I was a TB fan and used to go onto the TrueBlood Wiki. Of course, they have a lot of good stories, and some of them are linked to Fanfiction, and that’s how I got into it. I read a lot before a small plot bunny started hopping around in my head, and I very cautiously put Happy Anniversary out there to see what the response was. This was in November 2010, so just over two years ago. I’d never written anything before in my life (as you can tell from HA - it’s pretty rough round the edges).
2. Do you have a plan for the end of your story or do you make it up as you go along?
It’s pretty much made up as I go along, which is a real headache when trying to keep track of continuity. Sometimes it’s just a really strong visual in my head which I write towards. Bizarrely (or possibly very revealingly) the first scene that occurred to me for Immortal Beloved was Sookie and Pam’s meeting with Ocella. The rest of the story grew towards and then away from that point.
3. Who are your favorite SVM/TB characters and why?
Hello? Have you met me? I’m All About Eric and always will be. Reasons? How long have you got…
Mind you, I’m also very fond of La-la, because he’s such an honest character. He doesn’t attempt to hide who or what he is, and I admire that.
And, of course, everybody loves Pam.
4. What was the first fan fiction story that you read?
Not sure I can remember the very first, but I know Pour Some Sugar On Me was one of the early ones, and it impressed me mightily.
5. What question would you like to be asked and never have been?
I would like to be asked “would you like a publishing deal, which would involve vast amounts of money, and would include a film, the hero to be played by Alexander Skarsgard, with whom you would be expected to have many long, private meetings?”
Answer) “Yes.” (a girl can dream *sigh*)
