May I pick two? Tuesday and Hours. :)

[binary_sunset]

Of course, you may!

Tuesday: Name a fic you've posted that you think is overrated

I actually don't really think any of my fics are overrated. Most of my most popular fics are for very small fandoms, so they're not that popular. And on top of that, I'm not a very well-known author. I really appreciate all the feedback that I get.

Hours: Longest WIP or completed fic

My longest WIP (which may be a dead fic at this point) is my Fantastic Beasts collab with the beautiful almostannette. It's a gradence vampire AU based loosely on Fright Night called A Piece of the Night.

My longest completed fic (which isn't a collab) is a kylux canon divergence fic called Under the Locks.

[luthienberen]

I also love and appreciate all the feedback I get :-) I feel you on small fandoms!
Do you think that there is more of a community feel with a small fandom? The smaller Sherlock Holmes fandoms (non-TV) I have found is fortunately quite nice community :D

Oh I like the sound of both of your fic. :D

[binary_sunset]

I like being in a smaller fandom, definitely. I feel like I tend to get lost in larger fandoms, and I like seeing the same usernames in my comments. And I've made a few friends that way as well!

Haha, thank you! I had loads of fun writing them!

[luthienberen]

I have had the same experience with small fandoms. I have made good friendships too in smaller ones.

I hope you continue having fun in the smaller fandoms you are in!

I look forward especially to reading your kylux one :D

[binary_sunset]

Aw, thank you! Let me know what you think when you read them!

april. ;p

[binary_sunset]

April: Have you ever written and/or posted crackfic?

It's been a while since I've written any crack fic lol. I love reading it, but it's not quite my speed. I think the closest thing I've written to crack recently is A Tale of Two Olivers. It's a Call Me By Your Name fic wherein Elio thirsts for biker!Oliver. And even then, that was adopted from almostannette.

Other than that the only one I could think of was... oh god, it was published on Fan Fiction.net

[rainydaysandmondays]

I have no idea what crack fic is, but it sounds cool.

[binary_sunset]

LOL, crackfic is, like, jokey fics with ridiculous premises. Here is a fanlore article about it!

[rainydaysandmondays]

Nice. I guess I used to write crack fics in hs.. lol

november!

[binary_sunset]

November: Do you have any rituals or requirements for getting in the mood for writing?

Requirements no. If I'm in the right mood, I can write anywhere (including the jewellery counter at work, but you didn't hear that from me).

But I have gotten into the habit of doing somethings to help my focus when my ADHD decides to rear its ugly head. Generally, I like lighting scented candles and saying a quick prayer to the muses (I'm a pagan) and throwing on some movie soundtracks. Sometimes it helps, sometimes my loss of focus is beyond repair, but it's always worth a try!

wednesday june

Wednesday: Name a fic which you have posted that you think is underrated.

I will forever be salty that my kylux Pokemon Go college AU, You Can Never Win But You Sure Can Try, took three years just to get 100 hits. I spent a lot of time on it and really enjoyed writing it, but I guess I posted it once the Pokemon Go craze had died down? I don't know, I guess it never clicked with people, but I still like it.

June: Have you ever written and/or posted marriage fic?

I'm not sure how much it counts, but my Assassin's Creed Odyssey fic Wedding Present takes place on a canon couple's wedding night. I also have a couple fics featuring characters who are married in canon. A Skywalker Family Seder features Leia and Han in an open marriage and my two Call Me By Your Name RPF fics, Don't Let It Fade Away and Three's a Crowd both include a substantial appearance from Armie Hammer's beautiful wife Elizabeth Chambers (who, for the record, is a public figure in her own right).
