1) Do you write or read fanfiction?
yes. both.
2) When did you first start reading/writing?
in general: elementary school.
fanfic: 1986 (both)
3) First ship?
Gooseman/Niko (canon)
4) What website do you use most?
InsaneJournal, LiveJournal, Adultfanfiction.net, Fanfiction.net, Mediaminer.org
5) What do you think of Fanfiction Net?
Their notifying feature is neat and there are a few gems on it, hidden in a gigantic pile of trash.
6) What fandoms have you written in?
Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers; Tokyo Babylon / X
7) Pairings?
I don't write pairing specific, but canon specific.
Gooseman/Niko, Zachary/Eliza, Joseph/OC; Seishiro/Subaru
8) Any fandoms you would like to write in?
Well, there is this weird idea about Yami no Matsuei's Sohryu having a bad hair day (and of course, Touda is such an inviting character...) but I'm currently occupied in TB/X and don't have time to weave ideas for YnM, so... :)
9) What ratings do you read/write for?
Depends on plot. Virtually all. But softer than PG-13 is the minority.
10) Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?
not to my knowledge.
11) Favourite fandom to write/read for?
TB/X at the moment.
12) Favorite pairing?
read above
13) Favorite writer/writers?
I'm biased.
14) How long should a chapter be?
Depends on plot.
15) Do you write/read drabbles?
Yes. But I insist on a drabble having exactly 100 words!
16) Any fandoms you avoid?
Harry Potter, most of Lord of the Rings, and everything remotely connected with Stephen King or Dan Brown.
17) Pairings you avoid?
pairings that don't make sense in context
18) Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is?
no. the quality of the reviews maybe.
19) What do you think of Mary Sues?
A plot device most juvenile authors delve into, not realizing that it's the one thing most difficult to pull off without pissing off most of your audience.
20) What inspires you to write?
Ideas.
21) Have you ever cried when reading a story?
No. I was a couple of times tempted to scream about idiocy, but aside from that...
22) Do you prefer fanfiction or the original books?
Without the original material there wouldn't be fanfiction, so the question doesn't make sense. Since I read fanfic _after_ I read the canon material (Ai no Kusabi being the one exeption, but that's currently delightfully corrected)...
...however, I wish that the majority of people who write ff, would bother to read/watch the canon first before starting to write.

Interesting stuff. I'll have to pic that up in a sidestory....

Date: 2008-07-17 08:41 (UTC)From:btw. now I have a question.
Is there a good English translation / version of Albert Camus' line "Einen Menschen lieben heißt einwilligen, mit ihm alt zu werden."? I tried to find one myself, but apparently i'm looking in the wrong places.

Date: 2008-07-17 08:55 (UTC)From:Unfortunately, the quote is from a collection of quotes, which I no longer have in hand, so I can't look up from which of his works it is. :(

Date: 2008-07-17 09:25 (UTC)From:"To love someone means to agree getting old with him."
But I wondered if there were an "official translation" for it. You don't have to search. I just thought you might probably know it. :)
