4. Which has the most “you” in it, however you’d define that?

Desert Flowers, holy shit. Long Nietzsche quotes, Loki’s Jewish coding, Thor and Loki getting high and talking about philosophy… plus an incestuous kiss disguised as a move in an argument.

11. If I’m showing off just one of your pieces to someone, which one should it be?

Kinda depends on the person and their interests. If a Thorki shipper, probably The Tree of Knowledge (hopefully as a lead-in to the rest of the series…); if not… Prince of Darkness has been the little fic that could. It keeps getting random kudos months after I posted it. And maybe someone who likes it could be persuaded to read Abyss (and not be put off by the first-person narration, which apparently everyone has decided they hate).

16. 3 favorite comments ever received on fanfic.

@incredifishface left the nicest long, gushy, frequently all-caps comments with a lot of quotations on the first two installments in my Thorki series, “Desert Flowers” and “The Tree of Knowledge.” I am still extremely proud that one of my favorite fanfictional stylists said of my fic, “Style-wise, not one word out of place” 😛

I also appreciated all the long, thoughtful comments @seidrade left on my fics, which led to some very enjoyable back-and-forth about philosophy and character analysis and ultimately to them joining Tumblr. In the words of the charmingly annoying little sister from The Philadelphia Story: “I did it, I did it all.”

Thank you so much for asking! And here’s the question meme again in case anyone else wants to play.
