labingi21 – 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?
Yes, I have. I wrote a sequel to "Sons and Lovers," a Death Note/Monster crossover, and I wrote a sequel to Love Letters, my epistolary Banana Fish epic. In both cases, more story needed to be told. "Sons and Lovers" took place in 1999(?) and DN (anime) takes place in 2007, so it begged the question of where the characters would be and what would happen in '07. The BF fic necessarily ended when Ash and Eiji stopped writing regular letters, which also happened to be when they met again, so obviously I had to write their meeting. Bascially, if there's more story, I'll tell it. (Oh, I also wrote a sequel to the Katze/Guy Ai no Kusabi fic, and that was to see how Katze and Guy would be doing once they'd been a couple for a while.)
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!
