Name?  

Heidi.

Age?  

23 – 24 on the February 14th, so that’s soon-ish.

How long have you been a fan of One Direction?

I started listening to their music in the beginning of 2013 and joined Tumblr in August 2013. The rest is, as they say, history.  

Who is your favorite fic author?  

Hmmm… not sure I can really say I have a favourite. I really enjoy hattalove’s writing (especially Amaryllis and Run Like Home), but I think that in general this fandom is filled with brilliant writers. I really like stylinsoncity’s stuff too, and of course old school stuff like dangerbears’. Uh, as a general rule, I like everything tomorrows write too. Actually, I think this just proves that I don’t really have any preferred authors. I’ll read pretty much anything as long as I think the fic sounds good, regardless of who’s written it. To me proper plot and characterisation matters far more than who’s the writer.

What is your favorite fic?  

Once again I can’t seem to limit myself to one, so braze yourself for somewhat of a fic rec. An angsty-break-up-getting-back-together-future-mostly-canon-ouch-my-tummy-and-my-heart-hurts-and-who’s-cutting-onions-‘cause-I-think-those-are-tears-on-my-cheeks fic rec that makes it quite obvious what kind of fics I really, really love.

       - finding our way back through the flame by sewmyname

       - just a memory (and all that we could have been) by trustingno1 (actually this one just inspired a fic in my head the other -day)

       - only lonely (but I can’t stop loving you) by trustingno1

       - The Sound of Your Voice From Far Away by pukeandcry

       - The ‘your life’s already tangled up in mine’ series by imsosorry (!!!! I’ll wish to all eternity that there was a third piece here where they are in an established relationship)

       - The ‘Hand in My Pocket/Head in the Clouds’ series by LittleLostPieces (the first three instalments are by far the best!)

       - Every Arrow That I Aim Is True by estrella30

       - And So Far So Good by checkthemargins (this fic inspired Timebomb and I borrowed the idea about beginning with newpaper clips from this it’s so ouch but also just so amazing!)

       - Pull Me Under by Zarah5 (wowza, I nearly forgot my all-time darling fic – it’s what started literally everything for me. If I were to ‘always in my heart’ anything, it would be Pull Me Under. It definitely gets the award for ‘fic that I would most like to read more of given the chance’!).

When did you start writing?  

I was about eleven or twelve when I started writing fic. And I was writing in English, which, in hindsight, really can’t have been pretty. I started writing HL in autumn 2013, though.

What was your favorite fic to write and why?  

This is a good question. I think my favourite writing process (quite paradoxically) was Like a Timebomb Ticking. It’s not the most fun fic to read, probably, but I’ve never had such an easy time at writing anything before (and my favourite scene I’ve ever written by far is in Timebomb!). It literally just wrote itself. So it’s definitely the least frustrating writing process I’ve ever had. It’s probably the time where I felt most like a writer, where it felt most natural. Usually I struggle a lot with writing. Other than that I think And Then a Bit must be up there, too. Mostly because I never thought that I would be able to write a long fic like that, so every completed chapter was a bit of a personal victory, especially when I actually finished it. No one had believed I was less capable of that than myself.

How and where do you find inspiration?  

Hmmm… I often get inspired by reading other fics. Like, often I read something and then it makes me want to replicate the feeling that I got when reading said fic myself. Sometimes I get inspired by a photo or something one of the boys said or maybe a movie I watched. And then I usually try to put my own spin on things. Like with the Vegas fic, it sort of sprung from my desire to write fake relationship again, and wanting to still keep it canon, and then I’ve watched What Happens In Vegas a couple of times and that probably inspired me too. And with Something Great I started out just writing some tags inspired by an instagram pic Harry’d once posted and ended up turning it into a fic. With Sweet Where You Lay I was just enamoured with Miles McMillan and Zachary Quinto, so that set that particular ship sailing. And Then a Bit got started with my desire for a canon fake!relationship fic. It’s a lot of different things that inspire me, basically – often just through the kind of fics I crave to read at the time myself, sort of an ‘if no one else will write it for me, suppose I’ll have to myself’ approach, haha.

Are any of your stories influenced by personal experience?    

Not really, I don’t think. My life is sadly lacking in romantic connections, haha. But I guess I often draw on the friendship part between the boys and between HL from personal experience.

How do you get over writer’s block?  

I’ll let you know when I figure it out. (Seriously.)

On average, how long does it take to write a fic?  

I don’t think I can really make an average. On the height of my ‘writing career’ (if you can call it that) – not long. Nowadays, it’s quite a while. I got the idea for the Vegas fic over a year ago… Timebomb got written in less than two weeks. I’m a pretty quick writer when I’m inspired and have the right combination of people behind me for encouragement, but when not I write very slowly. I think that as my involvement in fandom diminished and fandom-friendships sort of dissolved, so did my productivity fic-wise, which is probably quite natural. It is a difficult climate to write in, what we currently have fandom-wise, I think – at least for me.

How often do you sit down to write? What does your ideal work setting look like?  

