Writers Meme

[potentiality_26]

While I'm here flailing around with my million WIPs, I figured why not do this writers meme frozen_delight is doing?  Give me a number (or more than one) and I'll answer.

1. Describe yourself how you would describe a character you’re introducing.

2. Is there any specific ritual you go through while/before/after your writing?

3. What is your absolute favorite kind of fic to write?

4. Are there any other fic writers you admire? If so, who and why?

5. How many words can you write if you sit down and concentrate intensely for an hour?

6. First fic/pairing you wrote for? (If no pairing, describe the plot)

7. Inspiration, time, or motivation. Choose two.

8. Why do you choose to write?

9. Do you ever have plans to write anything other than fic?

10. What inspires you the most?

11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?

#1 requires some thought, so I'll do that a little later, but to get the others out of the way:

10. What inspires you the most?

All kinds of things. When I was first starting to write, I had a tendency to write things that were a lot like whatever I was reading at the time (I remember reading the Redwall books and writing a story about talking animals in a community). Now, with fanfic, I get ideas for stories all over the place. When I take the dog to the vet, I think about a vet AU. Also, I love tropes. I think some of my favorite fandoms are the ones were you can use any trope that strikes your fancy.

11. Weirdest thing you’ve ever written/thought about writing/etc.?

That's tough. I've certainly written things (mainly darkfic, which you've heard me whine about before) where I just don't know where they came from, because they weren't ideas that I thought of myself as thinking about until the whole story dropped in my lap, but it's pretty hard to think of a single example.

Ohh, sounds like your inspiration is rather focused whereas mine is...random. *Facepalm* But it sounds like there is a @#$%ton of input coming in, lol!!

Bless, lovie. I have heard you scream about it. But the results are so DELICIOUS...

There definitely is, lol! It's why there are always so many clamoring for attention.

One of the nice things about writing fic is that no matter how weird I think an idea is, there's always an audience.
