oh fun!! 1 like = 1 answer i'll do this between hw/jk bday event things today
1. ao3 handle

y'all are never gonna believe this but i write under the name poppyseedheart on ao3
2. ships i write

i don't think there are any ships for the fandoms i write for that i wouldn't write honestly! i'm really interested in exploring various dynamics, it's not always about what i personally connect or don't connect with on a [scream] level (though that's fun too)
3. ships i read

similar to the above, there are so many. lately i've been really wanting to read more jin ships though (specifically jinmin & jinkook) and hopekook! branching out a little lol. but i'm open-minded and easily convinced so i like seeing what's out there
4. when i started writing

i started writing little stories and such around the age of 9, and started writing and publishing fic at 13 (i was so tiny god)
5. first fic i wrote

first-person kurt/blaine glee fic set at dalton with the most ABSURD flirting?? lucky for you all it's still online so here's an excerpt (it's SO embarrassing but also funny enough that i don't mind sharing lmao)
6. favorite fic i wrote

for this fandom it's still i want nothing stronger. though special shoutout to leah's corner which is over an hour of audio total, that was so much work and i'm proud of it. for past fandoms, i'm suuuper fond of the cr2 yasha character study i did
7. hardest fic i wrote

hmm for recent fics i think the forbidden namgi (the open wound, not the salt). there was a lot to balance with that one and the dynamic was a tricky one to nail since there were two timelines running in opposite directions
8. most research-intensive fic i wrote

the fake dating namjin that i haven't published yet to be honest!!!! i read non-profit tax law. that's love.

otherwise my upcoming mcd fest fic was pretty intensive in terms of mythology and geography?
9. fic that is most dear to me

aside from iwns, heartbreak: a duet. that fic is so so personal to me and on a meta level i really didn't think anyone would read it so the fact that anyone connected with it meant a whole lot
10. favorite trope to write

reconciliation/break-up make-up/person from your past. there's something so compelling to me about people redefining their relationship after time apart. people change! i love exploring that.
11. something i wouldn't write

infidelity. not my thing! and i generally don't like writing anything i wouldn't read
12. favorite scene i ever wrote

oooooh this was SO hard, there were a few that came to mind but idk that i have ever built a fic so fully around one particular moment as i did this one in the forbidden namgi.

why did we break up, hyung?
13. where i get inspiration from

this feels like such a hard question bc saying "everything" is deeply cliched. i guess trying to pick apart life in general. finding the root of really human emotions and impulses and shames and desires and putting the into new contexts.
14. hardest scene i ever wrote

the sex scene in i want nothing stronger, hands down. the one that made it to the final draft was attempt #3. writing sex is soooo hard for me and on top of that the scene had to be super careful and deft to get across what i wanted it to. was hard
15. favorite characterization i wrote

deep cut, but caduceus in my critical role campaign 2 dreamsharing fic! we had really just met him when i wrote that and while i don't think i got him /right/, i think i wrote a super interesting version of him that was tons of fun
https://twitter.com/poppyseedfic/status/1229280539435130881?s=20 16. a sequel you would write if you had the time

i just love this ficlet where hobi is a fic writer and jk is his biggest fan who points out that hoseok is maybe writing a bit about jin, i had fun w it and would love to come back to this verse
17. story i wanna write but i don't think people will enjoy reading

i love that this is phrased as if that would stop me from writing whatever i want
18. a line from a wip

"There’s an edge of a challenge in his voice, and thank god. The only way Namjoon will be able to do this is if he gets to feel a little righteous about it along the way."
19. a recent comment on a story that made me smile

@jia__yang left the SWEETEST KINDEST comment on my new namjalsey, i'm not gonna post it here but i will say i had to stop in the middle of replying to it because i got super emotional
20. a discontinued work i would have loved to finish

my critrole c2 beau/jester college au ;_____; oh my god y'all it was going to be so good and the 5k that exist is so. like damn someone should finish that!!

for bts it is Obviously my your hope fest attempt god
21. fic writers i admire

so many! here are just 3 for now

@vxmins_twt for their consistency, plotting skills, & love for writing
@gloomyfruit_ for clear & honest character arcs and explorations of hard topics
@almostsophie1 for delicacy, for the love that overflows her fics
22. a story i recommend

https://archiveofourown.org/works/20159656 

pressure of light by @timesuck2000 - this fic is 3k and it's vmin and i think about it SO much. i find vmin most fascinating when a narrative puts them at odds with each other and this fic... yeah. big rec from me!
& that's the thread! thank you for playing <3
