#8 for @poetaureate.bsky.social - one day maybe I'll write a minimoni + yg sequel to untitled tentacle fic lol. otherwise I don't tend to want to write sequels (with the exception of the co-ed bangtan series) i'm usually fairly happy with the story/feel like it's done by the time i'm done publishing

#2 (yes i'm skipping around) for @seesawenthooz.borasky.social! I'm obviously mostly writing hobi these days, and he's one of my more comfy povs. he's good for plots bc he will avoid feelings so you can get to plot points, lol! otherwise I would like to right more yg or jm and explore them more

#28 for @jksgmeveryone.bsky.social my LEAST favourite thing about writing is that first 15 or so minutes when I'm not into it yet! Even when I want to write and I have time I sometimes to need to push through that to focus my attention. but even tho i know that's what's happening it still sucks!

#27 for @squishmish.bsky.social! I think this is probably like, pretty typical, but my favourite part of writing is when I'm working well, and the words are flowing and when i kind of-uncover connections between plot and character beats i didn't know were there? like surprise puzzle pieces that fit

Also if I get less than that I have pebbles for brains, which is also not great

Also with the level of physical activity they do!! I go for a run and it's immediately 7.5 or bust!!

#26 for @junejune07.bsky.social! I can write (and often do) with other people around - I love a coffee shop! However, I do feel a little awkward about writing smut fics in public - at a certain point I want to leave and finish them at home 😅

#25 for @caprikoya.bsky.social - other than writing, I spend a lot of my down time (when I'm not on social media) reading, cooking and baking, and I usually have a crossword going! I also do a lot of yoga, pilates, running, hiking, etc, and trying to learn handstands this year has taken some time!

#24 for @ninjaswearsneakers.bsky.social if i'm not feeling creative i usually try to rest, or sometimes focus on other things (physical activity, reading, getting outside, etc). generally i just take a break, tho - it's a hobby, so I don't NEED to write

#23 for @andallmyheart.bsky.social 3 keywords to describe my writing - I think I'm usually aiming for like; kinda impressionist, sensory, and maybe fragmented, when it comes to my dialogue? or sparse? Dunno if I achieve it, but I think that's were I'm aiming!!

#22 for @undeadrobins.bsky.social: I don't worry a lot about public reception? I want people to like what I write, ofc, and I really appreciate hearing people liked things, but I don't worry too much about if people will like a specific plot or character beat? I'm lucky that way, I think!!

(17 con't) I did edit Can't See the Sky more, because characters having lost memories really introduces a LOT of plot hole potential

#17 for @athelas81.bsky.social: talk about my writing and editing process... this also depends on the fic. i often BARELY edit, for shorter or smuttier things. I will edit longer things, but even then it's mostly just: write it, brief edit, post +

#16 for @damnjoon20.bsky.social: I like a coffee shop!! I do have a nice cozy at home office, but the issue with that is that I also work there which can deter me from writing there! My most consistent place is prob a coffee shop between my house and the local yoga studio i go to

#15 for @clarz.bsky.social: my favourite weather for writing depends on the location! at home rainy and snowy are GREAT, but I also love a coffee shop on a nice, sunny day! there is something about being cozy with a cup of tea and snow, though, so that probably wins out

#14 for @aliascelli.bsky.social: i get my inspiration from everywhere!! Combos of things - BTS lyrics or things they say are big ones, for character stuff, other stories for plot things sometimes, but it can be very random - 2seok witches started by wishing i could scrape a car window with magic!

#12 for @purpleubts07.bsky.social a trope i'm into: the first thing that pops into my head is omega/omega fic but I might still just be feeling the effects of @caprikoya.bsky.social's newest yoonjin, which i read last night, lol

#3 for @auguststarfall.bsky.social, feelings re: current wip: I like Clarity! I'm having the thing I always have with something I'm working on, which is that the plot is good but the pacing and prose could be better? but that's always how i feel - I usually like the pacing and prose more on a reread

#4 for @bangtanagan.bsky.social, a story idea i haven't written yet: I want to write yoonmin! I also kinda want to write, uh, near future scifi that is essentially climate fiction, but that's also intimidating (and like, emotionally charged), so maybe it will happen later?? or never?? tbd!
