Author List! (round 6)
Two things first.
1) Anonymity has always been an unwritten rule at cya_ficathon, and it's my own fault for not writing it. This once, a link to an author's work will be allowed, because it's really necessary to what she is offering to write. However, for the seventh round anonymity will be a requirement.
2) This one will be put to vote. Should participants who fail to write their assignment be allowed to re-enter 'Choose your Author'? Most of you know that I'm a very patient ficathon-mommy. If necessary, I can wait for weeks after the deadline; but what happens when the story never comes? I've had several complaints from the last couple of rounds - actually, it's one of the main reasons why CyA didn't open for over a year - and the choices are now these:
- a) Yes, they should be allowed to come back - no limits.
- b) No. If they fail once, they should go.
- c) They can be given a second chance. (Meaning: if you don't write a story, you can sign up on the next round. But if you miss that second story, you'll be banned.)
This, of course, does NOT apply to those who tell me they need to drop out before the deadline. OR to those who find their own back-up writer. ;)
PLEASE attach your vote (a, b or c) to your request. Thanks!
***
a) Revise your own ‘profile’. Tell me if there’s something missing or you want to change/add anything.
b) Choose THREE authors (no more, please no less)
c) Reply to this post with your requests (max. 3, one per author). Comments are screened.

(Request)
The average request is:
Characters/Pairings you want the story to focus in.
Characters/Pairings you want in the story too.
Things you want: setting, timeline, quotes, specific objects...
Things you don’t want: characters, pairings, angst, fluff...
Extras: highest rating, genre...
Make sure the request fits the author.
- THANK YOU to everyone who said yes to the back-up question. *hugs* I hope I won't have to knock your doors, but it's a real relief to know someone can help if needed.
d) Yes, you can have the same request for two (or the three) authors.
e) I’d like your replies by Tuesday (29th) night.
f) The ‘official deadline’ is July 15th. However, you can email me the link to your betaed story and I’ll link to it from the masterlist.
Happy Choosing!
I delete authors from the list as they get four fitting requests, so please make sure your choice is still up for grabs before you post - or I'll tell you to choose again. Thank you!

Comments: I especially like to write fics set in different locales/events throughout history- that's one reason I write an AR with the concept that Angelus never became ensouled and the family stayed together. I very much like to include a little plot with my porn and to include dark humour and unexpected twists. And my 'kinks' are pretty kinky. I would prefer not to do forced feminisation but beyond that pretty much anything goes.

06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... Darla, Fred
07) Unconventional Pairings? Sure.
08) Slash Pairings? Not unless they're canon or crackfic.

