- Your favorite genre/s: cyberpunk, young adult, literature classics, fantasy, archaeological fiction (if any such genre exists), historical fiction, children's literary classics, psychological thrillers, surrealistic, expressionistic, impressionistic, - Your favorite author/s: many many... Enid Blyton, Dean Koontz, Neil Gaiman, Franz Kafka, Philip Pullman, Tolkien, Jean M. Auel, JK. Rowling, Jostein Gaarder, and many more whose names I don't remember - Your favorite book/s: His Dark Materials, Earth's Children, Dracula, Frankenstein, The Christmas Mystery, Neuromancer, Seize The Night+its predecessor, etc. - Your favorite character/s: I'm not sure. I like Pippin from LOTR a lot, although my all time favourite might have to be Kári from Fóstursonurinn, by Árni Ólafsson. - Least favorite book/s: the vampire books by Anne Rice (save for Pandora). Can't say Twilight for I will not degrade myself to read those books. - Least favorite characters: Lestat. His self-importance and blah blah blah plus Anne Rice's inability to shut up and get on with the plot made me so annoyed I didn't get further than chapter one. - Recommended reading: His Dark Materials. I also recommend any and all Franz Kafka and Neil Gaiman's Stardust. I also recommend Dracula, not for the entire vampire thing but for the interesting views the book offers on the role of the female in a (then) contemporary society. If you're annoyed by Jonathan Harker, don't give up, he's not the only POV and won't stay for long.
Writing
- What do you write: I used to write poems, but I've stopped that now. Sometimes I write songs. Most of the time I write fiction; short stories and longer. - Your favorite genre/s to write: I'm not aware of what genre I write... adult/young adult fiction, I assume. - Do you write fanfiction? yes, in the finndom. (RPS) my OTP is Jack(Private Line)/Christus (ex-Negative). Most often abbreviated Japa/Kris. a photo of them together. - Do you write original fiction? yes. :) - Current project: Passion Colours Everything. It started out as fan-fiction but I don't think I'll keep it that way. Gay university professor who's deliberately shutting out the world ends up having a fling with a student. sounds more cheesy than it is. It's about character and psychological development. - An area you'd like to improve in: Overall. I can't really think of an area I definitely know I need improvement in, but I'll take critique where it's given and work on it. - An accomplishment you're proud of: when I finally finished That Kind of Dirty. It was 8 months in the making ~end result 23k words, 14 chapters. ♥
Other
- Hobbies: photography, reading books, writing, music, going to gigs, spend time with my friends, walk our dogs, play with the children, photoshop, web design, drawing, painting... many things. - What's in your journal? Two entries. xD There's not a lot and at the moment I'm more or less synchronising it with my LJ. - Why did you move to DW? I haven't. I'm not leaving LJ and I'm keeping DW alongside it. - Favorite energy drink? I hatehatehate energy drinks. - Anything else? I don't think so. Ask. :)
