What's the last thing you wrote?
The last thing I finished was my Prison Break correction of the final of season two.

Was it any good?
I hope so.

lindtti, what do you think?

What's the first thing you ever wrote that you still have?
The first thing I've ever written was a story about the smurfs, when I was like seven years old, but I don't have it anymore. I SWEAR it was not slash.
I still have my diaries, which I started, when I was thirteen or twelve. Do they count?

Write poetry?
I tried and noticed that I need more words. They sucked, btw *ggg*

Angsty poetry?
Yes, I was 16. Everything was angsty

Most fun character you ever wrote?
Seth Cohen. I love to write him. And LJ Burrows. I have fun writing my Prison Break ~~obsession~~ OTP in general

Most annoying character you ever wrote?
Arwen, maybe? Because I really can't stand her and I needed her in one of my fics.

Best plot you ever wrote?
The Michael/Lincoln crack, I think. And the LOTR AU. (It hasn't been posted, yet)

Coolest plot twist you ever wrote?
My alternative Sona thing. And it's not "cool" in a "cool way" but cool in a "I fixed it in a believable way" way, I guess...

How often do you get writer's block?
Waaaaaaaaay to often.

How do you fix it?
I'm bitching and whining about it. And bitching and whining some more.
Sometimes I'm watching TV (movies or shows) to get inspired.
Sometimes I write by hand and sometimes I just have to wait and hope it won't last long...

Do you type or write by hand?
In case of the evil writer's block I write by hand. Or when I can't focus sitting in front of the document. But most of the time, I type.

Do you save everything you write?
Pretty much, yeah.

Do you ever go back to an old idea long after you abandoned it?
Hm... I have a few unfinished stories that I don't want to give up, even when I haven't written them for years, but basically, no. I'm not going back.

What's your favourite thing that you've written?
The Crack fic I mentioned above (still writing it)

What's everyone else's favourite thing that you've written?
I don't know? You tell me :)

Yeah, I do.

Romances all the way, baby.

Do you prefer happy endings, sad endings, or cliff-hangers?
Happy endings, because they are rare in real life.

Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?
Yes, but I'm very glad I have awesome grammar betas *loves*

Does music help you write?
It depends on my mood. And on the plot. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't.
