The start of summer and time for June's Member of the Month, who is relative newbie Dont Think Twice who has been actively reviewing fab fics!

1) Favorite Fanfiction Authors?

All these writers are very talented and I have Soooo many! Currently? Silversundown/ That1VT/ Adina Rose / Ramblinrose / Trogdor19/ ICanStopAnytime / Krissyg927/ Foreverlovingdaryldixon / Shae (I could go on!)

2) Favorite fanfictions in last 12 mos?

Again, there are many! I'm afraid I will have missed some out... Beauty and The Beasts / Region Thirty Three / Infinite Possibilities / Breaking the Ice / Ten Alive / Waltzing's For Dreamers / Bad Seed Rising

3) Favorite fic trope?

Little Dixon family/Anything with Sophia!  I love reading how secure Daryl eventually becomes. I feel, in these stories, we see who Daryl would have been with a 'normal' upbringing. Having a family of his own to care for, heals so many of his wounds. It's also so heartwarming to see Carol shed her past with Ed, Daryl gives her everything that her abusive husband didn't. With him, she's giving Sophia the father she deserved as well as allowing herself happiness. It would have been very interesting on the to see how the three of them would have interacted, if Daryl had indeed found Sophia in S2.

4) What would you like to see more of, or what haven't you seen in a fic that you would like to see?

The Friends to Lovers story - I do enjoy seeing a slow burn, but my preferred bit comes after! I love seeing how they navigate their relationship once they come together, especially if there's been lots of awkwardness. Christmas Day and Daryl, for example. I love to see how he deals with the simple stuff, once the relationship is established.

5) What made you start shipping Caryl?

They seemed to bring out the best in eachother from very early on. I noticed their characters more, when they were around eachother. It's that undeniable chemistry. I felt they just fitted, physically and emotionally.
