1. What shall we call you?
"Mary" is fine.
Some peeps call me QoC or some variant, and that's fine too.
2. How long have you been writing L&C fanfic?
Hoo-boy. It's been about 5 years now, hasn't it? I think I showed up at the boards when I was 15 or so.
3. Have you ever written fic for other shows?
Well, I dabbled in forms of Batman:The Animated Series fanfic, mostly Round Robin stuff (Hrm...Batman Round Robin
), and I currently have a pitiful Justice League WIP on my hard drive.
4. Current stories you're working on?
MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
6. Piece of work you're proudest of?
Ooh, this is tough. I'd say either
The Sound of Time Passing , which is a straight piece that didn't completely suck, or
Martha\'s Bg Date , an "Interactive-Fiction" game that testifies to my geekiness.
7. Piece of work you had the hardest time writing/finishing?
You'd think the IF game, but no.
It's a tough call. Possibly "One Strange Year: Conception". That thing was so dang long! It was supposed to be just "One Strange Year," but it was so hard to write, that I had to snip it off and make it a serial. It's still *technically* not finished.
8. Your greatest strengths as an author?
Comedy, humor, punchlines, and...uh, comedy.
9. Your biggest weaknesses?
Anything that's not comedy. Particularly Mysteries, since they involve a lot of planning and subtlety, both of which I kinda suck at. I am in awe of people who do them.
10. Preferred genre(s) to write?
...Should I just put down comedy and call it a night? XD
Okay: Comedy, Kidfic, AUs, and Elseworlds. Not necessarily in that order.
11. Genre(s) you won't write?
Action and Porn (partly because I can't. It would look like a 12 year old wrote it, trust me. Even in G-Rated stuff, I have a hard time visualizing what happens to body parts when people do things, so Porn is just out of the question.) I also won't usually bother with Romance, but, eh.
12. What makes a fic good for you?
A happy ending, of course. ^_^ Lois + Superman is instant win, but Lois + Clark is always nice, too. Zingers are always a plus.
13. What ruins a fic for you?
Mayson, Scardino, Lana...anybody who gets in the way of LnC. I do not tolerate this.
