In which I ask you to ask me shit...

No idea what kind of a response this will get, but here is some meme-age for you:

Ask me a question about one of my stories. It can be absolutely anything in any fic and I will tell you the honest-to-god answer. Don’t hold back. Anything. Whatever you ask, I will try my best to answer.Feel free to ask about anything about future projects/sequels ( Read more... )

I have a couple general questions.

What non-fanfic writing do you most like to read? Could be nonfiction, blogs, authors, books, whatever.

What's your favourite kind of rum? ;)

Yay, thanks for asking me questions ( ... )

Yay, I'm so glad you asked this question!!! This might be the question I was hoping to get from this meme ( ... )

Tell me about Beyond Measure. Was it tough to keep to the strict word limit? Did it make you cry when you were writing it? How do you manage to tear my heart out of my chest every single time I read it?

Does anyone in real life know you write slash? What would you do if they ever found out? Also, what was your first fandom?

Tea or coffee? Your money or your life? Cake or death?

hi, i wrote you the longest answer ever :-) First of all, I would love to talk about Beyond Measure!! OMG, the word count, I can't even tell you how many times I had to read through each one trying to figure out which precious words to take out to make it exactly 100. I'm telling you, like 104 words was the bane of my existence there for a while. I probably still have so much of the story memorized just because i had to read each drabble over and over again. At the same time, it was an amazing challenge to my writing because it really came down to which words to leave in or take out or how to change a whole sentence just so i could take out 1 or 2 more words. The word count was actually really helpful because it let me just do the scenes that i wanted to do and i didn't have to pull them together with much extra plot or description. Then again, I had to make sure everything I wanted came across in so few words, and I did have to make some sacrifices of things I wanted to include. oh, and can i tell how frustrating it was that ( ... )

Question: So, at least in the case of your Kirk/McCoy fics, McCoy seems to basically be channeling me. ARE YOU STEALING MY BRAINWAVES WOMAN?! I guess the more serious angle is, is that how he just comes out when you write him, or is he also somewhat influenced by someone from your life? (Feel free to illuminate if is the case for any of the other characters as well. ;))

Comment: I just want you to know how fucking funny your work is. A month ago or thereabouts, I was reading Jim Kirk's Massive Cock, but it was like three in the morning and my roommates were sleeping, so I had to enjoy it quietly rather than laugh raucously at all the hilarity. Once, something was so funny that I tried to respond in the form of pounding my fist on the desk. But I kind of missed and swiped it on the metal edge of retractable surface. It drew blood and left a mark there for a few weeks and it's ALL YOUR FAULT. So there you have it: your humorous writing is so fucking hilarious that it actually injures people.

HA HA HA! I love your comment/story!! I mean, I'm really sorry that I made you injure yourself! But at the same time, I can't help but be a little proud :-D Mostly I just hope that whenever you see the scar, you think of Jim Kirk's Massive Cock (either the story or the actual, ya know, thing). But anyway, thanks for telling me that, totally made my day ( ... )

Well, by now it's healed over, and I admit, I was sad to see it go, because everytime I saw it and thought about it, I thought of that and the good times. XD That and there was always the temptation to brandish it at people and demand, "Do you know what this is from?!?!!" and after they alarmedly stumbled for an answer, declare "SLASHFIC!!" I never did that though. But it would've been funny ( ... )
