30 Day Ficmeme - Days 21, 22, 23, 24
Oct. 18th, 2015 01:06 amOfficially lost track of where I am with these *flails*
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?
OH THE GUILT. I swear I have been putting this question off because there should have been a sequel to A Prayer Before Birth like a year ago and I am a bad person. After Merlin Horror and Merlin Mpreg fest I'm gonna do it (except When the Road Runs Out needs another chapter, and I have to finish my Humans fic and my abo fic and oh nooooo)
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?
Does Merlin Writers' Tropes Bingo count as a fest? If so, I did and it was fabulous. I think I doubled the amount of Merlin fics I've written and it was an brilliant experience. Summer Pornathon was also awesomely fun, and thanks to that I can say I pretty much have no NOTPs in the Merlin fandom anymore...
But the best fest experience was this year's ACBB. Because that's how I started going on Chatzy and actually talked to people in the Merlin fandom, and then Mushroom agreed to collab with me, and literally my whole experience of fandom has completely changed in the last few months and it's been really amazing. Like a little gap has been filled that I didn't know was missing. /end gush

23: When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
AO3, and occasionally FF.net for sentimental reasons.
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?
I've only ever had one beta! It was for ACBB and she was grand :) But I find having someone beta your work quite a nervewracking experience. I should do it more though because I went on an old fic the other day and found I wrote 'peaked his interest' instead of 'piqued his interest' and I was FILLED WITH MURDEROUS RAGE.
