After trying to figure out how to manage my growing pile of WIPs, I've had another look and I think I have something workable to avoid stalling because of having too many choices. The final thing that helped click the decision into place was looking at the initial posting dates of the big four, which I had completely forgotten ( 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 love having music on while I daydream and write, and the two are definitely connected. For example, if I listen to certain music while daydreaming/planning/ ( 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?I've never had a beta, so I don't have any stories to share (and my fic might have some major flaws!). I think the closest I've had is a big bang where I'm pretty sure I got someone to read my fic ( Read more... )

23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?I must have had an ff.net account, back in the mists of time, but I can't even remember what was on it. I started posting fic to my original LJ, and briefly to the personal site I used to have (I didn't want to put the slashfic up on there because ( 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?

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?Posting these together because ( Read more... )

20 - Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?I don't have any major examples where a fic can be traced directly to another person's work as inspiration, but I did start writing Light after reading some Sebastian/Fenris fics on the DA kink meme. Other than that, there's the general patchwork of personal fanon ( Read more... )

18 - Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?I'll start with prompts, because even though they might seem like an obvious answer for ficlets, they have also turned into longer stories (Light/Spectrum and Open Arms both started as prompts, and Sense and Sensibility was from a Regency AU group idea ( Read more... )

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 are whatever feels right at the time. Overall, I don't struggle for too long with them. One that took me a while was Spectrum as the sequel to Light, as I wanted a related word but a lot ( Read more... )

All but my two very earliest fics are now up on AO3. I now have more works in FF8 than in Dragon Age II... however, that is only because I haven't done this exercise with the DA ficlets on tumblr. There is still a fuckton of material there (in terms of quantity, even if they're only three sentence prompts), so I might be more picky in what I upload ( Read more... )
