12 - Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?

Alas,no. And I should. Although there's an awful lot of Jane Austen-style-HP stuff out there.

Ohhhh - Severus/Hermione as the Assassination Bureau. ***plots***

11 - Genre - do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?Would it surprise anyone to find out that doggrell seems to come highest on my list? I do fairly well at a silly descriptive poem all about naughty nights in Hogwarts ( Read more... )

10 - Pairings - Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't write, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?

I deliberately went outside my comfort zone for Reliable, and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked out. Dragon Taming is Charlie/Neville, and that too surprisingly ( Read more... )

9 - Pairings - For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?OK, now this is getting difficult. Skip Torchwood. Skip Castle. Let's go HP, of course. Pairings - I'd like to spend more time on Canon stuff. So Lucius/Narcissa, for one. And an odd one - Dobby/Kreacher - I wonder just how those two would have got ( Read more... )

8 - Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they're not Mary Sues, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs.

Ohhh, I've been waiting for this question.

Yes. And I wrote two stories particularly for the "Not a Mary Sue" Challenge on marysues (the challenge fizzled but the stories got done ( Read more... )

7 - Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?

One I've written or one I've read? Writing Reliable made me much more understanding about Aunt Petunia. And reading a lot of fanfics that point out how unfair Dumbledore and McGonagall are to Slytherin has made me a lot less sympathetic towards both of them.

6 - When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?Usually I prefer male characters, because I can write them more straightforwardly. Females I write are supposed to be strong (thanks, Beckett and Hermione), and I have extreme problems writing fluff ( Read more... )

5 -If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?Sometimes. Not often. Sometimes the perfect line will come up and none of the set of characters I'm playing with then is the right person to say it, so there will be a walk-past line delivery. But it's rare ( Read more... )

4 - Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?In one simple word - no ( Read more... )

3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?Harry Potter - a hard choice. I love Hermione as she reminds me of me. Someone once told me that watching characters lose status is always interesting, so in some ways that's Lucius Malfoy. But what I adore is writing the odd ones. The story I like the most that I ( Read more... )
