Y'all asked questions, I promised answers. Let's do this.
NexusDragon asks: How do you keep yourself pushed to put words on the screen?
Well, it depends on the situation. Sometimes, it's a fight to improve and right some wrongs that I've written. Other times, it's about keeping up with my readers' expectation and trying my hardest not to let them down. The biggest factor that keeps me going is support I get from readers and my friends, particularly when those two groups overlap. When I know the people who are reading my stuff, it makes me want to make it better than I ever thought possible.
homicidal doktor asks: What is your favorite story that you wrote or helped write?
Hm... The rap battle series I do with Conjure is always a lot of fun, and Pinkie Pie Challenged Me To A Rap Battle is my favorite so far. That said, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my sort of flagship story: LBS/LCS. I loved that a lot.
gaia_mission asks: whats your creative process?
Basically, I slam my head against my laptop until words appear, then I post them. More scientifically, I tend to watch movies or TV, listen to music, see art, or read something that sparks my brain and gives me something that I want to make a story out of. Then, I start planning it in my head, almost always out of order. For example, the biggest story I'm working on right now is Crime Pays, and that all stemmed from the quote "Nobody cared who I was until I put on the mask". From there, I planned out the end, then the start, and then worked through the middle. It's not very neat, but it suits my purposes.
NexusDragon (again) asks: Is there anything that distracts you more than you'd like?
Well, ever since I picked up Overwatch, my productivity has suffered dramatically. Other than that, I only really get distracted by other fics I need to work on. I have a habit of starting a million projects when I really only need to focus on two or three.
OmniFox asks: Is there any Groups that have appreciation of pets or animals?
Not a question I thought I'd be answering, but just for you, I did a little looking. I didn't find much, and the groups I did find are dead or dying. You should make your own!
Darath asks: What are your hopes and dreames?
To unlock my superpowers in a life threatening situation, then designing my costume and fighting crime as Kyle Umbra, the Shadowman. Also, to be an at least moderately-successful novelist. I'd also like to write for TV and movies. Honestly, I'd write for just about anything, as long as I get to be creative. Also, my name's not Kyle.
And now, some anonymous questions that I got in PM.
Q: What are your top favorite 5 cartoons?
A: Steven Universe, Danny Phantom, MLP (duh), Adventure Time, and Rick and Morty (can't be too PG)
Q: What would you do for a klondike bar?
A: The most unspeakable of atrocities
Q: how old arw you?
A: 16 going on 65. Seriously, I'm a cranky old man trapped in the body of noodly teen.
Q: You talk a lot.
A: That's not a question. That is an astute observation.
Q: Pepsi or Coke? Trick question, answer is always Pepsi.
A: Damnit, Conjure.
Q: When do you intend to stop writing fanfictions?
A: The day I willingly stop writing fanfics will be the day Ash evolves his Pikachu, I drink Pepsi over Coke, pancakes will beat waffles, Aquaman drowns, the Human Torch goes for a swim, and both my arms break.
Thanks for all your questions, and all your support. Let's see where we go from here.
Personally I'd choose RC (Royal Crown Cola). It has the sweetness of Pepsi but it's 'thicker' like Coke.
4158031 I just go for Sprite...
4160374 Nothing wrong with that. There's very few sodas I straight up don't like tbh.
