Where can we find you?
a_special_unicorn (Ao3)... that's it haha
How long have you been in the fandom?
If I look at my old FFN (that shall not be named) my first fic was 17 years ago!! Though most of it I've been on break. As Asu I've only been here 4ish months :) Who is your favorite character?
Dorothy Catalonia >:) And Wufei is a close second. I'm still going through all the characters and dynamics but these two stand out to me.
Favorite Gundam?
Deathscythe!! I love it's style and am a sucker for a scythe wielder
Which character do you relate to the most and why?
Probably Relena? Or Quatre... the struggle of being diplomatic and inclusive while trying to get things done. I often fall into the role of peacemaker even though usually I just want to be dumb and shitpost ahaha What is your favorite scene (or quote) in Gundam Wing?
I have no idea how you pick just one. I know growing up I loved all the Heero and Relena scenes (1xR OTP!) but there are so many great interactions and telling scenes that get better as I get older. When you suddenly *get* what's going on with the characters and why they react the way they do.
What fanwork, that you've created, are you most proud of and why?
Right now it's Powerful, a feminist piece that explores how Relena and Dorothy may have met again after Endless Waltz, and their relationship through their respective careers. It's sparked some of the most interesting comments and conversations, which is what I try to do with my more serious works, so I'm very happy with that.
But if my greatest contribution to fandom is my potato comparison chart... well... I won't complain ;) What would you tell your younger self about Gundam Wing and why?
I don't know! I'm pretty happy with my Gundam Wing journey. I loved coming back years later with a lot more experiences and seeing that the fandom has really grown and evolved, I love the amount of representation and support in the community. I look forward to growing together with everyone, and bringing in a positive attitude towards all the characters!
