*Fanficton*
Do you read or write fanfiction?	Yes!
When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?	Uh, regularly, I'd say in 2000.
What was your first fandom?	Sailor Moon
First ship?	Haruka/Michiru
What website do you use most?	Livejournal! I haven't updated anything on FFN in quite a while.
What do you think of Fanfiction.net?	Not the bastion of evil everyone makes it out to be. Yes, it's full of crappy fic - that's due to crappy writers. They don't allow MSTs anymore - that's also due to crappy writers. And the people who seem to complain the loudest about the quality are the ones who wouldn't make it past a quality filter, methinks.
What fandoms have you written in?	Sailor Moon, Tenchi, El Hazard, Trigun, Harry Potter
Pairings?	Haruka/Michiru, Tenchi/Ryoko, Miz/Fujisawa, EveryonexEveryone in Trigun, Gojyo/Hakkai
Any fandoms you would like to write in?	Saiyuki, though I don't seem to be good at teh slash. Noir, Utena, GTO
Do reviews affect how you write in any way?	Depends on the review. Good concrit should make you step back and look at what you've written. But "OMG right a squeal!" not much, no.
Do you use a beta?	Friends. "Here, read this, por favor."
What ratings do you read/write?	If a summary looks good (or horrendously awful), I'll read. But I've been known to frequent AFFN.
What warnings have you used on your fiction/read?	Warnings are dumb. The only thing an author should warn against is "Warning: this fic is shit!"
Do you have any squicks?	Incest. Non-con portrayed romantically. Porn written by people who obviously have no idea what anyone's doing.
Do you Role-play online? If so, what?	Dude, I'm so awesome, why should I pretend to be anyone else?
Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?	All the time! Probably.
Favorite fandom to write/read?	Trigun
Favorite pairing?	Vash/Meryl has many fic uses! It does angst! It does comedy! It has drama and conflict and happiness and chemistry! But it won't save you money on your car insurance!
Favorite writer/writers?	Most writers I like I've friended somehow. So y'all!
How long should a chapter be?	I think it should complete a point. Chapters are a way of breaking your story up. End on a cliffhanger. End on a character revelation. End on something you want the reader to remember and pause on while turning the page or clicking the link to the next chapter.
Do you write/read drabbles?	ALL THE TIME BABY!
Any fandoms you avoid?	Harry Potter. Those people is nutses.
Pairings you avoid?	Those I don't like or can't ever see happening ever ever ever.
Warnings you avoid?	See above.
Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is?	Like anything else, general popularity is not a good representative of quality. See also: Dragonball Z, Titanic, W.
What do you think of Mary Sues?	I don't think they're the worst thing to happen to a fandom. Everyone writes them at some point. Call them on it, tell them how to fix it, get over it. The truly hilarious awful ones should be mocked, but any truly hilariously awful fic should be mocked.
Have you ever flamed someone?	I've left less than stellar criticism, but since a flame is a personal attack, then no.
Have you ever been flamed?	Yes! For Aqua Teen Hunger Slash! That fic was also MST'd poorly. Sniff. None of my truly bad stuff has ever been saved and MST'd. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about that.
That's it, aren't you glad?	Hooray! Nick lived and they got marred.
