mrstater and I have updated Up All Night with Chapter 3. She's done it at her LJ and I've done it here:

Up All Night, Chapter Three

And now for something completely different:

Meme Questions Challenge?

During a conversation a while back with molly_coddles and ladybracknell about the variation in questions in your average meme, it was mentioned we all had ones we hadn't seen, and which we quite fancied seeing put to people on our f-lists. And they didn't necessarily include learning if you put lotion on your cats or dogs.

It was decided someone intelligent and capable should put all these questions together, and compile a meme we can all waste more of our precious lives answering. But instead you've got me, acting as secretary. So if there's a question you'd like to see included - an interesting one, a daft one, an incredibly nosey one, or just something you think would be fun to know about people - then please let me know. And if you have several questions, then even better. Feel free to sling them in my direction within the next week or so, and I'll compile a list. Remember - this is worth doing, because we all love wasting time doing them so very, very much!

Did you copy and paste that link from me? Do I have magical html powers?

I'm going to try and ignore that obviously post-coital David Tennant icon, and reiterate my burning desire to know why people chose the icons they chose.

I'd also be interested in asking people how their fanfic differs from their original work.

I may be back with more when my brain's working a bit better ;).

Do you remember my questions? Because I don't... oh yes, username, the story behind your username. And why do you choose to read/write what you do, fanfic or otherwise? Hm, that might be too broad. Maybe something about the pairing aspect would narrow it down. I'll leave you to the phrasing, since you have such a way with words. ;)
Hm, I'll see what else I can come up with. Meanwhile, I've got reading to catch up on. ;)

How long have you been in the HP fandom?

If you are, how long have you been in the Doctor Who fandom?


There you go, my two pathetic questions.

What I'd like to know is what first made people decide to write that very first fanfiction story. I'd also like to know if people read/write other stories besides R/T. Why or why not?

I know these are really broad questions, but that means we get to waste more time writing and reading the answers! :)

Happy (shamefully belated) Birthday!

Weird, I was just thinking the other day that it would be fun to make up a meme. Hmm, how about these?

1) Do you let your own moral or religious beliefs filter into your stories?

2) Have you ever based a love scene off of a real-life encounter?

3) Have you ever tried something that you read in a love scene?

4) What's the longest amount of time spent researching background information for a story?

5) What's your favourite original character from your stories?

6) What's the most disgusting habit that you're willing to admit to?


7) Name one book that you've read at least five times.

8) Algebra or geometry?

9) Did you ever switch majors in college, and if so, how many times? (not sure how to word this for non-American meme-filler-outers... :P)

10) How many pieces of jewellery are you currently wearing and what are they?

11) Name a food that you hated as a child but love to eat now.

12) What did you want to be when you grew up?

13) What is the first nightmare you ever remember having?

14) When was the last time you read poetry? What was the poem?

15) Opera, yes or no?

Okay, I could bombard you with more, but I'll leave it at that for now. I love coming up with weird questions...
