day221b asks: Dec 18: What first drew you to Smallville, and what was the turning point to make you want to write in the fandom? :D

What drew me to SV? Well, I was reading BtVS mainly, and reading in other fandoms sporadically—BDS, SN, Faculty—and came across some amazing dub-con, angsty RedK stories, searched out other stories and found a place in the Fandom of Pain. I loved it so much I had to try and my first few stories were very short and absolute shit, and then I wrote a longer story, also shit. And then, I threw off the traces and wrote whatever I damn well felt like writing about Clark and Lex and it got better. :D
Those boys—they were fun to write and SV peeps were wonderfully patient and kind. Best fandom ever to newbies, thank you so much, guys! ♥


rosy5000 asks: Dec 21 - How did you get hooked on Clark/Lex/Whitney? *G*

I don't know! It just happened! I loved Clark and Whit together but I didn't want Lex to be left out—Clark/Lex is my otp! And suddenly there it was—the dreaded threesome! Which, wow—is really hard to write! So many…hands. ;)


Anonymous asks: Questions: What got you interested in writing fanfic? What is your favorite Smallville story and why?

I always wanted to write—always. So of course, I learned to draw instead because I was sure I couldn't write--not enough words to tell the stories I wanted to, anyway. A bazillion years later, I found the BtVS fandom, and read all the stories. Which led to wanting to *write* the stories and with the encouragement of tabaqui, my first and dearest friend here on LJ, I tried my hand at it, with varying degrees of success. Good or not, I enjoy writing the stories. No matter how I bitch and complain and cry, they're all my babies.

My fav SV story? There are so many, and I read bazillions and forgot most of them but Shmoop by Caroline Baker (Clark/Whit), which I cannot find for love nor money, and Things I Cannot Change by emeraldsedai, (Firefly/SV x-over) a story that turned my brains inside out, remain my favorites. I've read a lot of stories and loved the hell out of them but these two stick in my swiss cheese memory.

My favorite story I wrote? Firebird and the Gray Wolf, because I loved it, hated it, loved it, hated it and finally decided that I loved it. For many different reasons. ;)


more meme coming! someday soonish. ;)

*smooches you*

You are a *wonderful* writer, my dear Ms. Rose. I'm so glad that anything i said encouraged you, because fandom would be very sad pandas indeed without your lovely stories.

And may you write many more stories! Thanks for sharing how you started writing fanfic and your favorite SV story including one that you wrote. My favorite SV story by you, hmm there are several but 2 of my favorites are Out of a Foreign Land and The Boys of Summer. I also like Mercy by Koi and Immortality by Grail in the SV fanfic .

Oh, thank you so much--Out of a Foreign Land is really one of my favorite fics, and I won't lie, I reread that one and enjoy it like it was written by someone else--very little cringing and wanting to edit it more, lol!

Ah, old school SV--such amazing writers and with an open canon, the world was their oyster!

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

Really? My story? TTICC?

Wow.

I am so far beyond flattered that it's ridiculous. Thank you, dear. I had no idea! Funnily enough, I was just re-reading that story last night (it's held up pretty well, I think), so to find this here today is really enormously synchronistic, besides being so, so gratifying.

[roxymissrose.livejournal.com]

omgosh, *YES* that story! That story blew my mind when I first read it! I didn't know that was possible, that you could just break out of the boundaries of canon like that. And the writing! Oh my god. That story really has held up. I reread it every few years because it's just so beautiful. And that reminds me, I have to add a link!

*blink* okaaaaaaaaay...bedtime! *slinks away*
