18. Are there any AUs you'd like to explore but haven't had the chance to yet?

You betcha. There are currently 2 main AUs kicking around in my head that I wanna explore:

The one I want to hash out the most is my default non-Marine AU, where he's a drifter on the Grand Line trying to reach Laugh Tale for the sake of it. Known only as "Lightbrand" Borsalino, he's similar to the man he would've been, but there are certain key differences; for example, he couldn't give less of a shit about justice, no matter how clear or unclear it may be. He'd also have developed his powers in (somewhat of) a different direction, considering there's training marines go through that he wouldn't have had the benefit of here. I'm still trying to get all the details ironed out, but honestly, I just need an AU where Borsalino can interact with pirates outside of fight threads, since most people in the OP rpc are pirate mains.

The other main AU I wanna try out is one where he never ate the Glint Glint fruit but still became an admiral, essentially being a cross between Sanji's kicks and Ussop's snipes in terms of skillset to make up for not being able to move at lightspeed. He'd also have a touch of swordsmanship, but it's not his preferred style. I dunno, it just seems like it'd be interesting to explore a Borsalino that took a more Garp approach to advancement.

19. Do you listen to music whilst writing? If so, what kind of music?

Sometimes. I'm sorry for the non-commital answer, but it really does depend on how I feel on a given day. Sometimes music is just distracting noise that prevents me from thinking, sometimes it is God's own gift to me to provide the inspiration I seek, and sometimes the only things I can think about while listening to music are awesome AMVs and Animatics for my muses that I don't have the ability to make.

As for what kind of music I listen to, uh...a little bit of everything, I guess. There's pretty much no genre (except scream metal) that I've ever bounced right off of; there's at least one song in every style that I like. That being said, the inspirational vibes I get from the Beethoven's Wig albums are gonna be very different from the inspirational vibes I get from Dreams in the Witch House.
