8. Is what you like to write the same as what you like to read?
I think so. I started writing fanfic because there was a Skyrim story in my head that I wanted to read, but because it didn't exist, I had to write it. My favorite novels are mostly historical fiction, and while my Skyrim fanfic isn't exactly historic, I've taken ideas from authors like James Clavell and Larry McMurtry. I also enjoy classic works like The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton and The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, and while I don't go out of my way to write in the style of a hundred years ago, I pick up words or phrases that I think help make my characters sound less modern when they talk.
