2, 5, 6, 18, 19, 20, 25, and 32?
2) What fandoms do you write for and do you have a particular favourite if you write for more than one?
Answered! Thunderbirds is by far my favourite fandom right now. I really don’t see myself writing for anything else for the foreseeable future.
5) If you had to choose a favourite out of all of your multi chaptered stories, which would it be and why?
Oh boy, that’s a tough one. Hmm! Well, current bias makes me want to say Talented Amateurs, but honestly it’s probably Texting Free on Evenings and Weekends. Purely because of how unique and innovative and satisfying it is, it’s really just a wonderfully clever story and I hope I can achieve something similar again someday.
6) If you had to delete one of your stories and never speak of it again, which would it be and why?
I have a love/hate relationship with a lot of my earliest stuff for the fandom, because I think most of it is not very good. However, I kind of specifically have a weird personal objection to glitterbomb, which a lot of people seem to love, and which I can’t genuinely find a reason to hate, other than just that I think it’s kind of low-hanging fruit as far as what I’m capable of writing.
18) Do you have any abandoned WIP’s? What made you abandon them?
nnnnyehh I guess. I guess I do? I mean, obviously I do. I think anyone who’s been following my body of work for a while now probably even knows exactly what they are. But I think deep down every writer always believes they’re going to come back to the stories that never quite found their footing---and sometimes I do! one of my absolute favourite oneshots is something that I put down the first few paragraphs of, abandoned for like a year, and then came back and finished when inspiration struck. I dunno!
19) Are there any stories that you’ve written that you’d really love to do a sequel to?
An Elegant Escapade makes me really really hope that The Ace Advantage takes off in the way it deserves. I’m gonna make so many goddamn tennis puns. But! As answered above, sometimes it takes a long time for the right ideas to spark in the right way. EE took me well over a year to write, but when I was writing it, it was sort of uniquely brilliant in a way that’s always stuck with me.
20) Are there any stories that you wished you’d ended differently?
mm! hmm. I actually keep meaning to go back and tweak the ending of the Harvard Hypocrite so that it lines up a little closer with the canon that grew up around it.
25) Have you ever cried whilst writing a story?
I cried writing the end of Heavenward.
32) Are any of your characters based on real people?
Not usually! One thing I love about TAG is its readily available stock of interesting NPCs, and I’m more likely to repurpose a minor character than I am to invent one out of whole cloth.
