matrixrefugeeGetting back on track with this. At least I know now that the bouts of depression I've been having were a harbinger of That Time of the Month, not that it makes it any easier.
9 – Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
The Matrix: Merv/Persephone, in the early days of the Matrix, when the Merv was still an ambitious young Regional Master Program and Persephone was a young program who helped tend certain needs of the Bluepills... Also Merv/Flood, since no one writes it, and I don't doubt the Merv, later on, becomes more or less pansexual.
A.I.: Artificial Intelligence: Not really a pairings fandom, but oh, the possibilities for crossovers involving Joe... I have written Joe/Jane fics (which I need to post...) and I've written Joe/Monica, which I intend to write more about, as it could be interesting to see how they develop.
Evangelion: I've mostly written Fuyutsuki/OFC, but in that same fic, I'd also written Fuyutsuki/Yui (mostly unrequited, aside from one mid-Instrumentality alternate vision).
Yami no Matsuei: Hoo, and I have to keep this down to three pairings. :: Laughs:: Muraki/Tsuzuki, since it's the definition of "bad romance". Tsuzuki/Hisoka, since it's just plain adorable and they're so right for each other, Muraki/Oriya, which may not be canon, but it just feels *right* (plus Muraki needs a regular donor who doesn't put up with his nonsense).
Gormenghast: Not really a pairings fandom, buuut... I've written Dr. Prunesquallor/Fuschia, since it's just plain cracky (and Prune is just the kind of nice guy that Fyoosh needs), also Steerpike/Titus as a powerplay.
Inception: I'm very fond of Arthur/Ariadne: they're a cute pair and I like the chemistry between them. I've also written mild Arthur/Eames, since they're an interesting duo (and I have a feeling that teasing is Eames's way of flirting).
Day 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?
Day 2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
Day 3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Day 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?
Day 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?
Day 6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
Day 7 – Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
Day 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?

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?

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?
