1 & 16 For The Fic Ask Game!

1 & 16 for the fic ask game!

Oh hmm, my favorite trope to write? That is so hard! But probably the battle couple. I love to write a pair that kick ass together. They were equals. Which leads into my second favorite which is the guard dog/ he can take care of himself, but why should he have to? Ugh... I had to look up a list of tropes because I don't think in tropes, I know I probably write a lot of tropes, but I am trope blind until someone points it out. As for 16, do I prefer co-writing or working by myself? My fanfiction history is a long and checkered past of entertaining myself with stories about the people or worlds I want to rotate in my mind, and also roleplaying (we each write from the perspective of a character) collaborative storytelling. I don't much do the second one anymore, so most of my fic is written alone but with pinging ideas off of a few trusted people. If I had the time and the right partner, I would do more collaborative storytelling roleplay. (Which is still fanfiction, I think?)

I am writing this. And uh... my wife has offered up her whistling skills, so I will have a soundtrack so to speak for the story. I am very excited about this.

I have been watching X-files to get the feel of certain parts of this story down. The title comes from a line from one of the episodes actually, it's so beautiful.

your freak-of-nature boyfriend that we locked up in a high security lab is loose in the fucking facility send help before he kills us all

Today I woke up feeling like I had a hangover. I did not drink alcohol or partake of an edible last night. Which means... I am too old to get four hours of sleep at this point in my life. Do I regret my life choices? Nope. I enjoyed the conversation I was having the story I was working on. Am I going to do it again? Not any time soon.

I am suddenly reminded of the best advice I ever heard for drawing realistic noses. Draw a dick on the person's face. That's it... I mean then you refine it into a nose, but boy did that change my perspective on noses.

Saw an Ao3 tag " Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian is a Manic Pixie Dead Boy" and read that to my wife. She said "So Dead Boy Detectives Crossover". And now... I think that may happen soon.

I was gonna ask 1 2 7 8 but since 1 is asked already

How about 2, 7, 8, 17

My least favorite trope to write... hmmm I am still learning tropes (like seriously, I know they exist and are a think, I just don't know the names of them all) probably miscommunication or the love was there but it didn't matter. I like reading it, but writing it makes me want to bite things (usually the characters who are miscommunicating, get your acts together LOL)

My favorite ship to write oh no... this changes so frequently. Currently enjoying writing MingXian for a healthy relationship, HanXian for a twisted story. I have written a lot of WangXian and got a little bored.

Least favorite ship to write, please don't make me write a straight relationship. LOL

My favorite au to write? Oh... oh no... I love Omegaverse for the mpreg and scenting and kinky sex... but I also love uh Royal Court dramas and stories with people who are animals (mythical mostly, Dragonji my beloved! Foxxian, darling!) And fix-its! And time travel! please don't make me choose?
