Would you ever write a survival / wilderness fic? It doesn’t have to be shippy. Maybe there was an accident and the main character or characters are forced to power through and survive. Maybe the character is running away from a marriage. Who knows. But they get lost and shit hits the fan. One could argue that The Dragon’s Keep counts but I’m thinking less supernatural creatures, more fear of the unknown.

Potentially.  

If it’s a fic that’s just one or two characters against nature I probably could but I tend to find those kinds of stories a little boring. It’s like camping except nature is trying to kill you, like the gods intended. So there’s a good angst factor, but I don’t know if I could maintain that for very long without getting bored myself. Maybe a one-shot or short fic but probably not something that stretches beyond three chapters or so. With stuff like this I’m always more interested in what’s required of the characters not just to survive, but to understand the person they’re trapped with.
