Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

Sure! I feel like only a fraction of what’s in my head ever makes it onto the page, you know?

I’m another one who only writes like 5% of the ideas that float around in my head (and I don’t necessarily write the most compelling or ‘best’ of those ideas, either.)

I’m… really bad at verbalizing things in general, lately, but random questions are welcome and I’ll try and answer them. 

Ask me fic-specific questions!
