AO3 anon here: please take your time and don’t rush yourself! I’d hate for you to feel like writing for something is tedious or obligatory, and besides, I have a feeling this new fic will more than make up for it! Take care of yourself and stay hydrated šŸ’œ

Admin Mawile:Ā (ć€ƒāŒ’āˆ‡āŒ’) Problem is, I tend to start fics, lose inspiration for a while (thanks, hyperfocus), and then get back to them after like 8 months… I’m SO sorry that my updating schedule is so bad, and I’m eternally grateful that ya’ll put up with my brain being weird.Ā 

Your writing is 100% worth paying for, and your not annoying anyone with this fic.

Admin Mawile:Ā Thanks, anon! (*d▽d*) I did commissions for a while, and while there was a tiny bit of interest, it died down quick. I still technically take em, but no one has shown any interest in close to a year…Ā 

Ah well, I’m gonna write this stuff anyway, so there’s no point in charging for it. Commissions are just a hesitant,Ā ā€œsupport the author if you’re feeling generousā€ thing at this point~

Any idea which route you’re going to write first? I can wait patiently for my best boys Azusa, Kou, Ruki and Carla <3

Admin Mawile: It was going to be Laito’s until about a second ago. The order I write things in was going to be based on the survey, honestly. I wanted to see what characters people wanted to see first… but the survey has been a 2-4 way tie for almost the whole time it’s been active.Ā 

Two things that could change it, though. One, send me a message/ask with which character you want to see and why. I want to write what people will enjoy, so this would be a nice way of writing for someone’s super fav!

Second, and this is hesitant, I suppose I could do a sort-of commission for it???? I have absolutely no idea if my weird writing is even worth paying for, but if you really wanted to see someone’s route, that’s a guaranteed way of getting it! I don’t know. This one is really just a hesitant suggestion (=ļæ£āˆ‡ļæ£)

I JUST SAW YOU PUBLISHED A NEW STORY ON AO3 AND I’M SO!!! EXCITED!!! I’ve LOVED so much of your previous work (It Takes a Lot Out of You, Xenobiology and Purple Space Cats, even your longer Dialovers fics, etc.) and after some quick scrolling, I’ve deemed the Sub! AU my new favourite (closely followed by the Human! AU of course~) and I’m super pumped to see what you do next, fic related or not!

Admin Mawile:Ā THANK YOU!!!! Also haha, I’ve been trying to work on an update Purple Space Cats for weeks… It’s not going well. TwT I’m sorry.

And I’m glad you like it!!! I work hard on all of those, so I’m glad people enjoy them!!! Thank you so much for reading my stuff, and I’m very grateful that you sent me such a nice message ā¤

How many chapters do you think each route will be?

Admin Mawile:Ā First of all, thank you and I love you for asking something about the fic!Ā (๑→‿←๑)

And as for your question, well… that’s kind of hard to say. I try to let my writing just go where it ends up, which means I’ll have to actually write a route to figure out how long they’ll be.Ā 

My rough estimate for the moment is 10 chapters each… and I tend to aim for around 5,000 words a chapter for my long fics. Usually more because I get carried away,Ā Ā (*~ā–½~)

However, I’m not promising anything. That’s a pretty ambitious estimate, and since A. I start college soon and B. I’m not getting paid for this, it’s subject to change if I lose inspiration or time. I’ll write the fic for as long as I’m having fun with it, though, and the best way to get me to write more/faster is to comment and talk to me about it!

Does this mean you won’t be posting the rest of Sub! Au prompts?

Admin Mawile:Ā I am absolutely going to be posting all of the prompts when I finish them. I love interacting with ya’ll. I love questions. I love fic prompts. I may kind of be taking on more than I can handle, but I’m perfectly happy with whatever means I get to see people happy with my writing! šŸ˜€ Short answer; all the short prompts will be done as well~

How old is the reader in your sub AU fic? I’m going to assume Yui was our best friend that we protected but Ayato and the others kept calling us old and I was wondering specifically how old we were supposed to be?

Admin Mawile:Ā My idea of reader is around early-mid twenties, but it’s open to interpretation! I wanted reader to have some maturity on the boys, even if they’re notĀ actuallyĀ too close in age. It seemed fitting for the story that reader be more of aĀ ā€œmature adultā€, to me~

Ayato is just being Ayato, though. He picked on Yui for her chest the first time he met her, and this seemed fitting for this reader.Ā 

Also, I wasn’t completely intending for the friend to be Yui. There have been a lot of brides, after all, and it’s again pretty open to interpretation. While there have probably been some older brides, I feel that the boys would be pretty used to theĀ ā€œcute teenage girlā€ thing that Yui was.Ā 

Thank you for the question!!Ā
