Ship that you find most sexy?

Honestly, I feel like you and I have the same mindset when it comes to sexiest ship: Maxiel. They really are freak4freak. I love how obsessed they are with each other in so many fics, and how they can somehow make almost anything work. There are kinks I’d probably find appalling in almost any other context, but with Maxiel I’m like…well. I do see the vision. They can make the strangest, most disgusting, most deranged things interesting to me, which is a compliment. That said, I also think there’s something in the sauce Galex writers put into Galex. I can’t fully explain it, but there’s something very sexy there too. Something about the dynamic just works when it works. I think it's sexy how in most fics they are attracted to each others confidence and how Alex thinks George's strangeness is hot. Alex being firm is also kinda sexy because we usually only see his jokey, charming side, so when he gets angry, soft or firm...it's a nice switch.

Ship that is most misunderstood?

Definitely Gax, though obviously I can only really speak about ships I’ve personally interacted with or thought about a lot. I don’t think Gax is just an enemies-to-lovers ship, and I don’t really like when people flatten it into that. I also really don’t like when Max gets written as this dark, brooding bad-boy romance hero type, because that is not Max to me at all. And on the other side, I don’t love when people baby George either. Obviously people can write whatever they want, but for me, those heavy stereotypes make the ship less interesting. What I find compelling about them is that they’re actually so similar. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: they’re two sides of the same coin. One hides behind a mask, and the other has a mask so transparent it reveals almost as much as it hides. Their differences are stark enough that it becomes really interesting to notice the similarities underneath. That’s what makes the dynamic fun to play with for me. It’s not just “they hate each other, therefore tension.” It’s the fact that they recognize something in each other and absolutely hate that they do. And also, shipping has nothing to do with which driver I actually support. I am absolutely on Max’s side, and I want him to beat George every single time, always, forever. That does not mean I can’t enjoy a good Gax fic. I contain multitudes.

For the controversial ship ask game!

Ship that you’re indifferent to?

Well, I’m probably not going to make a lot of friends with this take, but Landoscar is a ship I feel pretty indifferent toward. I know there are amazing, wonderful fics for them, and I absolutely believe people when they say the ship works for them. It just doesn’t really excite me personally, if that makes sense. That said, I do firmly believe that the right fic can convince me of almost any ship, so never say never, etc. I also feel pretty indifferent toward Lestappen... if not borderline in dislike territory. For me, they’re kind of cardboard. There’s just not much there that makes my brain light up, and it’s one of those ships where I intellectually understand that it exists, but emotionally I’m just standing there like: hm. okay. I also feel pretty indifferent toward most Lewis ships that aren’t Brocedes or Lewis/Sebastian. TRULY indifferent there. Again, I’m sure there are great fics out there, and maybe I just haven’t read the right ones yet, but they’re not ships I would actively go looking for.

This is such an easy question because genuinely, anything would make me the happiest person alive. Anyone who knows me knows I’m obsessed with podfic. I listen to it all the time, and I’ve even had two tiny drabbles turned into podfics by an incredibly lovely person, which I treasure with my whole heart and soul. You can listen to them here and here (they are PERFECT and I am still over the moon). I also had a beautiful piece of art made for one of my favourite fics I’ve ever written, Double Horizon, which you can look at here. So honestly, any kind of transformative work would mean the absolute world to me!

For Tough to be Tender, the obvious fantasy, unreal answer is probably a movie, because it was inspired by You’ve Got Mail, so it’s very easy to imagine it in that format. And I would LOVE to see fandom portrayed correctly in popular media for once. Like imagine a romcom that actually understands online fandom culture instead of treating it like a zoo exhibit. I would ascend.

Ship that is unpopular but you still like?

I think I have to say carcar, if we’re counting that, because we did kind of build that ship out of sticks and vibes. It’s definitely not Oscar’s most popular ship, and it’s definitely not Carlos’s most popular ship either, so obviously I have to pick them after writing that much about them. And honestly, part of what I like about it is exactly that it’s so made up. There isn’t one agreed-upon dynamic, which means you can really pick and choose how you want to see them. Every author’s carcar feels a little different, and I think that makes the tiny fandom corner surprisingly varied and fun to play in. It’s just such a good little sandbox.

My guilty pleasure is definitely carlando, though, because some of those fics are genuinely immaculate. Like, I may not be actively living there anymore, but I do respect it.

I also really like malex, partly because Max and Alex are simply my favourite drivers, so of course my brain is going to try to put them together. I don’t necessarily think Alex would naturally be attracted to someone with a personality like Max’s, which is exactly what makes it interesting to me.

piarles has so much potential too. The fact that they call each other Calamar is, unfortunately, one of the most romantic things I’ve ever heard in my life. I know it’s a silly nickname, but this is rpf, everything is made up, and imagining it romantically is so sweet to me. I love the friends-to-lovers there, because they feel like people who would know each other intimately well in every possible way.

And sebchal is honestly one of the ships that got me properly into f1 rpf in the first place, so they’re still on my mind quite a lot. It’s the mentor/mentee thing, which I usually don’t even like, but Charles is so easy to ship with everyone and I love Sebastian with all my heart. Sebastian loving Charles just feels very easy to imagine, which is dangerous for me personally. <3
