argentum_lsFour days worth here because I got behind.
9 – Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
Pairings aren't really my thing. I've written pairing stories before, and I will do again, because sometimes I have stories to tell about couples or moresomes, but my go-to type of stories is either gen or gen with the pairings shoved into the background.
10 – Pairings – Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't write, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?
Um? Every pairing I've written is outside my comfort zone. The more explicit the story, the more outside my comfort zone it is.
To try to answer the question in good faith, I'll say this: Right now, I really like the pairing of Liam/Hayden for Teen Wolf, only I find myself without any stories to tell about them. Conversely, I wrote the crossover pairing of Thea Queen/Cara Coburn (Arrow/Tomorrow People) into a story without any pre-meditation; the story was supposed to be entirely gen, until suddenly it wasn't. They weren't a pairing I disliked, so much as a pairing I'd given exactly zero thought to until I was writing it.
11 – Genre – do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?
My favorite genre of fic is hurt/comfort, though I find my definition of "comfort" to be somewhat at odds with fandom-as-a-whole. Rather than the comfort coming in the form of physical tending (or sex), I prefer it to take the form of solidarity, i.e. Character A gets hurt and Character B steps up to support A in his/her time of pain. It also works if B chooses to carry the burden while A rests or recovers.
I honestly don't know if this is what I write the most; however, it is what I most enjoy writing.
12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
I did a Teen Wolf adaption of the movie Weird Science! That was one of the more bizarre (for me) things I've written, because it wasn't planned, wasn't any set of characters I'd written together before that, and was a lot more explicit than my usual fair. I got the idea and wrote the whole thing in less than two days.
Fusions aren't my preferred way to approach stories, but I really like how that one turned out.
