Fanfic meme, question 6-7

scripsi6. What element of writing do you find comes easily? and 7. What element of writing do you struggle with most?
I’m good at writing emotions. I also find it hassle-free to write milieus and clothes. Dialogue also usually flows easily. Family enough I find it harder to describe what people actually look like; it seems that it’s so easy to veer into purple prose then. I can also struggle a bit to insert actions and emotions to break up long monologues a little. Endings can also be a bit tricky too. Sex scenes are both easy and not easy. I have a number of expressions I find a distinct turn-off (for me), like “clit”, and other more commonly used words. It can be difficult at times to use other words without making it sound stilted. But people seem to really like my sex scenes, so I guess I do it right somehow.
All the questions.

18. Wildest fic you’ve ever written?
19. Do you prefer canon-compliant, AUs, or something in-between?

I need to decide that I won't let it bother me when I watch things, but that only works if I feel the costumes work on the whole. Like versailles were the costumes and hair were consistent and very beautiful, if not exactly correct. But I noped out of The Tudors and The White Queen because the costumes were just too much wrong for me to handle. :)
