11 – Genre – do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?

Yep, all together now, ALTERNATE UNIVERSE. Just about every fic I've done that's not a one shot (and a few that are) are AU. I've always enjoyed throwing characters into different positions and seeing how they react, and it's a lot of fun pressing the 'undo' button ont heir personalities and re-running them withsome new twists (I&E, Past Tense, Diaspora) and seeing how the characters end up. I am also a MASSIVE SUCKER for 'grew up together as best friends' fics. I LOVE THESE STORIES. I love seeing what they do to the characters.

Otherwise, I do write a lot of angst, becaue while my characters' love lives might be steady, the world outside really isn't. Horror is pretty bog too, especially in my old HP fics which were either character pieces of Voldemort and the Death eaters or, more close to the end of that damn series, me seeing how many ways I could burn the world to pieces. Not much humour really. X-Men fics tend to be highly historical.

12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?

13 – Do you prefer canon or fanon when you write? Has writing fanfic for a fandom changed the way you see some or even all of the original source material?
