labingi22 – 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?
Rarely. When I was new to LJ (around '04), one of my first activities was a Blake's 7 ficathon, which introduced me to a lot of my early LJ friends. I subsequently did a Farscape ficathon and a couple of smaller ones. I enjoy these, but given all the irons in my fire, they almost always get cut from consideration. Often, the fan fic I'm personally inspired to do--when I have time to write at all--takes time from my original fic to the point that my original output is almost nil. I enjoy doing challenges and writing to prompts, but the fic and original writing closest to my heart comes first, and there's rarely additional writing time.
My favorite experience is probably the B7 ficathon because it was new and exciting, and I got to meet lots of new B7 fans.
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!
