Talking Through December

[wallwalker]

owlmoose was posting about this. I thought I might give it a shot, since I want to post here more often again.

The Meme:

Pick a topic, and on some day in December I will post something about that topic. It can be fandom-related or not. Pretty much anything you've ever seen me post about unlocked, or comment on in other venues, is fair game. If a topic is uncomfortable for me (too personal or potentially identifying) or simply something I know very little about (unfamiliar canon, say), I may ask you to make a second choice. If you want to request more than one topic (say, up to three), feel free, but if I get more than 25 or so requests I may pick and choose between them.

This is gonna be pretty informal. I can't guarantee I won't skip a day or two and catch up later (especially during Finals and the holiday rush.) But I'll try.

Also, if you come from another site and don't want to make an account here, you can leave your user name like so:
[user name=NAMEHERE site=SITENAME.EXT]
Replace the square brackets with triangular ones. When I remember the HTML to show plain text I will replace it.


So, I'm trying to come back and post more on this site. Does anyone have anything they want me to ramble on about?

The list so far:

12/1: [FFVII] Barret/Tifa ship manifesto, or something. (owlmoose)
12/2: I haz a bucket (list)
12/3: What is your drawing process like? (mako_lies)
12/4: Favorite villains to write and why. (yohjideranged)
12/5: Seven habits/quirks/whatever.
12/6: Themes that appeal to me while writing. (mako_lies)
12/7: Themes that appeal to me while reading/playing/watching a piece of media. (mako_lies)
12/8: Community moderation: The "I" in community
12/9: A few words about Mr. Bear.
12/10: Best fandom ever. (yohjideranged)
12/11: talk to me about Valkyrie Profile and why you like it. (lassarina)
12/12: Do you have any pets? Do you want any, assuming you have the time/space/money? (squeemu)
12/13: Crossovers! thene
12/14: Talk to me about music and its role in your life! (is it important to you, do you need it for writing? or is it distracting? etc.) (squeemu)
12/15: last two semesters in summary (seems appropriate for finals day, will probably be short.)
12/16: Which Final Fantasy game canon is your favorite and why? Could be a compare and contrast piece with the other game canons?? (yohjideranged)
12/17: Rare pairs and why they're fun. (owlmoose)
12/18: Any character(s) you've strongly identified with? Why? (squeemu)
12/19: Sharing a snip of whatever I've been working on recently. (thebaconfat)
12/20: Writing original fiction vs fanfiction: go. (squeemu)
12/21: Favorite book and/or movie of the year. (thebaconfat)
12/22:
12/23:
12/24:
12/25:
12/26:
12/27:
12/28:
12/29:
12/30:
12/31:



Also, apparently I tried to do this before, but more specifically fandom-oriented. So I'll throw some of these in if I don't get many requests:
- Shipping with rare/unusual pairings, and why I always seem to end up doing it.
- Corollary to the above - But what are your thoughts on polyfic?
- Encouraging small fandoms to exist and/or grow - how?
- Loving villains - for their villainy, or despite it?
- Thoughts on various shipping styles - OTPs compared to shipping one character in multiple relationships, multishipping in general, and so forth.
- Tabletop fic - when is it fanfiction and when is it original fiction?
- The hunt for active fan communities/the difference between finding fandom and finding other fans
- Community moderation: The "I" in community

Squeem asked all the questions I wanted to ask! Hmm. Share a snip of whatever you've been working on recently? Oh ! And! Favourite book you've read or movie you've watched this year?
