Snagged from keiliss, ilye_elf and others.

Ask me a question about one of my fics or series. It can be absolutely anything in any project and I will tell you the honest-to-goodness answer (even on the progress/plans for next chapters of current series).

Don’t hold back. Whatever you ask, I’ll answer as truthfully and as completely as possible. You can also ask about my writing as a whole, if you like.

If you had supreme confidence and no doubts at all, a perfect idea and the words were flowing, what story would you tell us?

Three things:

1. If I didn't mind being laughed out of fandom, I would write a AU story about Galadriel having an early, illicit affair with Manwe, and a secret love child, Glorfindel. It all goes pear-shaped, she crosses the ice and Glorfindel grows up, watches the future events unfold, and the family issues, the identity question and consequences/tensions. I don't know where the idea came from, but I like it. I think people would think it is utterly ridiculous and not inline with canon and stupid, though, so - not likely to ever be written.

2. I would finish my story idea for Muse's Anatomy, my elven medical soap opera. But the ideal of trying to write hospital/healthcare related details, plus a story that has so many threads and is so large, intimidates the hell out of me.

3. I would write a Glorfindel/Gil-galad, meeting in Valinor for the first time, and getting to know each other, and eventually falling in love, interspersed with memories from their previous lives, a good look at Valinor's politics, how they spend their time in Valinor and their respective families and friends. But I have no confidence in writing Gil, at all. I love him, but I've seen him written so well, between you and Kei, that I feel my poor attempts don't do him justice.
