30-day Fanfic Writing Meme - Day 3
Day 3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Hmm...well, this might go a little easier than yesterday. But some of the fandoms I've written for might have only one story, so it'd be hard to pick a favorite character I write if I've only ever really written about one. So I'll either mention that, or I'll mention characters that I'd like to write about in the future.
Day 1 - How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?
Day 2 - Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
Day 3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Day 4 - Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?
Day 5 -If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?
Day 6 - When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
Day 7 - Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
Day 8 - Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they're not Mary Sues, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs.
Day 9 - Pairings - For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
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?
Day 11 - Genre - do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?
Day 12 - Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
Day 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?
Day 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?
Day 15 - Warnings - What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a fic?
Day 16 - Summaries - Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
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?
Day 18 - Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?
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?
Day 20 -Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
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?
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?
Day 23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
Day 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?
Day 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?
Day 26 - What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a fic?
Day 27 - Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
Day 28 - Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?

Hmm...well, this might go a little easier than yesterday. But some of the fandoms I've written for might have only one story, so it'd be hard to pick a favorite character I write if I've only ever really written about one. So I'll either mention that, or I'll mention characters that I'd like to write about in the future.
- Avatar: The Last Airbender - I've only ever really written about Zuko and Katara, so...yeah, them. ^^;
- Beauty and the Beast - of the few things I've written for this, I seemed to write about Beast a lot.
- Codename: Kids Next Door - Numbuh 1/Nigel Uno and Numbuh 5/Abigail Lincoln.
- Disney and Disney/Pixar - Hmm...well, my favorite things I've written were about Grumpy and the Great Prince in Bambi. So I'll say them.
- Dragonball Z - Trunks and Chichi.
- Fairy Tail - heh, everything I've written has been about Loke and Lucy, so...
- Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends - I mostly wrote about Wilt, though one of the stories I wrote was about Wilt and Frankie, so I'll say them.
- Harvest Moon - Vaughn and Chelsea in Island of Happiness, though I would love to start writing about the Wizard in Animal March.
- Justice League - No one really, I only every wrote one story that I never finished.
- Kingdom Hearts - of the few things I did write about in this fandom, they were all focused around Max...which is funny, because Max isn't even in the games.
- Kung Fu Panda - I've only ever written one story, but I would love to write about Crane, Shifu, and Mr. Ping.
- Loonatics: Unleashed - Tech and Danger Duck.
- Phineas and Ferb - I haven't written much in this, but I might like to write a little more about Isabella.
- Pokemon - Grovyle and Chatot (yes) in PMD.
- Princess and the Frog - Naveen and Eudora.
- Pucca - I haven't really written enough of this to pick a favorite.
- Road Rovers - Exile and Blitz.
- Sailor Moon - Well, I've only ever really written crossovers for this, and both kind of centered around Minako for the Sailor Moon aspect of it. But I guess I might have to say Minako and Usagi.
- Sonic the Hedgehog - Amy Rose, Tails, and Sonic.
- Sorcerer Hunters - Marron and Tira.
- Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! - Antauri, Chiro, and Sprx.
- Super Mario - Luigi, Daisy, and Mario.
- Super Smash Bros. - Well, I've only written two stories for this. But I did like writing about Luigi in it...
- SWAT Kats - Not really a lot to go on...but I really love Jake/Razor and Chance/T-Bone.
- Tales of Symphonia - Zelos.
- Tangled - Flynn/Eugene and Rapunzel.
- Teen Titans - the two things I wrote about centered around Robin and Starfire.
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - I only have one fic, and it's about Donatello, so...
- Toy Story - Woody, mostly, though I did like this one drabble I wrote about Bullseye.
- Wild Kratts - There's only one story, but I'd like to try writing a little more about the Kratt Brothers.
- X-Men: Evolution - Well, I wrote a story about Scott that I never finished...but a lot of the ideas I've had recently were mostly about Kitty and Logan.
- Xiaolin Showdown - I wrote two stories, one about Raimundo and the other about Omi. But even the one about Raimundo had Omi as a prominent figure...
- Yu-Gi-Oh! - Ryou Bakura mostly...though...I do have to admit, I once wrote a songfic about Seto Kaiba that I kind of liked...
- Yu Yu Hakusho - Kurama and Botan, but I'm working on a story about Touya and Koto that I really want to finish someday. And maybe even work a little on the ideas I had about Kuwabara.
