Now sorta-kinda crossposting with my AO3 account over at ClockworkCourier. All other fanfiction on this account is on permanent hiatus otherwise. Sorry about that.

F.A.Q.

Q: What happened to [insert fic here]?
A: Chances are, I deleted that myself. I've been cleaning this page out, since it was a huge mess. A lot of those fics were written I was either in middle school or very early in high school. Just to save myself some dignity, I ditched them. Some of them I'd like to revisit someday, but every year that passes, those chances get tinier.

Q: When are you going to update [insert fic here]?
A: Whenever or, most likely, never. It really depends on what fic it is. I have a really terrible habit of not completing certain fics, and it's been thirteen years since I started this account. So, there's some fics that I'm probably never going to touch again, for a variety of reasons. Maybe the subject doesn't interest me anymore, or I left the fandom, or maybe I just couldn't find the drive to finish it. A lot of it is a matter of motivation. So, please, don't be personally offended if I discontinued a fic you liked. I really do apologize.

Q: Wow! [Insert fic here] kinda sucks! What's the deal with that?
A: Ah, yes. This can all be explained as simply the beauty of early adolescence. Unfortunately, most of the fics I've written were made back when I was around thirteen or so. Chances are, they're cheesy, or badly-written, or just outright horrible in every sense of the word. However, there's some I just don't have the heart to remove, and whenever I need some motivation, I take a glance at one or two and remember that what ever I write now is probably better than one of those fics ever could be. At least it's an exercise in self-confidence.

Q: Do you take requests?
A: Not on FF! I'm literally never on here except for the weird occasional message that ends up filtering through to me when some fic archaeologist plows through and finds some ancient, nasty relic I made. You can hit me up over at my AO3, though!

Q: [Insert question about 'Child in the Snow' here]?
A: I get a lot of questions about this, even thirteen years later. Here's the deal: I wrote this fic when I was in 7th grade, when I was a delicate daisy at the age of twelve. It was also my first published fanfic and my most reviewed, which is why it's kind of a sentimental thing with me and why it still exists on this site. I was a freaky little preteen, chock-full of hormones and bizarre ideas. Did I really know what a Mary-Sue was? You better believe I didn't. Did I have very much finesse and skill in writing? Not particularly. I was writing it because I thought it was fun (which it was!) and because I really liked PoTO at the time. Yeah, now I can't look at it for very long without getting secondhand embarrassment and hiding my head under a pillow. So any discrepancies or questions about it probably don't really matter anymore, seeing as this thing is over a decade old and there are kids on this site that are as old as that fic. If there's a question you have that you honestly want me to answer about it, message me personally.
