This is the best fandom ever... I love everybody in it. *_* I thought for sure I'd be all alone shipping Jaime/Brienne, but nooo! Nothing could be farther from the truth. J/B looks like one of the biggest and most dedicated sparts of the whole GOT-fandom actually! I'm so happy finding all these blogs dedicate to them. Jaime and Brienne deserve all the love and then some! Love, Rei
I was tagged by reading a post that lured me in with a seemingly harmless 'read more' link. Damn my curiosity. Now, let me do the same thing to YOU:
(Answer the bottom 10 questions, then make up 10 of your own and tag 10 people to answer them. Remember to tell them they’ve been tagged!)
These are ironspy's questions:
1. Favourite Christmas song? If you don’t celebrate it, favourite spooky song?
I don't think that I have a favorite Christmas song, so I'm gonna go with the spooky one. It's not really spooky, more of a funny spooky and it's in German: die ärzte - Monsterparty
2. Favourite colour combination?
Red/Black
3. A talent you wish you could magically acquire?
Something I could otherwise never get like IDK being able to fly or do magic or something cool like that. :P
4. Favourite robot?
R2D2. Or, having recently watched Castle in the Sky, the Robot from Laputa that takes care of the animals and lays flowers on the grave.
5. Favourite animated film?
WOAH IDK I LOVE SO MANY. But definetly one directed/written by Hayao Miyazaki. Of all his work, I think Princess Mononoke is the first one I watched, so I'll go with that one. But others are great too. Disney, Pixar, the FF movies, etc etc.
6. Which Powerpuff Girl are you most like?
No idea, I've never watched it.
7. Did you dress up for halloween? What as? If you didn’t what would you love to dress up as?
This year? No, I went to a concert of my favorite band. But maybe I would've dressed up as a witch if I'd gone to a party.
8. A song you’re loving right now?
Again, I can't decide, here is the preview for Imagine Dragons' new album Night Visions which is insanely good. My personal favorites are Tiptoe, Amsterdam and Bleeding Out.
9. Thing that irritates you but shouldn’t?
When I did something wrong and I'm really ashamed of what I did, I usually get angry with the person who actually has every to be angry with me (lol I'm not good at explaining feelings).
10. QUICK! I’M IN A MAGIC HELICOPTER AND I CAN TAKE YOU ANYWHERE ANYWHEN! WHERE ARE WE GOING? WHO ARE WE PICKING UP ALONG THE WAY?! HURRY!
ANYONE WHO FOLLOWS ME BECAUSE I'D REALLY LIKE TO MEET YOU GUYS!
Ugh, coming up with ten questions at 1AM is so hard.
Think of the last person you talked to. What are you going to get them for Christmas this year?
Favorite book you read this year?
Favorite movie that you watched this year? Wow, I'm being very creative here.
Tell me about your newest fandom obsession. What's the reason you got hooked?
And your current OTP?
If you could get anything for Christmas, really anything, what would you wish for?
I wanna listen to new music. Any recommendations?
You and your friends ordered pizza but a zombie is delivering it! What's your reaction?
How would your parents react if they should ever discover your tumblr?
Shit, the world is supposed to end this year! Is there something you desperately want to do before the end of 2012?

I can't wait for more! =) And I know you felt insecure about your portrayal of Gwen - but I really wanted to say I loved her in the last chapter. I could actually hear Emma Stone's voice when she told Peter HOW NOT OKAY this (the bruises on his body and everything) is. She was so fierce and protective, and also so "don't shit with me now, this is serious!" which I really liked. And it was actually pretty great, because that's totally what Tony and Steve should have been doing
I am insecure about Gwen's portrayal. I don't understand Gwen as a character, which makes her basically impossible to write. I understand her in relation to Peter, but not as an independent person which I think makes her fall flat. But I'm glad you picked up on the one section that I had conviction on, haha. In order to improve my understanding of her I'm going to try to write a bit from her perspective. You may or may not ever see these drabbles that I'm doing, but they should help me out, at least.
And yes, it is what Tony and Steve should be doing. They're a little distracted at the moment. I'm not saying it's an excuse, just a fact.
When are you going to write more? <3 I really love your fic (as you probably know by now *g*)
Well, as I noted in the tags, I can multitask (meaning, I'm also writing right now). I just like to talk to people while I do, and getting feedback as I'm going can be helpful.I think your question is not, when will you write more as I write all the time. I think your question is when will more be posted. As to that I can't say for certain. I'm going to try to release part two of chapter eight tomorrow, but of course that will likely only be a paltry three thousand words or so.
I'm glad you like the stories! And I do know, as I recognize that you're one of the people who pretty much always leaves me a lovely ask after I post something new. <3 It's appreciated probably more than you know!
OMG! The new chapter is so so good! *sobbing* Oh Peter and Gwen are so perfect and awesome and wonderful. But Tony ... oh Tony! And Steve's note to Peter! Hear that sound? it's just my heart breaking, no worries ....
Aw, thanks dear. I'm glad you liked my Peter/Gwen since I don't. :/ I don't think I've fleshed Gwen out enough as a character and I'm afraid her scenes fall flat. But I will try to do better.
And I know, I know, I'm sure everyone right now is thinking 'oh, Tony!' But there's a good reason for his out of character (and yet in character? ha) behavior that will be explained both in later chapters of LID and of course gone into depth with in the next chapter of WPDK.
And I consider it a point of personal pride that with that very short text your heart breaks. It means I've done my job! Hooray!
