hafital(so I actually started this post in the morning. It is now close to 11pm my time. That's just how this lifeday went. gah.)
Back from the wilderness! Pics in a separate post. Apartment hunting sucks, yo. Pray for me.
While I am waiting for a phone call, I guess I should answer another question. :D
3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
This is going to be remarkably predictable. Especially since, those characters who were my favorite to write, well, I wrote them. So, you know, it's not like it's a big mystery.
Star Trek: Captain James Tiberious Kirk, followed by Spock. Okay, okay, I also had a blast writing Cyrano Jones. lol. And, if you want to the God's honest truth, although I love Spock, I preferred not to write from his POV. He was ten thousand times more interested as a character from the POV of another character (namely Kirk) than he was as a POV character. At least, for me.
Highlander: I'm trying to think if I've ever written any HL story from the POV of someone other than Duncan or Methos, and I don't think I have. hah. Well, either can be my favorite, depending on the story. I might say that I'm more comfortable with Duncan but that's only true sometimes. Sometimes it's quite the opposite. When I first started writing HL I was a little intimidated by writing Methos, but that didn't last long. When the story is caperish and fun and lighthearted, they're both a blast to write together. As for other characters, I've only ever written Amanda once, and it was a blast and Joe can be fun, but I'm not sure how much I would enjoy writing from their POV. Oh, the de Valincourts are fun, too!
Doctor Who: I'm not sure I can pick favorites for Doctor Who, since I've rarely written a character more than once. I've enjoyed them all. Jenny was surprisingly delightful to write, and I did love writing Rose.
Wiseguy: Hmmm, this is close between Roger Lacocco or Sonny Steelgrave. I LOVE Roger, like, a whole lot, but Sonny can be a heck of a lot of fun to write, and of course I love him, too. Vinnie is not to be forgotten, but he's not (as) dark and (as) tortured as Roger nor as crazy!awesome! as Sonny.
Dracula: The Series: hahahaah. Um. Nothing quite compares to writing Alexander Lucard. He is pure fabulousness from beginning to end.
24: I've only ever wrote the one story for 24, but I feel I can safely say that Jack and/or Tony are/would be my favorite. I strongly suspect Chloe would be a blast to write, too.
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?
2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
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?
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 bunnied 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?
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 favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!
