16) What are your writing strengths? Blimey, that's the horrible interview question isn't it... You tell me! *g*
Character voice, maybe.
but to be honest it's been so long since I read most of my others that I can barely remember how much I like them or otherwise!
Or even remember their titles, some of the time. I'm still amused by the memory of people discussing in a chat whether there was a fic called Happiness is a Warm Gun, and you not remembering that there definitely was and that you had written it. I realize I should not laugh until I have written more than 103 fics over sixteen years, but I do it anyway.
Although I've just realised that A03 has divided my Pros fics into two - one group with the name of our fandom as it was, and the other with the name that Istia updated it to. How does that work? I assumed that if someone updated the name it would automatically update everyone's fics... if not, gargh, what a pain... And anyone doing a search by fandom would miss loads...
Regarding this, if you mean the fics with the fandom label "The Professionals" versus those with the newer fandom label "The Professionals (TV 1977)", there is no need to worry. It's true that works posted before the change still have the old label, but both types of fic show up in searches. See this page, for instance, where both labels appear together. (You can also try clicking on each fandom label and see that you reach the same page listing, the same number of fics.)
Oh well done - that's exactly what I hadn't checked yet, and it's very good to know. So the search algorhythm at least takes both labels into account, even if it leaves our dashboard lists a bit more cumbersome - phew!
Good point! Yes, now that I think of it I'd seen several labels. I've got "The Professionals (TV 1977)" faved and I just go there, but there are more labels popping up under that list. There's also something like "Pros-fandom" somewhere, but if you click on it you get the same 3352 results as with the others.
It works, but it shouldn't. The contradiction is making my inner librarian uncomfortable XD
Character voice, maybe. Oh I hope so! I always hope that my lads sound like the lads! *g*
whether there was a fic called Happiness is a Warm Gun, and you not remembering that there definitely was and that you had written it Ha!! I'd forgotten all about that! *vbg* Yes, totally a case in point! I remember thinking it sounded familiar...!!!
According to my other lists I have something like 200 fics (including drabbles though). I really really must get some more up on AO3...! (Also, following on from a previous conversation - see me making more effort to use the O rather than the 0, even though I think it looks so much uglier... *g*)
