24 – Betaing – How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your fic? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?

I'm the kind of asshole who doesn't use a beta. If it's a story for someone else or for a challenge or something, I'll have one person read it over, but 90% of my fanfiction (and original fiction) isn't beta-read. I am overly confident in my own grasp of grammar and spelling, and it's not like you can have that many plot holes in porn.

25 – Music – Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your fic? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?

Yes, I almost always listen to music when I write. I used to come up with playlists for characters, but now I mostly just listen to other people's fanmixes.

26 – What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a fic?

Oddest... probably types of erectile dysfunction. Most fun... well, it's always fun to research being high in order to write characters that are high.

27 – Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?

I get most of my writing done in bed, on my computer. When I write by hand it's out of necessity, either because I don't have my computer with me or because I'm in class and everyone thinks I'm taking notes. I don't like writing by hand because anything I write out, I'm going to have to type up anyway, and it's harder to edit things on paper.

28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?

I used to co-author original fiction, but I can't recall ever collaborating on fanfiction. Any art that's been done for my fic was entirely unprompted on my part (but always appreciated).

29 – What is your current project or projects?

I'm trying to do a Kink Bingo line for Venture Brothers, but it's not going well. (I have more podfic projects going-- one Robin Hood, at least three Sherlock and at least two X-Men including a chaptered WIP.)

30 – Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!

All of the things that I like most are terribly self-indulgent and it's kind of embarrassing to say "oh yeah, my favorite thing I've ever written is an AU where they're wizards." Twice as embarrassing when I never could finish the sequel I was writing to it. okay fine it's I Know It's Strange which is Chuck fic about a character I loved that everyone else seemed to hate and it's possibly the longest one-shot I've ever written. All of my favorite things I've written are AUs. This is not because I can't work within canon, because I can, but just because I really like AUs. (Also my favorite podfic I've ever recorded is an AU.)
