If Gale had access to all modern music (not modern au, just regular canon Gale listening to Spotify somehow) what genres would he listen to?

My first thought was that he'd exclusively listen to musical theater songs lol

I think that Gale’s most listened-to song would probably be ASMR Gentle Rain Sounds for Sleep & Focus [12 HOURS]

I also for absolutely no reason think he’d be super into jazz. I think he’d appreciate the art of improvisation and compare it to his (former?) grasp on the weave and his ability to compose creatively (albeit within stylistic parameters. much like jazz. ya know)

as for ur point… yes absolutely. I think he’d def be into more classic musicals (he’d go ape for like. singing in the rain and anything goes) and I can picture him humming a lil tune to himself on his way to the library

Hi, I hope you’re doing well! I was wondering if you ever wrote part 2 of the Chris/dustin fic? It’s honestly my fave. I think about it all the time haha

omg omg… thank u so much for this ask. honestly like half of that is written and has been for a couple years now. not gonna lie I totally considered shelving it bc I convinced myself that no one wanted to read it BUT I did revisit it earlier this year and tack 1k onto it just for fun and laughs. you know what anon. i’ll give it another look just for you

hi queen luv you, for the fic writer questions, if you're still answerin' 😈 24, 26, 65

HI QUEEN LUV U MORE 🫶

24. Worst writing advice anyone ever gave you?

My ELA teacher in middle school encouraged creative writing, but actively and vocally discouraged her students from reading and writing fanfiction, which is unfortunately pretty common :/ Listen. Were the One Direction imagines I consumed particularly well-crafted literature? I wouldn’t say so. But those in combination with the published books I was reading gave me a sense that writing was an approachable hobby as a beginner—and that was enough to get me started. Hopefully she has since adopted the attitude of most people in the literary world of “Heavily policing the ‘quality’ of what kids read is bad, actually.”

26. Which of your fics would you call your wildest ride?

Probably sanguine/decathect if only because I used to be a very passive fic poster and not be super involved in fandom spaces, but everyone has been SO nice about those that I was encouraged to make friends & connections and be more active on tumblr! I also never thought I’d write for a fandom exchange so that was a super cool thing to be a part of (thanks in no small part to u MWAH)

65. Tell us about what you're most looking forward to writing - in your current project, or a future project

as u know quite well I have been ah… chewing on the idea of writing a winter olympics hockey player/figure skater bloodweave au… which I think is so delicious but I’m putting it off until I finish the perfumer au which I promise I haven’t forgotten exists ahahah… I’m gonna get that last chapter out if it kills me. and it might
