This thing has twenty questions! That's a lot! (No wonder she split it 😂)

1.) Describe yourself as you would a character in a fanfic.

Haha okay. I guess I'll be using my usual format:

Name: GeekoTreecko
Age: 18
Dominant Hand: Right
Eyes: Brown, with glasses
Hair: Brown
Likes: writing, music, strategy games, food, puns
Dislikes: writer's block, disrespect, instant rice from a box, in organization
Hobbies: writing, MTG, strategy games in general, visual reading, jokes
Small Bio: Born in a hospital just inside the city of X's borders. Skipped a grade in school. Currently works in a restaurant. Currently lives with his parents and little brother (age 7). Spends most of his day working. Wishes he could write more. Likes rock music. Likes to joke. Tends to be reliable. Has been wearing glasses since 3rd grade. Broken his heart too many times for his own good. Generally eats anything. Simplistic in his fashion. Tall and lanky, physically stronger than he appears. A true gentleman (in training) ✨🎩.

Words That Describe: smart yet stupid, pun master, tall, geek, clever, awesome & handsome (they both end with "me" after all), gentleman

Lines (things he'd say):

"70% of a compromise is a 'promise'."

-GeekoTreecko

"I'm not against gays or lesbians. I think they're expressing their own desires. And they're helping with overpopulation."

-GeekoTreecko

"My friends often say I repeat jokes."

-GeekoTreecko

"Hidden Strings. You may tap or untap target permanent. Then you may tap or untap another target permanent."

-GeekoTreecko

"Ahh that's why I'm still a gentleman in training!"

-GeekoTreecko

2.) Do you have a ritual before/during/after you write?

I do have one after I write.

It's called saving my progress 👌

3.) Which fanfic is/was your favorite one to write?

Currently, I'm writing Hopelessly Devoted to Misery which I feel like will be fun to write. I like the concept, and I need a break from the pokécentric The Journey of an Eon that's almost done.

4.) Authors you admire?

I admire any online author that publishes. Why? Because those who write and don't publish or at least share I feel like could be fantastic. And fantastic things should be shared. That's what I think anyway.

5.) How many words do you think you could write in an hour if you really concentrated?

I could write...maybe 6-7K. Assuming a 2K word chapter, that's three chapters.

6.) What was your first fanfic pairing and plot?

I don't really pair anyone with anyone. I tend to...not have fantastic pairings. Haha 😂

But I have no plans on pairing anyone with anyone that's a main character. Like maybe a "hey we're married" couple in a story that serves a small role

But no "ships" as the cool kids call it.

7.) Inspiration, time, or motivation?

Is this a three part question? We already have 20 to answer 😂

Inspiration: music...and a handful of Wattpadians out there (you know who you are 😊)

Time: evenings and days when I'm not working. PST

Motivation: because the idea is in my head. And if it's on paper, then it won't have to be in my head. Then I can put other stuff in my head (like more story ideas or someone's bday)

8.) Why do you write?

I find writing easier to convey feelings than actually saying them.

I also see myself as someone who can admit stuff easier than others. I feel writing is practice for me to voice what I want to interpret to others aloud. I can create a scenario and imagine reactions. And it'll be easier to do it in real life.

Apparently I'm a decent motivational speaker according to glitterandasphalt as well...so I guess writing helped with that too. Emotions and stuff

9.) Are you planning on writing anything other than fanfiction?

Yes. I have 43 chapters of it

(If enough people want it...maybe I'll publish a chapter here?)

10.) What inspires you the most?

Haha. I can't say that. It'd be too embarrassing 😂

11.) Out of your fanfics, which one is your favorite?

Written? Hopelessly Devoted to Misery is a tad higher than TJoaE.

Unwritten? At All Costs. I love the concept of it being more mellow than an action-packed quest adventure. Just a merchant and Pokémon. Traveling. And showing a new perspective on the whole world. It'll be a fun write and hopefully at least half the same enjoyment to the reader(s).

12.) Strangest thing you ever wrote or ever thought about writing?

I actually have a story (it's "finished") about a guy who was addicted to his own suicide, but he keeps failing at killing himself.

I'll leave it at that.

The title? Worse Than Death.

13.) Which fanfic do you wish you had written better and why?

TJoaE. Hands down. Luckily, I am going back to edit and revise it. Yeah. Might not (never) be ready for the 20XX PWA.

Which might be best in the end.

14.) What is the best fanfic you've ever read (not your own)?

Ooh that's difficult. Mostly because I don't read much.

Well anyway, it's got to be Double Agency which is on fanfiction.net

It's a Detective Conan fic where literally every recurring cannon character is a double agent. For those who haven't read it, it's hilarious. For those who haven't, I have two words for you: Scotland Yard.

15.) What is your guilty writing pleasure?

Not letting the MC get with the girl.

I can't write a happy love story when I haven't experienced one. So until then...ehem (you know who you are out there)

16.) Do you plan out your story before writing or do you just wing it?

I plan roughly. I don't plan details like the color of the MC's shirt in chapter X. Nor do I plan every sentence of dialogue. But I do roughly storyboard and outline. Sometimes I add very powerful lines (see question 20) that I know I want in that chapter/scene. So I plan that too.

It tends to be a clever pun or metaphor. Just a heads up

17.) Are you a fast writer?

Yeah, but it depends on what I use. Computer? YES. My phone?

...

😂😂

18.) How old were you when you started to write stories (fanfics or not)?

One-shots were 10th grade. I have them published here if you're interested. Don't worry, they're non-fandom.

19.) Why did you start writing?

I feel like I'm a storyteller.

Here's the thing: I feel like this whole generation has become performers. Especially with social media where you record yourself. That's you putting on a performance and sharing it.

I'm just performing in a different way I guess. I'm not an actor. I'm just the guy who comes up with what the actor says. And looks like. And does. And wears. And his expression. And his backstory.

20.) List six sentences from your works that you're really proud of.

Oh dang here we go. They're not just one sentence. I feel the whole passage makes me proud. +20 pts to those who know where these are from:

~

"Forget the semantics. You want to meet him right? Then go. There's no rule saying every emotion needs a proper name."

~

"It's stupid, impossibly stupid, but love isn't a choice."

~

"Then again, pathetic is my default state."

~

"Remember the lesson, not the disappointment."

~

"why are you dressed up like my love for Halloween?"

~

And last but not least...

~

"Wouldn't the sentence 'I want to put a hyphen between the words Fish and And and And and Chips in my Fish-and-Chips sign' have been clearer if quotation marks had been placed before Fish, and between Fish and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and And, and And and and, and and and Chips, as well as after Chips?"

~

And that's a wrap! (No, I'm not proud of that sentence)
