Five things that make me happy:

Writing

Harry Potter

Dogs (most specifically my dogs)

Reading

1: Describe your comfort zone - a typical you-fic It’s either short character-centric slice-of-life snippets that may or may not have something to do with that character’s arc…or it’s the apocalypse.

15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose? I got this question twice so I’m going to cheat and give different answers. I answer phoenix a lot for these memes, and there’s definitely stuff about it that I’d change (there’s always things I’d change about fic once I’m a few years removed from it), but so much of that fic came from images I held very clearly in my mind, that I wouldn’t mind seeing it outside of my head.

21. How many times do you usually revise your fic/chapter before posting? It depends. If it’s something that I’m writing quickly on my phone just to get the words out and it’s only a couple hundred words that doesn’t have much bearing on anything, I’ll only read over it to make sure that autocorrect didn’t do anything weird. If it’s something I care about a little more, whether because it’s a scene/story that’s important to me or it’s important to the characters (this is a little more relevant to things dealing with my Shepards than other stuff) or it’s a gift fic, I’ll do an edit and then let it sit overnight and read it a few more times in the morning before hitting post.

We finally got Luna’s mom’s name! Maybe Lucius will be next…

I really hope we get to potentially see her and Abraxas in Fantastic Beasts! Or, at the very least, learn some more via Pottermore. I've been itching to know for so long now!

I don’t get that if wizards live longer than the average muggle then where the fuck are Dracos grandparents like really? ONE of them is bound to be alive.

14. Would you want to write canon for any of your fandoms (like be hired by showrunner to do an episode)? Which one?

You know, Silviya asked me this the last time this meme went around and I answered an emphatic hell no. But now I think, maybe? If Bioware really is doing ME4, I’d love to be part of that.

I’m in huge favor of an Earth 2 remake/reboot (the show was pretty terrible, but if anyone bothered to give it the time of day it could’ve been great). So if anyone has the capital to do that, let me know.

But, and this goes for all canons I’d possibly write for, the circumstances would need to be very specific:

it’d need to be a new-ish canon without many world rules/plots set up already

or

it’d need to be an established canon whose established plots I either have very little beef with, or whose established plots have very little to do with what I’m working on.

16. 3 favorite comments ever received on fanfic.

Picking only three favorite comments that make me feel warm and fuzzy is tough, so I’m gonna pick three that made me question the value of humanity.

I’m not too fond of the part where Cissa uses the Imperius Curse  [[the prompt was Lucius/Narcissa - Imperio]]

don’t forget "next time a bunch of geth bunker themselves down in a building I, get the snacks" "what’s wrong with these?" "they taste like you mixed 1/4 asari in them" "…only you wrex"[[??? ?? ?????? ? ????]]

when i started shipping or if i ship it: I started shipping it at about the same time I started having a huge Narcissa Malfoy problem in my life, right around when the sixth movie came out. And honestly I think I shipped it because "I want to read Narcissa-centric fic and if I go through her AO3 tag looking for only Narcissa fic then I'm gonna be very disappointed and bored so I guess I'll read this Narcissa/Lucius stuff along the way."

my thoughts: I've been so far down the Narcissa/Lily rabbit hole for so long that I honestly forgot I shipped these two. I think they fell in love at Hogwarts, but Narcissa really made him work for it.

what makes me happy about them: Narcissa. It's not that I don't care about Lucius, it's that standing next to Narcissa he seems very small and dull. Also that in the middle of a night of extreme terror, they both decided to tell Voldemort to go fuck himself and care about their son instead.

what makes me sad about them: that Lucius is so damaged after his stint in Azkaban, and they're both generally a disaster after living under Voldemort's rule for so long, that it'll take them ages to return to their pre-war happiness again, if they ever make it.

things done in art/fic that annoy me: anything that indicates that their relationship is disrespectful or unhealthy. Also I'm kind of over the arranged marriage trope, and the Lucius Is A Lot Older trope.

things i look for in art/fic: a respectful, loving relationship; it may have its ups and downs and Narcissa may be pissed as hell that Lucius opened their door to Voldemort and said "sure man, come in and have a sleepover," but at the end of the day - they're still a partnership.

my kinks: dom!Narcissa

who i’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I don't think of Lucius much outside the context of his relationship with Narcissa, and Narcissa/Lily is my Harry Potter OTP.

boshtetcheerleader replied to your post “purple and blue (shepard/garrus; g)”

i did not squeal at the cuteness. nope. not even a little bit.