17) How much do you want to be challenged? I can't choose! Either extreme would be great.
Comments: I love drabbles and five-things fics, and I tend to be canon-compliant.
Author 11
01) Genre(s): Mostly Fluffy.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: Smut, not so good at Romantic Romance, and my Angst tends to be a tad overwrought.
03) Highest rating: G, PG, PG-13--possibly R.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Spuffy, Spawn and non-romanitc Dawn/Andrew.
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: I'm most comfortable and confindent with those pairings but would be willing to try another pair (or two!).
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... B/A, perhaps Giles and Joyce.
07) Unconventional Pairings? I would be willing to try, can't promise it would be any good, though.
08) Slash Pairings? I would prefer not to, but it would only be a G - GP-13 rating.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Sure.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): I've read some. It could be fun.
11) Crossovers? I'd be willing to try. BtVS/Firefly, pre-Serenity, please. BtVS or Firefly/T:SCC, again, pre-Serenity. (I want Wash! I want Shepherd!)
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: Well, I have most of the episodes of BtVS on tape, but not all. Season 7 is safe--I think. But, you know, I could always consult the transcripts.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? BtVS. I don't know Angel so well.
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? No.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: None.
16) How long would your story be? 1000. Maybe a little over if absolutely needed.
17) How much do you want to be challenged? Hey, last time I had to do Spike/clipboard/briefcase. I'm open. ;-)
Author 12
01) Genre(s): Not as good with the angst or lots of action but can certainly sprinkle those in without much problem.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: None really.
03) Highest rating: I'll write any, but normally I keep it 'R' or lower.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Buffy/Angel
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: No.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... If I had to choose I'd say Faith/Angel or Willow/Angel
07) Unconventional Pairings? Possibly? Not the answer you were looking for is it? *G* I'm pretty flexible, so I'd lean more towards yes than no.
08) Slash Pairings? No. I don't have anything against it, it's just nothing I'm good at writing.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Absolutely!
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): Definitely! This is my strong suit.
11) Crossovers? Yes. Supernatural, it's the only other fandom I've had much experience writing in.
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: I'm much more familiar with BtVS seasons 1-4 than anything so those would be preferred but I'm always game for a challenge.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? I can do characters from both, if you are wanting a fic placed specifically in a season I'm better with BtVS seasons 1-4 and AtS season 1, though I have watched all seasons of both shows at least once.
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? No.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: I've wrote just about everything at some point, but I'd prefer to stay away from Buffy/Spike, unless it would be in the context of a *past* relationship.
16) How long would your story be? I'm good for at least 2,500 words.
17) How much do you want to be challenged? I love challenges! Objects/phrases/specific characters that are to be included are awesome! A detailed request is great! As long as the requester understands that I will do my best to follow it as closely as possible there have been times that certain details were omitted in a fic on accident, which I'm sure could easily happen again.
Comments: I'm looking for a challenge and something to really spark my muse!

13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? Well I guess I would have to say both since my focus is on the pairing of Buffy/Angel

15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Conner/Dawn; Conner/Buffy; Buffy/Giles
16) How long would your story be? It depends on what the situation calls for. I usually go long though.

06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... Uhm...no clue. Pretty much give me anything.
07) Unconventional Pairings? Yeah.
08) Slash Pairings? F/F, yes. M/m would be a little harder, but I'd be willing to try.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Yes.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): No.

14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? Nope.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Uhm...I just don't have a feel for Xander. So anything with him is probably a no-go.

