[30 Days] Day 2
Day 2 - Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
Let's stick to the basics. If you want to read my whole list of anime then you may want to take a look at my fanfiction.net profile. It's full of fun stories that go waaaay back to my beginnings in fanfiction. I'll gladly give you a rundown of my favorite fandoms. :)
Cardcaptor Sakura- I will never EVER get tired of stating my love for CLAMP's magical girl. I've loved CCS for everything that it stood for: love, goodness and eternal hope. It definitely provided plenty of opportunities to explore the human capacity for misery and ecstasy. Just one look into the heaps of fanfiction shows how it stands the test of time. Not to mention that it produced some of the best crop of writers I've ever met. I've written plenty of stories for CCS featuring my favorite couples like EriolxTomoyo, SakuraxSyaoran, YamazakixChiharu and even the odd EriolxSakura/ TouyaxTomoyo. It's amazing how many plots you can generate in a single afternoon or with a long list of prompts. I can guarantee that you'll fall in love.
Naruto- Thanks to my favorite authors who moved on to this epic ninja manga, I followed them. I wrote many, MANY love stories for Naruto and Hinata. Although I am confident that they are canon, they still deserve some of the best stories I've ever read. Reading fanfiction for the Naruto fandom requires lots of patience and lots of irony. You can't go far without seeing crap. If you find something really GOOD, read it. That's what happened to me. I'm just damn glad that my stories helped the fandom and set some kind of standard.
Code Geass- Yes. I am guilty! I loved CG because of Lelouch! Lelouch vi Britannia with his booming voice, hammy antics and purple eyes! I loved writing about him and his multiple fictional love affairs. He's just begging for it. I also love how far my imagination can go with the millions of possibilities surrounding such a large cast of characters and a complicated story/history. Yes. I don't need to mention that my stories involved so many moments. I'll still go and write for it again if I had the chance.
Death Note- I developed a taste for smart men hence my affinity for strong heroes. Here's another fandom that I didn't finish but I loved til death. (Pardon the pun.) L and Misa just screams FANFIC! And it's full of crossover possibilities.
Ouran High School Host Club- I wrote one whole novel that has 36 chapters. I should think that I would go back to write for it.
xxxHolic- If you haven't read this, look for it. Read it. I doubt that you'll blame me for going back to it again and again.
Fullmetal Alchemist- As long as there's Edward Elric and Winry Rockbell then there's fanfiction for me. :)
Day 1 - How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?
Day 2 - Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
Day 3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Day 4 - Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?
Day 5 -If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?
Day 6 - When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
Day 7 - Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
Day 8 - Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they're not Mary Sues, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs.
Day 9 - Pairings - For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
Day 10 - Pairings - Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't write, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?
Day 11 - Genre - do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?
Day 12 - Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
Day 13 - Do you prefer canon or fanon when you write? Has writing fanfic for a fandom changed the way you see some or even all of the original source material?
Day 14 - Ratings - how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?
Day 15 - Warnings - What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a fic?
Day 16 - Summaries - Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
Day 17 - Titles - Are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
Day 18 - Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?
Day 19 - When you have bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?
Day 20 -Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
Day 21 - Sequels - Have you ever written a sequel to a fic you wrote, and if so, why, and if not, how do you feel about sequels?
Day 22 - Have you ever participated in a fest or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favorite experience in relation to one. If not, are there any you've thought about doing? And if not, why not?
Day 23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
Day 24 - Betaing - How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your fic? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?
Day 25 - Music - Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your fic? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?
Day 26 - What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a fic?
Day 27 - Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
Day 28 - Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?
Day 29 - What is your current project or projects?
Day 30 - Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!
