14) Your favorite side pairings to put in?
Swanfire is probably the one I work in most often. I ship them 🙂 Snow/Mary Margaret and David are probably a close second. Generally speaking though what side pairings are in a story, kinda depends on what characters are in the story. Given that my stories are Rumbelle-centric, the side characters are generally Bae/Neal, which easily brings in Emma and her family. So that’s kinda why it works out like that.

With some past fics I’ve done for gift exchanges, I had somebody want Ruby and Victor Whale as a pairing, so I did that. I don’t particularly ship it but I did like the convo they had together in season two. There was some common ground there. I really, really ship BraveWarrior. To be honest I want to write fic with them as the main pairing, and I always do a happy dance if I can work it in as a side pairing, or I read it as a side pairing in someone else’s fic.

So yeah basically Swanfire and BraveWarrior are my “other ships” for Once 🙂 However, if the story demands or people want, I’d probably write in almost any pairing for background characters.

18) How old were you when you started writing?
I’m not sure, how do you define writing? I think I started spinning stories almost as soon as I learnt to read, and I was 3 when I started reading. In terms of actual written down stories, it’s hard to remember. I definitely still have some scribbles I did from when I was 8-9, but I think I was probably 11 when I wrote my first complete story. So in the strictest terms I’ve been writing stories for over 15 years. If we’re more generous on what constitutes ‘writing’ then it’s probably closer to two decades. I feel old now.
