Ever Wonder?

Okay, I need a bit of a break from writing, so we're doing something different. A lot of writers have been doing these wonderful little "DVD extra" type commentaries. Um, yeah, I know I'm not that interesting when writing about writing, so I figured I'd do it a little different. If you have a question about any of my stories, why I included certain points or how I write, ask here. I'll give an honest answer.

Your Buffy universe is so intimate at times. You have a real flair for writing the character lines.
1. Did you just jump right in?
2. Do you do a lot of research on the characters?
Thank you!

This is a more general slash author question, but still I would like to hear your thoughts about it. I have often wondered what makes a woman want to write slash? Sorry if you find this a stupid question! *grins* Also how do you write your sex scenes between male characters? As a woman we don't always see sex the same as men do, so I'm wondering

What made you start the Guidelines storyline?

What made you think of doing a crossover of La Femme Nikita and Sentinel.

What possessed you to do your whole fanfic100 challenge around one storyline? Was it drugs? It had to be drugs because that couldn't have been easy.

Is it hard to write Xander and Spike and keeping them in character? Do you find Xander easier to write because most of your stories are written from Xander's POV or are you just writing from Xander's POV because as human beings we relate to Xander more than Spike?

This is an author-aimed question(s) than one for your stories, but I'm just so damn curious.

How long have you been writing from a man's POV? When you wrote your first guy character, did you feel uncomfortable or unsure?

I'm asking as a RP writer, because I have recently been press-ganged into playing several male characters, but I'm finding all but one are slowly morphing into the same person, only with different faces. I don't have this problem with my girl characters, and it confuses me. Did it ever happen to you when you first writing guys?

Hola! Hope I'm not too late to the party. Okay, when you were taking that creative writing class, I noticed that you seemed to be suffering a lot more doubt about your writing ability and your story ideas. At that same time you were writing "Shadows" which eventually turned into a gen piece. My question is, did you intend all along to write a gen piece? Did you feel pressured/influenced by your creative writing teacher to write something of substance, ie. not slash? And do you feel, as some authors of my acquaintance do, that in order to write a serious or a "good" story that it must be gen?
