1: What is your favorite trope to write?
Enemies to lover, Porn without plot, Porn with plot, Crack treated Seriously, In Vino Veritas
2: What is your least favorite trope to write?
Crossovers of any kind, Hanahaki, Mpreg, Love Triangle
3: What is the main program you use for writing (google docs, the ao3 writing text box, etc.)
Microsoft Word, though I have been known to use Google Docs as well.
4: What is the main site you publish/write on?
I pretty much exclusively publish on AO3. I used to crosspost to AO3 and Fanfic.net, but I have not posted to FF.net in a number of years and don't know if I plan to again.
5: The fic you’re most proud of writing?
Making Love on the Edge of a Knife (Wednesday 2022)
6: The fic you’re least proud of writing?
That Was Then, This Is Dumb (Daria), it was too rushed and unedited. It could have been done better, but I wrote it so long ago, I have no interest in revisiting it.
7: Favorite ship to write?
Wednesday Addams x Xavier Thorpe (Wenvier) and Yuri Plisetsky x Otabek Altin (Otayuri) I have some Otayuri works that have been rotting in my WIPs folders.
8: Least favorite ship to write?
Jimmy Jr. Pesto x Tina Belcher (Tinnimy - I'm sorry!)
9: Biggest pet peeve while writing?
When I feel like my writing isn't concise enough and I struggle with corrections in the editing process or when I think something makes sense as I'm writing it and when I go back over it during editing I find myself wondering what the hell I was thinking.
10: Best/funniest comment you’ve ever gotten on a fic?
Funniest (to me, because I thrive on trolling and chaos) - a commenter once told me my story was perfect until they got to the part where the male character fingered themselves. They told me I should have been more specific with my tags.
11: Do you prefer writing angst, crack, or fluff?
Crack (treated seriously), though I feel I usually write angst without meaning to.
12: First ever fic written?
Here's to Belcher Growing Up (Bob's Burgers)
13: Latest fic written/latest WIP?
I'm working on an Otayuri fanfic for the Yuri On Ice fandom.
14: First fandom you ever wrote fanfiction for?
Bob's Burgers
15: Fandom you wrote the most fanfiction for?
It's currently an even split between the Wednesday (2022) fandom and Bob's Burgers fandom.
16: Do you prefer co-writing something or just working on it by yourself?
I'd love the opportunity to co-write with more fic writers, but I work on my own stuff. I have had a few collaborations in the Wednesday fandom that I've enjoyed.
17: Favorite AU to write?
I steer clear of AUs, but I did a Wednesday stalker AU writer project with a group of other writers and I loved how it turned out. My favorite fanfic I've ever written came to fruition as a result.
18: Most words/chapters ever written for one fic or oneshot?
Oneshot: 17,412 words - Making Love on the Edge of a Knife; Wednesday
Multichapter: 86,720 word, 15 Chapters - Here's to Belcher Growing Up; Bob's Burgers
19: Have you ever created an OC for a fic?
No. I try my hardest to use characters that already exist.
20: Hardest character to write/get the characterization correct for?
I have a very hard time writing Tina Belcher and feeling like I've captured the essence of her character. I also have a hard time writing Viktor Nikiforov from Yuri on Ice!!! and feeling like I've done him justice. There are a handful of others, but those two are my main ones.
This was fun and I've always wanted to do one of these so thank you to @small-tragedies for tagging me!
I want to tag a few others because I would like to see their responses:

I thought it would be fun to do this with others, and I’m very curious to see what everyone says, especially @twisting-echo 😏.
@babsvibes @twisting-echo @secretsofthemourning @waytoomanyhobbies @jimmypesto @sailoreuterpe @luckierbutjinxedmore
It's now cannon that Juniper and Evvi see Shi'Kami as a second dad and they'd be cool with it if Atharicus and Shi'Kami got married.
Calling all writers!!
This is a dumb question but as someone who is a writer but also new to posting stuff. Idk exactly what to post. Do I post chapters of a story on here? Give links to the story? Just talk about my oc's? Post some excerpts from the story I'm writing?I really don't know what to post so if any of you could give me some advice that would be nice. Thanks for reading this. 😅
Character theme songs :)
Once when I had terrible writer’s block but wanted to feel productive, I picked out theme songs for some of the characters in Blood-Pink.
Valerie: inexplicable, The Correspondents (no, I don’t know why. it simply vibed.)
