31 days of writing
19. Do you write long stories, short stories, or both? What's challenging about writing a particular story length?
I usually write more long stories. See, I'm long winded and have to say everything.
I have written short stories every now and again, but... that's not the norm. I know shorts are harder because, well, I like to ramble. See? I even did it here.
20. Is your writing generally plot- or character-driven? Why?
Yes. There are a few that I've written that are plot driven, but most of them are character driven. Why? Because people are fascinating. I can't do the whole face to face normal social interaction thing, but people are fascinating. I like writing about fictional people and making them jump through hoops.
21. Do you ever participate in writing challenges? Which ones?
22. Out of all the characters you've ever written, which one is your favorite? Which one has surprised you the most?
23. Do you use unreliable narrators? Why or why not?
24. What do you like most about writing? What do you dislike?
25. Give some examples of how various story ideas have come to you. What forms did they come in?
26. What stories haven't you written that you would like to write?
27. Do you have any works in progress?
28. Do you visualize scenes when/before you write them? Or do you go by how the words sound in your head? Both? Something else entirely?
29. What do you do when the words just aren't coming?
30. Do you like to tell stories orally as well as writing them down?
31. What's your policy on remixes, podfic, and other transformative work?

19 – When you have bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?
Depends on where I am/what I'm doing/when the bunny strikes. I often sit down and just start writing. Or, I'll throw the idea into my IJ and just sit on it.
20 –Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
Sometimes. Though, normally, I'll tell them.
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 funnest) 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!
