How long have you been writing?

Since 2007.

Do you write anything else besides Buffy?

I sometimes write Smallville fanfiction. I'm also working on an original piece on the side.

Who is the focus of your writing?

My pairing fics are Spuffy, but the focus is usually on Buffy.

Whos the easiest character to write for?

For me, Buffy and Faith are the easiest.

Who is the hardest to write for?

I struggle with Spike, simply because I have a hard time not overusing certain phrases.

Whats you favorite part of your story? Yes you can post a snipit if you like.

I've written quite a few fics, I can't think of a particular favorite moment. I did enjoy writing about Faith being sired and the aftermath.

Whats your least favorite part?

Anything in one of my earlier fics. When I first started writing, I tended to try to jam far too much stuff into each story. Every chapter was a hot mess.

Whats your favorite quote from your own story?

Drawing a blank. I never read my work after posting it, so it's hard to think of a quote.

Whats the hardest thing to write?

That varies from story to story.

How do you feel about new characters writen into the Buffyverse?

I write crossovers often, so I don't mind those. I don't ever add original characters to the 'verse nor do I read fics with original characters. That's not what I want to read when I'm reading fanfic. Regardless of how promising a story is, if there is an original charater in it, I'm done.

Whats one thing you wanted try but have not? Or started but stopped?

*shrug*

Anything you would like to promote? Site? Upcomeing story idea?

Nah, my updates are few and far between so I don't self-promote.
 
How long have you been writing?
Since the summer of 2011.

Do you write anything else besides Buffy?
I also write for Star Wars, Charmed, and Resident Evil, but all to lesser degrees.

Who is the focus of your writing?
Mainly Buffy, Angel, or Willow.

Who's the easiest character to write for?
For me, its Buffy or Angelus. I can hear their voices very clearly in my head when I'm writing, so if something seems OOC, I quickly notice it.

Who is the hardest to write for?
Xander. I can never seem to really get his sarcastic attitude to 'sound' right for me. I've never attempted Anya or Riley, so I would consider them to be a challenge if I ever added them to a story

Whats your favorite part of your story? Yes you can post a snipit if you like.
I have many favorite parts of stories I've written, but there are a few that stand out, mainly because I really like what I've written for a certain part.

Stopping, he saw the tombstone standing in front of him, the freshly dug dirt resting in front of it. He stared at the stone, his entire body refusing to move a single inch as he looked at the place where she was at rest. She had given her life to protect others, just as he had given up his own to protect her. The irony didn't matter to him now, what difference did any of that make? He would never be able to hold her, never be able to even touch or speak to her again. His curse had come true, he would go on living while he watched those he loved die.

It wasn't supposed to happen like this. She was supposed to live a long life, to grow old and finally depart from this world with a full life behind her. But as he looked down at the mound of dirt in front of him, Angel could see that the thought alone had merely been his wish for her. He had wanted for that single wish to come true, she had deserved that much. He had left Sunnydale in order for that to happen, he had died a thousand deaths every day that they had been apart for that wish to come true.

And in the end, that wish lie broken in front of him.
- The Grave


Whats your least favorite part?
Can't think of any.

Whats your favorite quote from your own story?

"I could easily kill you, Willow, but I don't. You know why? Because I like hurting you. I like seeing all the pain your little heart can take. I'm just waiting for it to burst. Because trust me, I will see to it that it does. I like seeing your heart break with each and every thing that I do, all the emotions that you don't think you can stand any more. More importantly, I like seeing you try to help someone that's dead. Your friend is dead, and she's not ever going to come back."- VampBuffy to Willow "A State Of Becoming"

Whats the hardest thing to write?
For me, its pacing. I seem to have a hard time stretching my fics out. Usually, they run underneath twenty chapters.

How do you feel about new characters writen into the Buffyverse?
As long as they're not Mary or Gary Sues, I'm fine with them, provided they don't do something to make me hate them entirely.

Whats one thing you wanted try but have not? Or started but stoped?
A crossover between Angel and Buffy. I started a fic called "Normal" which was an AU where Buffy's delusions in "Normal Again" were true, and she tried to be normal again after experiencing everything from the past five 'years' in her mind. I got writers block over it, so I had to stop working on it

Anything you would like to promote? Site? Upcoming story idea?
I don't really self-promote. I like to have people discover my stories on their own.
 
How long have you been writing?
Roughly since 2008, but it's been off and on.

Do you write anything else besides Buffy?
I like writing crossovers with other shows and comics. I'm kind of continually working on one big, shared universe between Buffy, DC and Marvel, with a focus on a number of characters from their perspectives.

