15-30 for the fic asks :)

baegginoakenshield:

15. What makes you pick up a fic, what makes it sound
interesting?

Summaries are really important because I need to be able to
know what the fic is about! A good tagging system is also helpful.  So many things will draw me in; if its a really
different AU, a troupe I’m in love with, or an author that I adore!

16. Name a fic that made you cry (or that made you come
close).

Wow, SO MANY! I cry semi-easily. The one that most recently
made me cry would be An Ode
to Broken Things
 by Wizards_Pupil

17. Name a fic that made you laugh a lot.

This question was surprisingly difficult, because I think a
lot of fics have so many funny elements? Especially bagginshield where Bilbo is
super snarky and Thorin is just a major dork!
