I snaffled this from sholio, it looks interesting. Basically, pick a question or two, and leave it in the comments.


1. How did you come up with the title to [insert fic]?
2. Any of your stories inspired by personal experience?
3. What character do you identify with most?
4. Is there a song or a playlist to associate with [insert fic]?

7. Care to share a favorite crack fic?
8. How would you describe your style?
9. Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

11. What's the angstiest idea you've ever come up with?
12. What's the weirdest AU you've ever come up with?
13. Got any premises on the back burner that you'd care to share?
14. Is there a fic you wish someone else would write (or finish) for you?
15. How do you begin a story--with the plot, or the characters?
16. Are you what George R. R. Martin would call an "architect" or a "gardener"? (How much do you plan in advance, versus letting the story unfold as you go?)
17. Do you have any discarded scenes/storylines/projects?
18. Are there any writers (fanfic or otherwise) you consider an influence?
19. Any fandom tropes you can't resist?
20. Any fandom tropes you can't stand?
21. A pairing you might like to write for, but haven't tried yet.
22. A secondary (or underrated) character you want to see more of in fic?
23. Do you like more general prompts, or more specific ones?
24. A character you enjoy making suffer.
25. A character you want to protect.

2 and 12!

2# That’s a really interesting question. I had to hie myself over to AO3 and my list of stories to think about that question. I guess, all of them and none of them, to be accurate. ‘Chipping Stone’ explicitly, springs to mind – not necessarily, the specifics that led to Rodney’s bullying -- but I am very, very familiar with bullying masquerading behind incessant teasing-fun (for the perpetrator) against the victim. And it never stops. Not even a week ago, someone said to me Well, it’s so much fun, your buttons are enormous. I’m seething as I think about it. It’s a dichotomy: call out folk when they’re acting like arses or let it roll of your back – regardless, I’m usually glaring. But I don’t get why people think that it is funny.

12# weirdest AU? The SGA story ‘Braaaaaains’ was pretty wacked. I think that it’s the closest to crack that I’ve written *wanders off to re-read it* Is it really an AU, though – or just a typical SGA ep! I’ll have to say that the TS story ‘Once Upon a Time’ is the classically weirdest AU.

How about #9? :D

kidfic to be honest, because unless it is mpreg the mother of the child is usually fridged in someway. I want to see the Boys^TM in domestic, curtained harmony, yet the mother is just the vehicle to provide the babe.

probably, a little more serious answer than you were expecting.

I'm, as always, late to the party but #6 please? :)

my go-to, favourite, reread, my printed hard copy of this fic has travelled far afield to the Arctic and down to Ghana and beyond is:

Cindy Comb's 'Before Dawn' AU Sentinel fic in the Roachia series

*happily goes to reread*

It's awesome to have such a story. <3

Also, you've been to the Arctic? Awesome!
