Multiples of five for the writer asks!
20. favorite character to write
Kara Lynn Palamas, Amy or Cordelia, I think.
25. favorite line you’ve ever written
Oh man I don’t even have a clue. But one that comes to mind offhand that I really like is this one:
“Part of Xander couldn’t help but think that Cordelia looked incredibly hot, despite the situation. Standing there with her short sword dripping blood, having just attacked the demon to keep it from attacking him… she was just lacking a suit of ridiculously impractical leather armor and a chakram.” (From ICC Season 2, Episode 17)
30. hardest part of writing
The motivation to actually write it all out.
35. single story or multi-part story?
Multipart. Always. My ideas are always too sweeping to tell in something short.
40. which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series
Oh man, all of them? God, if I had to pick, probably Iron Coin, just because it’s the one I’m most proud of. And I’d get to see Xandelia still together, Faimy onscreen, werewolf Willow, all the good stuff.
45. share the synopsis of a story you work on that you haven’t published yet
Well, I don’t really sit on unpublished stories, but here’s the synopsis of a story I desperately really want to write (and will), so:
Amy Madison has had a rough year and a half since she cast that hex on Willow. Fleeing Sunnydale ahead of the potential wrath of the witch she just wronged. Unfortunately, addiction is a beast she hasn’t conquored - and between her own demons and the constant threat of relapse hanging over her, Amy’s made one bad choice after another. And now she’s in Cleveland, more an accident than anything else. Her life a mess, and she’s trying to pick up the pieces - she’s managed to get herself a part time job and she’s looking to community college - she’s indebting herself up to her eyeballs, and that much took a little subtle magical manipulation, but Amy wants, needs to make something of her life. To be more than this drugged out, bitter wreck of a woman who reminds her of nothing so much as her own mother.
Into this half-life she’s busy living, steps Faith and Buffy, who are setting up the New Council on the Cleveland Hellmouth.- they need the help of a powerful witch, and with Willow unavailable, they turn to her. The Chosen Two, girlfriends at last, are hesitant to ask for her help, but she’s the only option - and Amy is in no place to say know when they offer her money and… and a purpose.
What starts as little more than a glorified business relationship becomes first a friendship and then something more - Amy falls in love with not one, but two wholly unavailable women... two women who are in love with each other.
Never in Amy’s wildest dreams would she have guessed that the two of them have fallen for her too.
But before anyone can realize any of this... another threat rises on the Hellmouth, one that forces Amy to risk every bit of her painstakingly rebuilt life: can Amy use her magic to help Buffy, Faith and the rest defeat this new foe without the magic taking a hold of her again? Or is relapse and descent back into hell the only option she has, if she wants to save the women she loves?
Okay, so that’s kind of a long synopsis, but yeah, that’s the plot of the still unnamed Buffy/Faith/Amy story (this leaves out the whole Tara and Wesley coming back to life, Tara and Willow going on a several months vacation which is why she’s unavailable and Wesley and Illyria as a background subplot, but then the synopsis would be even more overdetailed)
50. open question to the writer
