Fidget

Q) Ok, first question. What inspires you to write fanfiction?
A) Hmmm...Boredom with a situation that I'm forced to be in. Standing in a long line, grocery shopping, waiting rooms, whatever. I keep myself occupied by placing characters in whatever situation I'm in and seeing how they'd react. That's why so much of my fanfiction tends to be dull and Slice-of-Life-ish.

Q) Anything else?
A) Maybe music, too. But that's usually romance or angst fics.

Q) Ah. How many romance and angst stories have you written?
A) Romance? A million. I don't usually release them to the public, though, because boy! They sure are soppy.

Q) In your opinion, which of your stories are the best?
A) My stories? Oh, dear. Out of my A/M stuff, I'd say Electric Fire. The parts I wrote, not Kerro, because oddly enough I didn't write the ones Kerro did. I really need to write new stuff for that fandom and stick in some of my newer skill.

Q) What shows do you normally write for?
A) (laughing) Usually, ReBoot or Action Man. Occasionally some Harry Potter. Which isn't a sho, but whatever. They're my three biggest. Other stuff I like, I don't tend to write anything for. Some stuff I just can't think up storylines for.

Q) Who are your favorite characters in those three fandoms, and why?
A) Dot Matrix, Fidget Wilson, and Harry Potter, respectively. Dot and FIdget have the "pro-active female" thing in common, but as for Harry...I dunno. Go, protagonist. (waves a small flag)

Q) What about couples? Any that you adore? Any that you wonder what the author could have possibly been thinking?
A) Who's the author? Other fan fic authors or, like, J.K. Rowling?

Q) Other fanfic authors
A) Okay. Hmmm. I like Fidget/Tempest, because it's so very bizarre. I *love* Fidget/Rikki. People think that's ridiculous because they always fight but I have a sneeking suspicion that they boink like rabbits when they're alone. A couple I dislike is Alex/Fidget, just because it's kinda blegh. One I'm not sure of is Alex/Asazi because while it's a fun pairing, it also seems unlikely that Asazi would.. ...really be with anyone for a long time. Maybe they have occassional one-night-stands or something.

Q) Favorite episodes?
A) Oo, boy. I always cursed myself for missing almost all of the one with Fidget's twin, Candy. I would do a lot to get to see that one. And of course, the classic where Asazi first turns up in a diner. Super-fun.

Q) Which of your own fics would you recommend to a reader?
A) Probably Electric Fire. And I'd steer them away from that crazy songfic, that's for sure.

Q) Anything else?
A) Not like I have a huge selection to choose from.

Q) Ok. Which of other Authors stories would you recommend for a reader?
A) Oh, boy...Let me see. I guess I'd have to go with an oldie-but-goldie and say "A FAmily Christmas" by Pixistix. It was so cute and funny, and it has Jingle Bell Rock and Rikki diping Fidget. Fun stuff. If not that, "Ponderings" by Nora M. It was good, and in-character as I remember.

Q) And you created the AMSA( Actin Man Site Awards) Why did you do this?
A) Because I was jealous of the Unofficial ReBoot Awards (URA).

Q) How long do you plan to continue them?
A) Until I get tired of them or a life. Either one. The latter is unlikely to happen any time soon.

Q) Any advice for beginning authors?
A) Yes. Don't write any more Alex/Fidget romance stories. I despise them! Do you want me to despise you? Didn't think so!

Q) Anything else you'd like to add that I didn't ask about?
A) Mmm, I don't think so. Wait! I think there should be a Rocky Horro Picture Show/Action Man crossover. I may choose to do it if I can get my hands on a copy of the movie that I can watch over and over. If someone else did it, I would enjoy it thoroughly. That is all.
