phoenixdragon asked: 1. Describe yourself how you would describe a character you’re introducing.

Trying to answer this question makes it glaringly clear how bad I am in describing my characters! I find it really difficult to put in a visual description without it sounding stilted, which means tha main character almost never gets a good physical description. And I don’t say much about other characteristics as well- I’ll let their actions and dialogue tell that story. So I don’t have a very good answer, obviously...

maybe and nenya_kanadka asked: 3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?

Surprisingly hard to answer! I like to write villains (to no surprise to anyone who has read my fics) and I don’t care much for white-washing them. I enjoy writing angst and horror a lot- it’s very cathartic. I like to write a protagonist who survives by relying on themselves. And I’m growing more and more fond of writing more humorous fics that usually are gen-fics.

velvetwhip and flo_nejla asked: 6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot)

A Peter Pan-fic pairing Captain Hook with an adult Wendy Darling called Wedding Night. Hook turns up on Wendy’s wedding night intent on revenge, and it does not have a happy ending. I shocked myself with writing a very dark fic with lots of non-con and blood. I don’t have it in any fanfic archives anymore, just on LJ. Consider yourself warned if you read it.

misura asked: 7. Inspiration, time, or motivation. Choose two.

Inspiration comes from all over. Lyrics, piece of lyrics, a picture or a prompt. Often I don’t know where it comes from too, I just get a sentence or an idea and spin on it from there.

I try to have a set time for writing every day, even if it just end up being 15 minutes. Often I write snatches of dialogue, or a plot turn rather randomly when I sit at the computer and do other stuff. I can write most of a fic under several short time periods, but when I finish it I like to sit down and work uninterrupted.

nenya_kanadka asked: 9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?

Not true fiction, no, at least not novels. I’m not very good at plots, most of my stories are character driven and most of my fics focus on just one or two characters. I’ve written a few vampire stories which isn’t necessarily fanfiction as Dracula is an established mythological character and a lot of novels have been written about him. But I doubt I will ever write anything like a novel.

I do write nonfiction, though. I have written several articles that I have been paid for.

flo_nejla and nenya_kanadka asked: 11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?

No idea! I guess other people could say I write weird stuff, but it never felt that way for me.

liatdbunny and lexigentasked: 14. Your favorite side pairings to put in?

I never hear about side pairings before, but I assume it means other pairing sin a story apart from the main characters. And I don’t have any. I have a few stories with a OT3, but none with another set of pairings.

flo_nejla and paynesgrey asked: 15. Your guilty writing pleasure?

At times I write “extra” scenes for fics that are too explicit or deviates too much from the story to fit it, but I write them down just because of the fun of it. But I don’t feel guilty over doing that. I don’t think I have any guilty writing pleasures, really, just writing pleasures.

craescendo asked: 16. Do you have structured ideas of how your story is supposed to go, or do you make it up as you write?

Yes I do. I almost always know the beginning and end when I start to write and most of the in between. Sometimes I write down a synopsis, but usually just for longer fics or if I don’t have time to sit down and write it at once. This doesn’t meant stories don’t evolve, though, and I let them. But mostly my first ideas hold up, even if I have changed an ending occasionally.

phoenixdragon and nenya_kanadka asked: 20. Four sentences from your work that you’re proud of.

Eeep! This was much harder than anticipated! I don’t know if these are the best ones,- I’m sure they are not, but I remember being very pleased with the as I wrote them:

“Not so much an oncoming storm as a furious whirlwind, unpredictable and destructive, but still, somehow she had stepped right into the eye of the tornado where it was calm and safe.” (Sliding Down the Razorblades of Life, Doctor Who)

“The Master said something in such a low voice she couldn’t make out what he was saying, but she caught Peter’s indrawn breath, it almost sounded like a sob.” (Professor Keller, Doctor Who)

“It’s a perfume both intensely cold and with scorching heat and it is as difficult to pinpoint and sort out as the woman who wears it.” (Bittersweet, Penny Dreadful)

“You plan to feed your demons to the death with delicious cakes?” (A Place In the Shadows, Penny Dreadful)
