I found this via queenslayerbee. :)

1) First time you encoutered canon femslash
I want to say Carol and Susan from 'Friends'. I know they were minor characters at best, but that's the first one I remember anyway.

2) First times you encountered femslash shipping
When I was 13 and got into Sailor Moon fanfiction.

3) Is femslash the main part of your fandom life?
Not so much. I came into fandom as a slash shipper and I have a lot of het ships too. Of course I have a bunch of f/f ships as well and I do run a femslash exchange (rarefemslashexchange) so it's definitely a part of it. But I've not written or read as much as I would like to.

Here's an interview meme that I snagged from impala_chick.

1 - Leave a comment, saying you want to be interviewed.
2 - I will respond; I'll ask you five questions.
3 - You'll update your journal with my five questions, and your five answers.
4 - You'll include this explanation.
5 - You'll ask other people five questions when they want to be interviewed!

Here's what she asked me:

1. If money was not an issue, where would you go on vacation?
I'd love to take a two month trip touring a few countries in Europe. My top destinations are Italy, France, Spain, and Switzerland (Italy is #1 on my travel bucket list). I say that like I wouldn't get homesick in about 3 weeks but I can pretend I'm a true adventurer!

2. How do you feel about fanvids? Do you seek them out? Is there a fanvid in particular you really like?
They're awesome and I'm in awe of people who can make them! There are so many songs that I have associated with my ships and clips I've played in my head, but I don't have the work ethic to go through with actually learning how to make them. I used to watch a lot more in the past and I haven't really done that anytime recently so I can't really pick one. I'm definitely forever nostalgic about the Clark/Oliver one that an LJ friend made me for my birthday using my #1 song for them at the time ("Everything" by Michael Buble) and I was too dumb to save it and it's gone.

3. What's one (physical or personality) trait you think you inherited from one of your parents?
My mom and I have the same/similar skin tone and hair though I look more like a mix of her mom and my dad. Personality wise, I've definitely inherited some of my strengths and weaknesses from my dad - my sister has made a lot of jokes about how we both have a tendency to keep things in and are bad about asking for help.

4. If you could have just one super power, which one would you choose?
Teleportation. It would make traveling easier and I could drop off baked goods to whoever I want! My priorities are solid. :D

5. What's your favorite smell/scent/fragrance?
A mix of vanilla and sandalwood. I used to have this awesome bodyspray that Victoria's Secret made before they discontinued it ages ago.

I snagged this from senmut:

Is there a canon, character, or relationship you would be willing to see me analyze/dissect/ramble about? Leave it in comments if so.

I'm snagging this from senmut and queenslayerbee.

FemFebrurary:
Send me a fandom (my profile has some of my listed fandoms) + a female character + (optional) an specficic topic about her, and I'll write meta about her in February!

I snagged this from dolorosa_12.

Rules: go through your last 5 fics and share the first and last line. No context.

So not including the unrevealed fics I have for exchanges:

the right time

First Line: "Rory, I need a favor."
Last Line: And Rory knew they would get it right.

no more running

First Line: Fifteen years after Rory first kissed Jess, she kissed him again.
Last Line: This time, she wasn't going anywhere.

his favorite subject

First Line: "What are you drawing?"
Last Line: Later.

no tricks, just treats

First Line: It just so happened that Bucky was around when Sarah realized that she had to work on Halloween night.
Last Line: It sounded pretty good to Sam too.

a happy halloween

First Line: "Diana! I'm home!"
Last Line: Diana was looking forward to it.

I snagged this from senmut:

rules: give us the links to your fics with the most hits, most kudos, most comments, most bookmarks, most words, and least words.

Most Hits: The Right Girl (Gilmore Girls, Rory/Jess, G, 2843w)
post-series; Rory runs into Jess at Luke's.
Hits: 6059
My first Rory/Jess fic! It was the only one too for the longest time.

Most Kudos: the best fit (Gilmore Girls, Paris/Rory, Teen, 10279w)
To avoid being set up, Rory blurts out that she's dating Paris. The only problem is that she definitely isn't, and now the whole town thinks she is.
Kudos: 384
I was pleasantly surprised that it got such a kind response, since I definitely had my doubts.

Most Comments & Most Bookmarks: Never Say Goodbye (Smallville, Clark/Oliver, Teen, 60630w)
That night at the penthouse was not the first time Clark met Oliver Queen. He has met him before but he just doesn’t remember where or when. But as the memories return, Clark finds out that his fateful summer in Metropolis is not as long gone as he thought it was.
Comments: 76
Bookmarks: 62 (including private)
This was an earlier fic that I originally wrote and completed on LJ/FFN and then crossposted later. Thinking back, it did get some nice feedback on both sites, if I remember correctly, which was surprising since they were/are such a rare pair and there's just a lot of straight up episode rehash in this fic (s6 era), dialogue and all.

Most Words: Sober (Smallville, Clark/Oliver, Mature, 71973w)
sequel to “Forever May Not Be Long Enough”. Three years after the story ended, Oliver and Clark meet up again. One of them is engaged and the other is trying to make his mark in the world. Now working together in the Justice League, what will happen?
Oh, the sequel to one of my least favorite fics. Slightly better than the original but the bar is low. I guess a lot of us have at least one of those lol I still may not be the best writer, but at least I can say I've improved.

Least Words: a second chance (to keep him safe) (MCU, Steve/Peggy, G, 200w)
A moment between Peggy and Steve after he goes back.
I do struggle with anything short, and I admire anyone who can. At least seasonsofdrabbles gives me some good practice and I like having an excuse to write Steve/Peggy.

I snagged this from kissapentu.

I snagged it from brokenhighways. Original list of 40 questions is from 1_million_words here.

1. Describe your comfort zone—a typical you-fic.
Something pretty light and fluffy, with mild angst. Usually very relationship focused, romantic in the spotlight but making sure to highlight some friendships as well. When I began writing, I used to be a lot more melodramatic, in the style of soap operas and older Bollywood movies. There's less crying these days and I *try* to make them act like the adults they usually are, though I won't hesitate to still lean into some communication issues. :D
