After doing meme answers today I remembered this was still in my drafts! Mid-sentence too, but fortunately almost complete!

19. Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?

In K8 fandom it was @everydayfandom, who gave me all my best ideas lol. But for F1 it tends to just be me, going wrong all by myself and forcing it on anyone who’ll listen. 

20. Describe your perfect writing conditions.

Ideally, in a nice cafe or pub with a good pot of tea or glass of wine – though lbr no writing conditions are perfect, I can find distraction anywhere and everywhere. 

29. If you could write the sequel (or prequel) to any fic out there not written by yourself, which would you choose?

Oh man, I had a great answer to this before, but it’s slipped my mind. I’m fairly certain it was something by @gimmefirefic ;3

37. Talk about your current wips.

Ha, I keep remembering old ones I’d completely forgotten about and abandoned! Of course, the big one is my zombie apocalypse fic, which I feel has made some good progress recently – it’s now over 10k words and is teetering on the brink of a Very Important Thing happening which will swiftly lead to the denouement of the fic, so I just need to gear myself up for the difficult bit. 

There’s also a drabble I started for the Chinese GP, and in the process I also found myself thinking afresh about a prompt which I already had in progress when you suggested a similar one to me ages ago, haha – something about waking up after a night of drunken sex, lol. I started it ages ago and it was shit but I think this new direction might salvage it.

I also started fics like a brothel AU (Rob, reluctantly at first, gets involved with high class prostitute Felipe and falls in love etc etc), and a lecturer/student AU (lecturer Rob and international student Felipe are attracted to each other but try very hard to fight their ~urges to act on it). So if anyone feels like encouraging me about any of these, just let me know~ (results not guaranteed >.>)

32, 39, 45, aaaand 50 (pls rant about something you hate ;D you know how I love to rant to you!)

32. 

Do you listen to music when you write or does music inspire you? If so, which band or genre of music does it for you?

Hmm I don’t go out of my way to, but sometimes a certain song strikes you as an OTP song, or a line stands out and becomes a fic title, lol >.> 

39. 

What is you greatest strength as a writer?

I always try and get my dialogue to be believable. I try my best to write words I can really hear the characters saying. 

45. 

If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?

Already answered this one!

50. 

Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

I already answered this one too but I’ll go into more detail, haha. I said before that I really hate bad characterisation, and I really, really do – especially when characters are reduced to simpering crybabies when in reality they’re pretty sardonic guys (yes, I’m thinking of Seb, who seems to get this treatment a lot, lol. Also Vince from the Mighty Boosh, dear lord). Like, of course I’m all about the twu wuv and all that soppy shit but I don’t want to see unlikely romantic scenarios full of grand gestures and big declarations of love. Makes me cringe as much in fic as it would in real life, lol. 

Thanks for asking! 😉

10. 

Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

Already answered this one!

13. 

Any NoTPs?

Rob/anyone except Felipe, haha. MacDennis. OhYass, from K8 fandom. When people put in random het to make some kind of point and it’s unnecessary. 

26. 

How do you come up with your fanfic titles?

Lately, nearly everything is a song lyric, haha. Sometimes I take a line from the fic itself, because I’m just too pleased with the line. Wow that’s awful lol

44.  What is your all time favourite fanfic?

Probably the best fic I’ve ever read is still The Wheel, a Saiyuki fic by New Kate. It’s the length of a substantial novel, and it’s a reincarnation fic that covers so many different settings and scenarios and permutations that I was just so impressed I wanted to jack in writing altogether, lol. Another fic that made me feel like that was that very very long retro F1 fic about a bunch of drivers from the 70s/80s who I don’t even really know well but the smut was just SO good it goes into the all-time favourites list. And yes, those are my two ready answers that I often give to this question so I can diplomatically avoid mentioning anyone I know, and thus also avoid the risk of forgetting to mention someone D; 

Thanks for asking!

Every number divisible by 5!

5. Which fandoms have your written fanfiction for?

Oh man. That question is harder than it seems – I’ve been writing fic for 15 years! Gundam Wing was my first real journey into fic-writing, so far as I recall. Besides the obvious F1, other big fandoms were Prince of Tennis, Saiyuki and then, of course, Kanjani8, and I also remember writing quite a lot of drabbles for a manga series called Eerie Queerie. I’ve been in plenty of fandoms but I don’t actually remember which I’ve written fic for? My LJ fic tag, and long-forgotten ff.net account, tell me I also wrote for Eyeshield 21, Jeds, Kyou Kara Maou (how good was that anime tho???) and Berserk, and there might well be more too.

10. 

Is there a fandom you read fic from but don’t write in?

I check the Always Sunny tag on AO3 occasionally but for the past couple of seasons it’s ALL MacDennis and Charlie/Dee and I’m like, fuck that right off >( I also read cricket fic sometimes, but there’s SO many cricketers and possible pairings I’ve never quite settled!

15. Is there an obscure ship which you love?

I feel like most of my ships in F1 are pretty mainstream? Or at least obvious choices, lol. But I might be forgetting something…

20. 

Any ships which you surprised yourself by liking?

Simi I guess, which I’ll read even though I don’t really like Kimi and Seb is top 5 at best. But it’s just such an obvious ship, I’ll give it a read if it’s going!

25. 

What’s your most popular fanfic?

In terms of kudos, Across the Universe and Good to be on the Road Back Home Again are tied for the lead, I guess cos they’re multi-parters, with Earthly Delights a close second. 

30. 

What inspires you to write?

I dunno really! Just my faves doing cute stuff, haha. 

35. 

Do you write drabbles? If so, what do you normally write them about?

I have done in the past – strict 100 word ones too, and I enjoyed that challenge! But I’m trying to get back into short fic writing, without letting stuff get out of hand and making more of it than the idea deserves.

40. 

What do you struggle the most with in your writing?

As I just mentioned, stuff often gets out of hand and I run out of steam and give up. That’s often because I feel I’ve got to fill in every little detail, when I really don’t need to. I need to remember that less is sometimes more! But that’s a skill I lack :/a

45. 

If someone was to read one of your fanfics, which fic would you recommend to them and why?

Earthly Delights. The filth I’m proudest of :3b Or Test Match, I feel like that has some of my better lines in it too. 

50. 

Rant or Gush about one thing you love or hate in the world of fanfiction! Go!

Basically I love that fanfiction exists – I grew up not knowing this and when I discovered it it was a magical experience, finding that there were other people like me out there in the world! I love that I’ve read fics that are way better than any published work I’ve ever read. From a writing point of view, I love that you don’t have to arse about building characters cos everyone already knows who you’re talking about, haha. 

And a hate to balance it out: I loathe poor characterisation. I can deal with imperfect English, as long as the story is good, but it could be the best prose ever and if the characters start crying all the fucking time, I’m out. >.> 

Thanks for asking! And for reading, if you did, haha!
