Oh this is difficult... at first I liked Spanish better, but then after writing for so long in English I've grown fond of the language too. I still like Spanish better but the difference is so so small now.
The structure, for starters, is different. The languages are very different so the way you build a sentence varies a lot. The little quircks too. The thing is, I can't see me writing fics in Spanish. When I first saw the series it was in English, and the names and everything about the characters, in my head, is in that language, and it feels very awkward just to try writing them in Spanish.
A lot of things are moods. There are moods that translate better in one of the two languages and not as well in the other. It never fails that if I'm writing in English I have a word or saying that fits in Spanish and can't quite translate, and the same for the other way around.
