1) Keyboard or biro?
Keyboard for most occasions. Notebook for jotting down little scenes in class.

2) Beta or no beta?
No beta now. I used to have

kmegumi2 as an editor, and she's spoiled me horribly.

3) Title?
Sometimes from a song if it was based on the music. Sometimes from a word or phrase that I think captures the spirit of the story.

4) Smushy or smutty?
Neither. I cannot write sex to my satisfaction, though I have posted one lemon on AFF, and mushy stuff sounds false to me.

5) Summary?
Nothing fancy. Pairing or characters. Reason for any sort of above PG-13 or up rating. Basic concept.

6) Funniest fic?
I don't write much humor anymore...

7) Most popular fic?
'Those who come Closest' I suppose. It has the most reviews of my recent stuff. Of my KH things either the discontinued 'Starless' or 'Promises Released'.

8) Most fun to write?
Genre: Genfic. I adore world exploration.

Pairing: Rikku/Paine probably, though I'm itching to try Yuna/Baralai and the Clasko/Calli/Brother love triangle.

Characters: Kimahri definitely. He sees so much and thinks in an interesting way. Yuna is also much more fun to write for than I thought she would be. She's so versatile.

Fic: I loved writing 'Closest' and I hope it came through. So many perspectives.

9) Best and worst?
Worst: Of my recent stuff? I don't really like the Yuna Thief fic, but the concept interested me. Of the future stuff... I'm going to reserve that for the Dona/Bartello fic that is now threatening to claw itself out of it's cage.

Best: I like my Kimahri one shots, and the early parts of Starless are beautiful.

10) Could have been contenders?
I don't know. I'm a poor judge of my writing.

11) Strengths?
I have them? Kidding. Probably I'd say my outside education in Anthropology. It's brought a lot of interesting ideas to my writing. I don't think I could write nearly so well if I did not have that fountain of knowledge to draw from.

12) Weaknesses?
A poor editing eye and a dependence on music for inspiration. Most of my fics are simply songfics with lyrics not included.

13) Dirty little secrets?
>.> Let's say it involves Bartello, a strip club, and a Hypello convention. That and the songfic confession.
