What is your alias?
Janne

How did you choose it?
First initial plus middle name

What fandoms do you write for?
SGA, dS (when the Fraser and Kowalski muses can fight past the John/Rodney ones... so not so much at the mo)

What fics are you currently working on?
SGA Regency romance AU, SGA thing where John is a girl (yes, I do like a good bandwagon to jump on) and I just got an idea for another one but I so don't have time (sigh)

What fandom did you start in?
Highlander

What is your deepest darkest fic-writing secret?
I once wrote a Buffy fic where I totally character assassinated Buffy and had Xander and Angel get together via much bad exposition. I also have a tendency to write totally cliched badfic in my head - though so far I have avoided actually writing any of it down!

Do you have any quirks/habits in your writing?
Hmm. Not really sure - I suck at self-analysis. Does rimming count as a habit? Or have I not done that in enough fics yet?

Do you have any fanfiction pet peeves?
Improper use of the word discrete. It does NOT mean the same as discreet and it drives me up the wall.

The "you'll all be sorry when I'm dead" school of fic where everyone (or just their lover sometimes) is gratuitously beastly and unfair to one character and then something really horrible happens/they do something amazing and everyone realises how wrong they were and persecuted!person is obviously the cleverest/wonderfullest/most misunderstood person ever and they're all very sorry... etc. etc. Yawn.

Do you have an OTP?
Generally, no. But I do have OT Characters: John Sheppard, Ray Kowalski, Spike, Snape... ooh wait, I do. The only pairing I'm remotely interested in for PotC is Jack/Norrington.

If you could get someone to write a fic for you right now, who would it be?
torakowalski, because this is a good prodding opportunity!

you get someone to write a fic for you right now, what would it be?
And she could write me girl!John *evil grin*. Or, wait a mo - whatever happened to that hooker!fic you kept complaining about? I'd like that please!

*ears prick up* Is that Buffy fic posted anywhere? (I once wrote Andrew/OMC which will never, ever see the light of day)

Lalala, I can't hear you! (The hooker!fic is in my WIPs folder, but the girlJohn fic is still on my desktop, so that's a good sign...)

PS If you want to make rimming a fic-habit, I for one will never complain :)

Thankfully, the buffy thing was written well before I even owned a computer. It exists in summary in pencil somewhere - I probably still have it, I'm not very good at throwing things away!

Andrew, huh? I like Andrew. And I'm impressed you have a WIPs folder. That's very organised. I don't have enough to justify a folder!

Oh, I just remembered - did you see the post from aspacer on what they would like to see in SGA fanfic and one of the things was a Once More with Feeling crossover? Can you think of any plot with SGA that would fit with the types of songs?
