Fanficton
Do you read or write fanfiction?	Both
When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?	Started reading in November 2003; started writing about February 2004
What was your first fandom?	LotR; it's my only fandom, although I have once in a while read a story or two from another
First ship?	None
What website do you use most?	Stories of Arda, also LJ
What do you think of Fanfiction.net?	*snort* some good stories there but too hard to find amongst the dreck
What fandoms have you written in?	LotR
Pairings?	Merry/Estella, Pippin/Diamond, Sam/Rose, played at the edge of Drogo/Primula
Any fandoms you would like to write in?	There are a couple of authors who don't seem to *have* any fanfic written about them that I have occasionally thought of, but I'm too pre-occupied with hobbits right now to bother.
Do reviews affect how you write in any way?	Once in a while a reviewer will spark an idea
Do you use a beta?	Rarely
What ratings do you read/write?	All, but almost never NC-17. If it's an author I trust, I *might* give it a look, but I tend to skim when I get to the NC-17 parts.
What warnings have you used on your fiction/read?	Violence, character death, substance abuse
Do you have any squicks?	Major canon character death, dark AU, gratuitous character torture, mpreg
Do you Role-play online? If so, what?	No
Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?	Not as far as I know
Favorite fandom to write/read?	LotR
Favorite pairing?	None really; I enjoy any canon pairing if well-written
Favorite writer/writers?	Lindelea, Shirebound, Grey Wonderer, Budgielover, Anso, Larner, Rabidsamfan, Ariel--they all pop to the top of my head, but there are numerous others. Almost all the hobbit writers on Stories of Arda I enjoy.
How long should a chapter be?	LOL! From where it starts to where it stops. I'm notoriously inconsistent with chapter lengths.
Do you write/read drabbles?	Yes. I love them. I like to read them better than to write them, but I've learned to do the latter as well.
Any fandoms you avoid?	So far all of them except LotR
Pairings you avoid?	Very unfond of Interspecies when hobbits are involved
Warnings you avoid?	majority of slash; mpreg; character death; most NC-17
Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is?	No. Some of the best stories I've read have few reviews.
What do you think of Mary Sues?	They are what most younger writers start with, basically just wish fulfillment fantasies. I don't care for them, but I will occasionally read one if the writer shows promise that she might move on to better things.
Have you ever flamed someone?	No.
Have you ever been flamed?	Not seriously.
That's it, aren't you glad?	This was fun!
