Fanfic Meme Day 16 - Day 22
Day 16 - Summaries - Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
Hate them. I honestly have pretty much rejected the practice all together. Summaries indicate that your fic has plot, right? Haha.
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?
Titles often come really naturally to me. Often stolen from song lyrics but also often not. But it's like the girl with a curl, when they're good, they're very very good. When they're bad, they're terrible.
Day 18 - Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?
Sometimes there are threads of things that happen in canon that inspire, but often it's songs, or fan art, or prompts, or other fan works, but usually it's just my own twisted thoughts that come from nowhere.
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?
It just depends. I probably should write them down. But usually I don't. I usually just think about it and then eventually get back to it. Unless I have the time and the drive immediately and then I'll just start writing.
Day 20 -Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
Oh sure!
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?
I've written continuations in certain "'verses". My original Claire/Jack/Sawyer being a notable one. I came back to that one over and over. But they were all intended as one-shots that could be read alone or taken as a whole. I'm not sure how well I pulled that off though. Sequels can be good, but living up to what you've written before can be daunting.
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?
I am signed up for the Vampire Diaries one now. It's my very first! *crosses fingers*
