1. Your Favorite Character: Oh gods this is too hard. I love Flint, but then there’s Thomas and I’ve now written… ten fics the point of which is basically that he’s not dead, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. And then there’s Miranda. And Max. Can I have four? Four faves?
2. Which Character Do You Not Like? Alfred. No contest, hands down, I loathe him with a very special kind of loathing that I reserve for characters that are truly irredeemable. Haaaaaaaate.
3. Flint vs. Silver: Flint. Hands down, no questions asked, Flint. Silver can take care of himself whereas Flint needs a blanket, a cup of hot tea, and someone to take over for a while and handle things.
4. Anne Bonny vs. Eleanor: This is like asking me to choose a favorite child. Anne is Anne, and Anne is precious and perfect (if also, you know, a tad stabby), but Eleanor has gone through so much, and she’s trying so hard to keep everyone on her island safe, and someone needs to have her back for once, but then Anne needs the same. Both? Both is good.
5. Eleanor vs. Max: Again – gah, how the hell do I choose? Max is perfect. Max’s wardrobe is perfect. Max is so intelligent it takes my breath away sometimes, and she’s been through so much and she still cares so hard about people. Max. It has to be. Eleanor can look after herself, which is not to say she should have to.
6. Anne Bonny vs. Max: Anne, because if it were a choice between her and Anne, Max would say the same.
7. Favorite TV show? How long did you watch? Why?: Black Sails, which I’ve just found this past year, but which I love with every bit of my soul, because it’s so incredibly well written. The characters are so complicated and flawed and just so realistic
including the female characters which I never ever get outside this show, and the plot is so intricate and lovingly written and the sets are amazing and the wardrobe is A+++, and dear gods the symbolism of everything…. I could gush for years but I’ve already got like 100+ pages of gushing on my blog so…. yeah. Black Sails all the way. Nothing else measures up.
8. What is your favorite ship? Why do you like them? Flint/Hamiltons, no contest. They were so happy together and so good for each other, and they deserved so much better. I mean – it’s only the foundation of the whole show, and I want to write about a bajillion fics where Miranda and Thomas both survive and get to be with James again. Jack/Anne/Max is a close second, though, for similar reasons. They’re just so good together!
Tagging @gedsparrowhawk, @reluming, @shirogiku, @whatifimacrowdeddesert, and @flintstille. Oh, and @flinthamilton.
