Hey *waves* thanks for the ask! 🙂

Are any of your characters based on real people?
No. Now if the question was “are any of your characters inspired or influenced by other characters”? Then yeah absolutely! I’m not talking about the fact that it’s fanfic and therefore based on characters either. Take Between Two Fires for instance – hello Jack and Irina from Alias. The Price We Pay morphed into something else eventually but I had Mia from The Princess Diaries in mind originally. Still rumbelle of course but there’s scenarios and facets from others in there too.

What’s a pairing (romantic or platonic) that you initially didn’t consider, but someone changed your mind?
Erm wow this ones hard. Exposure to pairings have made me love them more but I don’t know if I’ve ever changed my mind completely. My opinions usually just get reinforced. That isn’t always the case with everything. Tumblr has persuaded me to give entire shows a second look (Farscape being a case in point) but I don’t think that’s happened with pairings.

Sorry I guess I’m too stubborn /shrug
