Thirty-day fan fic meme: Day eleven
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![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 lovelyjule1122 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.
12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" story 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 story?
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 story? Also, if you do chaptered story, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
18 – Where do you get the most inspiration for your stories (aka "bunnies") from?
19 – When you have bunnies ideas, 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 inspired from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
21 – Sequels – Have you ever written a sequel to a story 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 story? 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 story? 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 story?
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 story?
29 – What is your current project or projects?
30 – Do you have a favorite story you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!
