Keyboard or biro?
I don’t know what a biro is. Presumably it infers writing long-hand? I’ll use either typing or writing long-hand depending on where I can be the most comfortable. Sometimes I’d rather curl up in a chair with my notebook, sometimes I prefer to type in my comfy computer chair. It depends on my mood and what’s going on. On rare occasions, I type in my living room chair with my laptop from work.

Beta or no beta?
I didn’t used to use a beta. I’m not great with the constructive criticism thing. After having a chapter rejected, though, (humiliation of an extreme nature for me) I decided to buck up and ask Delaney to look over my chapters. Lys has betaed for me, too. They are both incredibly proficient, and gentle on my ego. *hearts Delaney and Lys* Myn has helped me, too. She’s given me some good advice and pointed out some areas I need to improve in – all without making me want to cry, so that’s good. *hearts Myn* I got a little carried away with this question. A one-word answer would have sufficed. Hmm.

Plot?
God, I hope so. Not necessarily a brilliant, detailed plot, but some basic purpose to the story.

Title?
Titles are hard. I look back at some of mine and wonder what I was thinking. *coughDracoinMugglemagiclandcough*

Smushy or smutty?
Some smushiness. I haven’t posted any real smut, but I’m working towards it. It's a goal of mine. Angst is prevalent in a couple of my stories.

Summary?
I’m not great at these. They are easier to do for one-shots than for more lengthy fics, in my opinion.

Funniest fic?
Funny? I’m not sure I’ve achieved funny on any of my stories. I may have a couple funny moments in ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ and ‘Draco in Mugglemagicland’, but comedic timing is a gift I only wish I had.

Most popular fic?
‘Anniversary’ – hands down.

Best and Worst?
Best? Most folks would probably say ‘Anniversary’, but I’m inclined to say ‘Charming Memories’. It’s a creepy Gilderoy Lockhart one-shot I have up at ff.net that few people have ever read. I’m quite proud of it, but the subject matter is a bit oogy. Worst? Wow, that’s a tough call. It’s probably ‘Professor Malfoy and the Young Weasleys’, which is so predictable and common that I’m too embarrassed to post it on FIA. Funnily enough, it’s my second most popular story on ff.net.

Coulda been Contenders?
I can only assume this means stories that I think should be more popular than they are. ‘Loyalties’ would fit that bill, I suppose.

Strengths?
I’m really good at making Draco oblivious, but I don’t know if that really counts as a strength.

Weaknesses?
Imagery, being overly verbose, starting every sentence with a noun.

Dirty Little Secrets?
Like I’d tell you.
