Thank you! Soz for wall o’text lol.
5. since how long do you write?
I started writing fanfic properly in 2001, though I think I’d probably had some false starts towards the end of 2000. But I always wanted to be a writer from when I was a very small child. I used to start loads of stories and never finish them – all adventure stuff inspired by things like Narnia and Alice in Wonderland and Redwall. So I guess even if that wasn’t fic, it was “inspired by” other works, even if I didn’t know of fic as a concept until I was much older.

hardest character to write
Hmm idk! Looking back to Kanjani8 fandom, maybe Maru – he’s so bizarre and mysterious but also funny, it was really hard to think of what he’d do or say cos it’s likely to be extremely random lol.
17.
favorite AU to write
ALL OF THEM though apparently uni AUs, cos they’re usually the first thing that springs to mind if I need a prompt for an exchange or something, lol. It’s a rich seam >.>
22. favorite story you’ve ever written
In terms of F1, I always say Earthly Delights is my fave, and it still is, though I’m proud of Test Match as well. Idk what my favourite piece I’ve written ever is – I keep thinking about a short Prince of Tennis D1 fic I wrote many years ago that I could possibly turn into an original piece, but I’ve not read it back in a long time so it might be crap after all this time, haha.
36. one-shot or multi-chaptered story?
One shots are much easier for me, even if they turn out to be 20k words lol. I find multi-chapter fics very hard – I only just got back off a year-long break with the one that looks likely to be the first one I’ll ever finish lol.
38.
do you reread your own stories?
All the time – the ones that get a lot of kudos anyway, haha. For a start I like to check to see what I’ve written before so I can try and minimise repetition, but I also like to see what worked and what didn’t and hopefully reassure myself it didn’t entirely suck, haha. Though sometimes it backfires and you’re like Wow I could never write anything this good again! OR, Why did I think this was a good idea…?
45. share the synopsis of a story you work on that you haven’t published yet
a) Love in a time of zombies
b) What’s the protocol when one falls in love with a sex worker?
