Favorite (fanfiction) author(s): Um, gosh. Angel of Harmony, Shimmerwings, Poison Ivory, Misprint, Mondie, Second Batgirl, Arlene2, Hilby...just to name a few. ;)

Favorite genre to read? To write? Uh, let's face it...Light-hearted humor with plenty of dialogue, and a fair amount of slash.

Recommend us one of your stories... (link, if you can!) Oh, gosh. This is a toughie. But I'll go with the epic-and-unfinished (but close to the end!) How I Spent My Summer Vacation: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1332047/1/

Fanfic pet peeve: Only one?! How about two... The technical one is improperly punctuated dialogue. It makes me CRAZY when people get that wrong! Less technically...still hard to narrow it down...when characters are vastly out-of-character and it's supposed to be funny. Sorry, but sugar highs and yelling random quotes/in-jokes isn't comedy, it's just irritating.

RP? Not so much, no. (Once upon a time I did in an LJ RPG...also named Donnelly, oddly...but that was a long time ago.)

Are you excited about NewsieChallenge? Well, duh. I'm super busy, though, so I don't know how much writing I'll be able to do from it...but I'm excited to see what everyone else comes up with! ;)

Any other comments: Just my usual plug: Fanfic101: A Guide to NOT writing terrible fanfiction. Technical information about punctuation and grammar and whatnot; stylistic information about POV and tenses and all that good stuff.
