Thank you! 😀

18. 

favorite pairing to write

Currently it’s obv Rolipe, but idk if I could ever say what my favourite pairing to write, ever, is – I love them all very deeply at the time I’m writing them! My OTPs tend to have a similar dynamic, ie varying degrees of cheerful one/grumpy one, but Rolipe has an interesting little twist in that the Grumpy One is also often the more publicly affectionate one. There’s some interesting tsundere-ness at work as well, with Rob going on about how annoying Felipe is etc when people try and get him to say nice things, but immediately and very fiercely defending him as soon as anyone starts slagging him off. And this is reminding me of the time I wrote a meme answer about why I love Rolipe and TUMBLR LOST IT and I never rewrote it but it was great ;(

20. favorite character to write

I enjoy writing both Rob and Felipe – Felipe because I get to pretend I’m a nice person, and Rob cos that’s more of an outlet for being the bastard I really am lol. (I know Rob’s not a full-time bastard, especially where Felipe is concerned, but he’s more bastardly than Felipe is and it’s cathartic ;3) Also, I know I’ve said this before but I do love writing Rob’s northernness as well 😉

31. easiest part of writing

Dialogue! It’s fun, flows easily, keeps the story moving and fills up lots of word space so you can write a whole chapter in no time! And writing characters’ voices is a fun challenge too – writing an ESL character like Felipe is interesting cos you have to try and think how they’d express particular things (I do love writing Massaspk ngl). Plus Rolipe bantz is just way too much fun and they give us so much inspiration – them taking the piss out of each other is just too easy to write, cheers lads~

42. do you plan or do you write whatever comes to your mind?

Usually I have only the vaguest of plans – often just a starting point or a general theme – and I wait, and I think, and eventually the rest unveils itself and I write it down as it does. Sometimes that takes a very long time lol. Occasionally I do have a much more detailed plan (or at least, my idea has more details) but usually I can’t force it – I have to wait until the bits come to me, or the result is usually poor.
