Date: 2017-09-10 01:51 (UTC)23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it. : Wow. I can't just pick one. Here's a few....
Love over Gold, for telling a story that was so strange but could be brought and folded into canon. Life After, for the structure and the intense character focus, a story I didn't think I could write. Hidden Within, because it told a story that was somehow inside me since I first read Tolkien.
Boys of Summer, because it was a story that would not let me go - I tried to ditch it and write something else three times because I were scared of it, but I wrote it anyway and writing it felt like flying.
Love Story and Sanctuary just because they made me very happy...
25. What’s your most popular fanfic?: Oh good, an easy one :D On Ao3, probably Pink Flamingo. On SWG, Even Quicker than Doubt.
46. If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why? So I suppose it would need to be representative -- that's hard, I might be tempted to give them a couple to choose from -- Hidden Within comes to mind first, or The Night the Sea Came In (well, it's set on Balar and has Gil-galad and all the usual suspects), or The Boys of Summer....

Date: 2017-09-10 02:33 (UTC)10. Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in? That would be X-Files (my first fandom love) and Game of Thrones.
20. Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking? Actually Erestor/Glorfindel, which is now my 'go to' pairing. Hated how they were often written in my early fandom days - mainly the shy, bookish (though beautiful) Chief Councillor and the high school jock. I first wrote them as a gift for a friend, after which I was taken with the idea of writing them 'my' way, after which I sort of fell in love....
30. What inspires you to write? The terror of an approaching deadline? I've always loved writing stories and with fanfiction there was also the chance to share ideas, talk about writing, and be a part of something bigger (not so big now, sadly). Oh and muses who won't always shut up :D
40. What do you struggle the most with in your writing? Finding the initial idea. I really battle with that as a rule, though there are a few that just appeared out of nowhere. Trusting myself to be able to do something I've not tried before - after much flailing and whining!!
50. How did you get into reading and/or writing fanfiction? Purely reading was X-Files, never occurred to me to write anything at that point. It was very late in that fandom's day too. I started off looking for info on the final season, found fiction, discovered people even wrote my rare love (Alex and Marita), and it was like going to heaven. Later I was looking for pictures of Hugo Weaving as Elrond and ended up on the Vanilla Elf site, reading wonderful LotR fanfiction, and from there found Yahoo groups, and read, and met people, and read more, and finally started writing at the end of 2004 for the Slashy Santa swap.
