What's the last thing you wrote?
A Silent Affair. A gift Xena ficlet for my best friend.
Was it any good?
Not my best but I don't think it was that bad.
What's the first thing you ever wrote that you still have?
A small story about the discovery of America that I wrote when I was 8. It was for a school contest and it was the only thing I ever won in that school (it was also the only writing contest ever).
Was it any good?
It was silly but I was 8 so what do you expect.
Write poetry?
No.
Angsty poetry?
No.
Favourite genre of writing?
I guess I like to write introspective things. I love to get inside the mind of the character, it's fun.
Most fun character you ever wrote?
Hiko in his small appearance in "Another Morning". He is great to write.
Most annoying character you ever wrote?
MaryKoi and ChibiSue.
Best plot you ever wrote?
I'm not sure. I like Sandstorm. Is such a complex story.
Coolest plot twist you ever wrote?
I guess the last scene in A Silent Affair. Is not much but I think is the best so far.
How often do you get writer's block?
Well I have an original/Spanish writer's barricade that has been going on for years. I'm still waiting for it to go away.
How do you fix it?
About a year and a half ago I decided to get into fanfiction. I didn't fix the block but it did open a window.
Write fan fiction?
See above.
Do you type or write by hand?
I do both. Typing is very practical but I still think that there is something special that you get when you write by hand that you can get with the computer. Maybe I'm hallucinating.
Do you save everything you write?
Most of it, but there are some things not worth saving.
Do you ever go back to an old idea long after you abandoned it?
Some times.
What's your favourite thing that you've written?
I like Inverse.
What's everyone else's favourite thing that you've written?
Heavenly Lost (RK). It got a lot of reviews, won an award and was nominated for another. Personally, I don't think it's that good and it needs rewriting. I've learned more English since I first wrote it. In the GW fandom... I don't know.
Do you even show people your work?
Fanfics, yes online. Originals, only when they are done.
Who's your favourite constructive critic?
Anne.
Do you have a web site for your writings?
http://www.psinergy.com/dryerspace/gundaniumline/misanagi/misanagi.html (Thanks, Anne)
Did you ever write a novel?
Two, but they aren't good. I was 15, enough said.
Have you ever written fantasy, sci-fi, or horror?
Yes to all.
Ever written romance or teen angsty drama?
Yes to Romance. No to teen angsty drama. I've written some teenagers angsting but I try to give them more complex things to angst about.
What's your favourite setting for your characters?
I use whatever fits the story best but I have to admit that I love rain.
What's one genre you have never written, and probably never will?
Mpreg.
How many writing projects are you working on right now?.
Two: Share my Thoughts and Sandstorm.
Do you want to write for a living?
Wouldn't that be nice?
Ever written something in script or play format?
When I was in school I always got stuck with writing some of the stupid plays we had to perform.
What are your five favourite words?
There are some English words that I like mainly because they have no Spanish translation and say exactly what I want to.
Relinquish.
Annoying.
Behold
Procrastination
Awe
In Spanish:
Adminículos: Unnecesary things.
Introspección: Introspection
Vaiven: Swaying; backward and forward motion; ups and downs; vicissitudes
Antología: Antology
Ensoñación: Fantasy; fancy; dream
Do you ever parody?
*points to The Pink Panthers.* I think it's the only one.
What's your favourite thing to parody?
Wimpy Quatre.
Do you actually like that thing, or are you spitefully making fun of it?
I hate it.
Do you ever write based on yourself?
Yes. A lot of the things and problems I write on the characters are taken from me. However, I try to keep those things as details and let the character deal with it in its own way.
What character that you've written most resembles yourself?
Raberta from The Pink Panters. *smirks at Anne*
Where do you get ideas for your other characters?
I take things from everywhere.
Do you ever write based on your dreams?
Yes, some times.
Do you favour happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?
All of them. Depending what works better for the story.
Have you ever written based on an artwork you've seen?
No.
Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?
Yes. Specially when I'm writing in English since I made a lot more of mistakes and end up feeling like an idiot.
Ever write something entirely in chatspeak? (How r u?)
No.
Entirely in L337?
So that's what that annoying form of communication is called?
Was that question completely appalling and un-writer like?
*skips this question*
Does music help you write?
I need music. I can't concentrate in the silence.
Do you have a weblog or livejournal?
Apparently.
Are people surprised and confused when they find out you write well?
I have this 'writer' stigma in real life... I think people actually expect something better.
Quote something you've written. The first thing to pop into your mind.
"In life, Miss Relena, we are often faced with the unexpected."

Oh, and the lyric challenge? It's Americana by the Offspring, track 12 on the album of the same name.
Don't you just love that song? I do.
I guess you can put this on the list of prizes I owe you. I hope that you are keeping track of them because I lost count.