Liv and Garrus are such dorks. I've no idea how they're functional on the battlefield together. I have a bunch of unfinished snippets that's just the entire crew rolling their eyes at the two of them.

mcmori reblogged your post don't be afraid, you've just got your ... and added:

SARA I JUST FOUND THIS IN MY TAG AND NOW I HAVE MASCARA RUNNING DOWN MY FACE.

I'M GENUINELY SORRY. I had no intention of that going in that direction but it just happened. I'm still so angry at that episode. Your other prompt fills won't be so horribly depressing, I promise.

thievinghippo replied to your post: one cell in the sea

Oh I liked this a lot. The banter was excellent. And I have the same headcanon, that Solana and Nyreen used to be lovers!

Hunger Games edition. tl;dr Sara is very defensive about Effie Trinket and side-eyes the fuck out of anyone who thinks otherwise

Favourite Female: EFFIE TRINKET

Favourite Male: Haymitch Abernathy

3 Other Favourite Characters: All the careers, Johanna Mason, Buttercup (because we have similar feelings toward Katniss)

3 OTPs: Haymitch/Effie. The only ship I care about in this fandom, I am not even kidding.

Notp: Katniss/literally anyone; I was not invested in that love triangle in the least

Funniest character: For as much as I dislike her, Katniss has some awesome deadpan moments. EFFIE IS NOT COMIC RELIEF AND NEITHER IS HAYMITCH I STG I AM NOT REALLY IN THIS FANDOM TO KNOW IF THAT’S A COMMON ASSUMPTION BUT I WILL WHIP OUT MY 2X4 OF EDUCATION FOR ANYONE WHO SAYS SO

Prettiest character: well I’m going on movies here, so Johanna Mason.

Most Annoying Character: Katniss. Being 1POV these books were pretty rough for me.

Most badass character: Effie Trinket LOOK I WILL PHYSICALLY FIGHT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO ARGUE EFFIE’S BADASSERY. I WILL FLY TO WHERE YOU LIVE AND FIGHT ON YOUR DOORSTEP. SHE EMBODIED EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAPITOL FOR TWO BOOKS AND WAS THROWN IN PRISON BY THOSE SAME PEOPLE, PEOPLE SHE ADORED HER ENTIRE LIFE. AND SHE MADE IT OUT THE OTHER SIDE IN ONE PIECE. AND IF YOU WANT TO TELL ME THAT KNOWING HOW TO USE A GODDAMN BOW MAKES SOMEONE FUNDAMENTALLY MORE BADASS THAN HAVING THE EMOTIONAL STRENGTH TO MAKE IT THROUGH CAPITOL IMPRISONMENT - AND WE KNOW FROM FINNICK THAT BEING A CAPITOL DARLING ISN’T EXACTLY A CAKEWALK CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT PRISON IS LIKE - THEN YOU CAN FUCK RIGHT OFF OKAY I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT THIS

Character I’d like as my BFF: Johanna Mason

Female Character I’d Marry: I’m a mess and they’re a mess and that’s too much mess for a marriage

Male Character I’d Marry: I’m a mess and they’re a mess and that’s too much mess for a marriage

Character I hate/dislike/least like: my problem with YA novels is that 95% of the time I hate the protagonist; this is not one of the 5%.

Pacific Rim edition. tl;dr Sara likes Russians and not Raleigh Beckett

Favourite Female: Sasha Kaidonovsky

Favourite Male: Stacker Pentecost

3 Other Favourite Characters: Aleksis Kaidonovsky, Mako Mori, Hannibal Chau

3 OTPs: Sasha/Aleksis, Cherno Alpha/Sasha/Aleksis, Hannibal Chau/Shoes

Notp: Newt/Hermann. It doesn’t make me recoil or anything but my hatred of white dude slash ships runs really deep.

Funniest character: Hannibal Chau

Prettiest character: Sasha Kaidonovsky

Most Annoying Character: Raleigh Beckett

Most badass character: Mako Mori

Character I’d like as my BFF: Sasha Kaidonovsky
