hilsLeave me a comment saying "interview me."
I will ask you five questions.
Post the answers on your lj and then interview your friends!
1. You've mentioned in the past that you consider yourself asexual yet you write a lot of erotic fanfic. What gives?
Do you have to have experienced something to be able to write about it? I would say a good 99% of slash writers aren't gay men but they still write about gay sex. The simple answer is just because I don't want to have sex doesn't mean I'm going to deny it to my characters. They're not asexual, and writing sex is fun!
2. Who is your favourite fictional character and why?
Wow, that's a really hard question. I love lots of different fictional characters for lots of differnt reasons. I'm going to say Spike, just because I was saying to Greg today how refreshing he is in a world that tends to write vampires as brooding and emo.
3. Who do you admire?
I admire anyone who achieves their goals.
4. Ever been in a fandom yet refused to write fanfic about it?
I think refused is the wrong word. There are lots of fandoms I'm in that don't compel me to write fanfic. It's all about the characters and if they speak loudly enough to me, or if there's something I desperately want to see, I'll write it. If they don't, then I don't
5. We've already established that Twilight is full of sparkly vampires. What do you think vampires should be like?
Definitely not sparkly. LOL! I think I've sort of answered this already with my comments about Spike. I'd much rather see vamps having fun than being all dark and broody.
1. If you had to move where would you chose to live?
Anywhere in the world? Well, I like to be close to my family but ignoring that I'd love to live in Tuscany
2. What's one thing people never believe about you?
I'm 29 and still a virgin (although I don't know why anyone would think I'd make that up)
3. What film are you looking forward to seeing/being made?
Iron Man 2! Even though they've replaced the actor playing Rhodey :(
4. Perfect Pet? Real or Imagined?
I'd love a silver tabby cat
5. Who would you switch places with for a day?
Allion Mack, so I could hang around with Tommy all day
1. Would you keep writing fanfic even if you knew noone would ever see it? Why?
Well, I used to write fanfic before I got online so from that perspective I probably would. On the other hand comments are teh crack and now I've had them I'm not sure I could do without them. LOL. I think if there was a story I felt passionately enough about I'd still write it
2. Who was your first celebrity crush?
Christopher Reeve
3. Who is the first person you call when you have fabulous news?
I generally text everyone and then wait for them to call me ;)
4. What is your favourite drink?
Orange juice
5. What one book do you think everyone on the planet should read?
Ack! I change my mind about this all the time! Captain Corelli's Mandolin
1. Have you ever broken a bone? If yes, what bone and how?
No, I never have
2. What's your all time favorite vacation?
Slayercruise! Seriously, it was a Buffy con held on a cruise ship that went around the Caribbean. Cannot put into words how awesome it was
3 Do you have any tattoos? If yes, what and where - if no, would you?
I don't have any but I would consider it if there was no pain involved. LOL
4. What is your favorite song at the moment?
Bad Thing by Jace Everett
5. Do you normally remember your dreams?
More often than not, yes. I post about them quite a lot. Look at the size of my 'dreams' tag
