Ask me one question - any one - about my writing, then post this in your LJ so I can satisfy my curiosity about yours.

Anything that squicks you? And if you write things that squick you (though apparently I'm the only moron who does that), how do you do it?

See, not a whole lot squicks me; that's the thing.

A few commoner "squicks" turn me on/I really enjoy love-- noncon/rape, sadomasochism, bondage, petplay, fisting, crossdressing/emasculininization, piercing play, humiliation, exhibitionism, group-sex, weaponkink...

A bunch more don't faze me much, or at least I could actually write it, even if I found it faintly disturbing-- bloodplay/fetishism, zoophilia/beastiality, incest, snuff, necrophilia, watersports, various fetishes, cock-n-ball torture and nipple torture are the quickest to think of.
Some of this, I have already written. "The Passion" did bloodplay/vampirism; ALL of my Envy/Ed is more or less "incestuous"(what's with the quotation marks? I don't consider that incest, and I have good reasons for it), and I did do that Ed/Al/Roy fic for Tsuki even though Elricest SQUICKS ME HARDCORE!; I flirted with snuff in "Father Figure". I would do necrophilia or beasiality; I just haven't gotten a pairing in mind for either of those yet.

There you go: biggest squick I actually have written and probably will write again...
ELRICEST. *headDESK*
Gawd, I hate it. It makes me cry tears of blood. The first time I heard about Envy's origins, my response was a stunned and horrified, "OMFG, I ACCIDENTALLY WROTE A FORM OF ELRICEST! ...*cries* I need to commit seppuku now..." But since I didn't, I at first bitterly accepted it, and then later thought about it and rerationalized it as non-incestuous.
I told Tsuki I'd bloody well write her OT3, and I never back down from a challenge, so...
I wrote it, but I had to keep it in Roy and Al's perspectives, 'cause I knew there was no way I could believeable write an IC Ed in that situation. Other than that is was shamefully, painfully easy to write.
Of course, that was only a drabble. I don't think I could do more than 1,000 words of it. @_@

What does bother me? As in bother me to not write it at all?
Mpreg. Dude, that's fuckin' nasty! Whoever first started that genre of fanfic should be drawn and quartered, and I'd like to be the one doing the drawing and encouraging the horses.
Scatplay. Um. Nope, couldn't do it. Poo? Seriously? No. UNSEXY!
Infantilization/Diaper-play. Again with the UNSEXY! *gags* No.
Vorephilia. Eating is a very sensuous and sometimes sexy affair, I'll give you that, but eating your partner is taking that too far, mm-kay?

Does that answer most of the question?

Ooh. *stares at the list of shinies* Stop giving me ideas.

TBH, I've had bad relations with my family IRL, so incest isn't a SQUICK, it's a "OMG I SO DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS" sort of thing. ^^;;

...and that sad part is, that's not listing all the fetish-type things that I'm familiar with. I left off plushopilia, tentacles, and mummification, for a few examples.
I really am an over-educated pervert.
Be inspired!

Incest just... *gags* I just can't handle it for some reason. I don't know why.

Tentacles, eh? What're your feelings on tentacles? XD

On one hand, they kind of weird me out.
On the other hand, I have seen all of the La Blue Girl series and quite a bit of other hentai and was not bothered by them at all.

I guess I would go for "morbidly fascinated."

Necrophilia, eh? XD I've seen quite a bit of that. Make it with some obscure characters. GLUTTONY MOURNS OVER LUST'S DEAD BODY!

YOU LISTEN TO E NOMINE. YOU WIN.

What is your favorite thing you've ever written and why?
Least favorite?

I DO listen to E Nomine, and yes, I DO win. XD

Favorite thing ever?
Non-fanfic-wise, I'd have to go with my senior thesis that I wrote in order to escape Northland College. Fifty-seven pages, annotated, over-researched, over-edited, slaved-over, reworked a dozen times, defended against one of the scariest little French women on the planet, and...UNFINISHED. @_@ I busted my ass on that thing, hardcore, only to be told by said scary French woman that fantasy was a genre for children and that, in order to make this work, I either needed to make the story smarter/harder for adults or else simplify it for kids. >.< (I don't think she understands the genre of fantasy here in America at all.)
Still, I pulled a B+ on it...

Of my fanfic, I have to say that "Eclipse" (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lykomancer/21961.html) wins.
I won it in a white hazy a year ago, hitting the keys in a blur and barely knowing what I was punching out. It was late, and finally, I kicked out what I thought was a terrible ending line, posted it in my LJ and went to bed.
I woke up to find my friend and fellow writer's love for it, and I reread it. Wow! I thought. This isn't bad. In fact, it's actually quite good! Elanivalae threw it Sol's way, and that's how I ended up getting archived on Scimitar Smile, which was, at the time, the prime elite fanfiction galleria par excellence, so I was really pleased.

