LJ age: This one will turn nine in a few days, but I had one before, so... Ten? Yeah, must be ten. OMG XD.
What is your Creativity Goal this year: Procrastinate less, haha. Definitely procrastinate less. And I think I'm going for 80k words or something? GOOD THAT I CANNOT EVEN REMEMBER ON DAY TEN XD.
What is your goal this year beyond that: Make LOTS of progress with my singing (I study voice, so it's important :D) and have the time of my life with my bestie when I visit her in the States in summer! <33333
Where in the world are you: Vienna and Innsbruck, Austria
Current Fandom(s): Harry Potter, A Song Of Ice And Fire, Addams Family 1964, The Mummy Returns, James Bond (Craig movies), Memoirs Of A Geisha... And Cracks and Rebecca (Daphne du Maurier), too, but those are not super intense currently.
Earlier/old Fandom(s): Gilmore Girls, Charmed
Do you Original fic? I tried to once... It didn't end well lol.
Favorite comm(s):
Gen, Het, or Slash: Het, Femmeslash and Gen!
Languages you write in: English (it's been pretty much exactly five years since I switched from writing in my native language German to English and I never went back! So technically I could say English and German both despite it only being English these days? xD)
Favourite 'go to' movie(s) and why: Oh God, too many.WAY TOO MANY. Memoirs Of A Geisha because it's beautiful and gorgoeus and inspiring. The Mummy Returns because it gives me such a bunch of feels that I get into the perfect mood to write and to just dwell in lots of feels! Casino Royale and the other Craig Bonds for the same reason! And of course, all the Harry Potters because they're just the best <333.
Favourite movie/TV show genre(s): Drama and Period Movies/Shows!
What inspires you? Everythign can inspire me, really. But it's a lot of opera and theatre - I do often go to the opera/the theatr ein general and oH GOD I GET SO MANY IDEAS FOR MY FICS. And certain music in general, certain poems, movies... I get quite easily inspired - and of course it mostly happens when I have NO opportunity to write at all and not when I desperately require to :P
What type of creative project(s) do you find you can do easily: Write in a hurry and/or hurried panic. Generally, writing seems to be going faster and faster the more I do it! Oh, and graphics. I'm pretty good with graphics (except icons which I HATE), actually! AND FAAAAANMIXES. They always take me ages and huge effort, but I love fanmixing so much.
What type of creative project(s) would you like to get better at: Drawing, perhaps? I cannot draw to save my life and I am in awe of everyone who is good at it! It will never happen probably, but detail xD. AND OH MY GOD, FINDING TITLES AND SUMMARIES FOR MY FICS. WORST. THING. EVER. And perhaps being less intimidated by writing new fandoms and characters, because my first fics take me CENTURIES.
Coffee, Pepsi, tea, Coke, water, juice, vodka: TEA, JUICE AND WATER <3.
Tell us about your Pet(s): I don't have any unfortunately :((
Do your friends/family encourage you to create? Yes! They certainly do! :D I've had my mum beta some of my
less angsty messed-upfics when I still wrote them in German, and she always totally encourages me to write.Name a song that always makes you cry like a baby: Braille - Regina Spektor (and Lady. And Samson.)
How's your memory: Awesome! I can remember lots of things even if they happened or were told to me ages ago... But then I totaly forget what I had for dinner or just wanted to say two minutes ago lol.
Walk, jog, bicycle, car: Public transport and walk! (And car if I'm with my parents xD.)
I don't think that word means what you think it means: OMG, there are a few words that I ALWAYS typo but of course I cannot think of any right now... And of course I do have my certain (probably hilarious) ESL moments too :P

I think it's awesome your mum is so encouraging! I think it's very cool that she did some beta-reading for you. ;-)

Haha I write super angsty stuff so I gave her the less-effed-up things (even though due to being a theatre/culture/music journalist she's used to opera too, so she takes a lot of drama and angst :D) but it was super cool! She totally let me hide under a rock for days in a row too when I had to finish fics lol. She still does that when I'm home :D
