Well, I should have left for my parents’ house, like, forty-five minutes ago… but my cell phone ate my alarm so I got up late and files are still uploading and I have to wait for them. So in the meantime I will take a fanfiction survey that I’ve already taken a million times.
| Fanfiction | |
| Do you read or write fanfiction? | NO NEVER NONE AT ALL EVER |
| When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction? | Too long ago to remember |
| What was your first fandom? | Star Wars |
| First ship? | Gary Stu x Jaina Solo |
| What website do you use most? | My own |
| What do you think of Fanfiction.net? | Da ha ha ha ha ha ha |
| What fandoms have you written in? | Finished stories? Quest for Glory, Rurouni Kenshin, Firefly, and Shaman King. Unfinished is a hell of a lot longer list. |
| Pairings? | Much as I’m tempted to make fun of the wording of this question, I answered “First ship?” without snark so I should probably be kind to this one as well. Saitou x Sano forever. |
| Any fandoms you would like to write in? | I’d love to finish all of (or… any of…) the in-progress stories from various random fandoms that I have sitting on my hard drive. |
| Do reviews affect how you write in any way? | Rarely |
| Do you use a beta? | Decidedly not |
| What ratings do you read/write? | Anything, though my fics tend to be an R-type level on average |
| What warnings have you used on your fiction/read? | I don’t put warnings on my fics because I hate giving away what’s going to happen in the story. I have written rape and character death, though, and HR’s going to have incest and drug use as well. I don’t read people’s warnings on fics, either. |
| Do you have any squicks? | Saitou dying |
| Do you Role-play online? If so, what? | What does this have to do wis fanfiction? Yeth, I roleplay on a few games. It’s even my turn to post on Paradise. Still. Not that that’ll get the world turning again. Also I play on an X-Men game where my character is the shallowest item in existence. |
| Have you ever stolen something from another person’s work? | What |
| Favorite fandom to write/read? | Gee, that’s a tough one. Let me think about that for a moment. |
| Favorite pairing? | Dude, why am I taking this survey, again? |
| Favorite writer/writers? | Myself, primarily. But I also graciously love some other people. |
| How long should a chapter be? | As long as it takes. |
| Do you write/read drabbles? | According to the technical definition of the term, I have never written one. I have read many that people claim are drabbles but really aren’t. To my knowledge I have never read a real one. |
| Any fandoms you avoid? | Harry Potter. It’s like a swamp. |
| Pairings you avoid? | I tend to avoid Sano x Kenshin… not because I have anything against the pairing, but because the majority of works containing it rape Kenshin’s character in a way I can’t stand. |
| Warnings you avoid? | One of the few things I really can’t stand is Saitou dying. If the warning says “character death” and I start to get the feeling that he’s going to be the one, I’ll stop reading. |
| Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is? | Heh |
| What do you think of Mary Sues? | Da ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha hahaha ha ha ha |
| Have you ever flamed someone? | No |
| Have you ever been flamed? | Yeth |
| That’s it, aren’t you glad? | Kindof. Though my files still aren’t done uploading, and I was supposed to be there ten minutes ago. |
| CREATE YOUR OWN! – or – GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS! | |
Harry Potter. It’s like a swamp.
It’s the fandom everyone else points to and says thank goodness their fandom isn’t as bad. ^_^
Seriously! And though you know there are plenty of good fics in there, they’re just not worth finding!!
Who’s your character in the X-Men game?
It’s an OC. Look here if you’re interested.
Ooh, it seems pretty interesting. How is your character shallow?
She’s still in the cocoon of adolescence (as it were XD) and hasn’t learned to look beyond herself. It doesn’t help that she’s a model.
Ahh, I see, haha. Any favorite characters in X-Men, either comic-verse and/or movie-verse?
My favorites in the comics are Psylocke, Emma Frost, Monet St. Croix, Penance, Warren, Storm, Polaris, and I dunno who else. In the movies I was very fond of Mystique, though I’ve always been indifferent to her in the comics. And of course Patrick Stewart = love in any setting.
Hm, unfortunately I’m not able to really keep up with the comics as much as I like, though I hear from others that in recent years X-Men comics have completely gone to hell beyond all recognition. I also haven’t had much exposure to Psylocke or Emma Frost, and actually have no idea who Monet St. Croix, Penance, or Polaris are =X
My favorites would have to be Wolverine and Gambit. For that reason (liking Gambit, I mean), I tend not to have a good impression of Warren, just because he’s usually portrayed as being pretty nasty to Remy. I also like Storm and Magneto, but nowhere near the level that I do Logan and Remy.
As for the movies, Mystique, yes, definitely. Wolverine without a doubt because for me, Hugh Jackman = love in any setting. All the other characters were generally favorable to me, but I felt that they weren’t as developed as I would’ve liked, and so none of them were totally
… I’ve just realized that my icon at the moment is Wolverine from the movie. Well then. I guess you didn’t really need me to tell you that I think he’s kickass.
I gave up regularly reading comic books when I got into anime because of the expense, and that was several years back. Additionally, the main title I read was Spider-Man in all its incarnations; actually I still tend to buy the collecteds of that… I should really just subscribe again and save myself the trouble. Anyway, I only picked up X-Men occasionally, though I did read nearly the entire run of Generation X and Mutant X. So I’m relatively familiar wis the universe, but I couldn’t speak as to its current status XD But Polaris is so freaking hot. Observe via my mad bandwidth-stealing powers:
It’s the green hair that gets me. OMFG.
I never got into the Spider-Man comics (or the cartoon), though I watched the first two movies and thought they were decent. Movie-verse Peter Parker is a little too dorky for me though.
Haha, green hair! I agree that you’ve gotta love a lady who can pull that off and look that good.
And it’s just funny to me that she’s talking about the dude’s sisters who all became Zoroastrians when I *just* (literally, as in 10 seconds ago) dug up an old paper I had to do on Zoroastrians back in high school. Huh.
Heh heh… that is an awesome coincidence.
The Spider-Man movies were OK. I didn’t adore them, but I didn’t hate them either.
