(Prompt 1 has been "completed" by way of it being something I had already completed prior to July 2019.)

The username I've used the longest (look at me, see my poor digital security choices?) is a phonetic misspelling of the name I go by IRL. My Ao3 username, Corrosion, is a word I like. My discord username and dreamwidth username are the same, Ascerain, which is just the word "ascertain" with the "t" removed.
My icons on dw are meant to showcase my interests, if incompletely. I mostly use my Shedinja and Magus icons, as they are closest to "me". Magus is from the game Chrono Trigger, a game that I recommend playing to everyone who likes JRPGs. If they've played it before? Play it again.
I'm not known in fandom circles for anything, and, with the current fandom climate, that's probably a good thing. I'd respond to hatemail with either memes or thoughtful paragraphs, thus feeding the trolls and creating an even larger problem for myself. If anything, I'd be known for crackfic.
My habit of making everything into crackfic has gotten a wee bit out of hand. Post-apocalypse road trip with human-eating monsters? Crackfic. Meandering introspective character study? Crackfic. Smut? Crackfic. As my fic ideas develop, they both get long and approach absurdity. My love of dumb puns surely does not do anything whatsoever to prevent this phenomenon, and I will parse most any sentence in a way that its author could not possibly have meant.
Dangling modifiers are a source of amusement to me, as are garden path sentences and sentences with words whose polysemous natures lead me to derive an unintended meaning. This tendency extends to snickering IRL when I read things like "he clashed, ran away, and, finally, swore fealty to him" (not an actual phrase I have read, but I can't recall the exact words of something like it that I have).
On the other hand, comma splices make me groan, and walls of text prevent me from reading. I have Punctuation Opinions.
I occasionally write smut.
