23. Do you use unreliable narrators? Why or why not?

I'm not sure if I do. So, I can't really answer this question. Sorry.

24. What do you like most about writing? What do you dislike?

I like words. I like words that go together in certain orders and then tell you something you didn't know before.

I hate that sometimes, the words get stuck. That there's nothing I can do to drag them out. It isn't fair, dammit.

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?

30 days of fanfiction

23 – When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?

Well, I used to post over at ff.net. Yes, that cesspool of hatred. But, I've gotten away from that. I now, normally, only post at my personal journal (open to the public) and maybe a comm, if it fits the community.

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?

Betas... I used to routinely badger etcetera_cat to be my beta. These days, when it comes to fanfic, I just post it. Because, dammit, if people point out errors that means they're actually reading it. Something I'm never too sure of.

No horror/dream stories, though I have to point out that etcetera_cat is still my main squeeze when it comes to betaing.

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!
