Ask me anything

[marguerite_26]

Hello, dolls.

Am having a shitty morning and looking for bit of eljay distraction. I did this ages ago, but let's try it again.

Ask me anything and I will answer.

standard disclaimer on how there are some things I will not answer but I'll give most reasonable questions a go

(I've just got a standard friends filter on this, btw)

The octopus in your LJ header only seems to have six legs. Does that make it a sextopus?

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

The other two legs are busy occupying someone else.

Er, someplace else.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

ahahaha!!!!!!

Yes. Yes, it is.

And the sextopus's name is Squishy.
*loves*

(A question I ask myself all the time - even though I'm over 40) What do you want to be when you grow up?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Hmm... you know, that's an interesting question. What I would love, 10 yrs from now or so... when then kids are older and more independent, is to be able to work from home and have a successful business of sorts that I really love and can be proud of. Whether that has to do with writing or web design or something that let's me do something I love and get paid for it while working my own hours and still giving my kids priority.

Ha! not asking much, am I?
;)

Great question, ann! ♥

[lotus-lizzy.livejournal.com]

I always blank at these things, mostly because I think of questions like: If your life was a garden, what would it look like....or If you were a tree what kind of tree would you be. You can tell I work for one of those happy feel good companies.

But, I do have an actual question...will I see you at Bry's get together this summer?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

um, if I were a garden it would a bit of mess, a weird sort of mixture of wild flowers and cultivated ones, a few cacti and over grown ferns. LOL.

my tree would sway fairly easily and go bright red when angry fall comes. :P

And YES!!! BRY'S!!!! I'm sooooo there. It might just be me driving down for an afternoon and not overnight, but I will do everything I can to be there. *twirls*

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

Could you do my homework for me write me porn let me have your tentacle babies

If you could be the main character in any (plotty) fanfiction you have ever read or writtten, who would you be and why?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

thinking...

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

still thinking...

[vaysh11.livejournal.com]

*pets*

What could I possibly ask you?

Ah!

I know!!!!!!!!!

Are you going to write for the hd_fan_fair?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

YES! I don't have any HD on my to do list until then and I am DIEING to get back to writing HD. I'll be very anxious to see those prompts coming in.

Will you? (only if you get your DBB done? *snicker*)

[ella-bane.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you're having a crappy morning. :(

Hmm, what story are you most proud of that you've written?

What is your ideal H/D fic? What is your idea M/A fic?

I KNOW I ASKED THREE QUESTIONS.

[ella-bane.livejournal.com]

Also, I read your conv. with vaysh11 above. Is the hd_fan_fair open to all?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

my morning is much better now!!! :DDD

got UR pm. YAY! :D

I think I am most proud of Savage because I'm typically a 5-10k writer. It's a length I'm comfortable with. I'm a character writer not a plot writer, so that length bodes well for a mini-character journey. But Savage was plotty and almost 20k. It was a whole different animal (pun intended) that I didn't think I would be able to pull off successfully. So, yes. Savage. *preens*

Ideal fics??? That's hard because do you mean something I've found or something I'm always looking for? A bit of a bulletproof kink type thing, like I LOVE jealous!Arthur seeing Merlin for the first time as something more than just his dorky friend.

That type of 'ideal' HD is harder because I'm so deep in HD love that I find it hard to think of one above the other. Like I LOVE a funny, romantic, plotty fic like Faith's Draco Malfoy's Lucky day. Or an epic plotty, universe building fic like Rom's Double Edge Sword, But I also love angsty omg!ihateyou! fics like Bry's tree in winter (or whatever that one what called. LOL)

ack! did I answer your question???

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

You might have answered this in some other context I missed, but -- what's your opinion of Ron Weasley and his levels of sexiness and appeal? If you pair him with anyone, who do you pair him with?

Disclosure: I'm kind of a big Ron fan, but I won't be fussed if you say you don't dig him, truly! Just don't, you know, rant on and on about how horrible and hateful he is. ;_;

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I think Ron can be sexy, in the right author's hands. Like for example if he is forced into sex with Draco and Pansy and turns the tables on them and makes them hot as hell and begging for more? yeah, Ron totally works for me in that hypothetical scenario. ♥

I like the odd Harry/Ron. They can make for great humour, but I rarely seek them out.

:D

[rickey-a.livejournal.com]

read any good porn lately?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I have indeed! :D Even some in HP fandom. want a rec? :P

Femme's AS/S here is fab.

Why are Americans so very odd when it comes to politics?

[rickey-a.livejournal.com]

You think a Canadian knows the answer to this?

[lokifan]

Your favourite and least favourite H/D fic cliches?

Your favourite food?

Does it bother you that I've added question marks to phrases that are not technically questions?

