Describe the plot of your current WIPs in a single sentence each.

Train to Nowhere: Voldemort won the first war, and Harry is out to fix the system.

If Them’s the Rules: Harry Potter travels back in time to adopt Tom Riddle and give him a better life.

My Head’s Underwater (But I’m Breathing Fine): TTN-spinoff in which Regulus ends up in a cell rather than dead, and he can’t get over how pretty he thinks Harry is.

7.  What was the first novel you ever tried to write? If you’ve never tried to write a novel, then what was the first story you ever wrote?

I never completed it, so it was just an attempt, but it was a scifi story about a creature who had just managed to escape a research center, and was then left to pick between going back to a cell where it was being hurt regularly (but where it knew its place in the world), or stay out there in the wild, not knowing when it’ll feel pain again, and not knowing what its life purpose is anymore.

Do you prefer writing with small casts of characters or large ones?

Small! Easier to keep track of everyone’s story lines. For larger fics tho, I always end up with an annoyingly big cast.

Thank you!

Hi! Thank you for msging me abt this, I really don’t mind people asking me about my fics with matters like these.

Unfortunately my life got really busy again recently, just as I thought things would calm down a bit. Luckily, however, I’ll be done with my current project around mid-March, and I’ll be able to write and update TTN (and other fics) around that time again.

Thank you so much for your patience! ❤

It ain’t embarrassing, don’t worry! It’s basically used to refer to ppl who are very intense fans of something or someone. It technically means a combination of “stalker” and “fan”, but I’ve mostly seen it used with the intense fans without any stalking involved.

That I should be able to take some inconveniences voluntarily upon myself, in order to make things easier for others. And I’m not talking about the major things like “oh will I give up my plane seat for a stranger” or redirecting a promotion to someone more deserving than myself, because I don’t often end up in those kind of situations. And I’m not talking about suffering in silence (or self sacrifice, or putting up with shit) either.

But the small daily stuff like if there’s one item left of something, do I need it, or should I leave it for someone else who might need it more? If someone needs my time for assistance that I can give, should I pause what I’m doing and help? If someone I don’t like is being treated unfairly, should I still speak up and defend them? If a friend is speaking ill of an undeserving acquaintance, should I speak up and correct them? If a clearly stressed barista treats me like shit, should I just let it go? If a friend is being snide towards me, and I know it’s due to momentary stress (e.g. illness, divorce, exams) rather than a habitual act of bullying, should I let it slide? Yes, to all of that.

And these things (acts of consideration) may be perfectly clear for other people (although from what I’ve seen, a lot of people claim that these are obvious when asked, and then seem to forget all about them the moment they no longer talk about it), but I’m not inherently above selfishness and the occasional cruelty (especially towards people I don’t like), so I have to put the effort to become better. And The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas has always made me question the right for someone (e.g. me) to experience wonder, if someone else has to suffer beyond words for it. I don’t think it’s right or humane to withhold kindness and consideration from someone, and being able to handle inconveniences to make someone else’s suffering a bit less, should be expected.

So, that’s a ramble. I hope it made sense.

Thank you! I will update ITTR eventually, when I have more time ❤

The original version is usually part of an anthology since it’s so short (only 4 pages), so your uni might have it under the name “The Wind’s Twelve Quarters”. You can also read the short original version here.

I’ve seen the book version (abt 30 pages if i remember right), but it didn’t interest me enough to pick it up and browse through. I think part of what makes the story so impressive is that it has such an impact despite being so short. But of course opinions may differ.

Hi! Thank you so much!

ITTR isn’t actually on hiatus, I just have been too busy to get back into it properly. Mainly it was due to studies and work, but now I’m almost done with that and have more time in the horizon for writing. The little time I have had for writing, I’ve used for TTN to get that fic moving a bit forward.

But yes,  it’s absolutely going to get continued, hopefully soon! Thank you so much for your patience <333