However, what makes "Eclipse" so good is the way it works with the end of the series, Envy's origins, and his relationship to Ed, NONE or which I knew when I wrote it. (It was written around the time episode 25 aired in Japan.) A few people were a little weirded out when I first posted it, because I used Envy in opposition to Ed's gold and light-- commonsense at the time ruled that AL was clearly the other side of Ed, not this weird-ass nonhuman, violent, barely-even-any-screen-time villain.
Y'know, I got one thing to say to that now:
PWNED, children! LMFAO!
I rule!
The end of the series itself wraps into the symbolism I used for the characters I employed, perfectly. It's like I knew or something. ^_^
I like the symbolism so much I've reused some in "The Passion" (http://www.livejournal.com/community/envy_x_ed/22545.html), which is also one of my favorites.

As for what I don't like...
Hm. I don't think most of my drabbles are that great, and I don't like the Envy's softness in "To Thine Own Self" (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lykomancer/52771.html)-- I would like, in some ways, to go back into that and "rough" him up-- reassert his hatred and rage and sadism.
I really detest most of my Roy/Ed stuff... I'm just so not a fan of the pairing, possibly because it is everywhere and had flooded the community from the get-go, and I don't think I hit on anything original with them, not like I can with my Envy/Ed fics. Yeah, I don't care for "Check" (http://www.livejournal.com/users/lykomancer/61258.html) all that much at all...

Least favorite nonfanfic... *laughs* Too many contenders from all my writing assignments in college.

WAIT.
UNIFISHIED WHY?
What was the thesis on?
I don't understand things like that, but then again - I didn't do college yet. XD
...how old are you, anyway?
Just curious. ^^

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH FRENCH PEOPLE!?
That's really irritating. I'd have cried. Then I'd have gone back in there and gone OFF. >_O

Still, I pulled a B+ on it...

Well, that's not too bad, then. ^^

THAT IS REALLY FANTASTIC.
And no hate even. O_o
BRAVO. <3

I woke up to find my friend and fellow writer's love for it, and I reread it. Wow! I thought. This isn't bad. In fact, it's actually quite good!

I've heard EVERYONE wants to get into SS.
Guess what?
Me? I don't care about that sort of thing. Never gonna happen anyway, so I don't stress. I don't write enough for something like that to matter.
BUT IT'S AN AWESOME FIC. <3

However, what makes "Eclipse" so good is the way it works with the end of the series, Envy's origins, and his relationship to Ed, NONE or which I knew when I wrote it.

Then MORE points for you.
The two chapters of Sun, Moon, and Stars I have up were written after seeing episode 3 and looking at fanart LIEKWHOA.
So I was SURE the characterization was off. Everyone assures me otherwise. O_o

(It was written around the time episode 25 aired in Japan.) A few people were a little weirded out when I first posted it, because I used Envy in opposition to Ed's gold and light-- commonsense at the time ruled that AL was clearly the other side of Ed, not this weird-ass nonhuman, violent, barely-even-any-screen-time villain.

I don't think Envy could be something like "the other side of Ed" but I do like what you did with the fic.
I have a REALLY defined sense of what I think, pairing-wise, though, so that's just how I am. XD

[...]
I rule!


XD
YOU DO.

The end of the series itself wraps into the symbolism I used for the characters I employed, perfectly. It's like I knew or something. ^_^

OMG.
I have a huge question about that now, but I WILL NOT ask in journals.
Because it's how I am.
AIM me sometime?
You might find me on the name ShnyShnyShuichi lately...

*will read later*

Again, will read later. <3
But I LIKE YOUR DRABBLES SO THERE. ^^

I really detest most of my Roy/Ed stuff... [...]

I know it's everywhere, but it OWNS ME, as you know.
Although I can't really do anything superoriginal with them either, so I MUCH prefer Roy/Ed/Al because it's NOT Roy/Ed and it's NOT Roy/Al and the dynamic actually changes LIEKWHOA from each pairing to the threesome.
*babbles incessantly*

Least favorite nonfanfic... *laughs* Too many contenders from all my writing assignments in college.

*laugh*
I'd NEVAR take a writing class because I'd hate myself every time I did anything for it.
I also hate writing on demand. XP

WAIT.
UNFINISHED WHY?

...how old are you, anyway?


It's unfinished because I only had a semester to write it, and I realized around the middle of my alloted time that it was simply too huge of a story for me to complete in less that 13 weeks; I was able to turn it in as unfinished (with a five page outline of the ending) due to the good graces of my professors. And then since I stopped having to write on it, I dropped the thing like a rock; I was so tired of looking at it, working on it, editing it, researching for it... I just needed a break.
That was over a year ago. I still haven't picked it back up; I'm afriad to. I'm terrified if I look at it, I'm going to want to completely rewrite it from scratch, and I think of all the fucking work I put into it and...

I'm 24. ^_^ My birthdate is March 6th.

I've heard EVERYONE wants to get into SS.
Me? I don't care about that sort of thing. Never gonna happen anyway, so I don't stress. I don't write enough for something like that to matter.


Actually, I'll tell you that no one's going to be getting on SS. Sol's finally dropping it. I got an email from her a few weeks back about that.

I also hate writing on demand. XP

Sometimes, it's the only way I can force myself to write. If no one's waiting for it, if nothing-- like my grade-- depends on it, then stuff just doesn't get written. *shrugs* All I write on my own, outside of class assignments, is all fanfic, and the only reason I even bother writing that is because I get comments from people and encouragements.
Yeah, I'm a comment whore.
