Pick numbers and I'll answer as best I can:

1. What are some writing tics that persist in your work but that you dislike?

2. What does your id want? Do you ever give in?

3. You have to erase one of your fics from existence forever. Which one and why?

4. How much do you trust the reader?

5. Have you ever written anything you would’ve backclicked if it’d been written by anyone else?

6. What’s your guilty pleasure as a writer?

7. Be honest: are you mean to your faves, or do you go easy on them?

8. What parts of writing a fic do you think are a chore?

9. Are there any unintentional trends in your writing?

10. Have you ever intentionally written a character as OOC to fit with a kink/prompt/story idea?

SHIELD dress for D*C Superheroes Ball

Do I need to buy a ticket for this? Need to check this up, haven't had a chance...

The brief:

Agent of SHIELD dress: halterneck, close-fitting bodice with waistband and flared skirt to be worn with petticoats. Black/dark-grey silk with gunmetal/silver overdress/lace edging, and embroidered/beaded/appliqued SHIELD logo to either be on skirt or else as a back cutout (underarm zipper), with HYDRA-themed underskirt.

Alas, no time to make a cosplay for Maria in A:AoU, although I found a few dress patterns, I haven't been able to find the sequences where she's in a dress online (the one with the 'he's fast and she's weird' exchange seems to be a shirt-blouse over a pencil skirt).
