I was tagged by the amazing people that are @i-am-negan-trash and @jdmfanfiction, so here goes!
1. What inspires your work most? (The show it is based on, the actor who portrays a certain character, maybe the character itself…? It could even be an experience.)
Everything, which is probably a really horrible answer. I’ve been making up stories since I was three, I just love it so much, and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t do some kind of writing. I’ve stolen conversations I’ve overheard on the bus, lines from movies and/or tv shows, my own experiences, my friend’s experiences.
2. What is your favorite fandom to write for?
Oh, fuck me. I’ve written for quite a few, but my favourites have got to be Harry Potter and Teen Wolf, just because they’re the ones I have the most practice in. Although, I’m really enjoying writing in the TWD universe right now. Hopefully I do it justice!
3. Which perspective do you prefer writing in? (First-person, third-person)
It depends on the character, the length of the story, and what the story is. The majority of my work, however, is written in first person.
4. Do you prefer writing reader fics or OCs?
OCs, but it’s also the only thing I’ve ever written.
5. Do you prefer writing longer works or one shots?
Longer, although I do enjoy the occasional short story because it’s out of my comfort zone and it always teaches me something.
As of right now, no. Maybe in the future? I dunno. If enough people want me to, then maybe I’ll give it a go.
7. Do you enjoy getting random Asks?
8. What inspires the names for OCs (or extra character names) in your works? Do you pick them from real life or just select them at random? A mix?
The main OC always has a name I love and kinda wish was mine. The name “Veronika” is taken out of thin air, but my Scandinavian heritage is the reason it’s written with a K rather than a C. Jason is named after a character I love from a book series. Kathy is a play on my own name, although her personality is based off a girl from my primary school.
9. If your story(ies) have OCs, are their appearances based on real people or celebrities? If so, who?
In my head, Veronika does look like a certain person, but I’d rather my readers make up their own version of her rather than just copy mine. I think it’s more important to get their personalities across, rather than their looks.
10. How long have you been writing fanfiction?
Since I was eight, so that’s fourteen years now. The worst part is probably that I was determined to write them in English, which isn’t my first language. I came across some of them recently, and I laughed so hard I looked like I’d been dumped.
I feel like everyone I know’s been tagged in this shit, but I think I found one! Love your stuff, so @thranduilsperkybutt, you’re up!
