Pick a fic of mine and a question and I'll tell you:

1. What part was most difficult?
2. What are you most proud of?
3. What's a reference you made no one has picked up on yet?
4. What's a bit that sums up your take on a character?
5. Favorite line(s) of dialogue?
6. Favorite lines(s) of prose?
7. Were there any points where you were trying to do something specific with sound, vocabulary, or rhythm?
8. How many drafts did the work go through?
9. Were you listening to anything while writing the fic? If so, what? I have severe ADD and cannot focus with music playing, so the answer to this one is always no.
10. Imagery that is important to the fic, either while composing or in the fic itself?
11. What were you most worried about during the composition?
12. How do you want readers to react to this fic?
13. What did you want them to take away from it?
14. What inspired this fic?
15. If you used a beta, what did you agree or disagree on?
16. Did anything surprise you during the writing?
17. Were any parts written under the influence? I don't really drink? Like, I have shot glass of wine sometimes, if there's wine open. You're welcome to ask about me being under the influence of other things, though. :D

Seraph.

16. Did anything surprise you during the writing?

[snickfic]

Oh, man. You're expecting me to remember things from like four years ago!

I've already talked about how Dawn was a surprise - in the first few Spike+someone scenes, I had Anya instead. Hmm, I'm not sure this is exactly a surprise, but writing this fic is how I got started figuring out Buffy as a character, which I wouldn't have expected. I'd even sort of started shipping them by the end (in the 'verse of the fic), which I definitely didn't expect at the beginning.

About translation

[Катерина Охрименко (from livejournal.com)]

Hello! Сould I translate your fic "you were meant for me (perhaps as punishment" and share it on FICBOOK (Russian one for fanfiction) (using your name?)

Re: About translation

[snickfic]

Thank you so much for offering, but I ask that you don't translate and repost my fic. I feel honored to be asked, but I'm not comfortable with the idea of my fic existing somewhere where I have no control over it. Thank you, though!
