30 - Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!...No, I don't. I mean, the ones that are the longest, or took up the most time, kind of Stockholmed me into loving them enough to feel like the time and effort were worth it, and I have certainly written a lot of stories I love, but ( Read more... )

29 - What is your current project or projects?

There are, hm, let's say five. I feel like sharing today, so some of the teasers are in the 300-500 word range.

Awaiting final beta and fixing and a smidge more writing, there's the Vorkosigan/Doctor Who crossover sequel to Signals That Sound in the Dark.

( In which Aral Vorkosigan meets Amy Pond )

28 - Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?

Well, I participated in a big bang this year, which resulted in awesome art for my story, but I'm not sure that that ever felt like collaborating? Mainly because I generally imagine collaborating has to do with giving up ( Read more... )

27 - Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?

Most of my writing is done sitting on my couch. Occasionally I move to my desk, when it's not hugely piled with stuff, or to the kitchen table, and occasionally I manage to take my laptop to bed and don't completely lose momentum and read fic until I fall ( Read more... )

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?I listen to music constantly, except when I'm at work (libraries are just so restrictive). Can't put the car into drive until my iPod is hooked up; iTunes is the ( Read more... )

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?

It depends on the story. For short things I usually manage to limit myself to one. Usually. Missing Persons went through at least nine, over the course of three years, and I would have been ( Read more... )

23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?I post first to my Dreamwidth (with automatic crosspost to LiveJournal unless the fic is too long to fit into a single LJ post, in which case automatic crosspost is turned off ( Read more... )

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?

Fest - as narrowly defined - no. I tend to find fests confusing and overwhelming, so I steer clear ( Read more... )

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?Short answer: Yep! Because there was another story that I thought I would like to write that followed from the first one ( Read more... )
