Question one

karri_kln1671 asked if I prefer boxers or briefs on a guy. Not something I've really pondered, although whenever I've had to have Sheppard in his underwear in a fic, it's always been boxers. Briefs... I don't know, there's just something about them I don't like, can't explain why and, honestly, don't really care to understand why. It just is what it is. 

Question Two

sandpiper764 asked if I prefer writing fantasy or sci-fi.

Though I do love Sci-fi, I really prefer writing fantasy. Fantasy, I feel, offers limitless ideas and unique situtations. Sword and sorcery, urban fantasy... I love it all. But what I love best is being able to come up with my own worlds, creatures, and rules governing magic. It's a challenge I never tire of tackling.

Sci-fi... I don't know. There have been few sci-fi stories I've been happy with (about three or four in all). Which is funny, because when I first decided I wanted to be a writer, it was sci-fi I was leaning toward. Well, sci-fi and young adult thrillers. I didn't really get into reading fantasy until highschool, when a friend introduced me to Piers Anthony (although I've long since fallen away from reading his books.) The thing is, though I didn't start reading fantasy until highschool, I was always into it. I loved dragons, unicorns and pegasus, and was addicted to the Hobbit cartoon and the movies Legend and Dragonslayer. I also felt Star Wars more of a fantasy than sci-fi, despite all the tech (if you think about it, SW really is a traditional fantasy in Sci-fi clothing). Why it took me forever to get into fantasy books, I have no idea. But once I did, I was in heaven.

Question Three

sholio wanted to know what I consdiered to be my first fandom, and if I'm still fannish about it.

That's a bit of a toss-up between CSI: New York, Andromeda Ascendant and Earth: Final Conflic.

My first fanfiction was CSI:NY, though I never extended my dive into the fandom from there (communities, forums, etc.) I've written quite a few fics for CSI:NY, but have since drifted away from writing anymore. I still adore the show to pieces - it and SGA are my addiction shows - and it's not that I lost the motivation to write CSI stuff. I just haven't been able to come up with any ideas I like. I am, after all, a fantasy/sci-fi writer, and there's only so many concepts I can use for a crime-drama before I start repeating ideas, which is kind of what ended up happening. SGA, being sci-fi as well as a show where AU can - most of the time - be considered canon, ideas are pretty much limitless, and the only stumbling block is motivation.

The Andromeda fandom I wasn't heavily into like I am with SGA. Of course, back then, I didn't know the term "fandom" existed. I did hang out at Andromeda's main page a lot, as well as hunted for spoilers and - when I got into fanfic - stories. But I only ever wrote two stories for it, both unfinished (with no idea if I'll ever finish them). I'd gotten into writing for the Andromeda fandom during the shows last season, and when it went off the air, I sort of lost my motivation to write for it *winces*.

Earth: Final Conflict, though I never wrote any stories for it, I was quite obsessed with it. I was always snooping for spoilers. However, fandom-wise my fandom-involvement still couldn't compare to my involvement in SGA. Again, it all took place before I even knew what fandom was.

Both EFC and Andromeda are shows I still love and would watch over and over again if I could, but can't find them on DVD! (I may have to break down and buy them off Amazon. Oi.)
