heavenly_pearlI forgot to do this yesterday, so there are two questions today!
Day 19 – When you have bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?
I'd have to say more the second, if we're just talking about general plot bunnies. My plot bunnies tend to be so vague, I need to let the idea stew around for a little while and develope before I actually have something to write. It's also a great way to keep the number of WIPs down. I mean, it's easy to be excited about an idea when you first come up with it, but I find that if I'm still excited about an idea a couple of weeks later, then it's probably worth writing.
Day 20 –Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
Wish I had looked ahead, because I already answered this on Day 18. -_- The answer is "yes", of course.
But I didn't mention the time I was inspired by a piece of fanart. That was my Fire Emblen story The Strange Girl, which I wrote for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
samuraiter . He sent me a lovely piece of Artur/Lute fanart he had found, and I decided to use that image as inspiration for a scene in the story.
Day 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?
Day 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?
Day 23 – When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
Day 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?
Day 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?
Day 26 – What is the oddest (or funnest) thing you've had to research for a fic?
Day 27 – Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
Day 28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?
Day 29 – What is your current project or projects?
Day 30 – Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!
