1. What was the first genre you read fanfiction in?
- Buffy the Vampire slayer... Except genre usually means angst, fluff, smut etc, which I can not remember. Or possibly book, film, tv etc, which would be tv.

2. What was the first genre you wrote fanfiction in?
- BtVA, unrequited love, tv. Never made it online, thank god.

3. What was your original favorite coupling?
- Spike/Buffy

4. What is your current favorite coupling(s)?
- I'll read anything and everything.

5. What were your original thoughts on yaoi / slash?>
- "...how long have Spike and Angel been gay?"

6. What are your current thought on yaoi / slash?
- If you can make it work. I avoid all HP slash apart from Sirius/Remus, because all we know about their relationship is they were friends, rather than anything of the nature of the relationship. Harry/Draco, Harry/Ron or any student/teacher pairing leaves me cold. Any WK slash, since the nature of hte relationships are such that it can work, and limited X-men slash.

7. Which three fanfic authors influenced you the most?
- three? Well, Aoe and Shoori, and I guess Yanagi-Sen, though all three are more 'inspired' than 'influenced'. Though I definitely picked up my Brad/Schu love (and relationship template) from Aoe anad Shoori.

8. Who is your current favorite fanfic author?
- I like Viridian5 because she updates several times a week, and Galss Houses is a great fic, and I love Beaubier's stuff.

9. Who is your favorite fanfiction author of all time?
- How do I know I won't find a better one next week?

10. Who is your favorite fanfic character of all time?
- Depends on fandom, genre, style... There's never been a character that can't been written so that while reading, that is my favourite character.Did that sentence make any sense at all?

11. What is the longest fanfic you've completed and how long was it?
- Completed? That has to be New Rules New Ruler, by default, but Once Upon a Nightmare will be longer when I'm done, with Dolor Draconum second and Caffiene and Saccharine coming a close third.

12. Which of your fics is you favorite?
- Caff&Sach right now. Though I was very pleased with Valentine's Day Minus and I love Rol Out Those Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer for it's fluffiness.

13. Which of your fics is your least favorite?
- I delete the ones I don't like. There was one I wrote as a volunteer fic for DHR_Valentine that probably qualifies as least favourite, though I ended up deeply unimpressed with Questions.

14. What is your favorite genre you've written in?
- Define Genre!! I'll say fluff, because there's nothing like a bit of feel good fic now and then, though sdome serious angst is also good. Thinking about it, I mostly prefer plot driven gen.

15. What genre will you never touch with a ten foot pole?
- rapefic, just because I know I could never do justice to it.

16. How many pen names have you had?
- This and MsSolo, which I prefer in a way. It would mean changing a lot of links and images though, and I can live with Minerva Solo.

17. How many total stories have you written and published on the Web?
- I'm goiong to have to go and count now, you realise. These numbers are all from my personal websites, with a few up at FFN or LJ that haven't made it there yet but will.
WK: 43
HP: 6
X-men: 4 (not counting Questions here)
Authority: 3
BMB: 4
BtVS: 3 (but I plan to take some of those down)
SW: 5
Misc: 3

71... Wow... Maybe I should stop when I reach a round hundred, or something. I swear I ought to be spending this time writing original fiction and getting published and paid and stuff. Two of those fics are over 100,000 words, which means novel length, already.

18. How many of those were lemons / contained sex?
- 4 WK, 1 SW, 2 BMB, 1 Authority, 1 HP and 1 1/2 X-men. Well, those are lemons. Severla more have contained sex, but usually as a "and then they went to bed" kind of addendum. The 1/2 is fetishX, since it contains a lot of sex toys but no sex.

19. How many current WIP's do you have open?
- Three: Dolor Draconum, Once Upon a Nightmare (now over 100,000 words!), Caffiene and Saccharine. I also have a counterfic (WK) and a Secret Santa (HP) that need writing.

20. What fanfic kink do you read / write that disturbs you the most?
- I'll read anything once. Nothing I've ever read online has disturbed me... wait, no, there was a Snape/infant!Draco fic that was very disturbing. I read it solely to see if it was as disturbing as people said, and yes, it was. I'd never write anything involving a child under 14, I think, involving explicit sex. I know teens under 14 have sex, but I'll leave that to them. Oh, and as mentioned earlier, no rapefics.

I just had to cancel two books from Amazon and buy them at the campus bookshop because they would arrive about four weeks after I need them. I'm half contemplating demanding a refund for the 24 hour delivery I paid for, since the books turned up four days late. It's only about £3.50, but it's kinda hte principle of the thing.

Fleursdelamort has randomly stopped working properly. I know the stylesheet is working, because the text adn the backgrounds are right, but the div layers aren't. It might be a Firefox thing, which is irritating. I need to learn more code that works across more browsers. ...Yep, it works in Opera. Anyone know how to makae Firefox take Divs?
