#4

Themes I love writing about...hmm...!!!

I'm not sure if that's actually genre more than theme (where's the difference?) but I love first time fics (first time anything, not just romance). Anything humorous and light-hearted, the kind you get in fluffy, happy relationships (romantic or friendship).

And, for some weird reason, I tend to end up writing a lot about the owie theme. *g* Whether I whump Neal or hurt Peter, I like to explore the hurt theme (and all that entails...the scary bit, the comfort bit, the angst and pain and worry...)

You know, I just realized that the overall theme with any of these is relationship. So, anything inter-personal, from friendship to romance. I think exploring that is my favorite theme. :)

Talk to me about #5, please.

And don't forget to pick a number on my meme, 'kay?

My inspiration?

*points wordlessly at the perfection that is Matt Bomer*

Mmmmmmmmm......!!!!!! :D

2! :)

Past tense!!!

Good lord, if I write in present tense, I have to keep going back and change tenses because I automatically switch back to past tense.

Funny thing is, I don't mind reading fic in present tense. But writing it ends up with my fingers in knots. *g*

(Also? Yummy Suits icon is yummy! :D)

Hee, you don't want knotted fingers! My default always used to be past tense too, though recently I feel it shifting to present. I know a lot of people don't like reading fic in present tense though!

Eeeee Suits!! I've just watched the first two seasons in the last couple of weeks and started the third, I adore it! I am in love with Harvey! And Harvey/Mike! And Harvey/Donna! I really need to join the fandom...And find fic. And write fic! Have you ever written in it? x

Nope, I'm not in the fandom (and I've made a very conscious decision not to join...for one thing, I don't need another fandom since I don't have enough time for the ones I'm already active in, and for another...what self-respecting fandom exists almost exclusively on Tumblr FFS?)

But yes, aside from the WTFuckery that the so-called plots are, I have a very soft spot for Harvey and Mike. *g* I'm used to handwaving liek whoa in WC (and NCIS, to an extent) so windmilling like crazy while watching Suits doesn't bother me. Much. LOL!

Ugh no, it's a tumblr fandom?! I'll have to see if I can seek out the few LJ-ers then! (It does at least appear to have a kink meme, not that that was the first thing I looked for or anything!! o.O)

Heh, yes I imagine most of the law stuff must make you side-eye it hard if you know how it should be, but I don't know too much about law mechanics so I can allow it to wash over me in ignorance and just look at Harvey in his vests! :D

Number 8 please!

Good question! I think my favorite is Neal because there are so many things to explore. He's the easiest to write because I seem to be able to "get inside his head" and understand him/his motivations/his thoughts and emotions. Or I totally suck and everyone laughs behind my back. *g* But I feel that he's the easiest and most fun character to delve into.

The least favorite to write would probably be Mozzie. I love the guy and I really wish I could write him, but I can never seem to find his voice! He's such an awesome character that I want to do him justice, and I always feel as if I'm doing him a disservice whenever I try to write him. :(

I agree, Moz is really hard to write. I like the challenge, but I tend not to focus stories on him cause 10,000 words of Moz would be like trying to climb Mt. Everest.

And, Neal is definitely fun to explore.

I need some Matt Bomer icons stat. (Don't ask me why I'm telling you that) How about #10?

WE ALL NEED MORE MATT BOMER ICONS! /stating the obvious

My strengths? Hmm. I think I'm pretty good at writing humor. Not necessarily slap-your-thigh-laugh-out-loud-guffawing humor, but light-hearted fun.

My other strength is that I can produce under pressure. (Deadlines FTW! *g*)

Another strength (if you can call it that *g*) is that I'm pretty good at coming up with ideas. I never lack plotbunnies, and I can get inspired by the silliest little thing. Which can be curse as well, obviously, because ZOMG PLUNNEHS AND NOT ENOUGH TIME TO WRITE. But it's neat to be able to create something out of nothing, basically.

That's really cool. I perform better under pressure too!

#9?? :)

Okay, the only WIP I have is my first Reverse Big Bang fic, which is finished but still needs serious betaing/editing, so I consider it to still be a work-in-progress...

So, here we go, a bit of El in an...unusual role. *g*


Dressed to the ninth in latex corset and mini-skirt as well as knee-high leather stilettos, with her eye make-up done to highlight her bright blue eyes, El managed to hail a cab and get to the appointment only fifteen minutes late.

It was all Peter’s fault, she kept telling herself.

The fact that she hated fetish gear only made her crankier. She knew she looked breathtakingly beautiful in the outfit, with her curves accentuated and her hips forced to sway due to the high heels of her boots, but it was hot under the latex and she was sweaty and sticky, and all she wanted was a hot shower.

Her mark didn’t seem to have a problem with her being slightly late. In fact, she made it clear that bad boys needed to learn patience, and if he didn’t behave right now, she would go into the other room, have a leisurely drink, and leave him hanging for another half an hour.

This turned de Santos on like nothing else, and he dropped to his knees and begged to be disciplined.

El had him tied up helplessly in no time, made sure he was blindfolded and gagged, and then matter-of-factly broke his neck. He never knew what hit him.

El hated this kind of death. She was an expert in poison and knew how to wield any kind of knife. But with time running out, she had to go with the direct approach.

Besides, it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that the mark was dead.

El packed her stuff and sauntered out of the penthouse, a sultry smile on her lips when the doorman hailed a cab for her.

OH HELLO, that's delicious!
