11 – Genre – do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?

In QAF, I typically write post-series canon-based fic. That's my default, it's what my imagination does all the time (kind of like not_yet_defined's "What are Brian and Justin doing now?" -- and I even often see current events through the lens of how they might affect Brian and Justin, like Steve Jobs' death, for instance. /geeky fan girl confession)

I also like writing erotica in the QAF fandom, which is, after all, based on a very sexed up canon, LOL.

Now and then an AU bunny gets hold of my brain, usually in the form of a challenge. Even more rarely am I tempted to write "gapfiller" fic.

I also seem to have an insatiable desire to write holiday-themed fic, LOL.

And then there's humor and satire, which I also love writing a lot.

After I post the next chapter of "Only Time" (which is FINISHED, folks, it just needs a final edit. I'm so sorry for making you all wait so long!) and wrapping up "Feeling Good," which the lovely jule1122 has agreed to collaborate with me on to keep the ice skating stuff as real as possible, I am going to tackle an entirely new genre: A murder mystery. It's an AU. That's all I'll say for now. :)

In Xena, my favorite genre is what we call "Classic Xena" fan fiction. It's set in the main timeline of canon, and my favorite time period is after Gabrielle becomes an Amazon but before the Rift. I could write in that era forever.

I can't even answer this for any other fandom as I write so infrequently in them... one fic each so far, LOL. One was a character study sent in current canon, one is a post-series, and one a gapfiller. Go figure.

Xiefest starts tomorrow!!!!

nerilka24 and maybe742 got into Detroit today and are heading here tomorrow (Friday)... Travis (orlith), fansee, sevigny7, IJ's outlander, and not_yet_defined are all arriving tomorrow, and bunny and I spent the day shopping and getting ready. (It's possible at least one other fan is joining us, and of course, everyone is STILL welcome!)

Here are the plates for our "pink plate specials," along with a few other things you might recognize. ;)
