4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why? – Oh my god so many!! zombeesknees (Angie B) for her incredible world building skills and for coming up with some of the mostly insanely creative ideas ever. professorspork who is just constantly inspiring and has paired up things I would have never imagined (hello, Steve Rogers and Rachel Berry?!). thatexactleaf sometimes her words make me want to cry. thatdaydreamlook my beautiful braintwin who always makes me ship things i didn’t expect, who plots with me, angsts with me, and keeps creating new original things for me to live in. standbyyourmantis the queen of the slow burn angst-fest that always makes me come back for more. thescholarlystrumpet she fucking knows why <3. thestraggletag suchadearie and emospritelet literally the greatest collection of smut with heart and soul I’ve ever read.
I could do this all day people.
6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot) – X-Files, Mulder/Scully.
14. Your favorite side pairings to put in? – These aren’t really side pairings, they are just other pairings I include sometimes if I need another couple for my main ship to do something with. Depends on the fandom but in OUAT I love Ruby/Archie and Neal/Emma and Mulan/Aurora. In DW if it’s an ensemble type fic or I need other couples I love using Amy/Rory.
15. Your guilty writing pleasure? – Um. I have no idea. I’d would have listed off some kinks here previously, but I’ve gone through a lot of time over the years and I no longer feel guilty for writing them or for being graphic or overt with things either.
16. Do you have structured ideas of how your story is supposed to go, or make it up as you write? – Oh god yes. If it’s more than one chapter or if it’s a really long fic, I have notes and outlines. I have to because if I don’t know how it goes each step of the way I won’t finish it. I am a planner.
Thank you, Lindsay. I am in complete awe of your story telling ability and the way you can make worlds come to life!
