15: What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound interesting?
A premise and an unanswered question that peaks my interest usually. I tend to avoid fics with a “poetry” type summery “In the dead of winter there is a man that has all but forgotten the spring” unless it’s recommended or an author I’ve read because it’s pretty but lacks a question that makes me what to click on it and read.
Then of course in general any fic with a pairing I like that has the themes I enjoy in it, sounds interesting to me.
Also weird stuff. Sometimes it’s a premise that’s too weird not click on it.
16: Name a fic that made you cry (or that made you come close).
A promise to be better. It has this one scene where Snape accepts death and Dumbledore gently convinces him to try. Ahh stab me in the heart.
41: Name a fic that has a perfect ending.
Actually a recent one, one of the fics I’m drawing for for the Barduil mini bang, Soulmark by Carizee. It’s ending is a beginning.
Sometimes the perfect ending is a satisfying conclusion to a story or event, but other times the perfect ending is the start of a new story that’s just not being told to you.
46: If you could imagine the perfect fic, what would it be like?
Everything I’ve always wanted deep in my soul but can’t form into thoughts or express in words. So you know, can’t be that hard to write, eh?
I want a sad fic, that ends happy. I want the characters brought down to their knees, I want them forced to pick between two impossible things, I want them to suffer for what they want, and then I want them to die satisfied.
Or unsatisfied, sometimes that makes a better story.
I really like it when the characters get hurt or suffer for something they believe in weather they’re right or wrong and then continue to carry on. I find that just that element even if it’s a small part of a larger fluff fic really gets to the heart of things. It makes everything more real.
Oh,hard questions! I had to dig deep there.
