Mekare asked about the history of my OTPs through time. Fun fun!

My first OTP was Amanda King/Lee Stetson from Scarecrow and Mrs. King, a 1980s show about a housewife who ends up working for the CIA. It was goofy and fun and Amanda and Lee were such lovely opposites who worked great together. The show introduced me to some of my favorite tropes ( Read more... )

aegyptae_liber asked me for my thoughts about Sherlock, Johnlock, Mary, the latest series and thoughts about the future. Pull up a chair and have some tea, we might be here a while.

starsandsea asked me to talk about the Silmarillion a little bit, and I was happy to oblige ( Read more... )

rijsg asked what attracts me to a pairing, which is...a dangerous thing to ask, because oh boy, do I like to talk about stuff like that.

jestana asked about thoughts on "Bagginshield"--the pretty adorable portmanteau name for Thorin and Bilbo from The Hobbit. Well...

There was a thing going around on Tumblr with a short dialogue:

pleasance asked me what I've done to improve my writing. IF I have improved at all (sometimes I read older things and wince, other times I'm frustrated because it seems better than what I'm writing now) I'd attribute it to a few things ( Read more... )

lady_peony asked "Your thoughts on SuperBat in a ridiculous high school shoujo manga AU(you know, cherry blossoms, senpai has noticed me, school uniforms with ties and blazers etc etc.)?" And I've been giggling about the idea ever since, even though--alas and ironically--I probably haven't consumed enough of the genre to do it justice ( Read more... )

rileyc asked me about Ian Rutledge/Hamish McLeod, AKA My Detective/Ghost OTP. Ian Rutledge is the hero of a series of mysteries by mother and son writing team Charles Todd. Rutledge is a veteran of WWI and the mysteries are set in England shortly after the war, usually involving some angle about the repercussions of the Great War. The mysteries are ( Read more... )
