When did your write your first "Fanfiction" piece?:
I wrote a putrid Dragonriders of Pern fic when I was thirteen, but I only wrote one page, so I don't think it counts. I wrote Thick as Space, Cold as Blood when I was 18/19. It shows, too. Bleh.
What was it for?:
Voltron: Defender of the Universe
Did you actually post it anywhere?:
Yes. I built a website around it. O_o
What series have you written fanfics for? (both posted stories, and non-posted stories):
Voltron, Gundam Wing, Harry Potter, Marmalade Boy (if one songfilk counts), and LotR (movieverse). I have a partially written Hana Yori Dango story, too.
Any Original Characters (ones that got named) that you had inhabit the series universes? If so- who/where? (yes, this is where we embarrass you by revealing your dark secrets!):
So many! Ekatia Alexana, Juna Ophira, Ariel Nema, Solin Darek, Erik Bjornsen, Hoshi, Johanna Renault, Brahal Brashia (Voltron); Billy Eagle, the bad politicians on L-2, Tatu Thenashara, Spook, Helen Maxwell (Gundam Wing); Nicholas and Sylvie Lupin, Remus' French relatives, Electra Black, Catriona Lynton, Maddin Mayfair, Fenn Mac Tire, Charlotte Potter, Sandra Macnair, Footpad (Harry Potter)
If you had the chance to have the original creator turn any of your fanfics into an actual *real* piece, which story would you choose?
Only one? The one I'm writing where Sirius comes back from beyond the veil so he can be a lover to Remus and a father figure to Harry. Oh, of ones I've written already... PS... I suppose, since it confirms Sirius/Remus, illustrates a time in Sirius' life when he was truly happy, sees Harry corresponding with Remus and finding some closure, even though it hurts.
Do you have any weird music quirks that help you write?
No. I mean, I need music when I write, but there's nothing weird about it.
What are common "themes" you hide in your stories?
Fraternal and sisterly (I don't know the other word!) love, redemption, romantic love. There are probably more, but those are the ones I think of first.
What are your favorite characters to write POVs from?
Lance from Voltron; Hilde, Dorothy, Trowa, and Quatre from Gundam Wing; Sirius, Remus, James, and Ron from Harry Potter.
What story of yours do you wish more people would read and love?
She Will Have Music. I've had so few reviews for it, and I actually think it's one of my best stories. There's no romance, but still. It has one of my favorite endings, and one of my favorite interpretations (I guess you'd call it that) of Sirius' childhood.
If you could pick a specific scene of your story to be made into a comic-book/doujinshi format, what scene from what fanfic would you pick?
Only one? Maybe the penultimate scene from Misguided Angels, where Trowa grabs Quatre and kisses him, and Sally and Noin ride off together. Or the midnight ice cream party at the Burrow in Every Little Thing because Percy, Fred, George, Ron, and Ginny are in their pyjamas and getting along. :) Or the big fight scene at the end of Thick as Space, Cold as Blood because it's just so cliched and dramatic, and there are two Svens.
And last but not least- Why do you like writing fanfiction?
Because it's fun to think "What if...?" And because I want more from these characters/worlds than the creator is giving me.
ETA:
I can deal with Hagrid watching, so long as he doesn't say anything as so long as I get Sirius and the twins in cowboy hats. My other results were just horrific. >__
