3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Why can't I say all of them? I mean that seriously--if I write a character it's because I love love them, and even if I don't at the start, the process of writing makes me love them because I have to become empathetic to their situation and how they would react to it. Also there are different things you get out of writing various characters.
Part of the process of writing fic, for me, is coming to that place of loving to write them. It might be why I write so many ensemble fics, because I have tons of characters I like to write, and I adore writing them in all kinds of combinations--not pairings so much as friendships and conversations. For instance, for The Trick Is to Keep Breathing, I really loved writing Harry and Pansy's conversation in Africa, and all those shopping trips with Padma and Ginny, and Harry and Dean talking together, and certainly the Ginny-Pansy-Parvati discussion in Sweden. I like seeing Uhura-Bones and Kirk-Spock bffery. I love characters with close friends and thinking about how romantic relationships mean that their friends will have to deal with their new squeeze.
