KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER.
SEXUALITY: Pansexual (Up until recently I described myself as bisexual, but when I discovered what how pan was defined, I realised it fit me a lot better in terms of how I feel/love)
TAKEN OR SINGLE: Taken. Been with Him Indoors for over 10 years, married since August 2016.
I am a freelance photographer and graphic artist, though I havenât done much of the latter lately. Photography is my passion, and I enjoy taking and editing photos of everything I can. When I go on holidays, I tend to experience most of it through one lens or another, but that doesnât reduce the fun I have. I love capturing memories, as well as being artistic with them.
I have suffered from anxiety and depression on and off for around 7-8 years (when I was diagnosed) but likely longer un-diagnosed. It made my life hell for quite a while, and was triggered by a whole bunch of stuff going wrong in succession in my life. My husband (then, boyfriend) stood by my side through everything even though I did my very best to push him away, and I am forever grateful for that.
I am looking forward to the future - a positive future filled with fun and laughter and possibilities, as well as more trials and tribulations. Itâs weird to think that almost a decade ago I was considering ending my life, because if I had then I wouldnât have the wonderful partner, friends, and future I have today. Iâm so glad I gave myself a second chance.
HOW LONG (MONTHS / YEARS?): RP experience: I actually had to check with @gateruner on this one, because it feels like ages ago and yet no time at all. Weâre guessing roughly 7 months lol. I was inspired by her portrayal of Kono Kalakaua and we chatted for a little bit before I decided to bite the bullet and create loudhaoleinatie - I havenât looked back! Iâve had so much fun worked with her, and all my other RP partners!
Fanfiction experience: Iâve been writing since September 2015 (I went back through Ao3 to check the logs, lol) and itâs all been Hawaii Five-0. I started out absolutely terrified of anything smut-related, and... now look at me! Lol!
PLATFORMS YOUâVE USED: Tumblr for RPâing, Ao3 and fanfiction.net for fics.
BEST EXPERIENCE: Working with my Kono from day one, definitely. We click so well, and seem to predict one anotherâs moves and characters so easily. Itâs really easy to plan ahead, and we both get equally excited about our babies. I was so glad to find a fellow Surf n Turfer who shared my love for Danny/Kono! She was also instrumental in getting me into RPing and making sure I wasnât a massive disaster/nuisance to anyone else! :D Also working with my Steves, my Chin and my Harris - you are all fantastic, and make every day an experience!
FEMALE OR MALE: Danny is my only muse right now - there is something about him that speaks to me, but itâs not about gender as such. I think his character in female form would mesh with me in a similar way. It does help, however, that he is brought to life on screen by the delicious and irresistable Scott Caan... I mean... look at him!
MULTI OR SINGLE: Single-muse, certainly for now. I like to concentrate on my boy. I am most certainly a multi-shipper though, and I have several regular threads for Dannyâs vast collection of relationships! (Each member of the team, some twice, plus an OC... you naughty, smutty boy!)
FLUFF, ANGST OR SMUT: Smut, angst, fluff - in that order. I like them all, but smut seems to be where my talent lies, and angst is always great (and can often lead to more smut). I do also like fluff, but itâs probably my least-comfortable area of the three.
PLOTS OR MEMES: Both. Itâs so much fun to plot, but doing little side memes and short mini-plots can help spark the imagination and ensure your main plot doesnât get boring or sidetracked.
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: Both, again. Depending on whatâs going on in the plot, or whatâs going on in real life, one might be more fitting that the other.
BEST TIME TO WRITE: I do a lot of my writing on the bus to/from work in the mornings or afternoons, and on my breaks I can go and hide out in the canteen in a dark corner. I have also been known to wake up in the middle of the night to jot down ideas/sentences/dialogue.
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): In a few ways, yes. I like to think I am as passionate and loyal as Danny, and I am certainly as protective, and I hate it when my friends are upset. He is deeply affected by the people he lets into his life, and finds it hard to trust and love... but when he does, he does with all his heart. That certainly resonates with me. I am also just as imperfect and faulted as he is, and prone to taking vengeance and being petty or spiteful (Side note: someone once stole some of my nice, expensive coffee of of the jar I accidentally left on the side in the kitchen at work, so the next day I left an identical jar in there filled with a mix of crap coffee and beef gravy granules... the thief struck again, and I had my revenge! Petty? Yes. Satisfying? Damn right. Danny-like? Hahaha yes, definitely!)
