30 Days of Fanfic - Days 8 & 9

[kapuahi]

Day 8: Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they're not Mary Sues, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs.

I tend not to write OC's and if I do they're always the victim and don't have much of a speaking role in the fic anyway. If I'm writing fanfic I prefer to keep the characters to people that the reader will know.

Day 9: Pairings: For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favourite pairings to write?

I'm a bit odd, since I've started sharing fanfic my scope has changed. I started without a set OTP in fandoms, I'd jump from fandom to fandom, from pairing to pairing, but I've narrowed my focus with each fandom I've landed in
