Another writing meme because why not

This has been floating all around the flist (and can I just say how awesome it is to have an active flist again *g*)

Put a number in the comments and I’ll answer accordingly.

The mission for those of us who answer the questions, should we accept it, is to stay positive about our writing and ourselves, but to also be fair about our shortcomings.

1. Of the fic you’ve written, of which are you most proud?
2. Favourite tense
3. Favourite POV
4. What are some themes you love writing about?
5. What inspires you to write?
6. Thoughts on critique
7. Create a character on the spot... NOW!
8. Is there a character you love writing for the most? The least? Why?
9. A passage from a WIP
10. What are your strengths in writing?
11. What are your weaknesses in writing?
12. Anything else that you want to know... (otherwise known as Fill in the Blank)

PLEASE consider posting the meme on your own LJ even if you don't want to ask me a question

5 please.

It varies. For fanfic it's often the dynamic of people that sparks a lot of WHAT IF... type of ideas. There are tropes that I love that happily fit into a lot of pairings (is that a pairing that I couldn't write vampire or sentinel fic about? I don't think so.) .

For original fic or poetry it's usually a phrase or feeling or theme, sometimes but not often, something concrete like an actual event. I don't tend to write actual people I know into fics, although I may take some bits of them. I do write my own issues (and subscriptions) into fics on occasion and poetry like 90% of the time but I don't know if that counts as inspiring...?

I would say that writing your own issues (and subscriptions) can definitely be described as inspiring. :)
