I did mention that I wouldn't manage to post every day, right?
3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Now I remember why I haven't continued this meme in a while! Because it took so freaking long to list the fandoms on day 2, and now I gotta do that shit all over again! Sigh.
Lotrips - all I ever cared about were the hobbits (and occasionally Orli). I honestly don't remember having a particular favorite one of them to write. Probably Dom, because he was my favorite in general. Dom was fun. Elijah was mostly fun to write from other characters' POVs, because let's face it, he was basically an overgrown puppy at that point.
X-Men - I tend to prefer Erik POV overall. His perspective is sharp and clean and straightforward. It's a lot harder for me to get into Charles's head. In the Boden's Mate verse, though, Alex was far and away my favorite to write.
HP - Remus, always. Always and always. I enjoyed writing Sirius a lot in the Marauders era (and just the Marauders in general), but I wouldn't touch post-Azkaban Sirius POV with a ten-foot pole. I'm fairly certain that every single post-POA fic I wrote was Remus POV instead (with one glaring exception being The Love Song of Sirius Black, which was something else entirely, but even then I shied away from confronting his experience in Azkaban).
Doctor Who / Torchwood - Um, Ianto, obviously. ;) Although the time or two I wrote John Hart was SUPER FUN.
LotR - eh. I guess Merry or Pippin. I only cared about the hobbits, again.
History Boys - SCRIPPS! I might over-identify with Scripps slightly. Except for the religion thing. There I'm more of a Posner.
House - Well, House. Because it's very freeing to write from the POV of someone who has zero fucks to give.
MCU - Bucky in terms of POV, but in terms of side characters, toss-up between Sam and Tony. Because dialogue.
I'm not gonna bother with the rest, I didn't write enough to play favorites.
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 funniest) 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
