[Check in] March

[bluesargently]

Check in #2 of the year! Wow. Hopw you've all been going well and doing some writing.

This update isn't compulsory, but we'd still love to hear from you! So, after last month's getting to know you questions, we'd like to follow on with a few more fic-based questions:

• what was your first femslash paring?
• What's your favourite trope to read/see and/

Omg Neptune/Uranus was definitively up there in my first, too! Along with Sakura/Tomoyo from Card Captor Sakura, and Dorothy/Relena from Gundam Wing (hate-to-friends-to-lovers, wee!). Basically, any interacting women on my TV/books back then. They still all give me strong Feels. :D

I would love to read that Anne Bonny/Mary Reid book, and it sounds perfect for my wifey, too! Any chance you remember the author or title?

My first femslash pairing was Susan Ivanova/Talia Winters from Babylon 5, and I'm still mad about what happened to Talia. They had barely even begun to explore how good they could be for each other, and I would have loved to see them explore Susan's latent telepathy together. One of these days I'll get around to writing a fix-it story for the two of them.

Favorite tropes: it's really tame as tropes go, but I'm a huge sucker for hurt/comfort. Basically I will read and re-read H/C stuff whenever I'm feeling low, for sort of vicarious soothing, I guess.

My fic: working on the March Heroes and Villains fic, hoping to get it done this week. I've decided on the pairing for my Big Bang fic, and have done nothing else on it yet.

I think Hermione/Fleur was the first femslash pairing I properly got into, but I always loved Willow/Tara.

I love all tropes. AUs, creature fic, and friends to lovers are my favourite ones, though.

And I've not started writing yet but I'm on track with my writing calender (mostly xD)

I've got my idea pretty well set, but I'm having trouble getting it started. However, I did complete my very first big bang with slightly over 10,000 words this past month and have been doing great with shorter stories. I even signed up for extra tables and found a comm offering femme slash tables with no word count requirements whatsoever: FemSlash100100, if any one else is interested.

I've also got my March story completed, but the prompt didn't give me more Once material, as I'd thought it would. I actually had a Swan Queen Muse earlier this month but seem to have lost touch with her. But here is Drive, another X-Men Raven/Irene piece with 1,353 words and rated PG-13/T.

My first real femme slash couple was Xena/Gabrielle, as I'm sure is true for most people around my age. There are many other couplings I love, however.

I don't really have a favorite trope, but I prefer to focus more on the love angle than on the sex as most people do. Nothing's wrong with the latter, of course, but I'm just one of those lovey, dovey people. :)

I had to think long and hard to remember my first femslash pairing, but I'm pretty sure it was Arwen/Galadriel. Such a long time ago. Haven't read any LoTR fanfiction since.

Favorite tropes? Too many of 'em. Slytherin/Gryffindor ships, forced relationship, fake relationship, lesbian princesses, academic women, coming to terms with one's sexuality, friendship, dating service, spin the bottle, denial, betting about making someone fall in love, etc.!

I'm doing amazing with my fic! Amazing as in writing every couple of days. That's definitely good for me, as I tend to be a lazy bitch most of the time. Almost done with the first chapter!
