Ooh! How about 1, 13, 15 and 20?
1. Describe yourself how you would describe a character you’re introducing(doing this in third-person ‘cause otherwise it’d be even more awkward ha ha)She towered in more ways than one. Broad-shouldered, broad-hipped and flat-chested, she had to duck under the hang of the public bus to avoid cracking her brow on the door. Her hair was chopped short and uneven and dyed a vibrant blue-violet, and she wore hiking boots though the frost wouldn’t set in for another week. It was easy to remember her, too easy. You could tell from the way she winced when the driver remembered her name.
13. Favorite fic from another author?Soooo many to choose from. Okay, short list of my at-the-moment favs for various fandoms:A Civilized Discussion (Critical Role) by CurriebelleAnd When I Touch You I Feel Happy Inside (Dragon Age: Inquisition) by TaimatNorthland (Axis Powers Hetalia) by Shiny_n_newDelible Ink (Welcome to Night Vale) by AwkwardAnnie, andFour Missions That Didn’t Change the World (Zombies, Run!) by PercyByssheShelleyhonorable mention to Dreaming Reality by silver_tongued_drake because it’s WIP but I keep coming back to it as a bedtime story. I’m really excited to see where they take the AU.
15. Your guilty writing pleasure?I don’t really have a guilty pleasure, if I’m honest. I stopped giving a fuck about what anybody might not like about my interests a long time ago. But when it comes to raw enjoyment, my writing pleasures are much like my reading pleasures: I love a good romance subplot alongside adventure narratives, characters and situations that play with gender conventions or boundaries, found families, sensitive men in distress, women who could kick my ass, and the occassional hot make-out or sex scene.Also, a really good Romantic Fantasy will always make me swoon.
20. 4 sentences from your work that you’re proud of.Part of me wants to pick and choose from among the stuff I’ve published....but, if I’m honest, I’m only really proud of whatever scene I wrote most recently. So here’s a chunk of dialogue I really like from near the end of my thesis:
“Speak plainly, Sol. The man was a bastard.” “He had no students, truly. Only means to an end. It was the same for the school.”“I should have done more.” “You were hardly to blame.”“I was the eldest. And his assistant.”“You were a boy.”
