30 Days Of Fan Fiction: Day 15
15 - What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a fic?
Violence, non-con, torture, animal or child cruelty and other potentially triggery things should be warned for; I tell people up front that there's domestic violence in Blood, Sweat, and Fears even though it contains my usually happy (at that point) ending.
The oddest thing I've warned for is probably religious beliefs in Through the Gate: "the certainty that no matter what your beliefs are, this will contradict them".
Rest of the questions
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 fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
18 - Where do you get the most inspiration or ideas for your fics?
19 - When you have plot 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 ideas from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
21 - Have you ever written a sequel to a fic you wrote, and if so, why? If not, how do you feel about sequels?
22 - Have you ever participated in a fest, ficathon, or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favourite 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 - 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?
25 - 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?
26 - What is the oddest (or most fun) thing you've had to research for a fic?
27 - Where is your favourite 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 fic?
29 - What is your current project or projects?
30 - Do you have a favourite fic you've written? What makes it your favourite? And don't forget to give us a link!
