For the meme questions, could you answer number 8 and 15?
8. Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
Oh my GOD it was so hard to choose. That one part at the end of Care and Feeding chapter 6, with Seph grooming Cloud's wings, was definitely in the running. But I think the award goes to one of my old works under the account I panic-orphaned, Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death
Hood swayed a little bit, still not looking away from the Gotham skyline. “Yeah,” he agreed. The lack of anger in his voice was quickly becoming more alarming than relieving. “He’s dead. It’s—it’s enough. It’s finally enough.”
Perhaps, had the inflection in his voice been different, Batman would have been hopeful that Jason was finally turning away from his violent path, was finally willing to come home and begin reconciling with his family.
Instead, Jason’s words sent a sudden, foreboding chill down Batman’s spine. The entire scene took on a different significance to the older man—the painkillers, the lack of armaments, the location, all of it, and Batman was not prepared for the conclusion he came to. He took a deep, steadying breath of the biting winter air before he spoke.
“Hood,” he commanded uneasily, clenching his hands into fists, “move away from the ledge.” It had to be the opiates in his system. He had taken too many and it was impairing his judgment. This couldn’t possibly be intentional.
Jason finally turned to look at him, and Batman’s heart stuttered in his Kevlar-protected chest. The younger man’s eyes were hollow and deadened, his entire posture speaking of an aching, bone-deep emptiness. The jacket, Batman realized numbly, wasn't actually bulkier; it was the thick, messy bandages that crossed Jason's entire torso and neck that gave the appearance of bulkiness. Most were soaked through with blood, and the tops of his pants were stained crimson as well.
“What if I don’t want to?” he whispered.
Sadly I can't copy the whole fic in because that's Excessive, but the dialogue of this piece...MMM. I loved writing it. I love re-reading it. It still makes me tear up. I wrote this when I was still a teenager and yet it remains so punchy. And everyone yelled at me for it, which is always a good sign.
15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?
Hey, Asshole! No contest, it has to be Hey, Asshole! because I want to see an FF7 COMEDY, babey! Would HA actually translate well to a screenplay? No probably not. But man would it be fun to watch someone try.
