Well, might as well start with 1.

To be perfectly honest, I think the story that I'm most proud of is the one I wrote last year for NaNoWriMo, "Before the Dawn". I think it definitely helps that I managed to get the characterization down, and the character development, and the emotional moments, and it was good to sort of break away from some of the expected tropes, such as sparing Owen and Beru instead of killing them (and I think it made for much more interesting conflict for Mara in terms of reconciling her birth family and her adoptive family -- Obi-Wan/Terminus and Sabe, and Owen and Beru, respectively), redeeming Terminus early (again, a lot more interesting conflict), etc. That and I think I wrote a genuinely disturbing Palpatine for the few moments he appeared. I know I definitely wanted to give him a moment that showed how ruthless and cruel he was, and using Force Lightning on Terminus was a great sort of establishing moment. And writing Mara was a joy. So I think of all my works, in terms of character development, plot, emotional moments, dialogue, etc., "Before the Dawn" is my best work.

8, please?
I also wanna know 5, but I guess it's only one per person?!

I think most people do as many as they want, really.

In terms of eight, I really love writing for Anakin, Padme, Rose Tyler, Martha Jones, Amy Pond, the Tenth Doctor, the Ninth Doctor, and most sympathetic villain characters (and villain characters in general because I think I do my best writing there). In terms of the characters I like writing the least, it's usually the characters that really, really annoy me, or whose character I don't have a solid grip on. It doesn't even have to be a character I hate; it can be a character I really like but can't really get a grip on (see also some villain characters like Grand Moff Tarkin, etc.). In terms of why, well, it's mostly because they're really interesting, likeable characters that I can do a lot with (in terms of Anakin, Padme, Rose, Martha, Amy and Nine and Ten), and, in terms of the sympathetic villain characters...well, getting inside their heads is amazing. You can do a lot with them, develop them -- it's something you can do with the villains who are more of an abstract of evil as well (I mean, I consider the short bit with Palpatine using Force Lightning on Darth Terminus as one of my best scenes in "Before the Dawn") but with sympathetic villains, you have a lot to work with. So it's the characters who are fascinating, endearing, etc. that are my favorites to write just because of how much you have to work with. :)

As for number five, I mostly get inspired via "What if this happened" or certain crossovers or ideas that no one's done before or even stuff that people have done before but I want to give my own spin to. So really, it just varies.

What if can make some great AUs and some awesome fics and ideas! (:

I don't like writing fandom characters as a general rule because I fear getting their characterization right.
Eleven, for me as always been my favourite to right. I worry about getting Sherlock right because he's so clever and sees through everything and can be so sassy. . . But he is also very enjoyable to right, so I get what you're saying! :D :D

Jamie Nichos. A Jedi Padawan under Ki Adi Mundi back in the time of the Clone Wars, not a particularly outstanding Jedi Padawan, but doing her best on things such as missions, etc. Very much a Naive Everygirl, trying to figure out what it means to be a Jedi, trying to control her anger, etc. Come Order 66, she is forced to escape and make it on her own, all while evading the eye of Darth Vader and the Emperor. Eventually, she meets up with Luke, Han and Leia, and continues to fight the Empire with them.

Huh. I might have to write that sometime. It'll take a lot of time and planning , but hopefully, I can do it.

[angel-in-tears.livejournal.com]

YES PLEASE. WRITE THIS. Lol! *HUGS*

[ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! *Hugs back* I'll definitely do it. :)
