Stole this from likeadeuce. I always like talking about my writing process for certain fics, haha.

Pick a fic of mine and a question (or questions) and I'll tell you:

1. What part was most difficult?
2. What are you most proud of?
3. What's a reference you made no one has picked up on yet?
4. What's a bit that sums up your take on a character?
5. Favorite line(s) of dialogue?
6. Favorite lines(s) of prose?
7. Were there any points where you were trying to do something specific with sound, vocabulary, or rhythm?
8. How many drafts did the work go through?
9. Were you listening to anything while writing the fic? If so, what?
10. Imagery that is important to the fic, either while composing or in the fic itself?
11. What were you most worried about during the composition?
12. How do you want readers to react to this fic?
13. What did you want them to take away from it?
14. What inspired this fic?
15. If you used a beta, what did you agree or disagree on?
16. Did anything surprise you during the writing?
17. Were any parts written under the influence

"Chasing the Desert," 16.

I think it'll have to be how much more effort I had to put in for that story. Even though the gist of it is Roy and Riza dealing with post-Promised Day stuff and supporting one another, there were some topics I need to be careful with.

The very end is pretty surprising too. Originally I planned the ending to be more bittersweet, but then it ended up more cotton candy sweet. XD