Hmmm… when I was writing ATaB I tried to manage a little bit every day, but I’ve never quite been able to live up to it. I think I’m probably more the kind of writer who sits down less often, but when I do it’s usually to write a good chunk. If the inspiration is there, at any rate, or the right kind of pressure from betas/friends/whatever. These days I write much too rarely. I didn’t write a single word from late September to early January, for instance. I honestly thought I was done with writing and with fandom. Sometimes I still do, it goes up and down, I suppose.

As for the setting it doesn’t matter much to me. As long as it’s just comfortable to me, I don’t mind. Usually I prefer it to be pretty quiet, too, so that I don’t get distracted. I’m very easily distracted, sadly.

Pick 3 things that are absolutely necessary to make a good story!  

1) Character development – it doesn’t have to be much if it’s a short story, but I do prefer fic with some sort of conflict and I do think that conflicts are by far the most interesting if they lead to character development. Live and learn, you know.

2) Compelling storyline – it’s all about the ploooot. Plot over smut has always been – and will always be – my mantra.

3) Proper characterisation – this is so subjective, and it’s also often a really unfair requirement, but nothing turns me off a story quicker than if I don’t agree with the characterisation/character motivation. Luckily, though, there are probably loads other people who agree with the portrayals I don’t agree with, and isn’t that the beauty of fanfiction – and fiction in general, really? Something for everybody and for every different taste.

What do you like most about the writing process?  

Getting to live vicariously through the characters I create. When I’m in the throes of a project, I spend a lot of time just imagining various scenes between them while I go about my daily life, and most of them never actually make it into writing.

A good character in literature is usually one that goes through a lot of changes and grows dynamically from beginning to end. What is/are your favorite character arcs, and could you give us an example of one from one of your stories?  

Aaahhhh, I DON’T KNOW. Wow, haha, feel the pressure. Actually, I’m the absolute biggest Potterhead, and I’ve got such a soft spot for Ginny – I actually just did a lit exam for uni where I analysed her character, haha. I love the way she develops throughout the books even though she isn’t a particularly big character for most of the time. Other than that, I’m quite fond of James Potter’s development, which is a bit idiotic considering the fact that we know next to nothing about him from the books. I blame fic – particularly The Life and Times and Commentarius!  

My favourite character arch of my own, I think, would probably be what I’ve envisioned for Harry in the Vegas fic, haha. Which is a bit sad, and a bit mean of me to say, but it’s the truth. More than anything, the Vegas fic is thought to be a character development fic. I don’t think my oneshots usually allow for all that much character growth. I suppose that Louis does grow quite a lot in the struggle of overcoming his grief in Timebomb, and Harry, too, has a rather interesting development – in my opinion – in All the Lights, but, yeah, for true, deep character development, Vegas!Harry is hopefully the way to go.

What is your favorite genre/tag to write?

Fake!Relationship! Angst. Happy ending, that one’s a must!

What kind of scene do you find hardest to write? Easiest?  

Hardest? Smut. By far.

Easiest? Don’t think there’s anything. It’s only when inspiration really, really strikes that I find writing even remotely easy. It’s the best, though. It’s a maddening feeling when it’s like your fingers can’t type your thoughts quick enough and you can almost feel the great dialogue and similes and metaphors drift away before they make it through your fingers onto the keyboard and into the document. It’s a pretty rare occurrence, but it’s just the best feeling! Oh, and I do think, maybe, I find endings the easiest to write. Which is a bit odd, for someone like me who’s dead afraid of letting go and saying goodbye, haha.

Do you write chronologically?  

Yes and no. Mostly, I do. Like I sit down and I begin the story from the start and go from there. Then, often when I get stuck, I’ll write a part of the story that I’m really looking forward to, if there’s any, and then I’ll weave it in later when I get to it in the story. Or sometimes some dialogue or a great scene will pop into my head, and I’ll write that ASAP and then add it in when I get to it. But for the most part, I write chronologically.

Are you currently working on something? Can we have a little preview?  

Been trying my hand at the Vegas fic again, so I suppose you can have a piece of that. Just ‘cause you’re all so nice.

Louis stirs, and Harry panics, and like a sort of odd symbiosis of reactions the two seem irrefutably linked. Harry’s heart races, his head spins, and he realises – right there, right then – that he won’t ever be ready for the confrontation they’re about to have. It feels like some sort of twisted amalgamation of what’s surely to be the most awkward and uncomfortable conversation and situation of his life. He wishes he could just be absorbed into the ground, wishes a hole would open up in the floor and swallow him like he saw it happen to a demon in a recent episode of Charmed. He wishes his last name was Potter and not Styles, he would take on ten Voldemorts gladly in exchange for the invisibility cloak and the ability to apparate himself a hell of a long way away from here. A mouthful or two of an anti-hangover potion wouldn’t be amiss either.

But, alas, as it is his last name is Styles and right now his heads pounds, his stomach churns, his heart is ready to send him into cardiac arrest, and Louis sits up groggily on the bed, looking every bit as rough as Harry feels.

Anything you would like to say to your readers?

Thank you. Just thank you. Very much a lot. You have – literally – changed my life. Thank you.

Thank you so much, Heidi! We really appreciate all your hard work. The Vegas fic sounds amazing!
