WELCOME SEPTEMBER ! 30 DAY FAN FICTION MEME

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

Hello Writers!

For the month of September I will be posting the 30 day fan fiction meme that's been making the rounds of ElJay to hd_writers -- that's 30 days of community goodness! Share with us what gets your creative juices flowing and about your personal world of fan fic! Yes, this is an H/D community, but for purposes of this meme, any and all pairings are fine to talk about when answering the questions. Some questions are pairings-specific and others are writing-specific.

( || UNDER THE CUT - 30 QUESTIONS ABOUT FAN FIC - SEE ALL 30 QUESTIONS! || )

Feel free to copy this meme to your own journal, but I truly hope you'll share your answers here as well. I've been doing this meme for 25 days and it's been great fun and also kind of insightful as to how I write and what my preferences and styles are. So, without further ado, let's get on with it!

01 – 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?

(I will leave my answer to this question as an example in a comment; your answers can be as short or as long as you'd like them to be -- there are no limitations or minimum expectations)

All participation is encouraged and welcome! Happy September, HD Writers ♥

WRITING KINK NOT FOR YOU

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

Hey guys . . .

I'm wondering if, for fests, you've ever written some extreme kinks for someone else, that you wouldn't write otherwise? One of my fest recipients has requested an extreme kink and I'm thinking about actually writing it. Personally, I can't imagine writing this kink without having nipped down several bottles of wine first *wink* . . . how do you all write kinks that are way outside your normal comfort level? I've been researching the kink in question and . . . yeah. Lots of wine. >:0

Help?

ETA: If anyone feels like chatting, I'm in the HD Writers chatroom, working on some writing. Would love some company!
