Name: Helen
LJ age: This account, 9 years this year. I used to have another account though.
What is your Creativity Goal this year: To get my two ongoing series finished.
What is your goal this year beyond that: To survive the rumoured merge with my crazy exjob at work and come out with my sense of humour intact. Long story.
Where in the world are you: Middle of Nowhere, England
Current Fandom(s): The Vampire Diaries, The Originals, Once Upon a Time, Pretty Little Liars, The Flash, Arrow, iZombie, Game of Thrones, Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Gotham, Teen Wolf, Scream, Orphan Black, Heroes Reborn, How to Get Away with Murder, Doctor Who
Earlier/old Fandom(s): Fringe, Lost, Revenge, Buffy, Harper's Island, Being Human UK
Do you Original fic? Used to, never posted anywhere
Favorite comm(s): Here of course ;)
Gen, Het, or Slash: I will write all three
Languages you write in: English
Favourite 'go to' movie(s) and why: Any of Harry Potter
Favourite movie/TV show genre(s): Drama
What inspires you? It can be anything from canon to song lyrics. Sometimes, ideas will occur to me during a chat. It can be anything.
What type of creative project(s) do you find you can do easily: It can be easier the more familiar I am with a fandom.
What type of creative project(s) would you like to get better at: I would like to feel more confident writing series and would like not to get the jitters about new fandoms.
Coffee, Pepsi, tea, Coke, water, juice, vodka: I am not human without my morning coffee.
Tell us about your Pet(s): I don't have any unless you count Fred and Ginger, the stressbuster stuffed cats who sit on my desk at work. Fred bursts out laughing when you squeeze his stomach (so he's good at getting rid of junk calls) and Ginger is broken but used to nod her head and wag her tail.
Do your friends/family encourage you to create? One person in particular (he knows who he is) encourages me a lot. My family don't know I write. If you know anything about my family, you will know why. They're the kind of people who would come across a slash extract and mock it at every opportunity, probably still bringing it up in 20 years time.
Name a song that always makes you cry like a baby: I don't have a great history with Can't Fight the Moonlight, Summer of 69, Mustang Sally or Lola. All to do with a horrible ex and his drama causing friends, but it was a long time ago now.
How's your memory: Very good.
Walk, jog, bicycle, car: I usually walk everywhere
I don't think that word means what you think it means: Can't think of a specific example right now
And lastly, anything else you want to say, or finish with a gif that sums you up:
Sometimes when I first arrive in a fandom people don't know what to make of me because rather than focus on an OTP, I love to write about the characters fandom forgets. Ever wondered about some piece of obscure Other backstory from Lost? I probably wrote it.
