leave you when the summer comes along
I missed a day, so I guess I'll do two again today:
30 days of fanfic meme:
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
Day 6
Day 7
Day 8
Day 9 - Pairings - For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
SPN: Dean/various ladies, Sam/Dean, Sam/Jess
Firefly: Mal/River, Mal/Kaylee, River/Kaylee
HP: Remus/Sirius, James/Lily, Harry/Ron/Hermione
XMM: Logan/Rogue, Scott/Rogue
Dark Angel: Max/Alec
DCU: Dick/Jason, Tim/Kon
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?
There are lots of pairings I like but have never had an idea for, so I don't write them. I've written pairings I don't really care for (Sirius/Harry, Snape/Lupin, Mal/Inara) because I had an idea I wanted to work out, but I don't generally go outside my comfort zone - I write fanfic because I want more of the characters and pairings I love. While I sometimes write about characters I dislike in an attempt to get to know them better/maybe like them a little more, I don't really feel a need to write stories about pairings i dislike. Why would I want to make writing even more difficult?
I mean, I've done it when necessary for Remix, and I once got assigned to write Mal/River/Simon and I am actually squicked by Mal/Simon so that was a challenge, but I managed it.
11 - Genre - do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?
12 - Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
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?
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?
15 - Warnings - What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a story?
16 - Summaries - Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
17 - Titles - Are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the story? Also, if you do chaptered story, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
18 - Where do you get the most inspiration for your stories (aka "bunnies") from?
19 - When you have bunnies ideas, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?
20 - Do you ever get bunnied inspired from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
21 - Sequels - Have you ever written a sequel to a story 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?
23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
24 - Betaing - How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your story? Do you have a Beta horror story or dream story?
25 - Music - Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your story? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?
26 - What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a story?
27 - Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
28 - Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your story?
29 - What is your current project or projects?
30 - Do you have a favorite story you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!

It's raining here, but I guess the winds won't start showing up until later, so I'm just planning on napping and reading. This is an interesting article about how they shut down the mass transit system in NYC.

I posted a story the other night:
Visiting Hours
DCU; Jason, Alfred; pg; 755 words
In which Jason has a visitor while he's in Arkham.
Alfred visits Jason and brings him a gift. I still feel like canon has cheated me out of Jason-Alfred interaction since Jason's been back, and I'm not sure I believe Jason picking up Pride and Prejudice on his own, so. That happened.
