ac :p

1. Do you daydream a lot before you write, or go for it as soon as the ideas strike?

18. Do you enjoy research? Which fic of yours required the most research?

48. Who is your favorite character to write for? Has this changed since you’ve started writing for that fandom?

49. What fic of yours would you say is the best introduction to you as a writer?

A sort of fun (hopefully) grab-bag of questions 😀

i have another ask coming in about 1 and 49 so i'm going to save those BUT!! here we go

18. i LOVE research!! honestly, the one requiring the most research is the one coming up next - i've been neck deep in trying to figure out how to manipulate ancient greek wedding customs into something that fits for my characters. i also think a ton went into "nobody knows how to get back home," which i wrote ages ago - but i had to figure out a lot of comic lore about the red room, so we were in a weird weird weird space there.

48. okay so i'm going to do this one by fandom because it feels a little unfair to compare my girls:

in xena fics, i think my favorite will always be gabrielle. i get her on levels that i didn't know were possible, and since she's both a writer and very in touch with her own feelings, i get to play around with language in ways i wouldn't get to do with other characters. and i always get the chance to put her in weird situations. gabrielle's never had a normal day in her life.

for marvel: this may surprise people, but i've always preferred writing natasha to everyone else. i got my start writing black widow, and i miss her OFTEN. similarly i do have a great time writing yelena. there's something so dry about the way she delivers things, and her dialogue's always come super easily to me because she just has such a distinct voice to begin with.
