ELEVEN!!! Best question. *grins*

[lotrspnfangirl.livejournal.com]

Oh god. It's actually quite awful. [Unknown site tag] and I seriously had an entire crack fic for Harry Potter written out that was all about the nastiest things we could think of -- scat and water sports and blood play and eating said scat and water sports and blood play. It was a joke, but we seriously planned an entire novel around it. *shakes head*

3 and 10 please : ) x

#3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?

Angst and slash! I have written het as well as fluff before, but I think I do much better and enjoy writing more if it's a slash pairing and/or angst. I'm an angst whore!

#10.10. What inspires you the most?

My life. I find myself taking situations that I've experiences and enhancing on them. I write a lot of Military/Police perspectives (my husband), hospitals (I'm a nurse), a lot of the 'fights' I have my characters go through are stemmed from ones I've experianced with my husband. I think it gives me a better insight and I'm able to write it more realistically!

We should make a comm called Angst Whore ♥ That would be the best : )

Oh man, that must be such a great source for fic...especially of the angst variety! : )

Thank you Hun xx

[lotrspnfangirl.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness! YES!! That would be the best!! A fic req/request comm!

[alexisjane.livejournal.com]

We should do that!! I'm gonna ask about it at The Bunker : ) xxx

#1 back at you <3

When the car pulled up to the house, she was already smiling, even before she stepped out of the car. She had twisted her hair up in a messy bun to the top of her head and he knew the moment she stepped in the house --after she was thoroughly kissed hello by their dogs-- she would be stripping out of her scrubs and into pajamas.

He met her at the door, eager for a hello kiss before the dogs realized she was there, her blue eyes shone in the sunlight and were even lighter than usual. She smiled wider and leaned in for a kiss. It was good to be home.

lol /my day today

[ephermeralk.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a lovely day!!

Mine's been spent trying to kick my hangover :D

[elwarre.livejournal.com]

15 and 16 for me, please! :)

[lotrspnfangirl.livejournal.com]

15. Your guilty writing pleasure?
Smutty smut smut. It's funny, but it's to the point where if I don't have smut I feel like I haven't completed something LOL! Also? Mint tea. I can't write without a mug of hot mint tea with honey :)

16. Do you have structured ideas of how your story is supposed to go, or make it up as you write?

HAHA. Does organized chaos count? I always keep a 'master' and a 'WIP' as well as each chapter in it's own doc. But I start and write scenes from all over the place. The story you're working with me now? I wrote the prologue and epilogue first!

My first fic was Orlando Bloom/OFC and it was a song fic to 'Don't Wanna Miss A Thing' by Aerosmith. Then, I stumbled upon the world of Monaboyd and slash and never looked back!

[dolnmoon.livejournal.com]

Orlando Bloom?? Was it Sleepy Hollow related or did you just have a Orlando Bloom crush?

What is Monaboyd?

Slash rules...

[lotrspnfangirl.livejournal.com]

Yes! I was in LOVE with Lord of the Rings and Orlando Bloom was hot stuff. I used to read off of AviaSilverbloom which was all Orlando fiction (this was pre-Pirates of the Carribbean too lol)

Monaboyd is Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd And this? Isn't a manip ♥

And Slash is life.

[lotrspnfangirl.livejournal.com]

Actually now I'm on a roll they're kind of like J2. They were Merry and Pippin in LotR and ended up being best friends. They like to use 'monaboyd' and post pictures of them sleeping together on twitter and stuff. I love them so much, my first OTP.

Sure, why not? 12 and 20

12. A fic you wish you had written better, and why?

Hmmm for any fic I've written? Living Is Easy, a Lord of the Rings RPF. It was my first ever real fic, 20 chapters and for a while (until Screaming Color this year) was the longest fic I've written. Granted, I was 15(?) at the time, but I rushed through it, eager to get the next chapter out as quick as possible. It's not bad but it sounds like a teenager wrote it. I got a huge response from it at the time and sometimes I think about going back and fixing it up. From where I am now as a writer, I've learned a lot about my own craft and working towards creating a more polished and finished piece.

For Supernatural? Once More, a J2 one shot -- I wrote it at work, at 3 am, and didn't read over it. I think I say cock way too much and it's just awful LOL


20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of?

Oh god, this one is hard... This is the first four lines of Stand Me Up and I am proud of them because it's my first one-shot ever and I still come back to this when I need inspiration.

“Fuck.” Jensen Ackles was drunk. He had been looking forward to this night all week long, had spent more time than he would have cared to admit on fixing his hair, and even bought a new outfit for the occasion. When it was all said and done, he expected to be blissfully fucked to within an inch of his life, not slamming back shots by himself at the crappiest bar in the city, refusing to believe he had been stood up until the bartender took pity and personally paid for a cab.

#13 please :)

[lotrspnfangirl.livejournal.com]

13. Favorite fic from another author?

Hmmm.... You know, I think one of my favorite has got to be Like the Back of My Hand by dimpleforyourthoughts. I actually read a passage of it in the voice meme :)

It's just... God, amazing?!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

You did indeed and I think I may just have to read that, thanks honey :)

[dont-hate-me01.livejournal.com]

#5 and #14 please! :-)

[lotrspnfangirl.livejournal.com]

5. How many words can you write if you sit down and concentrate intensely for an hour?

I think this week, I wrote around 4500 words in an hour. If I'm motivated and have a scene? I can write pretty quickly. Unless it's sex. That takes FOREVER. Unfortunately, that doesn't happen nearly enough!

14. Your favorite side pairings to put in?

Hmmm... that depends! In RPF, I kind of have a thing for Dani/Chad or Dani/Gen. In character, If I am writing Destiel, I like Sam/Jess, if I'm writing Wincest, I like Cas/Meg :)

4!

4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?

Oooh yes! Its hard to write fiction and to put yourself out there, and I hold admiration for anyone that posts their work! But, I have a special appreciation for a few people;

ashtraythief -- I've been given the pleasure of betaing for her and she puts so much into her work, she's so attentive and working with her is so much fun because she cares so much. It's easy to have a conversation with her about something, yet, she isn't afraid to put her foot down if she feels strongly about something.

Also, dimpleforyourthoughts only has a few fics, but they're some of the most beautifully written AUs I have ever read. I just admire her work!
