6 – What’s the last thing you read that made you laugh?
Oh, geeze. I laugh at literally everything. I think it was probably a F/M/K by @alicedragons or @sansy-fresh. Either this one or this one, I think.
Though the literal last thing that made me laugh out loud was this response to my last ask from @ravvi-k:
7 – What’s the last thing you read that made you cry?
…Well. If I laugh at most things, then I cry at almost nothing. I… Aw, geeze. I honestly can’t remember? It was more than a year ago. Okay. How’s this instead—I’ll tell you what made me cry the absolute hardest?
Godslayer, Book II of the Sundering by Jacqueline Carey ( @deck-of-dragons – this is the book I was talking about). I cried for what must have been 2-3 hrs. All through the end of the book. Roughly 100 pages of crying. It was absolutely soul-crushing, but it’s an awesome, awesome duology.
This is going to sound cliche, because by now a lot of people have done this, but I’ve never seen it done so well, or done in a way that wasn’t meant as a quick gimmick or a joke—but the basic premise is viewing the classic “Lord of the Rings”-type plot from the villain’s perspective. Except the thing is…they’re not villains. Not even a little bit. Really, it’s a story about intolerance and allowing yourself to be blinded by hatred. It’s a damn tragedy is what it is.
If you’re an author, how many WIPs do you currently have? (Be honest!)
>_<
Okay, let me count……
…….
……
Alright, it’s not that bad. A little more than 10. Some of them I know I’m never going to get to doing though. So, of the ones I actually plan on posting, it’s probably closer to 7 or 8.

What’s next on your ‘to-read’ list? (Fan fiction or otherwise)
Well, on the non-fan fiction side of things, I am currently reading the Game of Thrones series–it’s taking me a long time though. I’m not actually that good at reading stuff. I’m very slow, and I don’t read frequently enough to get through things quickly.
As for fanfiction, I tend to read one-shots more than longer fics, simply because I don’t normally have the time to catch up on longer fics. So, unless I’ve been there from the beginning, I tend not to read longer fics very often. (I used to, but I stopped after I started writing).
10. Mutual pining or enemies to friends to lovers?
ENEMIES TO FRIENDS TO LOVERS.
One of my favourite tropes. (I mean, geez, I think that’s pretty much all I write about, now that I look back on some of my longer fics?)
I do like the mutual pining trope too, but I think it’s generally a bit soft for me. I like my boys to hate each other before coming to terms with the rampant sexual chemistry between them.
Aww, yay! I’m so glad to hear that ^^ I’m also really excited to write it. It may be a while until I get around to it still, though, since I have so many other things lined up as well ;-; But it’s definitely near the top of my list.
Oh man, I’m pretty sure there were a bunch of ships I used to like just because they were kind of ridiculous sounding (see: Edgelord Supreme)–but I’ve inevitably thought of ways to turn them into beautiful, dramatic, angsty
romances.
I think I’m generally not as interested in the real crackships though, because I like to evolve my characters’ relationships in meaningful ways. It’s sort of hard for me to get behind ships that just make me laugh–unless it’s for shitpost reasons.
7. What’s the last thing you read that made you cry?
Oooooh.
I’m actually not really one for crying when it comes to reading, but the most recent fic that got me pretty close to crying would probably have to be I Ask You To Be Mineby @casualbones. Warning for Major Character Death with that one. (The fact that it’s Spicyhoney is what really got me, I think. Only I’m allowed to make my boys sad.)
I’ll spare you paragraphs upon paragraphs of all the fic ideas I have churning around in my stupid brain, and just explain one lol.
It’s a Spicymaple (Edge/Slim) fic. Bad Brother Red AU. There’s a Reset in Slim’s universe, and he loses all memories of his relationship with Edge. It’s a rough uphill battle for them to get back to where they were originally–especially with Red trying to sabotage any and all things that bring Edge genuine happiness.
I have so many other things I need to work on, but I really hope I get the chance to flesh this one out properly, because I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I really like the idea.
Damn it. These are hard. Can’t I just do all of them?
I mean, Sixteen Rules was basically secret friends with benefits? :))) Overall, probably the friends with benefits one though. I like secret dating, but my skeletons are pretty horny and hyper-sexual, so they don’t normally ‘date’.
15. Post the last line you wrote without context.
Oh geez, Painty. You do know what I’m writing at the moment, don’t you?
“His soul felt empty and raw—as if
someone had taken a knife and scraped all the magic from it.” (This is far worse with context, let me tell you.)
19. What’s your favourite character headcanon?
God, there are so many good ones to choose from. I don’t think I actually have just one favourite–but one that I really like is the headcanon that skeletons purr when they’re really relaxed (or really distressed). Thanks Kit.