McKenzie: that periodic table of elements song, you know the one, the one by ASAPScience
Emerson: All Star. He insisted. If we’re being a little more serious, could also be Don’t Stop Me Now- Queen
Tyler: Go To War- Nothing More or Love Like War- All Time Low
Maya: Lane Boy- Twenty Øne Pilots
Stephanie: Blank Space- Taylor Swift
Andrew: Under Pressure- Queen (cause,,,,you know,,,,he works best under pressure)
Gale: Duality- Set it Off (it does not match anything about him, but I couldn’t pass it up since that’s his superhero name)
Molotov: When You’re Evil-Voltaire or Black Cat- Mayday Parade
My writing style is unfortunately just me going “now how many family-unfriendly innuendo-metaphors can I fit in this scene”
(Answer: more than there ought to be, especially during the climax, which could honestly be an innuendo all in itself if you choose to read it as such)
I accidentally gave one of my characters the same power as Athena Cykes from Ace Attorney (being able to sense and ‘read’ emotion). You could also argue that I gave her the force, minus the telekenetic stuff.
This was not supposed to happen, but here we are.
can’t believe people are out here writing 100k+ fanfics while my own shitty wip I’ve been working on for about a year is only 40k
Me, not done with my book: holy fuck I have so many AU ideas for these characters
Time to write fanfiction for my own unfinished manuscript
Does anyone,,,,want? To hear about my characters and wip?
Proper introduction, I guess
Hi everyone! This is technically a writrblr now, and I’ve bothered you guys with memes about my characters without context for ages, so I guess I’d better give you a proper introduction to my manuscript
I’ve got three active WIPs, though one is in the editing stage and one is barely started.
The WIPs are:
1. Dungeons and Dipshits (AKA Magical Maniacs), a high-fantasy story that goes off the rails about a quarter of the way in-this one is barely started
2. The Making of Romeo and Juliet: by Verona City High, a modern retelling of romeo and juliet but also macbeth and also much ado about nothing and also hamlet, kind of (this one’s a movie and its first draft is done)
3. The Guild of Useless Superheroes (AKA Blood-Pink.), a superhero story about a bunch of people who probably shouldn’t be superheroes (This one is my main focus as of now).
This blog right now is going to mostly catalogue the third one.
You can find my characters masterlist here and a brief summary here.
I had to use a different character-creator for Tyler and Emerson because they didn’t look right in the other one. I thought it would be funny if I made Emerson look more like the villain than Tyler (he isn’t really an asshole; he’s just trying too hard to be edgy. Also, Emerson is supposed to be latino but the character creation tool was being a pleb and didn’t give me a good skin tone for him; he should be a little darker than he is here).
I made a very stupid quiz
I made a quiz where you can figure out which one of my goddamn brain gremlins (AKA characters) you are :)
Here’s the link:

Best quotes of my book:
“I’m not going to Rock Paper Scissors for my life”
“I’m a certified- uh, 300 confirmed- look, just insert that navy seal copypasta here”
“McKenzie there an oceanography textbook at her. Since Evebringer was on the 50th floor, the book missed pretty drastically.”
“Don’t tell me to shut up, you villainous villain” (followed by “you shouldn’t use both ‘villainous’ and ‘villain’ in the same sentence”)
“Why do you care about how many postmortem followers you have”
“I have to go write an evil monologue.”
“I’m literally a criminal. Fuck the amendments.”
“We almost died and all you got was a book of cookie recipies?”
“I am a villain, not a heathen. I pay my employees $20 an hour and they have healthcare and dental.”
“Screw economics. We should all just be hunter-gatherers.”
“Get in, loser. We’re going snooping.”
“Fuck the DMV”
“He was a spy being told by the guy he was spying on to spy on the people he worked with. That was, like, way too many layers of inception. Spyception?”
“Its ya boi yeetlord coming back at you with another day of Ultimate Depression”
“Is your power seriously being a gen z kid”
“Nothing about me is cool, hence the fire”
“What are we gonna do with all this water and dirt”
“Well SOMEONE didn’t like my naruto running plan so we have to think up something else”
“Oh my god what the fuck. I was just in the middle of my evil monologue, you can’t just-!”
writing? Ha, more like ‘staring into an empty word document at three in the morning while you desperately try to come up with something but the words slither through the wrinkles of your brain, always just evading your stream of consciousness’
now that I’ve got the first draft of TGOUS done, I might start work on Magical Maniacs (high fantasy d&d inspired) or Parasols and Protocol (urban fantasy about a vampire detective)- which one do you guys want to hear about more?
....would anyone be interested in reading an excerpt from The Guild of Useless Superheroes?
Technically, I've written a book, but what I've really done is duct-taped together a bunch of bad jokes, gay energy, and memes into a what could maybe pass as a semblance of a story if you squint your eyes
When you guys were in 8th grade did you handwrite most of a very bad novel and carry it around at school in a binder to add to every moment you could or was I just insane?
Shout-out to when I tried to write a book in 8th grade and it included illuminati aliens, bigfoot, the loch Ness monster, knockoff X-Men, apple watches, a character who got into arguments with the narrator, a robot superhero who was the only character with an actual personality (half-C-3PO and half Moby from Brainpop), and the plot only advancing by the characters getting lost.
