Fandom meme! [Mostly to distract you from the not-writing going on over here]

[perpetual_motion]

What is your alias?

Perpetual Motion

How did you choose it?

I picked up the nickname in high school from one of my teachers. I don't think she ever expected it to be used quite like this, though.

What fandoms do you write for?

You know what? To save us all some time, and to save me some effort, just head over to the webpage and have a gander. I think the latest numbers have me at 49 fandoms.

What fics are you currently working on?

I'm attempting a Bobby/Carver and attempting an Anderson Cooper/someone. Other than that, I'm pretty much without ideas. I do take requests.

What fandom did you start in?

Now, I could use my usual answer and say "The Sentinel", but that's not entirely true. Way back in the day, when I was young and impressionable [read: 15], I may have written fan fiction for Power Rangers. Shut it. I said shut it. Or at least laugh a little more quietly.

What is your deepest darkest fic-writing secret?

I have an entire series of stories that had a massive Mary Sue, and I didn't realize it at the time. Luckily, the bulk of the series has vanished off the face of the 'net. There's a reason I stopped writing het for a long time: my het used to suck.

Do you have any quirks/habits in your writing?

I have an amazing ability to get ten or twenty or thirty pages into a story, and then leave it unfinished. I have three or four long Harry Potter stories that have officially gone nowhere in the last year, and I still can't bring myself to get rid of them.

Do you have any fan fiction pet peeves?

Bad grammar. I also hate finding a badly written story with a really good plot. I get annoyed that some of the most prolific writers are some of the worst. People who gush over a particular author when the author has no idea about how to handle grammar, or plot, or emotion.

Do you have an OTP?

I used to, way back in the day, but since then I've become a massive whore. No, wait, I think I do have one! Rube/George from "Dead Like Me", because as much as I like Mason, I can't see Rube or George putting up with him in a romantic sense. Wow. An OTP.

If you could get someone to write a fic for you right now, who would it be?

Goren/Carver, Rube/George, Venkman/Spengler [yeah, I sait it.]
