Haaaa! There are so many I want to know about in the latest ask meme! So a bunch of them are : 1, 4, 8, 22, 23, 39 and 45, if you'll answer to any of them!
yes, of course i will! thank you for being so quick!! for this ask meme, which is still open! under a cut because this got long, lol, sorry to ramble.
1. What was the first fandom you got involved in?
percy jackson and the olympians. it was the first time i ever shipped anything, the first time i ever discussed headcanons, the first time i had to wait for something to be released (an…. entire….. year…. for the house of hades. and after the ending of mark of athena!!). 
actually, i think the first fandom i ever read fanfic for was harry potter. but i only started talking with a fic writer and getting fandom friends with pjo. so i stand by my answer for involvement, lol.
4. Do you regret getting involved in any fandoms?
honestly? again, percy jackson. the fandom was so young that fanon was out of control during my formative years, and it really messed up my idea of the characterization of the characters. i have such a solid basis of harry potter, and pjo isn’t… like that for me? and i blame the fandom, lol. on the other hand, i made a good friend over talking about pjo, and i read some phenomenal fanfic, so, y’know. not a total loss.
8. How did you get involved in your latest fandom?
A HA HA. i don’t know what fandom this is referring to?? i’m so multifandom that "current” fandom isn’t “latest” fandom and “latest” fandom is usually a fad. technically, i think my “latest” fandom is… (gasp) frozen? just because i’ve never been really interested in it before.
but! since i know you’re here for doctor who (and since it’s still technically my strongest fandom), i’ll tell that story, because i personally think it’s hilarious. see, there was this awesome author that i loved on fanfic.net. i’d read all of their pjo fics (i think there was like, three of them) and was desperate for more and they had a doctor who fic? so i clicked on it?
here’s the zinger. it was an amy/11 fic set while he was regenerating into 12. like. clara was there and everything. BASICALLY EVERYTHING I DON’T REALLY CARE ABOUT THESE DAYS.
but i was interested! this seemed interesting! regeneration! angst! heck yeah!
i went and read up on the worldbuilding on a wiki that i remember being… very moffat positive? oof, lol. a lot of emphasis on the doctor’s name and all. but then i started to go through the fanfic.net spiral (go through an author’s favorites, read the interesting fics, go through THOSE authors’ profiles, find new ones through their favorites lists) and found a really long river&rose bad wolf fixit? basically turn left but also all of seasons 5 and 6. (i actually thought it was canon compliant?? my relationship with doctor who canon is NEBULOUS, lol.)
eventually, a f t e r putting in investments such as: reading nancy’s masterwork of a series rewrite (go read it i am begging you), reading all the fanfic i could find, getting invested in ships with characters who i couldn’t pick out of a lineup, etc, T H E N i actually got around to watching seasons 1-4.
and here we are!
22. Is there anything you regret writing?
my fmab fic. i feel like i rushed it and it killed my desire to write anything else for that fandom. i want to rewrite it - i loved the concept - but i don’t know if i should… repost it? add a note in the summary saying “i’m sorry! i don’t think it sucks anymore!!” or what? sigh.
23. Name a fic you’ve written that you’re especially fond of & explain why you like it.
i’m EXTREMELY proud of the 13&martha fic. (and the 11rose god complex rewrite’s gonna be pretty good, if i do say so myself.)
uh? also the xmen fic that no one’s read? i was pretty deep cherik trash when i wrote it, which admittedly takes up too much space in the fic now (in my own personal opinion), but i love the trope of “longtime enemies who used to be friends have standing agreements allowing them to drop the antagonism and help each other out”, and i feel like i managed to articulate that in the fic! i’d dive deeper into it if i rewrote it, but ah well.
39. What is your greatest strength as a writer?
i have no idea?? i like the way i write dialogue, although it’s gotten harder (paradoxically) as i’ve written more.
i guess, predictably, that it’s emotions. i write about them a lot (oops) and i’m proud of how it turns out?
also characterization! i’m really proud of my characterization!! i make sure i can hear a character say the dialogue i’ve given them, and the thoughts i’ve given them, and i’m really, really proud of it. :)
45. What is your all time favourite fanfic?
mmmph. i’m supposed to choose??
probably everything by @ink-splotch, which is cheating, i know. if i had to choose one of her fics i’d probably go with the trans girl!harry fic, because it’s so, so wonderful.
uh, also honorable mention to this leia fic by @notbecauseofvictories because it is literally. everything i aspire to in writing, wrapped up in less than 2k.
second honorable mention to every single other star wars fanfic i’ve ever read, because that fandom is CRAZY TALENTED. for other fandoms, see last night’s post.
thank you for sending this! i had a lot of fun answering, lol.
