2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project.

I'm not sure I ever "look forward" to writing! It would be more accurate to say that I look forward to having written. Still, one thing I would like to do this year is finish a series of Arrowverse stories that I started a couple of years ago.

Most fic writers who tackle the story of Leonard Snart's childhood depict it as almost entirely negative, particularly his relationship with his father. However, if he were routinely thrashed within an inch of his life with untended broken bones, not to mention being chronically half starved, then there is no way he could possibly have grown up to look like Wentworth Miller. That Lewis Snart was a dysfunctional father—a career criminal who taught his young son to assist him in his thieving—is canon; but that doesn't necessarily mean that he was a hundred per cent a bad dad in other respects. At least, not when his son was a child. Why would Leonard be so stricken when he finally kills his father if there were not more going on underneath, way back when, long before the events of "A Family of Rogues"?

Anyway, I wrote the first three installments for the Worldbuilding Exchange in 2019; and fearbuddies helped me write two more installments last summer. I would like to get the story finished: probably another three parts.

Whether it's rightly a series is another matter. On AO3 it is posted as such; but that's because each part was completed separately. However, if I'd been able to get down to it betimes, I'd have done them as chapters. I've not posted the completed stories on my website yet: I want to finish the lot. I've done their webpage, though; and, yes, they're all on one page. There's also an index page; but the presentation is chaptered. I'm quite pleased with the layout and graphics, and rather looking forward to the day when I can unveil them.
