Lakshman, Kaikeyi - Two characters meme.

Lakshmana vs Kaikeyi

Kaikeyi. She was a warrior in her youth and I love to imagine that she taught the boys fighting in their younger years. While she can give in to her worst impulses, I see her as being more self-controlled that Lakshmana, and capable of holding her own in a fight.

Lakshmana or Kaikeyi

Lakshmana. Firebrand chhota bhai forever.

Lakshmana and Kaikeyi

In childhood, they get along, if not the closest of mothers and sons; after Rama’s coronation day, I don’t think Lakshmana ever brings himself to speak to her again willingly. :(

1,5,9,13 - Happy fic ask

1. What part of the writing process is the most enjoyable?

That moment at some point in drafting when I stop worrying about adhering to the outline or getting all the words right and I can just sit back and let the words flow.

That, and receiving comments.

5. Have you had a writer you admire comment on your fic? What was that like?

Several times, and it was better than being accepted into college.

9. What inspired you to write your first fic?

My first fic was a Dramione oneshot... I honestly don't know what inspired me to write it and I don't care to examine my memories.

13. Describe your writing style. If you were to participate in an anonymous fic writers guessing game (like The Masked Author), what writing habits do you have that would be a dead giveaway that it's you?

Dead giveaways would be the overuse of italics/semicolons/em-dashes, and long sentences.

For the 65 questions: 34, 57, 65 and 22.

34. What was your last dream about?

The last dream was some kind of nightmare that my younger sibling had a bad substitute teacher (with blonde hair) and then she came to our house in the middle of the night and tried to burn it down. And I remember standing at our front door at midnight, looking through a sheer curtain out the window, because I'd heard a disturbance, and hearing her whisper "Hi" in my ear before I woke up.

57. What is the last thing you drew a picture of?

A rough sketch of the webpage I'm trying to code.

65. Freebie! Ask anything interesting you can think of.

I want to commission/tip people on here since I start my first job in a little over a month, but I'm scared of attaching my legal name to my fannish identity. Does anyone have any tips on how to exchange $$$ without doxxing yourself?

22. Do you have a secret talent? If yes, what is it?

Not really.

I am a huge scaredy-cat.
