1 6 10 and 12!
1. What is your favorite fic you have under your belt?
That is SUCH a difficult question. I think, I guess, The Woman in Blue, because it took the most conscious effort and attention to the actual writing. I spent a lot of time producing it, and I spent actually more time editing it than writing. I think that if you want to produce something you like, editing is crucial.
I really, really enjoyed writing Long in the Tooth, though, which is a one-off ship and kinky to boot, but turned out both funnier and more down-to-earth than I might have hoped, so I’m proud of its little self. Anyone who liked that, thank you: thank you for validating my very specific interests.
6. What’s the detail you wait on bated breath for readers to notice?
Any of my worldbuilding bullshit. Really, that’s all I have to say about that – any of this nonsense I come up with and integrate into the fic even though it has no real long-term impact on plot or emotional outcome.
10. What would you change if you had it all to do again?
I would have posted more of my stuff on AO3, I think. I have a lot of tumblr fic, and I have always had some strongish ideas about what goes on tumblr and what goes on AO3, but my tumblr is not well archived and you can’t find things very easily, and that’s sort of a bummer. But I hate to repost stuff that I wrote a million years ago.
Also, I would write more Teemu Selanne/Paul Kariya.
12. What’s the hardest thing to write for you?
Poor communication! I am quite direct and self-confident in my interpersonal communications, in romantic relationships and with family and at work, and it’s always paid off really well for me. So I struggle with writing what I feel is a realistic depiction of two people who for some reason can’t just talk words to each other. What Will Survive of Us was a whole thing to write, for me, because I had a hell of a time trying to make them fail so badly at communicating and then somehow start talking and get back to a happy ending.
