What is the one thing you hate most about your fandom?
[[ … I have to pick one?
The fact people think they can make anything and everything into a headcanon. I’ve seen a lot of stuff that can easily be disproven with canon material but people think it’s a total playground. Sexuality headcanons are usually the worst of these. ]]
[[ End of the war arc. Things started going from bad to worse– but I also understand why. Kishimoto had made the story too big for himself, and was trying to simplify it in a way he could end it “cleanly.” ]]
[[If I’m really really sleepy, most of the time the character will go with me. Unless something drastic happens to them, in which case their feelings will force me awake. ]]
10.how much do you proof-read as you are writing vs. proof-read at the end?
[[I usually proof-read while I write. Since I type in the Academically taught way, I can tell when I make a mistake the moment I make it, and I usually backspace immediately to go fix it. Other errors will occasionally get in though, but it’s usually me completely replacing a word with another (hence me not noticing the error), and I will usually notice these post publishing when I’m re-reading the post. ]]
6. do you have ideal writing circumstances when you can do a lot of drafts or tackle really long ones very easily?
[[I seem to be hit and miss, really. It depends if I’m really feeling the thread(s) at the moment. Once I am writing a thread I can reply in under a minute, tops. Lady can attest to this. I type extremely fast. If I’m not really feeling it I won’t even start typing and then I can take days/weeks. For some reason I can’t listen to music anymore while I write, I get really choppy.
Long ones don’t bother me, though. It’s all about whether I’ve set my hands to the keyboard yet. ]]
18. what’s your inbox count currently? what did you do to get it so high/low?
[[ ;_;
This is because this blog has been active for 5 years and there was a period where countless people asked me for info on meta/scenarios/what ifs, etc. I’d still like to go back and tackle these one day that the series is over so my answers aren’t purely guessing, though. ]]
24. what’s your thought process when you format? any unspoken rules you follow?
[[ Legibility. That’s it. I’m never gonna be that person that does overly fancy formatting. I can just tell where I need a page-break depending on the flow of the text. What’s happening, who’s talking, will it be a dramatic pause if I stop the text here–
and continue here? So on. And I don’t spam bold/italics. I’m allergic to small text. Overall I want people to be able to read my text without having to do anything extra on their part. ]]
“It was easier, having Kisame with me. Though our start was rough, he was kinder than he let off, and willing to put up with me calling order. I know it didn’t benefit his interest when I escaped from battle so often. The missions were almost what I was used to. Guarding, killing, stealing this or that, with plenty of time to travel inbetween.
Oh, he was just going to ruin things for himself, wasn’t he?
“Don’t be so harsh on Sasuke. Your dedication to your work and the village comes at his expense. He belongs here as well, and he deserves understanding for what he’s been through. If you must be angry at someone for his behavior, turn it into me.
