17, 20, 33, 48 and an additional question that should be on the list: would you ever consider writing a fic including dinosaurs? :D
17) Post a line from a WIP that youāre working on.
They donāt put men and women together. Itās policy. Some cobbled together nonsense they managed to write before the disaster struck.
With the vast majority of the population gone the last thing they want is for the unremarkable ones left to start breeding. She only got lucky that his original partner succumbed to the fallout before he could get to the bunker. Even thinking that feels wrong, there is nothing lucky about another person meeting their death, and yet itās given her a chance at life. Tucked away down here with this man she doesnāt know while they keep a bunch of very important people alive in their cryo chambers until the dust settles.
She hopes heās nice. Hopes heās sane. Wouldnāt say no to the only person sheāll get to speak to for the next two dozen years having a sense of humor, either.
Maybe none of that matters, though, because theyāll only have to see each other for an hour every six months.
Nothing much can happen in an hour. Nothing much at all.
(okay, thatās more than a line but I couldnāt stop it sooner, I fail)
20) Are there any stories that you wished youād ended differently?
Hmm, not really. I usually feel pretty good about my endings since I often know how I want to end a story before I begin it. I do have my moments, though, where I wonder if ending everything on a happy note is taking the easy way out, if maybe I should sprinkle in a little angst every now and then, but ultimately I prefer a happy or hopeful ending, itās what I want to read when I settle in with a fic and so itās what I write, too.
33) Whatās the biggest compliment youāve gotten?
I think my favorite is when someone tells me that I get the characterization right and that they can picture the scene happening as if it were on the show. Especially if theyāre talking about Daryl because his character has been so all over the place on the show that he can be tough to nail down sometimes. If I can manage to harness even a little bit of him that feels authentic to the reader, then I feel pretty darn good.
48) Whatās your favourite trope to write?
Hurt/Comfort with a side of bed sharing and nightmares :P Ā Can that be its own trope? All of that combined? I need rehab for it.
And for your last very important question, funny you should ask, but I have been considering adding some dinos into my fics. Are you a mind reader? Weird that youād ask that right when Iām pondering it. Hmmm. Every fic is better with a T-rex in it.
