It Is No Longer Balanced.

20 questions for writers.

1: How many works do you have on AO3?

11, as of yet.

2: What's your total AO3 wordcount?

212,620. I have three WIPs that are swap AUs or other AUs that are rewrites of a show/manga's entire run, so it's gonna get even larger.

3: What fandoms do you write for?

Different ones. Demon Slayer and Fullmetal alchemist get the most attention, but there's also SCP, The Owl House, Alice and the Nightmare, and a couple others. How do you think I got a wordcount of 6 digits?

4: What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Cleaning off the Blood (Demon Slayer), Hallow Mind (The Owl House), The Bastard and the Naukara (Hellsing manga), The Jaws that bite, the Claws that Catch (Alice and the Nightmare), Soul Armor Alchemist (Fullmetal Alchemist).

Of course, that's with the kudos bot, so once you get rid of those, it goes,

Cleaning off the Blood, Hallow Mind, The Bastard and the Naukara, Soul Armor Alchemist, Happy Hotel (Hazbin Hotel),

So about the same.

5: Do you respond to comments?

Yeah. When I comment on other fics, I like it when the author replies to my comment, So when others comment on my fic, I reply to their comments.

6: What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

I generally don't like fics with bad endings, but I'm in the process of writing The Hodgson Expedition, a fic about the Hodgson expedition, which you find the remains of, literal and otherwise, while playing House of Ashes, a videogame about vampires and the Iraq war.

7: What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

It's unfinished right now, but Soul Armor Alchemist the same ending that the manga it's based off of has, so it'll have the happiest ending.

8: Do you get hate on fics?

A few bot comments. Thankfully, that's it.

9: Do you write smut fics?

As of yet, only one, Caramel Creme. It's got a lot of tongue play and caramel sauce, as you might expect.

10: Do you write crossovers?

No.

11: Have you ever had a fic stolen?

No. I think I'd be somewhere in between flattered and livid if that happened.

12: Have you ever had a fic translated?

No. Hablo un poco de Espanol, so I've floated the idea of translating my works myself, but that's a far off project if it ever happens.

13: Have you ever co-written a fic?

No. I can get territorial with my ideas, so I don't think that I would be a good writing partner.

14: What is your all time favorite ship?

This is why you don't multiship, kids- You can't answer Tumblr questions like these.

15: What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I don't have those, because if I don't finish a fic, the idea of it will rattle around in my head, faster and faster, like ricocheting bullets, until I give in and complete it or go mad.

16: What are your writing strengths?

I'm good at thinking ahead, so I can plan out a story well in advance.

17: What are your writing weaknesses?

I'm good at thinking ahead, which means I spend a bunch of time fantasizing about what something will look like instead of making it look like that.

18: Thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in fics?

I don't trust Google translate, y yo hablo Espanol, pero soy muy gringo, so I don't trust myself either. If I could, I might.

19: First Fandom you wrote for?

Demon Slayer.

20: Favorite fic you've written?

Cleaning off the Blood. It was horribly written when I started, because I was 14, but now, it's something I can be genuinely proud of.

Out of ALL the Sherlocks on screen, or that have been on screen, Sherlock in Elemementary will always be my favuroutie.

Look, I love Bendedryll Cucumber as much as the next person, and Robert Downy Junior was amazing, but have you watched my boy Jonny Lee Miller absolutely SLAY as Sherlock in a modern setting?

Jesus christ, this man single handedly made Sherlock a human. A real person with real issues, feelings and struggles.

All the others do this, but there's a sense of "other" given to him in everything else.

Sure, Elementary kind of does that, but not to the extent that the others do. Sherlock here gets growth and development, and soon you grow to realize that he isn't "other", he is just different and has alot of shit to deal with.

It's just so good.

Yes, you saw what you saw.

Yes, you saw what you saw. Yes, he did what you thought he did. Yes, they aired that with their whole chest.

The next thing they will do is deny that it happened. (you saw wrong, it wasn't what you thought it was, etc) After that they will try to downplay it (it was a joke, he didn't mean it like that, it's a "roman salute," etc) They will try to claim it was the work of AI. (its a deep fake, it's a smear campaign, it's hate speech, etc) They will do everything they can to sweep it aside. Then they will try to bury it. Then they will distract you with meaningless bullshit.

Do not fall for it. Do not believe it. Do not be gaslit.

You saw what you saw. He did what he did. And we need to make sure that we do not forget.

Remember earlier this year when Boeing very clearly had a whistleblower executed? And law enforcement didn't even look for anyone or release any info about it or anything?

People keep comparing Luigi Mangione's case to the subway murderer who got off because of systemic eugenics, but I think there's something more apt about the fact that a CEO had someone executed in recent memory, with zero attempts to find a culprit, while they spared no expense at all to find (and probably frame, it's beginning to look like) someone who shot a CEO. It's always fine to slaughter if you're rich, but if you kill the rich, they will hunt you down.

something interesting is happening