17) How much do you want to be challenged? Challenge me.
Author 26
01) Genre(s): Almost everything
02) Genre(s) you do not write:Never say never, but I’m not really into noncon, incest, chan, etc.
03) Highest rating: NC-17
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Spike/Buffy
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: OK, here’s where it gets complicated. Pretty much everything I write is part of a continuing AR series that departs from canon after The Gift. I’m willing to write anything that will fit into that AR, at any time period from as far back as you like to 2050, when rocks fall and everyone dies. So if you want a Spike/Dru historical set in the 1940s, or a Xander/Cordelia S3 fic, or Dawn-insert fic, or Giles gen futurefic… as long as it fits into the already established events and pairings of that AR, I’m willing to give it a shot. There’s a timeline of major events here.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... See above. There are some pairings that are pretty much set in stone in this ‘verse (Spike and Buffy, for example) but there are a lot of characters who have long periods of time in which they are unattached, or their attachments haven’t been determined, in which Things Might Happen. Bear in mind that I try to write the characters pretty close to canon, so my base assumptions are that Giles, for example, is not sekritly pining after, for example, Xander, even though he most likely had an affair with Ethan at one point.
07) Unconventional Pairings? See above.
08) Slash Pairings? See above.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): See above.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): Nope.
11) Crossovers? Nope.
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: I’d rather not do episode-fill-in stories.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? BtVS
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? N/A
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: See above.
16) How long would your story be?
17) How much do you want to be challenged? Um… be gentle with me?
Author 28
01) Genre(s): Almost everything, see next question.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: PWP, Fluff
03) Highest rating: I have written NC-17, but I'm more comfortable with R or lower.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Xander, Giles, Wesley, Spike
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: Nope, I like writing most anyone. Those are just the ones whose voices I think I have down super-well
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... Hmm, I still feel really experimental writing Dawn and I like her a lot. No particular pairing.
07) Unconventional Pairings? Yes
08) Slash Pairings? Yes, both
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Yes, I love these.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): No
11) Crossovers? Absolutely. With any of these: Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Moonlight, New Amsterdam, The West Wing, Eli Stone, Heroes, and any of the CSIs
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: Any
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? Both
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? No
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Giles/Xander, Xander/Faith, Angel/Gunn, Anya, Fred
16) How long would your story be? up to 5000 words
17) How much do you want to be challenged? Something in between, please.
Author 29
01) Genre(s): Gen, romance, humor
02) Genre(s) you do not write: Heavy angst and dark!fic
03) Highest rating: Well, it kinda depends on the pairing. Buffy/Spike and Ethan/Giles are all adults, so would probably be higher rated than Cordy/Connor, for example.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: I write Spike, Andrew and Harmony frequently, but I also can write most of the characters, except I'm not really good with Oz; about the only characters I don't write are Kennedy and Eve.
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: Oh, no. I like variety.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... NOT Bangel or ConCord!
07) Unconventional Pairings? Sure.
08) Slash Pairings? Sure, or at least M/M pairings. I've never written F/F.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Sure.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): Probably not so much. I'm a canon whore, but don't mind spinning off from canon at any point. Although, I have written one All-Human fic, when the request was for Xander/Angel, and I just couldn't hook them up in canon, due to Xander's long-standing dislike of vampires in general and Angel in particular, so I made them both human.
11) Crossovers? Bones, Labyrinth, Star Trek: TOS, Highlander
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: I don't feel like doing episodic fics at the moment, and I'd prefer Seasons 4-7 and especially post-series fics.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? Both
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? Sorry, no. I think "comic-canon" is pants.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Buffy/Angel, Connor/Cordelia, Willow/Kennedy, Lindsey/Eve
16) How long would your story be? Don't know at present; I'd have to receive the assignment, think it out, outline the plot and see how many words it takes me to get where I want to go. *g*
17) How much do you want to be challenged? In-between
Author 30
01) Genre(s): everything, really. I excel at comedy and angst (go figure), but I can do others.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: Drama and Romance are my least written genres, but I can do them.
03) Highest rating: hard-R to NC-17
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Anya, Dawn, Willow, Xander, Illyria, Buffy, Harmony. I can also do a pretty good Spike, Angel, Faith, Fred. And possibly more that I'm not thinking about.
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: Nah. I pretty much like everyone who is a fairly major character - Harmony is about as minor as I get, so I don't want to write someone like Gwen or Nina (from Angel) or Kendra (from BtVS). I like my characters to have at least 5 or so episodes so I can get to know them. Also, I don't currently have access to BtVS S3, so if any character occurs solely in S3, I'll not be able to do them at this time.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... Anything. I am weird pairings 'r' us.
07) Unconventional Pairings? You bet!
08) Slash Pairings? I actually prefer it - both m/m and f/f - but I'll do het as well.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Yes
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): I suppose, but I'd rather do something mostly tied to the canon world.
11) Crossovers? Possibly, depending on which other fandom characters you wanted. With HP, I'll do Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna or Snape. In Heroes, I'll do Peter, Niki/Jessica, Micah or Nathan. In NCIS, I'll do Gibbs, Abby and Ziva.
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: Comics from BtVS OR Ats. Alternately, BtVS S4-7 or Ats S5.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? Usually, BtVS, but I can do Ats as well.
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? I might, but I try to keep canon-compliant stories understandable by the masses.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Buffy/Angel. Connor/Cordy. Wes/anyone but Fred.
16) How long would your story be? There's no telling. Likely between 1500 and 3500 words.
17) How much do you want to be challenged? I'm good with crazy pairings, and REALLY enjoy that kind of challenge. I'm not the strongest plot-writer, ever, though, so no crazy plots that I'll have to flail about and tear out my hair to manage.

