as I type them. That feeling when I have the right words and everything else falls to the wayside. When I feel like it unlocks some truth inside me or I uncover truth.

5. Easiest part of writing
Finding the rhythm. It has to follow a beat. I can't explain it, but I obsess over it and the flow of the words and sentences. That and describing surroundings

6. Writing pet peeves
Is this about my writing, the process, or other people's writing? The answer differs. For the process, it's when I can't find uninterrupted alone time and the right amount of quiet to concentrate. I also hate that I'm in a perpetual state of writer's block

7. Writing habits
I edit as I write. I'll literally read a fic dozens of times by the time I post it (even more if they're the first lines of the fic because I'll reread from the start up to the point I got up to). I go crazy with line edits, obsessing over unnoticeable changes

8. A line from a WIP
From the soulmate/soul bond fic:
“I guess congratulations are in order.” Sam shook his head, but he had a big grin on his face. “Of course it’d take half the universe dying for you two to bond.”

9. An idea for a fic you have
I want to write about how nothing is forever and moments are ephemeral, but that makes things more special for the
AU I'll write someday. I think this might be the fic I'll cram a lot of themes and issues into? Running out of space in this tweet

10. A favorite line from a fic
"Time was a precious currency, but he would spend it all on Steve if he could." - "No Promises During Wartime"
My current favorite is a section rather than one line, but what the hell, I'll add it. From "Mending Each Other and Calling It Love":

11. A favorite scene from a fic
I'm torn between the last scene of "Leaving Promises Against Your Skin" bc it's so powerful & what I was writing towards even before I started the fic & Steve & Tony's first 1-on-1 conversation (opposing POV on the significance of soulmate words)

12. Your most treasured fic
"Leaving Promises Against Your Skin." I didn't think I had it in me to write and it was such a challenge to write, but it was the most rewarding experience as a result. I'll never forget that high when I got close to the finish line. I teared up!

13. Methods when writing
I'm between an outliner and pantser. I almost always have to know the beginning and end and usually have a few scenes in mind that I note down, but I give myself room to improv. I come up with more ideas that way, but no plan = I go off on many tangents

14. Favorite character
If we're talking Marvel as that's what I mainly write and read, Steve and Tony equally. I know most people have a slight or solid preference of one over the other even if they love both, but I genuinely can't pick. They're both my favorite

15. Favorite title
I like almost all my titles! They all mean something. Maybe "Multitude of One"? It's kind of incorrect lol ("Multitude in One" or "Multiple of One" might have been better). There are many meanings & possibilities to Steve's phrase, but just 1 at the same time

16. Most used tag
"Angst."
Very on brand for me

17. Most used rating
General audience (20 or 21 including the one-line fic). Only two are teen! I'm too shy to write anything over that that's steamy, and I haven't written anything extra violent yet! But who knows. That could change
...probably not though

18. Something all your fics have
I don't know.
Um...they're all interior? Some are more than others, but I guess that's my thing... I do more introspective pieces than plotty stuff so you'll have characters just thinking and feelingggg a lot even if nothing happens lol

19. Most important part of writing
How happy it makes you! It can be miserable if it's not working, but it shouldn't make you feel angry, worthless, or ashamed. If you feel like that all the time, take a break. It should feel rewarding and you should derive joy from writing!

20. A fic that best represents you as an author
"Pyriscence." Post-IW?
Introspection? Angst? Reconciliation and forgiveness? Mutual pining? Hope in spite of grief? The value of and solace in companionship?
Also, I think this is 1 of my best written fics

Anddd I'm done! Since I got more than 20 likes, I'll either answer an extra question or elaborate on any of the answers in this thread for every extra like. @Missy_dee811, you were the 21st like, so you can pick!
