Pen name at ST: ling

Also known as: Linda

When did you start writing C/A fanfic and what drew you to write about the relationship?: I started writing C/A fanfiction post-Tomorrow, after realizing that they had a great dynamic. It didn't occur to me that Cordelia and Angel ought to have been a couple until after I'd realized that I was cheering for their friendship and joyful over chemistry, when over Buffy and Angel I'd only giggled at the snogging. It was a pretty interesting change. I love the sparks that fly between them, and I love their personalities.

Are there any other fandoms/pairings for which you write?: Assorted anime; X-Files

Which style do you enjoy writing the most?: Angst, Drama, occasional Humor

Which C/A story of your own is your personal favourite and why?: Um, so far, I only have two, and of the two, I like "Gathering Dust" most is because it's more fleshed out.

Do you have any writing tips or tricks you would like to share?: Write honestly above all other things, and don't create dialogue simply for the sake of dialogue. To be honest, talking ought to be more decorative than anything else in any situation, unless it's all business. Body language and surroundings are infinitely more important than rambling. The most depressing thing in the world is to find a really great story and realize that people are incredibly out of character.
