Another day, another question. It's all about guess who...
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 One 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 Two 3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Day Three 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?
Do I have him? Or does he have me? I’m pretty sure I’m just another notch on the Jack of Hearts to him, no matter what he says. LOL. And yes, he does try to push his way into just about anything I write in the fandom. Three guesses who he is and the first two don’t count. Yeah. That one.
Why did he become my muse? Hmm…Maybe it was because I actually went out and researched him. Since he was introduced near the end of my active comic-reading days and most of my memories were of the old cartoon series. You know the one where he as the famous accent and all… Sigh. Soon it was like he was someone I knew, someone I chatted with almost every day. Someone who just stepped out of the room and if I called his name he’d answer. He’s backed off some as other muses started making themselves at home. But he’s still first among my muses and he damn well knows it.
(See? I didn’t mention your name once. It’s not all about you. Quit smirking at me you smug bastard!)
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?
6 - When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters? 7 - Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
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.
9 - Pairings - For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
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?
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" fic 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 fic?
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 for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?
19 - When you have bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?
20 - Do you ever get bunnies from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
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?
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 fic? 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 fic? 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 fic?
27 - Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
