do you respond to comments? I try really hard to reply to everyone, there was a while I didn't because a nice mix of depression and hatred of my own writing lmao.

what's the fic you've written with the angstiest ending? I'm normally a Happy Endings Only type of gal so the closest you can get to the angstiest is My Empire of Dirt. Sirius has cancer and the ending is pretty ambiguous. I know what is meant to happen afterwards.

what's the fic you've written with the happiest ending? They're all happy! I think La Valse à Mille Temps makes me the happiest, but you have to read A Kiss Won't Make Goodbye to get the peak happiness.

do you write crossovers? No

have you ever received hate on a fic? Yep. A few times.

do you write smut? Sure do.

have you ever had a fic stolen? Not that I know of?

have you ever had a fic translated? I don't think so.

have you ever co-written a fic before? Lmao a very large chunk of my word count is with @jennandblitz

what's a wip that you want to finish but don't think you ever will? I was writing a fic about chefs, but I don't think I'll ever get back to it.

what are your writing strengths? No clue honestly lmao.

what are your writing weaknesses? Showing not telling.

what are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? If it makes sense that's cool.

what's a fandom/ship you haven't written for yet but want to? Not sure. Maybe a Fralice fic.

what's your favourite fic you've written? Ummmmm I'm going to exclude all of Rock n Pole even though that's my favorite universe because it's like a comfort write at this point lmao. But out of fics I've written alone, I think my current fic might rate up there which is Tracks In The Snow. But out of none WIPS, He Wasn't There Again Today or My Empire of Dirt.

Again, I cannot tell the story of The Front Pages of World War II without an introduction to Denny Boyd. Denny wrote the foreward to the book, and though he was only 9 years old when WWII broke out (Robert Reid was just 12), he can certainly knew the front lines of the front pages, having worked 30 years at the Vancouver Sun.

Sadly Denny passed away from cancer in 2006 at age 76. There are numerous tributes and obituaries for him posted online; here’s one from Shelley Fralic, and another from Jenny Lee and Doug Ward. This synopsis from the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame gives a good overview:

Denny Boyd was delivered to the world in 1930 in Anyox, BC. shortly after his mother was delivered to the hospital in a family friend’s garbage truck. Twenty-one years later, he was writing sports for the Victoria Times.

Denny loved telling that story among what seemed a million others.

Stories were what he lived for, and no one had a better eye or ear for finding them and putting them into words. During his years at the Times, he covered it all: junior hockey, high school sports, and all the local leagues.

His work at the Times led to a career at the Vancouver Sun from 1957-72 and again from 1977 through 1999, first in sports, then in an entertainment/saloon column that became a “must-read” across the province.

With four books, a five-year stint as radio commentator, the Bruce Hutchison Lifetime Achievement Award in 1997 and the Order of BC in 2005, you have a life lived to the hilt by a man who lived for words, and made them sing.

Not all was roses; the newspaper business can be hard on your health, and like many of the war veterans before him, Denny battled the stress with both alcohol and cigarettes. But he faced his demons through his writing, and perhaps it’s best to let his own words speak for him. Pulling a few quotes from the obituary by Jenny Lee and Doug Ward, Denny wrote in his autobiography:

Despite my efforts to screw it up, I've had a hell of a good life, more pure fun than anyone should expect from a career that kicks back a cheque every two weeks and pays the dentist bills and lets you decide every morning, on your own, what particular kind of widget you are going to invent that day.

And about his version of heaven, he wrote:

I will write one column a week for the Heavenly Herald – if I feel like it.