1) Anonymity has always been an unwritten rule at cya_ficathon, and it's my own fault for not writing it. This once, a link to an author's work will be allowed, because it's really necessary to what she is offering to write. However, for the seventh round anonymity will be a requirement.
2) This one will be put to vote. Should participants who fail to write their assignment be allowed to re-enter 'Choose your Author'? Most of you know that I'm a very patient ficathon-mommy. If necessary, I can wait for weeks after the deadline; but what happens when the story never comes? I've had several complaints from the last couple of rounds - actually, it's one of the main reasons why CyA didn't open for over a year - and the choices are now these:
- a) Yes, they should be allowed to come back - no limits.
- b) No. If they fail once, they should go.
- c) They can be given a second chance. (Meaning: if you don't write a story, you can sign up on the next round. But if you miss that second story, you'll be banned.)
This, of course, does NOT apply to those who tell me they need to drop out before the deadline. OR to those who find their own back-up writer. ;)
PLEASE attach your vote (a, b or c) to your request. Thanks!
***
a) Revise your own ‘profile’. Tell me if there’s something missing or you want to change/add anything.
b) Choose THREE authors (no more, please no less)
c) Reply to this post with your requests (max. 3, one per author). Comments are screened.

(Request)
The average request is:
Characters/Pairings you want the story to focus in.
Characters/Pairings you want in the story too.
Things you want: setting, timeline, quotes, specific objects...
Things you don’t want: characters, pairings, angst, fluff...
Extras: highest rating, genre...
Make sure the request fits the author.
- THANK YOU to everyone who said yes to the back-up question. *hugs* I hope I won't have to knock your doors, but it's a real relief to know someone can help if needed.
d) Yes, you can have the same request for two (or the three) authors.
e) I’d like your replies by Tuesday (29th) night.
f) The ‘official deadline’ is July 15th. However, you can email me the link to your betaed story and I’ll link to it from the masterlist.
Happy Choosing!
I delete authors from the list as they get four fitting requests, so please make sure your choice is still up for grabs before you post - or I'll tell you to choose again. Thank you!

Comments: I especially like to write fics set in different locales/events throughout history- that's one reason I write an AR with the concept that Angelus never became ensouled and the family stayed together. I very much like to include a little plot with my porn and to include dark humour and unexpected twists. And my 'kinks' are pretty kinky. I would prefer not to do forced feminisation but beyond that pretty much anything goes.

07) Unconventional Pairings? Sure.
08) Slash Pairings? Not unless they're canon or crackfic.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Yes.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): Yes, except for high-school all-human AUs.

16) How long would your story be? 500-1500
17) How much do you want to be challenged? I can't choose! Either extreme would be great.
Comments: I love drabbles and five-things fics, and I tend to be canon-compliant.
Author 11
01) Genre(s): Mostly Fluffy.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: Smut, not so good at Romantic Romance, and my Angst tends to be a tad overwrought.
03) Highest rating: G, PG, PG-13--possibly R.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Spuffy, Spawn and non-romanitc Dawn/Andrew.
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: I'm most comfortable and confindent with those pairings but would be willing to try another pair (or two!).
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... B/A, perhaps Giles and Joyce.
07) Unconventional Pairings? I would be willing to try, can't promise it would be any good, though.
08) Slash Pairings? I would prefer not to, but it would only be a G - GP-13 rating.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Sure.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): I've read some. It could be fun.
11) Crossovers? I'd be willing to try. BtVS/Firefly, pre-Serenity, please. BtVS or Firefly/T:SCC, again, pre-Serenity. (I want Wash! I want Shepherd!)
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: Well, I have most of the episodes of BtVS on tape, but not all. Season 7 is safe--I think. But, you know, I could always consult the transcripts.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? BtVS. I don't know Angel so well.
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? No.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: None.
16) How long would your story be? 1000. Maybe a little over if absolutely needed.
17) How much do you want to be challenged? Hey, last time I had to do Spike/clipboard/briefcase. I'm open. ;-)
Author 12
01) Genre(s): Not as good with the angst or lots of action but can certainly sprinkle those in without much problem.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: None really.
03) Highest rating: I'll write any, but normally I keep it 'R' or lower.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Buffy/Angel
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: No.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... If I had to choose I'd say Faith/Angel or Willow/Angel
07) Unconventional Pairings? Possibly? Not the answer you were looking for is it? *G* I'm pretty flexible, so I'd lean more towards yes than no.
08) Slash Pairings? No. I don't have anything against it, it's just nothing I'm good at writing.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Absolutely!
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): Definitely! This is my strong suit.
11) Crossovers? Yes. Supernatural, it's the only other fandom I've had much experience writing in.
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: I'm much more familiar with BtVS seasons 1-4 than anything so those would be preferred but I'm always game for a challenge.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? I can do characters from both, if you are wanting a fic placed specifically in a season I'm better with BtVS seasons 1-4 and AtS season 1, though I have watched all seasons of both shows at least once.
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? No.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: I've wrote just about everything at some point, but I'd prefer to stay away from Buffy/Spike, unless it would be in the context of a *past* relationship.
16) How long would your story be? I'm good for at least 2,500 words.
17) How much do you want to be challenged? I love challenges! Objects/phrases/specific characters that are to be included are awesome! A detailed request is great! As long as the requester understands that I will do my best to follow it as closely as possible there have been times that certain details were omitted in a fic on accident, which I'm sure could easily happen again.
Comments: I'm looking for a challenge and something to really spark my muse!

