Hello everybody!

It's my turn to bask in the glow over at writersonmars , and I've just finished posting my answers H E R E. If you want to know more about me as a LoM fic writer, check it out.

Oh! *goes read*

By the way, I'll be sending you Teachers next week (finished school and now I'm taking courses, and couldn't send it before)

Have a great weekend! :)

Thank you, darling. Hope you have a great weekend, too! :)

Hola guapa,

yo y mi marido estamos pensando ir a Barcelona para ver un cliente en la semana del 21-25 julio (serán dos días de aquella semana, pero aún no sé exactamente cuales). Si estás libre, nos gustaría muchísimo conocerte personalmente y comer algo junto a ti. ¿Qué dices? *makes pleading eyes*

Nota: no sé si alioli vive cerca de Barcelona o no, pero un día me gustaría ver a ella también. Si supiera donde está, podría llamar a ella también (ahora, o la próxima vez que estamos en España). ¿Sabes en que ciudad vive?

Gracias y saludos.

Hee, hola!

Ay, pues esos días no voy a estar :( El martes que viene (15 julio) me marcho a ver a mis padres a Mallorca. El 24 me voy de vacaciones a Inglaterra, y no volveré a Barcelona hasta el 31 de agosto.

Lástima, porque me encantaría. A partir de setiembre y durante el curso escolar (hasta junio, exceptuando vacaciones) estoy siempre en Barcelona.

alioli vivió en Barcelona durante un año, pero por desgracia ahora vive en Vigo, cerca de la frontera con Portugal. Seguro que si vais allí estará encantada de quedar :)

De nada, aquí estamos (lástima que no en julio)!

Oh, I loved reading your answers! I don't write myself, see, but I love reading about what inspires people to do it so I enjoyed your explanation about the way you write, in concentric circles. :D It sounds pretty awesome (in the sense that, it must be nice to start from a scene you love and build everything else from that point on, it must feel less scary that having a plot all planned in your mind).

Also, am super jealous of your being able to write in a foreign language. I get self conscious enough just writing comments, and so I tend to be a little passive in English-speaking fandoms, which is a shame. Particularly in this fandom, which is so Lovely. :)

[space_oddity_75]

I usually start writing the scenes I prefer because I fear that words would fail me if I started writing something else and came to that point only later on, therefore losing my inspiration. (Am I making any sense?)

The LoM fandom is fantastic, and that's one of the reasons why I'm not so scared to write for it. Everybody is nice and helpful, and all the beta readers I've had so far have been wonderful. They've all made me feel good and accepted even if my fics are not masterpieces. In fact, there are other foreign writers who write LoM fic in English much better than me, but I don't feel intimidated by them. On the contrary, their example gives me the strength to improve and study to learn something new every day. :)

I think you are making loads of sense. :) It sounds a bit like you just write there and then whenever you get inspired, to jump the gap between the scene-on-your-mind and the scene-in-the page, because if you wrote the same scene later on it would be a different one! Right? Interesting! :D

I guess it goes with the character, I've never been terribly good at speaking languages to native speakers (which is ridiculous, since I find non-native speakers of Spanish adorable myself). Oh well, silly me, I'm too shy for my own good. I think it's fantastic that you write in English, anyway, and I'll have to read some more of your fics (I only read one so far, I think!). If you ever want to write in Spanish, well, you know where I am! *wink wink nudge nudge* :D

Exactly! It's not the best way to write, I know... but I can't help it. As I said, I'm not a planner, I could never sit down with a piece of paper and write a story from start to finish. It's just beyond my abilities.

If you ever want to write in Spanish, well, you know where I am!

Hehe, thanks for the offering, darling! I doubt I'll ever be as fluent in Spanish as I am in English, but if I ever decide to give it a go, you'll be the first one to know! :)

In the meantime, if you want to read my other fics, just click the 'fanfiction' tag in my LJ and you'll find all six of them. I'm really interested in your opinion.
