There are twenty questions in total, I decided to choose ten.
3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?
No surprise here, it has to be hurt/comfort. Followed by crack.
5. How many words can you write if you sit down and concentrate intensely for an hour?
I used to do challenge hours with friends and would manage 500 to 600.
6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot)
Gene Hunt/Sam Tyler from Life on Mars (UK)
7. Inspiration, time, or motivation. Choose two.
Probably whichever are missing when I plan to write.
8. Why do you choose to write?
I enjoy creating stories and getting comments like "This is such a random, silly idea, yet I can't help but love it."
9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?
Fic and poetry. And the occasional sermon.
11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?
No idea. Plot fic based around a ferret in a snake suit? Tigger Holmes? Pot/Kettle?
14. Your favorite side pairings to put in?
I don't really do side pairings. At this point I'm expectingscfrankles to chip in with all the ones I write.
16. Do you have structured ideas of how your story is supposed to go, or make it up as you write?
No structured ideas. I start at the beginning and work my way through, letting the characters take the lead. Although clearly with a casefic I'm aiming for case solved.
17. Would you describe yourself as a fast writer?
No. I have friends who churn out thousands of words in an evening. But writing a short piece means taking longer over each word, and if it's a specific length then finding exactly the right number of words to convey the right meaning takes time.