You write plenty of different pairings, but which do you like best - enemy slash, a la H/D, or friends-turned-lovers, a la A/M?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

favourite cliche? - hate sex ♥

least fav cliche? - Harry loves Draco because Draco looks so much like a girl anyway.

favourite food? French fries. nnnnngh. cannot live without french fries.

No, it does not? :D

oh! enemy slash, a la H/D, or friends-turned-lovers, a la A/M?
WOW. What a great question. I've never thought about how different they are in that sense before, because, yes they are completely different genres aren't they? I like the enemy slash of H/D. That is just made of win and never gets old. With A/M, it's not that I like it because of the 'friends-turned-lovers' so much as the dynamic between them. The dorky teasing, the power imbalance, the secrets and of course the EPICNESS of their love.

It think HD gives a lot more play, in some ways. But I love that A/M is undeniable and so... um, can I use epic again? because there is not enough fonts out there to express how EPIC I think there relationship is (whether that's just friendship/partnership or ill fated lovers or ride into the sunset HEA)

lol. did I answer you question? :D

edited to fix epic typos

[bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com]

Are we still playing?

Umm..... what's the one fic you wish you could write? You know, that awesome bunny that you don't think you have the chops to pull off or maybe it's a Merlin thing and you don't quite have your voice down enough yet to go for it? Or maybe it's something so epic and huge that you know you'll never actually finish it so you don't bother starting?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

yes! still playing. (I should be um... figuring out what to make for dinner, but meh! I'll do that later!)

I know exactly what you mean about that fic I wish I could write. There are a few. Well, you know me. I look at plot ideas and think - wow, that would be great but I start approximating word count and I'm like... I cannot write that. :/

I won't give you one answer, but several. For merlin, for sure. I don't have the feel of it yet. The characters, yes. But not the universe or the language. So there's a few EPIC Merlin's inside of me the want to get out and at least a few 5-10ks that will likely get out some day. I would really love to write an Arthur thinks there is something going on with Merlin/Morgana (set in S1) and Morgana plays with Arthur's jealousy to tease him and Merlin is stuck where Arthur doesn't believe a word he says and Arthur keeps getting more and more jealous until there is epic wall sex.

um... yeah. I will write that someday. hee!

But for HD - you know my Admin Series cross over? - I wish I had made that one more and longer and gotten out everything that was in my head for it. It just felt to huge at the time. But yeah, that'll always be that fic I never wrote. :D

ok - can I ask you the same question? Is that fair? you don't need to tell me, but I would love to know. :D

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I can has question...

Well, two actually.

1.). Why have you never written Snape fic?

2.). Am I the only one that encourages your coffee habit?

♥

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

1) Snape just has never inspired me to write him. I find him very intimidating to write.

2) YES!!! *grabs UR coffee*

[stellamoon.livejournal.com]

I realize you've already made it through your difficult morning, but I will ask you a question anyway.

Name one, and only one place you want to be sure and get a chance to see/visit before you die.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

I did! :D

For a long time it was Rome, but then I went. LOL.

So now, I guess... I'd love to make it to Australia. But I honestly have no idea if I'll ever manage it. It'll be a long time before I can seriously contemplate something like that. Though, England would be lovely to see. And a much quicker plane ride. *snickers*

[snegurochka_lee]

1.) What is it about Scorpius/Rose that appeals to you so much?

2.) Why is Draco's favourite position doggy style rather than on his back?

3.) If you could only take three inanimate objects to a desert island (assuming of course that your family gets to go with you; this is a very nice desert island), what would they be? (ie: things for yourself. "Toys for the kids" or "a pot" don't count).

:D

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

1) Scorp/Rose has magical properities. If I write it, really good porn gets emailed to me.

2) Because then Charlie can lick the dragon that's tattooed along Draco's spine.

3) er. ok. The thought of being on a desert island with my children is nightmare inducing, so I'm going to pretend you didn't include that.
If I were alone:

I would want a solar powered e-reader full, full, full of fics. (wot? is that totally cheating?) ha! one book my ass. But if I did have to pick a book, it would be pride and prejudice. :D

I would want something to write with, so a notebook and a pen (or a dozen of each)

third? I suppose hygiene would be nice. Maybe a toothbrush. :D

[melusinahp.livejournal.com]

Why are you so awesome?

Um, what is Draco's favourite flavour of ice cream?

Scorpius is a daddy's boy or a rebel who tries to be the exact opposite of his father?

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

ha! ♥

Draco's favourite ice creams is Straciatella. LOL. Sorry - food smut love. *g*

Scorpius is who I want him to be at the moment. Which is why I love him so much. At this very moment, he's drunk and frustrated and in the shower with Harry and how he relates to his own father is very very far from his mind. :D
