A Writing meme

Stolen from Samtyr

1. Which is your favorite of the fics you’ve written for X fandom?
I think I like my long Sherlock Holmes tales the most. The Case of the Stolen Heart and The Case of the Yankee spinster

2. Favorite piece overall?
See above.

3. Which was the hardest to write, in terms of plot?
No Safe Place

4. Which has the most “you” in it, however you’d define that?
All of them or none of them. Take your pick.

5. What is an image/set of images that you’re particularly proud of?
Not sure what this means, to be honest.

6. Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?
A long biofic thing about Gil-galad.

7. Least favorite plot point/chapter/moment?
Not sure. I don’t write it if I don’t want it there.

8. Favorite plot point/chapter/moment?
I loved who the kidnapper was in Wrapped in an Enigma

9. Favorite character to write?
Celeborn usually. He feels like an old friend.

10. Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you’ve written:
I’ve written something like 2000 stories… hard to remember it all.

11. If I’m showing off just one of your pieces to someone, which one should it be?
Which one do YOU like the best? I’d be thrilled to know.

12. What WIPs do you have going now? Are you excited about them?
My OEAM Big Bang is still a WIP and that’s about it. Got lots of little snippets that could turn into fiction.

13. Are there any things that might have happened in any of your stories, but you changed them at the last minute? In every Big Bang I’ve written, I have plotted the story one way then ended up having it highjacked by the characters.

14. Would you want to write canon for any of your fandoms (like be hired by showrunner to do an episode)? Which one?
Oh yes!! Love to do a couple of special canon Sherlock Holmes stories.

15. Does font matter to you when you’re writing a draft?
I don’t do drafts.

16. 3 favorite comments ever received on fanfic.
Really? No idea. .Well, one sticks out: a wonderful woman named Gayle wrote to me about my one Brokeback Mountain fic (A Friend of Mine) made her cry as much as the movie did and that it was the perfect ending.

17. Any mean comments? How’d you deal with it? Who laid the smackdown?
Not really. When I first started writing fanfic, I was accused of plagiarism but I did not plagiarize. Also someone told me that one of my long Sherlock mysteries had the wrong killer. I asked them to write me back to discuss it but never heard anything.

18. If you could go back and revise one of your older stories, which would it be?
Not sure. Maybe a B5/Crusade one called Saving Gideon but I am actually incorporating some of it into my Big Bang.

19. Do you make up scenes at work/on the bus/at the gym? Who are the characters that pop up the most? Do you write them down?
I used to but not much since Sara died.

20. Go nuts, and talk about writing. Or write me a little ficlet-whatsit using a character/image/line I shall now specify:
Not sure what this one means but if you have a question of ANY kind about writing, let it fly!
