Behind the Breadstick

tags cuz im bored 🫡

its been a hot minute hi hello

uh idk what to talk about tbh so enjoy this (won't be tagging others cuz idc, u can do it too if u want lol)

1. Talking about finished stories, probably "Diamond in the Rough" since I remember that one the most and it became my most popular story besides my one-shots

2. Also probably DITR but including unfinished, my top favorite is my current story "Walking Among Spirits"

3. I would say no even tho I unpublished my very first book cuz it was really cringey, without it I wouldn't have written my others so no, none of them I regret

4. Mmmmm honestly not sure wait actually there's 1 actual story draft I have but never deleted, I just never went thru with the idea and looking back at it now, I'm glad I didn't cuz it was dumb and I know I wouldn't have enjoyed it lmfao

5. The personalization of it like compared to ao3 there's no personality like Wattpad, meaning profiles idk how to explain it but having a page with a cover photo idk ao3 is more about the stories rather than authors I suppose

6. Program? I deadass just write on here lol

7. Obvious but Attack on Titan

8. Honestly I'd say a 7 or 8, it's grown a lot compared to when I first started and I'll be cocky for a moment, I like my writing and know I can get better at it too

9. Sketchbook and/or pic collage if/when needed

10. Anything with Levi cuz it's all I've written and was the first I started with so that's what I'm used to

11. Music really helps honestly, songs inspire me sometimes or even just being alone in my own thoughts especially before I go to sleep

12. It honestly depends on what I'm writing if it's my own idea it can be sometimes but if it's a request and I'm given a general storyline/idea then no the most difficult part is filler stuff leading to a plot

13. I would say not really, that's just me I guess, before when I was newer to this, probably, sometimes I tried too hard but tbh my personality is similar to some of them so I'm my own source at times lol

14. I have like a handful of times as far as actual fanfic writing but I used to rp a lot and it involved a lot of smut so uh haha... idk which I prefer, I mean probably fluff over smut cuz smut is always the same in my opinion whereas fluff can come in many forms

15. Getting to share my ideas and having an outlet for it cuz I have too much going on upstairs and  it needs to come out

1. "Walking Among Spirits" cuz it's my most recent with my best writing so far <3

2. Fiction because nothing really needs fact-checking or research because ✨fiction✨

3. I wouldn't be here without self-inserts lol that's all I write

4. Music, shows/movies, my own imagination

5. Sometimes but I consider that as where I have 0 ideas, I lose motivation more-so than not having ideas so I consider that a totally different thing compared to writer's block

6. Attack on Titan :)

7. They can range from 1,000-7,000+ words on average

8. Honestly I love drama, I enjoy writing vivid angst because I'm not normal-

9. Just one, I tried Yuri!!! On Ice but I wasn't that into it

10. I take requests for one-shots

11. My one-shots book but besides that, "Diamond in the Rough" as for a regular fanfic book

12. Five including my very first one which is unpublished

13. Both I guess I mean it is a hobby but also it's probably all I will ever write

14. I do, I have a few in my library (by few it's actually like 40 unfinished fics) I'll out myself and give some examples: Jean x reader, Levi x reader, some call of duty stuff lol, Star Wars stuff, etc., yeah

15. I would say allow your readers to feel like themselves, don't automatically make an appearance for them then slap "y/n" on the character because then it doesn't feel like an x reader, it feels like an oc, allow your readers to use their own appearance by including (height), (hair color) if they have or show their hair, etc., it's super important

16. Nah not every fanfic is a smut, at least not anymore

17. All my stories are mature and should be treated as such like pls I was young when I started, I admit but pls keep your innocence for as long as you can, (some of y'all shouldn't even be reading these 😭) I also don't write smut very often cuz it's really time consuming

18. Yeah, that would be my first one which like I mentioned is no longer published, also my second book "In Your Eyes" which contains heavy/serious topics I wish I didn't include, I was young and dumb and it was (unfortunately) the "norm" to write back then but times have changed

19. Almost seven years now which is insane to me

20. Typically 2 weeks to like a month, it really depends on my motivation and schedule

21. I mean I guess but I can be forgiving and let it slide unless its not on purpose and suuuuuper out of character without being disclaimed as an "ooc" (out of character) story which sometimes I purposely write

22. It really just depends on what the prompt is, typically easy tho, sometimes I'll start with a sentence/idea/phrase I want to include and build from there

23. No not really I mean my only oc's would be like the self-insert reader's family/friends in a story but nothing more than that

24. Yeah I've tried Yuri!!! On Ice like I mentioned but wasn't into it

25. Oh hell yeah I do, a reason why I like angst so much is because it's normal to me and I know a lot of those feelings and how to write it in a convincing/authentic way

26. Um I don't think I really have one tbh, I don't read a lot irl or on here that much anymore

27. As far as like characters who inspired oc's I've included in fics, yeah I guess so, fun fact: Tristan from "Walking Among Spirits" was inspired by Justin Russo from "Wizards of Waverly Place" on Disney Channel lmfao

28. Yeah in my one-shots book I've done quite a few au's, my fave was the criminal reader x prince Levi :)

29: To write a story and finish it completely? It could take a few years actually, now at least but before, it would be like 9 to 18 months or something like that

This was fun it felt like an interview :)

Anyway, that's all for now
