Cannon has its nasty hooks in me because, unfortunately, as a relative newcomer to Roswell the magic of season one and the general angst and plot hole-i-ness that followed have me intrigued. There are so many possibilities, and I'm constantly scrounging to find fics that answer those possibilities realistically.
Are you into CC or UC? Tell me your favorite couple.
Max and Liz >>>>>> all, of course.


Do you like crossovers and slash fics?
Eh, here's the thing: in theory I have no problem with crossovers. However, as stated above, I have serious reservations with reading anything but M/L, only occasionally stepping aside for Polar (and that is very rarely). And since almost all crossovers seem to pair Liz with someone from the other show, crossovers and I don't seem to get along too well generally. A few weeks ago I stumbled across a wonderful author who might be even more of a UC whore than myself and read some truly great, very emotionally focused femmeslash, both Tess/Liz and Isabel/Liz. It really hit me hard, and for some reason I've been contemplating both pairings ever since.
If you have a rating preference, what is it?
Generally I love reading Mature, because it seems to me that the writers who use that rating are very much focused on the themes that go along with mature; nothing that's gonna get too intense, but hopefully something that serves up a meaty storyline chock full of angst or, at the very least, depth.
What was the first fic you read, the author, where it was located, the rating, the couple, and what did you think of it?
The first fic I ever read was something in the One Tree Hill fandom, and it was an awful, predicatably Mary Sue about some girl who fell in love with Lucas but had cancer and died, blah blah, blah blah blah... my first Roswell fic was Soaring With Angels, on this board, and I believe that it was by RoswellOracle. It was M/L, and my limited knowledge of the rating system didn't clue me in that there was going to be scads of smut. Boy was I in for a surprise!

Do you write fanfiction or just read it? If you write, please tell me some fics you've written so I can go read them; if you don't write, try it! No one's mean here, so you have nothing to worry about. It's fun and you can get writing pointers. How do you think I learned?
I'm in the process of writing my very first Roswell fic, Trick of the Light. It's in the alien abyss and it's been rather slow going because I'm just awful and blocked like that, but I'm in love with writing it. I put a one-shot in for the fall Avante Gard challenge at Roswell Heaven called The Protector, and although it deserved much more energy than I had to give it I was actually rather pleased with the results.
Who's your favorite character and why?
Pfft, that's almost too easy. Grandma Claudia, hands down. Nah, I actually love all the characters, and with the exception of Isabel and Tess, I really relate to all the mains. But the minor characters of this series are the ones that I find endear themselves to me - Courtney, Laurie DuPree, Ava, Jesse Ramirez, and River Dog to name a few. I don't understand it, except maybe they all seem to be rather sympathetic, but they're not so involving that they become completely cannon. This is especially nice when writing them.
What's your favorite quote from a fic?
Ahhh! I have no idea. Reading this question makes me remember bowling over laughing at things I've read in so many different fics, but I can't for the life of me remember one right now.
What's your favorite fic and why?
I'm going to say Pilgrim Souls by EmilyluvsRoswell. Yeah, she killed off Isabel. But the return was so sweet and rewarding. Plus the writing is just plain ethereal at times. It's everything I loved about Revelations but angstier.
How long have you been reading fanfiction on this site and how often do you come?
Since last spring, I think. How often I come depends on what's going on in RL and other fandoms - I was hardly here at all during August when we were in the middle of a move to the other end of the East Coast and I was churning out a 25,000 word story for the Degrassi fandom. Now I'm on every day, scavenging hungrily for new fics to feed my obsession.