Who is the focus of your writing?
The ones I have going right now are Buffy, Peter Parker, an original character named Garth who's part of the Batman team, Bart Allen, Veronica Mars and Oliver Queen from the new show Arrow.

Who's the easiest character to write for?
Garth, for sure. Pretty much because he's my character and based on...well...me.

Who is the hardest to write for?
Xander. I like his humor on the show but I find it hard to kind of get in his head when I'm writing him.

Whats your favorite part of your story? Yes you can post a snipit if you like.
I find I'm good at laying out long-term storytelling, and I like writing dream sequences a lot.

Whats your least favorite part?
Nothing is really jumping to mind.

Whats your favorite quote from your own story?
I'd have to look through it, I have a few that I like.

Whats the hardest thing to write?
Explaining continuity properly I think. I know it all in my head so I have a habit of rushing it a bit and not explaining things like a regular book, comic or show would.

How do you feel about new characters writen into the Buffyverse?
I have a few of them, so pretty good. It's fun writing new characters into it because that's something we never see.

Whats one thing you wanted try but have not? Or started but stoped?
I've really only been writing the one story. Sometimes I go so long without writing that I get completely out of the feel of it and start over.

Anything you would like to promote? Site? Upcoming story idea?
Not really. I have a few people I ask to read my stories but mostly, they're just for me.
 
How long have you been writeing?
Sence October or Augest

Do you write anything else besides Buffy?
I dabble with some Transformer fiction but nothing as strong as writeing Buffy

Who is the focus of your writeing?
Mainly Willow and Tara geting to see beyond what we saw has been the most rewarding

Whos the easyest character to write for?
Willow Her character is such a great thing to watch play out

Who is the hardest to write for?
Anya its not that I hate her. I just know I cant do Emmas speech and mannerisms justice and it would be wrong to not get it right. But I do write her when I know I can do it well enough.

Whats you favorite part of your story? Yes you can post a snipit if you like.
This is one of the many fun moments for me Buffy just saved two helicopter pilots. Its all caught on film and transmitted live.

All around the world people watch as Buffy hauls the two pilots out of harms way when the chopper goes up in a ball of flames. And they see troops surround Buffy as she puts up her hands and watch as she is handcuffed.

Willow and Tara sit on the floor in front of the TV holding each other crying

Xander and Andrew look at the radio in stunned disbelief Violet cries over the steering wheel.

Giles throws a glass into the TV set and it explodes in a shower of sparks.

Dawn walks out of Woods room at the hospital and slides to the floor weeping.

The Vice Presadent throws the remote across the room.

Whats your lest favorite part?
Introductions Hi this is such and such and this is so and so. Very cumbersome to write very clunky.

Whats your favorite quote from your own story?
This one line from an upcomeing story so its the freshes in my mind at the moment.
Willow: Buffy we can do both at the same time kill two birds with one stone. Or some less violently way of doing that you know without hurting the birds.

Whats the hardest thing to write?
Again introductions suck to put togather.

How do you feel about new characters writen into the Buffyverse?
A lot of times there nessasry but as long as they dont become a focus of the story and it sticks to whats true then there fine.

Whats one thing you wanted try but have not? Or started but stoped?
I write in trans script or spec script its fast easyh and flows perfectly IMO But I been working off and on on a regular story. But its so hard for me to write this way.

Anything you would like to premote? Site? Upcomeing story idea?
I been working lately at returning fimuler faces back into the fold Oz just came back but left just like the last time we saw him...Prutty much now.

Do you write anything else besides Buffy?
Yes. Film and TV scripts, short film scripts. Poetry. Books.
But I've only had two books published and seven poems.

Who is the focus on your writing?
There is no who.
If the question had been 'what' is the focus, the answer would be to make money.
From the TV series, no one special.

Who is the easiest character to write for? In all of my stories?
The character of Alacasia Alucard de Gothenburg, a vampiress and the sole decendant of the devil. She was born in 1866 and 1894.

The magistrate in a fictional story about factual person.
From the TV series, Tara. I don't relate to her religous beliefs.

Describing how a Hobgoblin dies.

What is the hardest thing to write?
The next story. I don't even know what it is about yet.

What do you feel about new characters written into the Buffyverse?
I don't bother with them.

What is the one thing you have wanted to try, but have not?
Writing a musical stage play about vampires and the terminally ill.

Anything that you would like to promote?
The TV series I am writing at the moment, see my last fan fic.

What is your favourite quote from your story?
As I have 50 or so fan fics on this site, two books, umpteen film scripts, picking a favourite quote from them is too hard.
