(Rewatchalong episode 37! The final three will likely involve some further schedule juggling for logistical reasons, but the schedule'll be posted later. Perhaps with episode 38's rewatchalong.)

So, this is technically a favorite fic meme, but whatever, ask me about any of my fics! (Especially as my current fave is as of yet unpublished.) Give me a fic and I'll answer the questions 2-10 below for it – extra questions also welcome! (Works page.)

Overwritable, please. I've just re-read it and it's delightful. :)

2. Which scene was your favorite to write?
ALL THE YE ZUN BITS! Especially the bit where he doesn't know what pregnancy is and theorizes that Bai Suxia ate a kid, and the end bit where he's utterly oblivious to Zhu Jiu's pantsfeels.

3. Which part of the fic was hardest to write?
Figuring out how to set up the Ye Zun bits with the Zhao Yunlan POV. It wasn't that hard, but harder than the Ye Zun hilarity.

4. If you could change anything in it, what would it be?
IDK if I'd change anything? Uh, change reality so I have the time to write the Ye Zun/Zhu Jiu sequel where Ye Zun eavesdrops on a sex fantasy and decides he and minion should try this sex thing?

5. Did you make an outline for it? Did you stick to it?
No real outline beyond a set of mental ideas re: what hilarities Ye Zun should indulge in.

6. Which scenes did you cut, and which were added in the fic?
This was basically flashfic, so I didn't really cut or add anything.

7. Who was your favorite character to write in the fic?
Ye Zun! :D He's wonderful.

8. Which came first, the title or the fic?
The fic, as usual

9. Which idea came to you first in the fic?
The original idea was actually probably Ye Zun Peggy Sue-ing into episode 20ish for a canon divergence, and then I decided i'd make it crack with Ye Zun as an anthropologist from the Crab Nebula. *g*

10. What are some facts readers may not know about the fic?
Uh ... honestly, idk. It was written in a fit of inspiration for fun?

These are my two favorite scenes, too. :)

Oh, I like that idea very much. Here is hoping you will find time in the future.

I have so many other ideas on what to include (Ye Zun going to the SID and being distracted by asking them about sex ed, Zhu Jiu dying of embarrassment while Ye Zun's all "minion, what is that emotion?", giving gege a few conniptions more) that I better find the time, lol. I did just take most of December off from work, hmm...
