Swiped from because I obviously have nothing better to do than this. =.=

BASICS
1. Fanfiction Pen Name [I bashed Voldie's head]

2. How did you come up with the penname? [Uhhh... I was into HP fanfiction at the time and then I remembered what Peeves had been singing at the end of book 7. I still remember the lyrics: "We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter's the one. And Voldy's gone moldy, so now lets' have fun!" ... ignore random bursts of singing. ]

3. Age (If you want to put it) [Meh... 15. But I lack social skills.]

4. When did you start writing? [I'd written my first 'book' at like, 7, when I tied it between two pieces of cardboard and gave to my mom. Seriously, I've been writing like, forever.]

5. What was your first fanfiction? [A Bartimaeus Trilogy fic when I was 12, but I didn't know what it was at the time. I was just so pissed at the way the books ended that I decided to write a sequel. ]

6. Was it posted on the net? [No, it was lost when my mom's laptop (in which it was guarded by a nasty liquorice monster O_O) went kablam and died. T_T]

7. Is it still posted on the net? [Ditto above]

TOOLS AND WRITING HABITS
8. What programs do you use for your writing? [I type up the first 100 words of the fic on Word and then upload it to ff.net. I finsih writing there because it's basically accessible from any computer with internet then. 8D]

9. Do you have a beta? If no, would you like to find one? [No, and I do wish I had one. But I need to wait for my next fic to get a BETA. T_T]

10. Do you have a friend(s) that you share your ideas with? [I kinda do? O_o But not for the fics I'm writing currently, because she's reading them too and I just don't talk about it. The person I COULD talk about it with does not know the wonderful world of Naruto (or any manga for that matter >(), so I can't share ideas.]

11. Do you write your stories on paper first, and then type them, or do you type them directly onto the computer? [I always type them up.]

12. Do you outline your stories before you write them? [Kinda? I usually spontaneously switch from one idea to another, so I never plan up to too much detail until I actually write something. Damn hyperactiveness. =.=]

13. What time do you find yourself most productive when it comes to writing? [Usually when I listen to music. 8D The right CD's start off my plot bunny like magic. ^^... but it doesn't always work. -.-]

14. Do you prefer a particular type of weather when writing? If Yes, what? [Rain keeps me at home and writing, plus it makes a great atmosphere...]

15. Do you have any weird quirks or habits that you do when you write? [I ALWAYS play out the scenes in my head. Especially when I'm listening to music and I can feel many things happening to the beat. It feels like watching an anime, really. I also get extremely motivated on the last 500 words or so, and I write it at light-speed. 8D ]

IDEAS
16. Do you read any other fanfictions for inspiration? If yes, who do you read? [Yeah, but not similar ones. I just like to check on writing styles and language, since that's what I suck at making interesting. Kami, I wish I was born in Britain. =.=]

17. Where do you tend to get your ideas? [From the insane need to 'continue the magic'? Dunno. Probably other fics and books too. I look up to Terry Pratchett. ^^]

18. Where is the craziest place you’ve ever gotten an idea for a fanfiction? [When visiting Hanna-chan ( ) in Sweden. We were in this camp-type-thing next to the sea, and we went looking for dead fish (long story), only to spend something like an hour chatting about the weirdest idea ever. ]

19. What time of the day/night do you most frequently get ideas? [Just before going to bed, or at school. (basically, any time when I can't write. -.-]

SUPPORT TEAM
20. Do you have someone online or in person that encourages you when you get down on your writing? [Sometimes my reviewers will have a little encouragement for me.]

21. Who do you find yourself complaining to when you get a flame/annoyed at something? [I'm not sure if I ever got a flame (there's one close thing, but that was more of a critique...).]

22. Is there anyone that gets a first look at your fics before you post them (not counting your beta if you have one). [Nope.]

