How did you come to fan-fiction/slash writing?
Read Tricia's stories and found the yahoo groups, finally got brave enough
to write something for a challenge. I do a lot more reading and beta-ing than
writing though.
How do you come up with ideas for stories? I usually need a challenge,
sort of a structured plot, if I have a base, I can usually run with it.
What do you do to overcome writer's block? I think I have it more
than I don't have it, so I would say I never overcome it, really. Seriously,
I don't think I write enough to say that I get writer's block.
Have you written in any other fandom? No
Do you use music as a soundtrack for your writing? If yes, what kind?
No, although I have a small tv/dvd in my room and I almost always have a movie
in.
Is there a certain time of day you usually sit down to write? Mornings
are good, or late at night
Have you or would you write stories "on request" for readers?
Never been asked, probably maybe, could do it, especially if there was a baseline
plot from which to work
Which of your own stories do you like best? Swept
Away
What do you think, why the mostly female writers in slash make up stories
about male/male relationships? Maybe because we want to see an emotional
element in the fics, and if guys were to write slash, it would be all sex?
Do you have muses who help you with your stories? If yes, who are they? Actually,
and this is kind of dumb, but I rpg with elf clones, they are quickly becoming
my muses.
What do you think is your trademark in stories and why? None (though
I'm beginning to think it's a sweet Rumil)
What part of your writing do you think still needs improvement? Characterizations,
description, canon.
Is there something you would never write? Child abuse, anything really
really dark...
