Gacked from 
poisontaster (who gacked from others) for the Meme part.
What is your alias?
HalfshellVenus
Why did you choose it?
Other people have painted me with this alter-ego for years. It's the hair, which was much longer at one time. The color and type are similar to the Botticelli Venus in my icon.
What fandoms do you write for?
Like you don't know. Prison Break and Supernatural. Occasionally other things on a drabble challenge or a crossover, apparently.
What fandom did you start in?
I started reading Kirk/Spock slash way back in the early 90's. Progressed through some other Star Trek slash, and of course the Mulder/Krycek detour.montmorency broke the brothercest barrier with her Hector/Paris works (based on the movie "Troy"), and this is where the trouble started. ;) The first fanfic I wrote was for Prison Break, though-- beginning last September.
What is your deepest, darkest fic-writing secret?
Ummmm. ?? Writing brothercest isn't a secret if everyone knows it. Many know the other "secrets"-- I'm not a fan of any kind of domination/submission sex, and "Het" tends to squick me out unless it's from the female perspective (so I typically don't read or write it. No issues with other people doing either/both, though). Not a fan of "multiple-groupings" either.
Do you have any quirks/habits in your writing?
*Sigh* How many times did I use ellipses (...) or dashes already in this meme? But I choose them for the pace and flow of my stories-- basically, whatever punctuation or breaking/combining of sentences makes that work. I'm also a grammar fiend, and tend to use a whopping vocabulary, which is not always friendly to my readers who don't have English as their first language. *Sorry* I love words. I love their flavors, and the subtle distinctions between their meanings. I chose the words I use carefully, and I'll admit that I hate repetition (so you may find multiple alternatives for the same word/theme running through my stories). My style tends to be rather poetic, probably because of the word-love and pace/flow-love. Some find that soothing/rich/image-laden. Others probably feel like they're slogging through mud. ETA, I can't believe I forgot these: alliteration and echoing of similar words toward a unifying theme.
Do you have any fanfiction pet peeves?
Yes. *LOL* Out-of-character writing. "Illiterate" writing (poor grammar, tense confusion, spelling mistakes, what-have-you). Mary Sues in all their forms (including when a real character in the fandom is used as a Mary Sue). And I have to admit, using phrases/words that are wrong for the fandom (i.e., overwhelmingly this is Briticisms used in writing fanfiction for American shows such as X-Files or House or Prison Break or Supernatural) throws me right out of the piece and mood as I'm reading. It spoils the story for me-- it breaks the characterization and the flow apart completely. Basically, my suspension of disbelief crashes and burns right there. God, I'm such a crank.
Do you have any fanfiction loves? (I added this one)
I am quite the sucker for a good humorFic. CrackFic (if it's funny) really gets to me too. And "Language Porn" (beautiful uses of language that appeals to the mind, eyes and ears) is a favorite as well.
Do you have an OTP?
Yes-- two. Lincoln/Michael for Prison Break and Sam/Dean for Supernatural. Like this is news to anyone. ;)
If you could get someone to write a fic for you right now, what would it be?
:D So many to choose from. Okay, I wantwinterlive to write that thing we talked about 5-6 months ago that I'm not allowed to mention (it's J-squared). I want la_folle_allure to write some more Supernatural Gen (*cough* Remember those partial fics you cruelly dangled over a month ago?). I want quincykat to write more of her 
fanfic100 Prison Break Gen Stuff. Anything-- please! When poisontaster and maygra write stuff, it's all good for me-- except I have a backlog of Maygra's multi-part works (I need a ficlet or two-- short! Plz?). I need Prison Break kid!Fic from
