33) What’s the biggest compliment you’ve gotten? I can’t specify a single comment, but the biggest kind of comment are those when a reader not only enjoy my writing but also tell me what it is they liked and it turns out they have really got what I wanted to say with the fic.
49) Can you remember the first fic you read? What was it about? Very vividly! In 1999 I was a member of an email group dedicated to Dorothy L. Dayers. We were a talkative bunch, and eventually, we had to create a sub-group for all the unrelated things we liked to talk about. One of our members was writing a fanfic which she ran by us before posting it on ff.net. It was steh the first time I heard the term fanfic, and it was so well-written and interesting I for the longest time expected fanfiction to be good.
It was a Harry Potter-fic where the main character was a witch a few years older than Harry. She was blind and “saw” through the eyes of her owl. She falls in love with Snape, who, and this was long before it was revealed he was a double spy, turns out the be a double spy. I enjoyed it a lot, though now, 20 years later, I can’t recall the name of it anymore.
but will you do this Gösta Berling reading group?
And yes, I will. I got a bit back-tracked by being ill, but I hope to get the first post up withing this week.