Author 16

15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Conner/Dawn; Conner/Buffy; Buffy/Giles
16) How long would your story be? It depends on what the situation calls for. I usually go long though.

Author 26
01) Genre(s): Almost everything
02) Genre(s) you do not write:Never say never, but I’m not really into noncon, incest, chan, etc.
03) Highest rating: NC-17
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Spike/Buffy
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: OK, here’s where it gets complicated. Pretty much everything I write is part of a continuing AR series that departs from canon after The Gift. I’m willing to write anything that will fit into that AR, at any time period from as far back as you like to 2050, when rocks fall and everyone dies. So if you want a Spike/Dru historical set in the 1940s, or a Xander/Cordelia S3 fic, or Dawn-insert fic, or Giles gen futurefic… as long as it fits into the already established events and pairings of that AR, I’m willing to give it a shot. There’s a timeline of major events here.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... See above. There are some pairings that are pretty much set in stone in this ‘verse (Spike and Buffy, for example) but there are a lot of characters who have long periods of time in which they are unattached, or their attachments haven’t been determined, in which Things Might Happen. Bear in mind that I try to write the characters pretty close to canon, so my base assumptions are that Giles, for example, is not sekritly pining after, for example, Xander, even though he most likely had an affair with Ethan at one point.
07) Unconventional Pairings? See above.
08) Slash Pairings? See above.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): See above.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): Nope.
11) Crossovers? Nope.
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: I’d rather not do episode-fill-in stories.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? BtVS
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? N/A
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: See above.
16) How long would your story be?
17) How much do you want to be challenged? Um… be gentle with me?
Author 28
01) Genre(s): Almost everything, see next question.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: PWP, Fluff
03) Highest rating: I have written NC-17, but I'm more comfortable with R or lower.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Xander, Giles, Wesley, Spike
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: Nope, I like writing most anyone. Those are just the ones whose voices I think I have down super-well
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... Hmm, I still feel really experimental writing Dawn and I like her a lot. No particular pairing.
07) Unconventional Pairings? Yes
08) Slash Pairings? Yes, both
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Yes, I love these.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): No
11) Crossovers? Absolutely. With any of these: Stargate: SG-1, Stargate: Atlantis, Moonlight, New Amsterdam, The West Wing, Eli Stone, Heroes, and any of the CSIs
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: Any
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? Both
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? No
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Giles/Xander, Xander/Faith, Angel/Gunn, Anya, Fred
16) How long would your story be? up to 5000 words
17) How much do you want to be challenged? Something in between, please.
Author 29
01) Genre(s): Gen, romance, humor
02) Genre(s) you do not write: Heavy angst and dark!fic
03) Highest rating: Well, it kinda depends on the pairing. Buffy/Spike and Ethan/Giles are all adults, so would probably be higher rated than Cordy/Connor, for example.
