seriousficAnd really, I don't spam you people enough.
1. Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.
Well, there's this one thing I'm working on that blends a couple genres I'm interested in and gives me a chance to play with a lot of fun tropes. The tone is such that I can be really goofy and jokey at one moment, and then later on play things seriously and make people cry. Angst, but not too much angst. Plus, lots of fun left-field stuff like a quest narrative within the urban fantasy genre, a lack of sexy vampires, badass female characters with canonical queer tendencies... good sandbox.
Plus, it is such a relief to set something in present-day with a snarky narrator. Instead of having to find out exactly what Sherilyn Fenn's hairstyle is called, I can just say someone has hair like Sherilyn Fenn. It's very hard to pull that off when you write LOTR fanfic, no matter how many times you put her name through the Elfen Name Generator.
