1 - Your current OTP
As of right now, it's Moriarty/Athelney Jones from Anthony Horowitz's Moriarty.

2 - A pairing you initially didn’t consider but someone changed your mind
Christopher Foyle/Rex Talbot.

3 - A pairing you have never liked and probably never will
Reylo.  God, the fans are fucking terrible.

4 - A pairing you wish you liked but just can’t
Dick Grayson/Jason Todd.

5 - Have you added anything stupid/cracky/hilarious to your fandom, if so, what

Bruce stared as the young man bent over to tie up the Joker.

“Ass….”

The young man turned around.  “What?”

Bruce stared into his masked face.  “Um… I… wanted to ask you, um.”

Also, my fic The Art of the Deal is easily the most ridiculous thing I've written.
 

6 - What’s the longest you’ve ever been in a fandom
I've been in and out of the Batfandom for years, since I was a kid, really.

7 - Do you remember your first OTP, if so who was in it

Honestly, probably Holmes/Watson.  I was obsessed with Sherlock Holmes as a kid, and my favorite movie at the time was Without a Clue.

8 - Do you prefer characters from real action series or anime series

Animated/anime, I guess?  I don't do very much shipping from fandoms with real people in them.

9 - Has the internet caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why

Bro, I took one look at the Star Wars fandom and noped the hell out of there.  But for a while, I fell out of the Batfandom because it got really hostile.

10 - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr

Actually, Batfandom.  I found it all over again when I joined Tumblr in 2012/13.

11 - How do you feel about the other people in your current fandom

I try not to interact with people in the Batfandom, because it's either young people arguing that Batman/Robin is pedophilia, or sanctimonious older fans picking on younger fans.  I'm too old for all that shit.

12 - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for

FAT EARTH-MOTHER POISON IVY, OH BOY!!!

13 - Your favorite fanart or fanartist

I don't play favorites.  (St00pz)

14 - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor

Again, I don't really have favorites.  (Stitch)

15 - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of

Well, I've got my music on, and right now it's Hold My Hand by The Rutles, which just makes me think of a '60s Bruce/Dick.

16 - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas)

Trucking AU:  The dock worker and the customer service rep at a trucking company find that their lunches and breaks correspond and oh no, now I caught feelings.

17 - A ship you’ve abandoned and why

I don't know that I've abandoned any ships.  I had done for Bruce/Dick for a time because of Tumblr drama and bullshit, but I came back.

18 - A pairing you ship that you don’t think anyone else ships

I honestly thought nobody else shipped Moriarty/Athelney Jones until I found two (2) fics for them.

God, rarepairs are a bitch.

19 - Show us an example of your personal headcanon

I don't even know.  Um...trans Kaiba makes the most sense, because what trans guy do you know who hasn't wanted to create an elaborate death-based theme park to destroy his enemies?  I mean, I know I have, hahaha...ha.....

20 - Do you remember what your first fanwork was?

It was a CardCaptor Sakura fic with Touya and Yuki where Yuki wakes up at 3am wanting pancakes.  Every now and then, it still gets notes, lmao.

21 - Self-rec: What's your favorite fanwork you've created?

I love all my children equally.

22 - Are you one of those fans who can’t watch anything without shipping

I'd say no, but I do find if characters have good chemistry, I automatically start shipping them.  But I don't go in deep with most things.

23 - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms

I don't have five fandoms.
OK.  I can do this.
Batman:  Dick Grayson
Sherlock Holmes--ACD:  Sherlock
Foyle's War:  Rex Talbot
Moriarty:  Athelney Jones
Yu-Gi-Oh!:  Seto Kaiba

24 - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms

Batman:  Bruce/Dick
Yu-Gi-Oh!:  Seto Kaiba/Katsuya Jounouchi
Foyle's War:  Andrew Foyle/Rex Talbot

25 - A fandom you’re in but have no ships from

I don't think I'm in any fandoms without pairings.  >.>

26 - Just ramble about something fan-related, go go go
OH god I have so many thoughts about the book Moriarty that I want to share, but nobody's fucking read itttttttt.  I have thoughts about how to change the ending, because it killed me, and yet, it's so perfect as it is, and uuuuuuuuuuugh.
