01. Which is your favorite fic?
That I've written? Nrgk. Well, my favorite porny fic that I've written is Bras, because it's ridiculous and hot and just... porn-tastic. Favorite overall... I'm really obscenly pleased with the Epilogue from my Pray the Gay Away. Maybe it's just because it's recent, but I've re-read it a bunch of times and I really love it. From older fics, I'd go with One Early Morning at Grimmauld Place. It's the last fic in the Mr. Rule 614 series, and I really love the way I structured it.
That's right, my two favorite fics are based on organization. How much of a logic geek am I?
02. Which is your best-received fic?
Much to my surprise, Unconditional, which became the prologue for Gwil's Guide. People just went nuts over it, which is the only reason I started writing the series in the first place. Mom says it's proof that you guys really just want unapologetic fluff over porn. Somehow, I doubt that's the reason...
03. Which is your worst-received fic?
Haha that's easy. Rounding the Bases, a Donny/Utivich Inglourious Basterds fic. It was really poorly/hastily written, the sentence structure was repetitive and boring, it was just generally awful. I had some people point it out to me, and I was like "Yeah, you're totally right, I need to watch my sentence structure because that's shit." Then, of course, WANK happened, with people running to defend me and others insulting me a bunch... it put me off writing for a week or so, totally shook my confidence. But now I'm always aware of repetitive sentence structure, so I'd like to think I'm a better writer for it :P
04. Which is your angsty-est fic?
Another easy one for me. Lie with a Man, a 3:10 to Yuma Ben/Charlie fic. I don't know where all the dub-con came from, because I was in a good mood at the time, but there you have it. Definitely the darkest, most dub-con thing I ever wrote (which, mind you, it's not even. I just don't write angst!)
05. Which is your funniest fic?
Ah, see, now this is tough. I write a lot of funny stuff (I'd like to think...). Blatant, laugh-out-loud funny, I'd have to go with... Butthole Galore. I mean, the title really made it (thank you little bro) and the fact that Jack and Ianto were forced to have a semi-serious conversation about a butt-gun is just ridiculous.
06. Smuttiest?
Straight-up filthiest has gotta be John Joins In. Six-thousand plus words of Jack, John, and Ianto just doing filthy things to each other. Double penetration, rimming, cross dressing... it's got it all ~.^
Coincidentally, according to my Excel kink spreadsheet (SHUT UP YOUR FACE, I'M ORGANIZED, OKAY?!) my kinkiest fics are 42 Recreational Uses for a Stopwatch, Owen's a Psychic, and the Pray the Gay Away Epilogue. But those are more flash-by-the-moment kinks than extended, filthy porn.
07. Fluffiest?
Now, I write a toooon of fluff, but I'd have to say the sweetest of sweet I've ever written was probably Eskimo Kisses. Jack and Ianto discuss their first kiss, and determine it was the eskimo kiss in the warehouse. And then reenact it. Soooooo flufffyyy.
08. Have you ever made someone cry with a fic?
Apparently, several times. FMC X: End was probably my most tear-jerking fic, to the point where I totally cried while writing it. Coming in a close second is the Epilogue to Life is All fix-it fic, which I definitely teared up while writing. Basically, I just keep killing off Ianto and then getting really sad over it ;__;
09. Which fic frustrates you the most?
5 Times Jack Save Ianto's Arse... And One Time He Didn't . I don't know what it is about this fic, but it pissed me off. I liked it, but then the last section wasn't as emotionally poignant as I meant it to be, and I basically got no response on it, so I figured that my frustration with it kind of bled through onto the digital page. It was also only the third TW fic I wrote, so... meh.
10. Which fic was the most fun to write?
Gotta go with John Joins In, again. I just... I fucking love James Marsters. I have a deep, terrible theory that he just LOVES going down a woman. And NONE OF YOU CAN CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE. *hangs tightly onto disgusting, terrible James Marsters fantasy* Therefore, I am pretty much obsessed with his mouth, and cheekbones, and TONGUE. So... *cough*
11. Who is your favorite OC you've ever created?
In fanfiction, probably Llewella. She's the mum of the little gay boy Owen on Gwil's footie team in Chapter 10 of Gwil's Guide. Yes, I am that obscure. She was actually my secret self-insert character, which is why I liked her :P
For all the OCs I've ever written in my original fiction, it's David, who shows up in a lot of my novels. But you guys wouldn't know him. He's basically how I picture my future son, it's ridiculous.
12. Are you better at one-shot or multi-part?
I like doing one-shots if I can think of an original, fun idea for one. But multi-chapters probably get me more attention, and I definitely love attention ~.^
13. What character do you think you're the best at portraying?
Hardison and Eliot are definitely the easiest to write and keep in character out of all the ones I write. I think they've just got such distinct voices that it's easy to get into the flow of writing them. My Sirius is also very clear in my mind, but that's mostly because he's kind of me *cough cough embarrassed blush* so I just write whatever I'd do.
14. What character is the most difficult to portray?
Jack. Absolutely. But I think that's honestly more RTDs fault than mine. In DW he had a clear character/personality, but once he was in TW he just got really inconsistant. Like, I can write Jack/Ianto just fine, but I can't write Jack + Gwen at all because I have pretty much no good basis for their just-friends interaction, because RTD is a fucking idiot. So, I entirely blame RTD for my failings at writing Jack.
And, of course, if I want him to be serious and emotional and in love with Ianto, well damn it, that's near impossible to stay consistently in character.

I won't force anyone, but drop me a link in the comments if you do steal it. I want to read yours, too!
