R & T!
R: Which writers (fanfic or otherwise) do you consider the biggest influence on you and your writing?
I guess everything I've ever read? I think it depends on what I'm writing, my main project right now is high fantasy so I'm mainly looking at Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, little bit of Angie Sage probably, but this particular bit I'm writing is boat based so I went and read Treasure Island and Jim's not been on a boat before and a lot of the journey gets skimmed but I'm following the same "chuck some sailing words in there and have the main pov character have no experience or anything" way of writing it, who's going to know the difference anyway. I might read Kidnapped and Catronia again, those are Stevenson too, and I haven't read them for a while but Kidnapped at least I'm sure has an extended part on a ship.
T: Any fanfic tropes you can’t stand?
The one I can't spell where unrequited love makes them cough up flowers until it gets reciprocated or they die. It just feels bad.
Thank you!
