Fanfiction Do you read or write fanfiction? Of course! X3 When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction? I started writing it when I was about five. Reading, not till around '98, when I got online. What was your first fandom? All Dogs Go to Heaven was the first fandom I became majorly involved with online. Offline, when I was five, I was obsessed with the old Disney Afternoon shows. First ship? Eh. I've never been big on romance. I can't even remember for sure what pairing I liked first. What website do you use most? Fanfiction.net; Livejournal.com What do you think of Fanfiction.net? The new changes they're making are finally awesome. X3 But a lot of the writers could be better. I've found some good stuff there sometimes, though! What fandoms have you written in? ADGTH, Gomer Pyle, The Monkees, The Bowery Boys, Darkwing Duck, Ducktales, Talespin (kind of), Diagnosis Murder, Twice in a Lifetime, Scooby-Doo, M*A*S*H, Star Wars, LOTR, Sonic the Hedgehog, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Pokémon, Sailor Moon, Megaman, Detective Conan, Final Fantasy VII, Kingdom Hearts Pairings? Gin/Sherry (Detective Conan), Zack/Aerith (FF7). I've dabbled in ambiguous Jack/Amanda (Diagosis Murder) and Seto/Téa (Yu-Gi-Oh!) Any fandoms you would like to write in? I'm pretty happy with what I write. I wish I could do more with Sailor Moon, though. Do reviews affect how you write in any way? Yes, if they're well-written, they can motivate me to write new chapters and such. And sometimes the tips they give stay with me and change how I write. Do you use a beta? No, not officially. I've never been comfortable with the concept. But when I'm concerned about something in particular, I do ask close friends to look it over for me. What ratings do you read/write? It amuses me that when I wrote YGO mysteries, I'd usually start at G and end up with PG-13, no matter how much I vowed not to. And PG-13 is the most consistent rating for my stuff. As for what I read, I'll read from G to PG-13. What warnings have you used on your fiction/read? Violence, thematic elements, cruelty.... Several times recently I've used "non-sexual, non-graphic nudity", which is of course the only kind of nudity I'd ever use in a fic. ^^ Do you have any squicks? Sex fics. **shrugs.** Doesn't matter whether it's het, yaoi, or yuri. And I'm not that crazy about shounen-ai/shoujo ai in general, either. I just don't like seeing certain characters in romantic relationships if I just don't think of them that way. Also, I hate fics where characters are changed unnaturally (aging, shrinking, gender-benders, etc. Oh, and M-preg. Haaate. XD) Do you Role-play online? If so, what? I role-play one-on-one with my close friends. I'm not big on group RPs. I do YGO, Detective Conan, and FF7. I'd like to try KH. Have you ever stolen something from another person's work? I hope not! I have sometimes used certain concepts, like Marik and Mokuba being friends, but I've always made sure to not credit myself for them. Favorite fandom to write/read? The Monkees, YGO, Detective Conan, FF7, Kingdom Hearts. Favorite pairing? What's with all the bleeping pairing questions? XD; .... Gin/Sherry, Zack/Aerith. That is about all. Well, and Baby Face/Ruby, Syaoran/Sakura, and Heero/Relena. Favorite writer/writers? My friends How long should a chapter be? 3,000-4,000 words, sometimes longer. Do you write/read drabbles? I read them, I don't write them. I can't possibly cram my thoughts into that few words! Any fandoms you avoid? I can't think of any fandom I actively avoid. Though, I use the word interchangeably to mean both shows themselves and the actual fanbase. Pairings you avoid? Almost everything? XD; Well, my most hated pairings are Cloud/Sephiroth and Sephiroth/Zack. And Alister/Valon, or any combination of the bikers together. Warnings you avoid? Sex, graphic violence, pointless humor, pretty much any of my squicks above. Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is? Not really. Honestly, the majority of good stories rarely get many reviews. What do you think of Mary Sues? Haaaate. XD; I have some old OCs of my own that are Sues, and I am so ashamed of them. But not all OCs are Sues, and there's really some awesome OCs out there; they're just hard to find. Have you ever flamed someone? Not that I can think of. Have you ever been flamed? Yeah, several times. That's it, aren't you glad? Sure. **shrugs.** CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!
