Fandom History & Inspiration Meme - Day 2
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.
Well, this one is fairly simple, since I just recoded my master fic list! :)
Inuyasha (IY)
• Total words: 372,721
• Completed Stories: 72
• WIPs: 3 (Allegiance, Fleeting, Fragments)
• Still writing?: Yes, but my participation in this fandom is winding down. Aside from the giftfics I owe, I am mostly focused on finishing my current WIPs. I doubt I'll start any new stories starring these characters, but then again, I've learned to never say never :P
Kids Inc (KI)
• Total words: 137,353
• Completed Stories: 6
• WIPs: 2 (Stacy in Bloom, Secrets)
• Still writing?: Yes! This is my main fandom right now. I have numerous oneshot ideas percolating in the back of my brain, as well as a sequel to Stacy in Bloom. I'm definitely going to be here for a good long while!
Baby-sitters Club (BSC)
• Total words: 22,212
• Completed Stories: 8
• WIPs: 1 (The Best Friends You'll Ever Have)
• Still writing?: Yes - this is my second-biggest fandom at the moment. I still have 92 prompts left to fill in on my prompt table for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
babysitters100, and I'm writing a separate Charlie/Janine story, so I definitely see myself sticking around here and actively participating for a good, long time :D
General Hospital (GH)
• Total words: 12,057
• Completed Stories: 1
• WIPs: 1 (Lost in Translation)
• Still writing?: Yes, albeit sporadically. I'm hoping the show will pick up again now that Guza has been fired, but I'm not holding my breath that my favored pairing will live long enough to see new material :-/ This is definitely a backburner fandom for me.
Jonathan Creek (JC)
• Total words: 4,303
• Completed Stories: 2
• WIPs: 0
• Still writing?: Probably not - I'm no good at writing mystery stories, and I still don't feel like I do the character of Jonathan Creek any sort of justice :-/ Which is a pity, because I really like him!
Ouran High School Host Club
• Total words: 1,195
• Completed Stories: 1
• WIPs: 0
• Still writing?: No. It was a sad day when I hung up my cap on this fandom, but I just couldn't sustain enough interest in the characters to continue writing fanfic for them. Maybe if I finish the end of the manga, I'll feel differently, but as of right now, I don't intend to pick up a pen for these characters again.

All told, I've written (and shared) 549,841 words of fanfic over the last three years. That's...a little scary, LOL!!
Previous....
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?
Upcoming....
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.
Day 9 – Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
Day 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?
Day 11 – Genre – do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?
Day 12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
Day 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?
Day 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?
Day 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?
Day 16 – Summaries – Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
Day 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?
Day 18 – Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?
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?

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?
