Because I've been whining too much lately.

[maderr]

And am ever curious as to why everyone puts up with said whining.

1. What is your favorite fic I've written?

2. What is your favorite series I've written?

3. What is your favorite pairing that I write?

4. What is a pairing you wish I'd try writing some time that I've never attempted?

5. What is the /pairing I've written that you wish I'd write more often?

6. What do you like about my writing?

7. What do you not like about my writing? (tell me true - I like to know what needs fixed)

8. What was the first fic by me that you read?

We all whine, and if you didn't you'd intimidate the crap out of me. Gotta have some sign in there that you're human too. ;3

1. I'm taking this to mean of your short stories, and I'd have to say it's a tie between Main Gauche and The Dragon and the Knight. (Although, I love No More Pretending too...)
2. Rainbow. That was my all time fav. Although, Treasure is a very, very, very close second. (And Kidnapped has so much potential to be addictive too...;_;)
3. I love your snarky boys. I particularly like the way Kin and Kyo go at it. ^-^
4. You know, I really can't think of one.
5. You know, I almost never think of your stuff in terms of pairings, I realize when I start out that there will be some kind of romance involved and I love that, but there are other things going on that makes the pairing secondary to the plot and the characterization. And I think I just answered part of 6 here.
6. I love your characters. I love the way you weave your characters into the plot and I love the dialogue you create for them.
7. The occasional typos. They've gotten better, but in the beginning, those quotation marks on a piece of dialogue that never had an ending set of quotation marks used to drive me nuts. (La, what a dumb thing to be anal about. >.<) I'd say too, that sometimes one half of the pairing doesn't get as characterized as the other, but you've really cleaned that up and refined your characters since I first started reading your stuff, IMO, and I don't think it counts anymore.
8. I think it was the first chapter of Rainbow. When I friended you, I knew you wrote, but since I was so into the HP fandom at the time, I was a bit reluctant to take a look. For some reason, that one just sparked my interest, so I took a peek, and wham! I wanted more. And you delivered in spades and I've been a happy, happy reader ever since. You really gave me faith that original writing online could actually be really good. I was so sure that I could only find that kind of quality in fanfic, and I loved that you proved that wrong.

*glomps* To sum up: you rock. ^_____^

Ah yes, my humiliating typos. I hated those, but for the longest time I could not find/keep a beta. Now I've got three'em, and the lot of them all too eager to tell me what I'm doing wrong. XP

That's really humbling, and rather interesting considering that at about that time I was nearly ready to just keep my writing to myself - you literally were one of the main reasons I kept at it. I was utterly boggled by how much you liked Rainbow.


Kidnapped is addicting me. I have so many other stories to finish and that I should be working on but I want to write it >_
