(Apparently my ask box is kinda broken rn so I’m just copying the question into another box and sending it to myself)

Fanfiction questions number 9 and 6 from @aliceinwhumperland

Thank you @aliceinwhumperland Sorry the format got kinda fucked but I really appreciate the ask! I love things like this, I just usually never have the courage to reblog them lol I’m always afraid I won’t get a response, which I assume is a common fear

9) the “you got kudos“ e-mail is usually much appreciated, but is there a fic you wish you didn’t get these e-mails for? if so, which one and why?

Oh goodness, yes. There’s some earlier work that I have on my AO3, from when I was in high school back when I was on FF.net and some of it is atrocious. I barely knew how to form a sentence in high school, but also they do have bookmarks and the occasional kudos so I don’t touch them. I hate looking for a fic in my bookmarks and not finding it because it’s been deleted and I always wonder why they deleted it. So I make it a policy not to delete things, even if I wish people would just leave those stories alone. My Avengers 2012 fic from 2012 was not meant to be consumed.

6) what is your favourite sense to incorporate in your writing and why?

oooooh that’s a hard one. I definitely tend to focus a lot on touch and smell especially, ask @withywhump she’ll tell you lol, but I’m not quite sure I have a favorite per say. I think it depends on the characters I’m writing with. Because in my fanfic, I think I tend to incorporate more smell but in my original work, it’s usually more touch. I mean, it’s hard to just focus on one, since especially with whump, you wanna write with all five senses so the reader gets more involved, gets more immersed in your world. I don’t know if I have an answer to why, as I just sort of write whatever I’m thinking of, and I guess I like to smell and touch things lol