04) Favourite characters/pairings: I write Spike, Andrew and Harmony frequently, but I also can write most of the characters, except I'm not really good with Oz; about the only characters I don't write are Kennedy and Eve.
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: Oh, no. I like variety.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... NOT Bangel or ConCord!
07) Unconventional Pairings? Sure.
08) Slash Pairings? Sure, or at least M/M pairings. I've never written F/F.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Sure.
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): Probably not so much. I'm a canon whore, but don't mind spinning off from canon at any point. Although, I have written one All-Human fic, when the request was for Xander/Angel, and I just couldn't hook them up in canon, due to Xander's long-standing dislike of vampires in general and Angel in particular, so I made them both human.
11) Crossovers? Bones, Labyrinth, Star Trek: TOS, Highlander
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: I don't feel like doing episodic fics at the moment, and I'd prefer Seasons 4-7 and especially post-series fics.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? Both
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? Sorry, no. I think "comic-canon" is pants.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Buffy/Angel, Connor/Cordelia, Willow/Kennedy, Lindsey/Eve
16) How long would your story be? Don't know at present; I'd have to receive the assignment, think it out, outline the plot and see how many words it takes me to get where I want to go. *g*
17) How much do you want to be challenged? In-between
Author 30
01) Genre(s): everything, really. I excel at comedy and angst (go figure), but I can do others.
02) Genre(s) you do not write: Drama and Romance are my least written genres, but I can do them.
03) Highest rating: hard-R to NC-17
04) Favourite characters/pairings: Anya, Dawn, Willow, Xander, Illyria, Buffy, Harmony. I can also do a pretty good Spike, Angel, Faith, Fred. And possibly more that I'm not thinking about.
05) Do you only write those characters/pairings and don't want to write anything else?: Nah. I pretty much like everyone who is a fairly major character - Harmony is about as minor as I get, so I don't want to write someone like Gwen or Nina (from Angel) or Kendra (from BtVS). I like my characters to have at least 5 or so episodes so I can get to know them. Also, I don't currently have access to BtVS S3, so if any character occurs solely in S3, I'll not be able to do them at this time.
06) If there's a character/pairing you'd like to experiment with, it'd be... Anything. I am weird pairings 'r' us.
07) Unconventional Pairings? You bet!
08) Slash Pairings? I actually prefer it - both m/m and f/f - but I'll do het as well.
09) Alternate Reality (strays from canon at one point): Yes
10) Alternate Universe (has very loose connections to canon or none at all. Includes 'Everyone's Human fic'): I suppose, but I'd rather do something mostly tied to the canon world.
11) Crossovers? Possibly, depending on which other fandom characters you wanted. With HP, I'll do Harry, Ron, Hermione, Luna or Snape. In Heroes, I'll do Peter, Niki/Jessica, Micah or Nathan. In NCIS, I'll do Gibbs, Abby and Ziva.
12) Episode/season you would focus in it'd be: Comics from BtVS OR Ats. Alternately, BtVS S4-7 or Ats S5.
13) Your focus is AtS, BtVS or both? Usually, BtVS, but I can do Ats as well.
14) Would you include the comic-canon into your story? I might, but I try to keep canon-compliant stories understandable by the masses.
15) Characters/pairings you do NOT write?: Buffy/Angel. Connor/Cordy. Wes/anyone but Fred.
16) How long would your story be? There's no telling. Likely between 1500 and 3500 words.
17) How much do you want to be challenged? I'm good with crazy pairings, and REALLY enjoy that kind of challenge. I'm not the strongest plot-writer, ever, though, so no crazy plots that I'll have to flail about and tear out my hair to manage.
