deep fic writer asks: part 1
Mar. 2nd, 2023 10:56 pmHi again, Dreamwidth! It's been a minute! I've had a bunch of ideas for Dreamwidth posts over the past few weeks that I've wanted to write and not found time for - obviously I can still write them (none are particularly time-sensitive), but I really wanted to keep up my momentum from the Snowflake Challenge and not let my blog fall completely inactive now that January is over.
In my Fannish Goals for 2023 post I mentioned wanting to complete something called 'deep fic writer asks', which as the name implies, are a set of asks for fic writers that are meant to go deep (into things like fic writing motivations, successes, difficulties, writing process, etc.) I'm answering all of them for my own enjoyment, and in my goals post I mentioned that I was a little over halfway done. Well, it occurred to me that posting the answers in instalments was a pretty good idea because there's a lot of them, and my answers are pretty long, so even half of the responses still translates into me rambling for several thousand words (eheh).
Anyway, even though I've been writing them out of order I'd managed to finish almost all of the first half (questions 1-10), so this evening I sat down and wrote the last answer and brought the other responses up to date a bit, and here we are! This is my first set of answers for the deep fic writer asks. I have a lot more gaps in the second half, so I have no idea when I'll manage to complete that, but that makes it an even better idea to post these, since at least they won't get any more out of date while I'm trying to finish the others.
I've been pretty lax about putting cuts in my posts but this post definitely needs one, since I'm not subjecting anyone's feed to the length of this post 😅

1. what’s the fic you’re most proud of?
Of course this goes in with the hardest question straight off xD Genuinely, I’ve often imagined what my answer to this might be if I’m ever asked this, and it is impossible to pick just one. I have a lot of fics that I’m really proud of for different reasons, but thankfully I’m not honour-bound to just pick one fic, so here’s a list:( Keep reading... )
