As mentioned in a previous post, I knew I wouldn't have too much to talk about here for the last two days, so I thought combining them would be a good choice. I'm also not going to put any excerpts in this post, mostly because of the nature of these two fics, I think it'd just be odd to show them out of context.

First, I don't at all usually consider my stats on AO3 fics. I've never been a popular author, though I've had the occasional luck with fics during Yuletide. So I am not sure how to define popularity other than with the stats provided, and yet I don't feel like they at all show what my writing is capable of. shrugs It is what it is.

By kudos, my most popular WIP was "Like I Feel" an alphabet collection of stories I was writing about Bann Teagan from Dragon Age. I started three of these alphabets about Teagan, each with a different theme. This specific one I'd deemed the "romance" edition because he was sort of sleeping his way around Kirkwall, but maybe also falling in love with one specific character. I didn't even make it halfway into the 26 chapters this should've had. HOWEVER, this specific fic has been on my mind a lot even before this challenge, and it's absolutely one I want to not just finish, but rewrite completely, I have a better idea of it now and how I want it to work. I think I could do it better justice now... seven years later. LOL

As for day seven's topic, just any old WIP. Let me submit this epistolery fic I once started for the very wonderful visual story game, Cinders. It's a Cinderella retelling, it's on Steam and it's beautiful to play and the story is awesome. Well worth the current sale price of $7. The story is called "Letters Home" and it was specifically a story to deal with the relationship between one of the step-sisters, Gloria, and Cinders after one of the potential story endings where Cinders heads out on her own. I only wrote three chapters of it, but I really adore it and I wish I'd known where I wanted to go with it to keep writing it.

Bonus Question 1:
What is your favorite comment you’re received on any of your fan works (WIP or Complete)?

This is a great question because I've recently received some of my favorite comments EVER. First, during Yuletide I got an amazing comment on my Ozark story "What I've Done to You", which is such a specific niche story because that fandom is basically non-existent. The comment(s) I got from the person that story was for were just excited and wonderful and perfect for a story written for such a small audience and it made my day.

Maybe using a Yuletide story is a cop-out. So let me point back to the story I used on Day Two. I JUST recently got a comment for this unfinished story that I wrote, "Woven of Dust and Starlight". It's unfinished and was last updated in 2012 but someone found it and left a sweet comment about how much they liked it and it absolutely made my day.

Bonus Question 2:
What WIP (not written by you) would you love to see updated?

"#friendlyneighborhoodspiderpeople by [archiveofourown.org profile] pepperfield a really amazing multi-media type fic inspired by Into the Spider-Verse.
