terabient: A blob monster covers its mouth (Blazblue: Arakune speechless)
Saw this meme over on Pillowfort and decided to fill it out. Lately I've been stuck in a rut where I want to write but don't actually DO it; I'm trying to self-motivate by reminding myself that writing is, in fact, a thing i'm capable of.

1) How many works do you have on AO3?
After all these years....16, orz

2) What's your total AO3 word count?
35,018

3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
On AO3? Blazblue, Ninja Gaiden/Dead or Alive, Resonance of Fate, Ghost in the Shell, Left 4 Dead, Persona 4/Q, Soulcalibur, and Star Wars; eight total. There's a lot of drabble-length and microfic floating around livejournal/dreamwidth and old kink memes but i'm too lazy to try rounding them up at this point.


4) What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Accidental Bliss (Persona Q, P4 Protag/P3 Protag)
these vices are my service (Persona 4, Adachi/Yu)
Merger (Ghost in the Shell, Hacker/Makoto, NON-CON)
Stain Your Hands With My Blood (Soulcalibur, Raphael/Siegfried)
Play the Angel (Blazblue, Tsubaki/Noel)

5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
I am horribly inconsistent about replying--honestly, i'm horribly inconsistent about even *reading* comments in the first place, mostly due to anxiety. I've been trying to chip away at this particular habit but there's still like, a 50% chance I will deal with a comment by pretending it doesn't exist.

6) What's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending?
i think all but 3 of my fics are angsty so not sure what to pick....

8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you've written?
no

9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?
no, but i did have one reader complain about a lack of pussy eating in a femslash fic which honestly is a valid complaint.

10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
yes, the...uh...uncomfortable kind?

11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
no

12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
no. i did have someone draw a whole comic from one of my first fics (back when fanfiction.net was the only major fic archive) which is....not at all the same, but pretty neat, right?

13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
no

14) What's your all time favorite ship?
I keep going back to Raphael/Siegfried so i guess this rarepair that pretty much only i write is The One

15) What's a WIP that you want to finish but don't think you ever will?
all of my WIPs are things i no longer want to finish due to lost interest. That's kinda why they're WIPs in the first place (the 2nd place is that most of what i write is microfic one-shots). WHOOPS

16) What are your writing strengths?
I think i'm pretty decent at conveying internal conflicts/mixed emotions and describing tactile sensations.

17) What are your writing weaknesses?
the actual act of sitting down and putting words down orz

18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
I think it's difficult to do well, and very easy to fuck up and break immersion, so I avoid it. If the character in question has a habit of using more than one language in their canon dialogue I use that as a guide, but I think adding phrases that a multilingual character *doesn't* use in canon is ahh...not a great idea?

19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Skies of Arcadia, back when I was still in high school. I used to ask my friends to read/review it at lunch lol :')

20) What's your favorite fic you've written?
I'm actually pretty happy with how Accidental Bliss turned out. Like, I wish I could write more unabashedly PWP fic lol. I'm usually dissatisfied with my """serious""" fic after writing it.
terabient: Makoto Yuuki listening to his MP3 player (P3M: Makoto Yuuki)
I've been cleaning up my A03 profile, summaries, and content tags, and I'm having a hard time tagging my M-rated fic. I'm generally someone who under-tags, as I've always felt that having too many tags is frustrating to readers. But undertagging means a reader has less control when it comes to content they want to avoid, so I'm trying to find a happy medium between over- and undertagging. Help me out, flist?

Related, how useful do you find style tags--"present tense" "drabble format" "second-person POV" etc? Is it something you appreciate when provided, or do you not notice/ignore it?

anyway, meme time.

Taken from tumblr: For ten days, I post an image from a video game that has impacted me without a single explanation and nominate somebody to take the challenge.

Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future


i've never beaten this game, or any Ecco game for that matter, despite playing all of them. okay, not Ecco Junior.

today's tag: [personal profile] rutato who i don't think visits here anymore, but 🤷
terabient: Pixel-fied Thor and Loki on the Rainbow Bridge (Marvel: Thor & Loki nyan~)
Seeing as it's officially winter in the Northern Hemisphere, have some frost flowers! [source]



And now for something completely different: a fandom year-end review.

Cut because it's not as interesting as frost flowers :P )
terabient: Noel smiling while wearing her NOL uniform and cloak (Blazblue: Noel portrait)
that's a clumsy title, isn't it?

So! Here is a list of all the stockings at [community profile] fandom_stocking that include anime, manga, kdrama/jdrama and/or video game fandoms. I hope this list will help people discover stockings that they might have passed over. :]

Please let me know if:

-Your stocking has an anime/manga/k-or-jdrama/video game fandom, and isn't listed here
-Your stocking is listed but is missing an anime/manga/k-or-jdrama/game fandom
-Anything that needs fixing (broken links, spelling, etc.)

Also, as many of these fandoms are tiny, feel free to recommend/promote/squee about your fandoms in the comments! (Because really, I haven't seen or played a lot of these titles but they sound fascinating.)

The list! )
