12. If you write in more than one language, what’s the difference?
Nope, just English.
13. Rate your worldbuilding skills from 1 to 10.
I'd say 5. I love worldbuilding, but I don't do much of it, at least not from scratch. I enjoy exploring details of others' worlds and filling in the gaps, but when it comes to creating my own, I often get bogged down by the details. I think my biggest problem is trying to preempt any questions or criticisms, and then I just get too far into the weeds with the teensiest little thing that only relates to the plot tangentially for two sentences, and I get overwhelmed.
14. Write and share the first sentence of a new fic. Just that.
"He saw a flash of red between the falling stones, bouncing and weaving toward him."
15. What’s your favorite plotless fic you have written?
Good (Transistor, Red/Auden). Short, sweet, and to the point. No story here, just one of my favorite fictional couples enjoying a good time after a night on the town.
16. Are one-shots really underrated?
Yes.