REVIEWS AND POSTING RELATED QUESTIONS (if applicable)
23. What is the weirdest review that you’ve ever received? [A couple of them from a girl called 'dA bahd SpelLR'. For you to get the idea, here's a short extract: "So...another beautiful chapter that of course better have another one following it...or I will steal all ur plot bunnies and put sequins on them and glue them to a disco ball and the convince Orochimaru lycra is the new hip thing...u get the mental images. *does spirit fingers*".]

24. What is the funniest review you’ve ever received? [Loads. ^^ I've had some great reviewers! 8D]

25. What is the cruelest review you’ve ever received? [Was one (not actually cruel, but... stupid?), referring to the flame question above. A person had read the first three chapters of my story, told me everything they didn't like, didn't tell me why and just cut off. I was sort of: "whut?"]

26. Do reviews bring any encouragement to you? [Yes! All the time. Reviews are like food and drink to the author. *devours*]

27. What is the most frequent question you get from your readers? [Recently it's been stuff like: BUT THEY WILL GET TOGETHER BEFORE EITHER DIES, RIGHT? ... my story got a little too dramatic. =.= But people want more angst. ]

28. How do you decide when to post a new chapter? (Example of answers: When it’s done, certain number of hits, certain number of reviews, certain period of time, schedule and so on.) [When I finally get it done and check over it. That sometimes takes loads of time because of life and whatnot. I tend to sometimes wait for my favorite reviewers, because darnit, I want to know what the thought! 8D ]

29. What’s a type of story that you would love to write but just don’t have the guts to write? [Well, I keep getting ideas for crossovers in fandoms that never get read... *points at POTC/Naruto crossover she wrote*, and I often have an itch to write something cliche but different, only to find that it's been done already. -.-]

ADVICE
30. If someone asked you for one piece of writing advice for them, what would it be? [To know their characters and to remember all the small details... checking the grammar works too-- I can't force myself to read a fanfic with bad grammar. ]

31. What do you think is the biggest flaw in writing on ff.net (or any other site you are a part of fanfiction wise?) [People writing who had zero skill. Those fics just make me feel bad when I glance at them. And then, when writers of my favorite fics just give up on the story or disappear for no reason. T.T]

32. What annoys you most about some fictions you read look/style/grammar wise? [Mary Sues. I agree with Zilo on this point, because I keep finding fics with characters that are just too perfect to be interesting. You need some flaws for the good points to show. E.g. I really loved an OC type fic in the Naruto fandom, but what ruined the whole thing was that the main character was too mature and... well, unreal.]

IF YOU COULD
33. If you could write with any other fanfiction author, who would it be? [TheAhlgrens94, definitely. And then Zilo Sugarpill or S'TarKan, both absolutely MARVELOUS authors, but different at the same time. ^^]

34. If you could turn one of your fanfiction into a manga, which would it be? [The crossover: "Heart of a Storm". Although I can't imagine Jack Sparrow in manga-form, that's the one fic I am most into and can see vividly when I write.]

35. If you could take one story from an author and have it be yours (NOT SAYING PLAGIARIZE) what story would it be? [The Forbidden Heir by AgiVega. It's a Bartimaeus Trilogy fic. I dream of writing one some day, but I suck at the wit Jonathan Stroud portrays. ]

MISCELLANEOUS
36. Do you think writing is harder than drawing? [No. While writing is complicated and layered, I think that almost everyone on this planet has enough imagination to write something, they just don't have the talent. Drawing, however, needs skill in and of itself, and the imagination has to be much bigger so as to make things more interesting. Who wants to see the same style over and over again?]

37. Do you consider writing an art? Why or why not? [Of course! I don't think I've ever found myself laughing or crying or just twisting in my seat so much if it wasn't from a piece of writing. It's sometimes the one thing that, I find, completes me. You can finally live in a different world and create your rules and give life a purpose.]

38. Are there any writers out there that you loved until you spoke with them and they turned out to be a real (censoredcensored). Yes or no answer will do.[Yes.]

Take it if you wish!
