asks for the author: #10, #19, and/or #23?
19 Who is the easiest/hardest character for you to write about? Why?
Bucky Barnes is both easy and hard. Partly because I based my early Bucky (in Widow’s Tale) on the comics version, then tried to shoehorn that character to fit the MCU characterization. (Note to self: Never do that. MCU has butchered a number of characters over the course of the movies’ run, Bucky being key among them.) I finally managed to get a good handle on Bucky in Hands of Clay (domestic modern dad guy)... only to run up against a wall to try to forget all of that when writing Hour of the Wolf (traumatized time travelling werewolf).
But does that stop me? No.
23 If you had to remix one of your own fics, which would it be and how would you remix it?
I did a bit of this with Dawning Light back in the day, played around with what it would be like for Dawn to have fallen through the portal into the Supernatural world (first and second). Dean Winchester as a surprised adoptive dad to a hyper-smart five-year-old would have put a very interesting twist on things.
But for other fics... it would be interesting to remix Hands of Clay to have Steve be Natasha’s dad, and Bucky having adopted Clint. Or in Hour of the Wolf, to have a few different scenarios - such as Allison going back in time to when she was eight years old and Kate about to kill the Hale family (this story, of course, gets the delightful moniker of Tween Wolf), or in the original story Chris finding out about Allison’s real lineage when Allison was a year old and dropping her on the closet available doorstep (the Stilinskis’, obviously) so Allison and Stiles could grow up as real siblings (making what Allison did to Derek in the future So Much Worse for everyone involved).
I can write fanfic of my own fanfic any day of the week.
