Fic writer asks #3, 8 and 22, please. :)
3. What’s something you learned about yourself as a writer?
hmmm... i suppose that i am actually capable of writing something i'm proud of under time pressure. most previous years i've done exchanges i've either managed to do it ahead of time and been happy or slid in under the wire and felt like i'd cheated because i didn't really like what i'd written. as it is now i like everything i've written this year, even if i struggled getting things finished!
8. Did you write for a new fandom or ship this year?
fuck yeah i did! i think the only returning fandoms this year were wimsey and rivers of london, both in crossovers, everything else was new! i even started out with legends & lattes, it's been new fandoms all the way down
22. Share an excerpt from your favorite scene
my favourite scene is a bit of a cheat, because it's the entirety of covert operation (a fic i wrote to spite someone on the biggles forum)! i will cling to this headcanon til my dying breath
He found that his hands had fisted themselves in his trousers. He was yet to dress for bed; his batman despaired at the number of times Biggles had slept in his uniform, still waiting for a nighttime raid to come off.
“Christ, Biggles, I didn’t mean anything by it,” said Algy. He had his hands out as one might soothe a wild animal. “Only that I wanted to let you know that I know, if that makes sense. That you needn’t be so careful around me, if you don’t want to.”
“I’m not being careful,” said Biggles, scornfully. “You really don’t get it. You think I’m just dressing up, don’t you?”
“Then what is it?” asked Algy. He spread his hands. “I know I might seem frightfully stupid from time to time, but I do try to understand things.”
