1) is there a story you’re holding off on writing for some reason?

Oh, always. In this fandom, it’s… kinda my main one. The one I started the blog for. The one that’s trying to be a graphic novel. That one. >_>;;
It’s been consistently delayed for several reasons, including not-insignificant mental health recovery, but also because it’s just dang complicated and I want to do it right. I’m still learning as an artist and a writer, and the temptation to “get better” before I work on the magnum opus is strong. Plus, it’s intimidating because I’d like to initiate people into my OTP, and I’d like for it to be at least engaging and convincing for people who don’t ship it, or ship it in a vastly different way. ( I will give you three guesses as to which ship it is ~~it is angbang literally no one thought it was anything else~~). It also involves solidifying my headcanons for an absolutely ridiculous scope of text. I am small and scared, there is so much timeline. Help.

8) favorite genre to write

To the surprise of no one, it’s fantasy/sci-fi! The more political intrigue and world building, the better. I could probably swing historical fiction if I had the right subject matter, given that it’s a genre that caters to my need to obsessively research minutiae and reconstruct character personalities from minimal details. OOH! also: Poetry.
