SAT Makes Me Nervous
Well SAT testing is tommorow, which has me all nervous. I hate it when teachers say to do your best on the test, but than say you have to pass it because it'll affect your entire grade; that really doesn't help relieve the pressure much guys.

There isn't really much else to say since my life is full of boring misery. I guess that ends my wonderful post in which I put in some real life content before the memes 'cause I got nothing else to give.

Keyboard or Longhand?
I like keyboard since it’s easier to correct mistakes on the spot and can do it more or less from the comfort of home where I do my best writing. With longhand I only do it at school and can barely come up with a sentence.

Beta or no Beta?

Currently I’m beta-less, but I would like one since I have many mistakes that I just never catch even after reading the story about four times. My mind corrects mistakes instantly before I can register them so that’s a big problem for me.



Plot?

Plot? Yeah I can come up with plot fairly easy, it’s just getting the stories started in the first place that I have to deal with.

Title?

I like coming up with titles, but I will read my story at least three times before deciding on a name. I lift names from many places though so it’s not really me being entirely creative here.

Smushy or Smutty?

Smushy definitely. I can’t write smut to save my life, I tried once and it was a disaster, so never again.

Summary?

I try my best at summaries, but it can be a hard thing to do at times. When I summarize I try to be as exact as I can without giving anything major away.

Funniest Fic?

I haven’t written much humor fics for some reason, I really should get going on that.

Most Popular Fic?

Hopes Fall, which is a story I hate, but it’s got thirty-four reviews on nine chapters all ready.

Most Fun to Write?

I loved writing The Beginning to a Beautiful Friendship fic on Saetan and Andulvar’s first meeting.

Hardest to Write?

It’s not fanfic, but Chocolate Delights took me a long time to write. It was my first smut story and since I’ve never written smut before, well let’s just say I got distracted by the TV so many times while writing it.

Best and Worst?

All of my earlier stuff on FFN can be classified as my worst, but I’m not a good judge on what I think I wrote the best.

Coulda Been a Contender?

I liked writing Hurt’s to See You Cry, but only one person reviewed it which made me a very sad panda indeed.

Strengths?

I think that I don’t limit myself to what parings and fandoms I can write for. Whenever I get into a new fandom I start looking for some fic and then when that’s done start to write it.

Weaknesses?

I need to rewrite my stuff more. I like to post the day I finish something, but I know that I should sit on it for at least a day to make sure.

Dirty Little Secrets?

What do you think this meme is about darling?



Name six pairings you have written about and plan to continue writing about:

1. Saetan/Andulvar (Black Jewels Trilogy)
2. Surreal/Karla (Black Jewels Trilogy)
3. Harvey/Jack (The Company)
4. Jonathan/Alexander (Music of the Spheres)
5. Tatsuha/Ryuichi (Gravitation)
6. Tsuzuki/Hisoka (Yami no Matsuei)

Three pairings you used to write, but haven’t written lately:

7. Hekatah/Dorothea (Black Jewels Trilogy)
8. Shuichi/Yuki (Gravitation)
9. Majicou/Tag (The Wild Road)

Three pairing you’re not interested in writing about:

10. Daemon/Jaenelle (Black Jewels Trilogy)
11. Hiro/Shuichi (Gravitation)
12. Tohru/Yuki. I know I’m cheating, but I’m going to lump Tohru/Kyo in here as well.

Two pairings you are interested in but don’t haven't actually written much about:

13. Hastur/Ligur (Good Omens)
14. Ford/Arthur (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)



1.) Why don’t you want to write about #11? I like the dynamic between the two as best buddies, but the thought of seeing them written together just doesn’t do it for me. There are examples where I like freindshiping, Aziraphale/Crowley for example, but I just can’t get my head around the thought of the two together.

2.) Do you know anyone who writes #13? I’ve never talked to them on lj, but I like their fics which make me both really happy and kind of nervous on writing it as well.


3.) What would be your ideal scenario for couple #3? I like the idea of them having to rent out a hotel to escape all the worries and doubts involved in dealing with being a member of the CIA. The only way to see this is if I write it myself since no one else knows about this paring. I might go post it at heard-of-it to see if it can garner attention over there.

4.) Which is your favorite canon scene for #1? I read the moment in Dreams Made Flesh where the two reach out for each other than Hekatah comes in and makes Saetan hole up into himself again, breaks my heart every single fucking time I read it.

5.) How long have you been writing couple #6? I started back in early 07 with Cake Gate. The fic was my first Yami fic as well so it wasn’t very good though. I haven’t written them much lately, but plan to continue.

6.) What's the story with #8? Why haven’t you been writing about them? What made you stop? I just started getting out of touch with the fandom and haven’t written anything since 7-7-07 because of not keeping up with the manga. I hope to get cracking on the manga again to get my inspiration points for them up since they were my very first slash paring.

7.) Which pairing do you prefer - #2 or #4? Surreal/Karla or Alexander/Jonathan? God I love them both and they’re so unlike each other I can’t really compare the two.

8.) What interests you about #14? Through all the incarnations I just love the character interaction and the aging question of why did Ford pick Arthur in the first place?

9.) When and why did you stop writing about #7? No reason, I just haven’t gotten the inspiration for it. I want to write it, but I just can’t you know.

10.) What about #9? Same reason, just no inspiration.

11.) What's a song that reminds you of #5? Stupid song questions; I can never answer these ones.

12.) Which of the pairings you write do you love the most? I hate myself for it sometimes, but it has to be Jonathan/Alexander from Music of the Spheres. No one knows of this book and it saddens me since I love it so much, and now it’s out of print which sucks terribly. It’s a paring that integrates one of my top kinks which is incest and the exploration of how such a relationship can effect them as family; I really should write up a ship manifesto for them.

13.) Which of the pairings you write do you dislike the most? Probably Hiro/Shuichi since I just don’t like it, but second place would be Daemon/Jaenelle. I like the paring fine enough, but it’s just so boring and done so many times; I kind of want to write a fic of them, but that’s a dirty secret that no one knows about.

14.) Have #2 kissed yet in canon? Man I don’t think they’ve ever even talked to each other let alone kiss!

15.) Did #4 have a happy ending? Kind of, their ending was sort of bittersweet in nature.

16.) What would make you start writing #14? If all the good writers dropped dead! No I’m just kidding I hope they live a long and good life, but I might write it one day when I’m feeling extremely lucky and have someone who can beta for me.

17.) If only one could happen in canon, which would you prefer - #2 or #6 Tsuzuki/Hisoka is sort of canon, but it seems Surreal/Karla has no chance of being that so I think I would go with them if I had such powers to make the canon.

18.) What is it about #10 that doesn’t appeal to you? I just think it’s kind of boring and people have done it all ready and some have even managed to do it well too. I’ll probably end up writing at least one fic for them though, so my opinion may change on them later.
