Borrowed from lost_spook.

187.
2) What’s your total AO3 word count?
343,953.
3) How many fandoms have you written for and what are they?
34. My top ones are Sherlock, Garrison's Gorillas, and The Sentinel.

Dear Thorin (The Hobbit, slash), 697 kudos.
From Hobbiton With Love (The Hobbit, slash), 428 kudos.
Eye of the Beholder (The Hobbit, slash), 374 kudos.
Sick Days (Sherlock, gen), 309 kudos.
The Fairytale of Bilbo Baggins (The Hobbit, slash), 303 kudos.
5) Do you respond to comments, why or why not?
Yes, because it's polite to say thanks for a compliment and occasionally you can end up having a conversation about the film/series/whatever.
6) What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?
Ori Writes.
7) What’s the fic you’ve written with the happiest ending?
I really couldn't tell you. Mot of my stories have happy endings.
8) Do you write crossovers? If so what is the craziest one you’ve written?
Stargate Atlantis and The Princess Bride (requested by debris_k). Inconceivable.
9) Have you ever received hate on a fic?
Yep. My Sentinel bonding fic got a lot of hate, which is why it's not on AO3. I was a fool to write it.
10) Do you write smut? If so what kind?
No, unless you count Sentinel bonding fic, which lots of people read as slash.
11) Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Yep:
Sick Days (Sherlock, gen) was stolen by someone who did a find/replace on the names and turned it into an anime fic.
Alas, Poor Fargo (Sentinel, gen) "inspired" someone to change the characters into Supernatral characters and the hat into a cassette tape. The author gave me credit but since it was pretty much my fic with bits altered to fit, it was plagiarism.
12) Have you ever had a fic translated?
A few times.
13) Have you ever co-written a fic before?
Once, sort of. It was supposed to be a Round Robin and other members of the fanclub were supposed to be encouraged to join in. But the first author changed bits in my part and posted the whole thing without saying it was a Round Robin and others should feel free to jump in with your part...and the whole thing crashed. It destroyed my friendship with her.
14) What’s your all time favorite ship?
Thorin and Bilbo.
15) What’s a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?
I have a number of Sentinel bonding WIPs languishing on my pc.
16) What are your writing strengths?
Humour, dialogue.
17) What are your writing weaknesses?
The physical ability to type. I'm not saying my writing is all that and a bag of chips, but my arm muscles are pretty well destroyed. Typing takes a long time.
18) What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?
Please provide a translation unless being unable to understand is important.
19) What was the first fandom you wrote for?
Garrison's Gorillas.
20) What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?
Maybe Recode (Person of Interest, gen). Usually my favourite is the one I've just finished, if I'm happy with it. I'm frequently a bit dissatisfied, tbh.
