Guess who fails memes forever ECHO DOES
HEY I forgot to do this again for a while, awesome, self. THE FIRST THREE QUESTIONS HAVE KIND OF BORING ANSWERS, THOUGH, SO IT'S ALL GOOD.
12. In what story did you feel you did the best job of worldbuilding? Any side-notes on it you'd like to share?
Like I said, I'm not very good at worldbuilding... so I guess I'd have to say Tyler, again. It wasn't extremely in-depth, but I feel like I had some pretty interesting superpowers with interesting explanations, and there are some parts of the backstory that I was... fairly proud of. And then some things that were just kind of THERE, but you know. I definitely put more thought into it than I did with LTH.
13. What's your favorite culture to write, fictional or not?
Does steampunk count as a culture? XD Actually, no, I am terrible at writing steampunk, I can't even count that. I REALLY HAVE NO IDEA
ISN'T THIS FASCINATING :B
14. How do you map out locations, if needed? Do you have any to show us?
...I really don't do maps, I'm just realizing. XD I mean, I'll plan things out in my head if need be, but I don't really find myself sketching them out.
15. Midway question! Tell us about a writer you admire, whether professional or not!
Oh my goodness where to BEGIN. Um, Joss Whedon, natch. J.K. Rowling for her dedication and her ability to create a universe. Libba Bray, Neil Gaiman, Terry Pratchett, Alan Moore (as a writer, not sure I'd like to know him IRL), Jaida Jones and Danielle Bennet, Jaclyn Moriarty, UM THE LIST CONTINUES. A loooot of people.
On the nonprofessional side of things, sweetjerry's fanfic is kind of an obsession of mine right now. <3 Her grasp of character voice is just. Beautiful and astonishing. I can't even BEGIN to remember every fanfiction that ever made me burst into tears or fall on the floor laughing but uh. You guys too.
And of course-- OF COURSE-- all of my writer friends because I freaking love you guys and I am so jealous of you. I think azelmaroark deserves special mention here; Azzie, you are SO unbelievably talented and remarkable, and I think you and Flip Turn and AI are kind of the reason I keep going with this in the first place. Also artemisrampant I seriously wish I had your way with words because DAMN girl. DAAAAAMN.
16. Do you write romantic relationships? How do you do with those, and how “far” are you willing to go in your writing?
Yes I do! Canon pairings are Katelyn/Juliet, Tomiko/Peter, Tanya/Elisabeth, and Tyler/Cadence-- and you seriously do not want me to get into my list of fictional OTPs because we will seriously be here all night. Suffice it to say that I have many, and that a great number of them are yaoi. >.>
I feel like I'm... pretty decent with writing pairings? And I think I owe a lot of that to fanfiction for showing me what I personally like, what's interesting, what works and what doesn't, that kind of thing. I... guess I never really put much thought into how "good" I am with romantic relationships before, because it's gotten to the point where I kind of write them like any other character interaction and I REALLY like writing character interactions SO.
And I am awful at writing sex. So, so, SO awful at it. I usually choose not to and that hasn't presented a problem for me-- Peter and Miko aren't going that far anytime in the near future, Tanya and Liss are minor enough that it wouldn't present an issue, and sex with Tyler is... a whoooooole other issue, poor thing. D: Fanfiction-wise, I just... you know, don't write it.
...I might have to do something if I actually do wind up doing more for Katelyn and Juliet, though. I WILL BURN THAT BRIDGE WHEN I COME TO IT.
ALSO! Yesterday morning I finished Ace Attorney Investigations and it was FABULOUS. FABULOUS FABULOUS. The only bad thing, for me, was that the very end felt... fairly anticlimactic, especially since there was a scene earlier in the case which was both more exciting and more emotionally significant-- I almost wish they switched that up and used that for the finale, but I realize that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. IT WOULD MEAN WE GOT TO SEE MORE OF DETECTIVE BADD THOUGH <333
Otherwise, the graphics/gameplay/soundtrack are excellent, the cases were mostly pretty interesting, it was difficult but not TOO difficult, and all the nods to past games/character cameos/what-have-you were obviously incredibly fanservicey but I didn't even CARE. :D And the new characters were fun as well.
...Though I would like to point out that the timeline here is... kind of ridiculous. XD I MEAN, Miles solves five murders, a kidnapping, a string of high-prestige burglaries, and an international smuggling ring OVER THE COURSE OF THREE DAYS. Not to mention gets himself in all kinds of trouble, way to be there, Miles.
I WILL LEAVE IT AT THAT FOR NOW BUT IF ANYONE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A MORE IN-DEPTH SPOILERY DISCUSSION LET ME KNOW
