fanfic meme snagged from thilia. questions modified when necessary.


Do you read or write fanfiction?
read.

When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?
don't remember -- 2000/2001? it confused me at first. i had no idea what i was reading, to be honest. i wasn't aware of things like fandom and its terminology.

What was your first fandom?
err, dragon ball z. *hides* sort of. i liked the show and i sought out fanworks of it for a couple months, but like i said, i wasn't aware of fandom as an entity. i just looked at fansites.

First ship?
first ship i seriously shipped? heero and duo from gundam wing. a good couple of years later.

What website do you use most?
lj.

What do you think of Fanfiction.net?
it's called the "pit of voles" for a reason, kids.

What fandoms have you written drawn in?
dbz (to my eternal shame), cardcaptor sakura, gundam wing, zelda, resident evil (0), eternal darkness, mario, harry potter.

Pairings?
gundam: 1x2, other pilots/girls. i used to like 3x4 but not anymore.
zelda: link/sheik, mostly. i used to like link/dark link but i got bored, link/shad is cute but i don't really go for it.
harry potter: remus/sirius, harry/draco, james/regulus, james/lily (a het ship, wat), harry/teddy, teddy/al, as/s.

Any fandoms you would like to writedraw in?
if i could go back to being interested in anime i would try some there. also, silent hill, other RE games, maybe final fantasy and similar pretty-looking games.

Do reviews affect how you writedraw in any way?
they're a nice incentive to keep posting stuff (posting, i would still draw if i got no comments) and strike up conversations with people.

Do you use a beta?
only for fests. otherwise i just ask for crit on the post itself.

What ratings do you read/writedraw?
read: all of them. draw: i'm not very good at nc-17 so most of my attempts never get posted.

What warnings have you used on your fictionfanart/read?
the ones i've used... explicit sex, bondage, blood, violence, cross-gen/chan (though i don't post the really explicit stuff... not yet at least) pretty tame if i think about it.
the ones i've read... explicit sex, bondage, blood, violence, explicit chan, non-con/dub-con, torture (physical and psychological), incest, death, watersports (gave it a try, not my thing) bestiality (ditto), prostitution sexual slavery etc etc etc.

Do you have any squicks?
human waste, necrophilia, mpreg, most incest, snape, certain other pairings that don't include snape. i find bestiality and watersports sort of ridiculous, not exactly a squick but i avoid it anyway.

Do you Role-play online? If so, what?
no.

Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?
yes, if by "stolen" you mean "been influenced/inspired/what-have-you". i've never stolen anyone's art, fan or original.

Favorite fandom to writedraw/read?
at the moment, harry potter.

Favorite pairing?
i thought i'd answered this already. but if i have to pick one it'd be r/s.

Favorite writer/writers?
i was writing a list. but it got so long, so i'll just say: if you're a writer, and i have you friended, i think you're ass-kicking awesome.
but, lately i've been going through minnow_53's fics like a woman possessed. bb, you're one of my top faves forever. <3

How long should a chapter be?
uhh, whatever works for the fic. i like long chapters, as long as things actually happen in them.

Do you write/read drabbles?
read.

Any fandoms you avoid?
tv show fandoms.

Pairings you avoid?
SNAPE/EVERYONE IN THE UNIVERSE. well, not really. i just shake a crucifix at snape/marauders and snape/students or ex-students, the others i just ignore. sirius/anyone but remus i just plain hate, remus/anyone but sirius or harry is a waste of my time (and snape/lupin is my #1 pairing hate in the universe), harry/ginny, harry/ron, harry/hermione, etc. all bore me, so do pairings involving really obscure characters.

actually, i avoid the majority of pairings. i just stick with a few i like. sometimes i go out of that comfort zone to read something unusual, but there's not enough interest to make it more than a every-once-in-a-while thing.

Warnings you avoid?
i already answered this. get on with the program.

Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is?
gahahaha no.

What do you think of Mary Sues?
the authors should keep their sue fics to themselves instead of inflicting them on us.

Have you ever flamed someone?
i don't think i have? not in public at least.

Have you ever been flamed?
hahahaha yes. in the zelda fandom. but it was such a pathetic attempt that flaming back wasn't worth the time.

That's it, aren't you glad?
i guess. i'm hungry.
