How did you choose your alias?
-Nickname from work. Let me tell you, a company car after driving a 9 year old Prism is a glorious thing. A V.P saw me driving into the parking ramp, singing my lungs out. He started calling me Miss Opera. And thus, a fanfic star was born.
What fandoms do you write for?
- Wrestling. Firefly/Serenity.
What fics are you currently working on?
-Crows (in beta, considering a re-write of one scene)
-Burgundy (gift fic)
-Nom (so far, only one keeper sentence)
What fandom did you start in?
- Technically, pop music. But Wrestling is where I met organized fandom.
What is your deepest darkest fic-writing secret?
- I don't get this question. Is it supposed to be personal, like on hot days I sometime write in nothing but a thong and tank? Or is it supposed to be about my stories? I want to find the story-scenario around the gorgeous mental picture I have of Jericho getting it doggy-style while wearing a neckband, corset and ballerina slippers--constriction fetish is where it's at, my sisters.
Do you have any quirks/habits in your writing?
- I like playing a few hands of spider solitaire before starting to write. Helps my brain get into Let's get this pile of words organized logically-mode
Do you have any fanfiction pet peeves?
- Many. McFic.Virgin-fic in which the character isn't so much a virgin as a clueless idiot. And why can't the virgin ever top? Errors in the first sentence-- I try to be lenient on mechanics because I make so many, but dude! The first sentence needs to be immaculate. Bland stories-- these are characters I adore. Don't turn them into cardboard. Cliches. Matt being referred to as the elder Hardy-- esp. if Jeff isn't around. Stories that are 9/10th 1st POV Protagonist whining about the all the wrongs ex-boyfriend has done him/her but I still loved you anyway, and the final 1/10th is spent having the healing love with new Previously Unmentioned Top. Seems clingy, lame and low-self-esteemy to me.
Do you have an OTP?
- Cole/Tazz.
If you could get someone to write a fic for you right now, who would it be?
- I'd probably pick someone from outside the fandom. It would be interesting to see how an "outsider" would handle wrestle-characters. Otherwise, whoever is willing to write me some NON-schmoopy Taker/Matt-- I ain't picky at this point.
