1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

14: Ratings: how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?

So, here's a not-secret: I blush when I write porn. But I like reading it, and I know it's a draw, so I write it. I feel like I'm terrible at it, of course. (I mean, I barely ~like penises.) And I do like a well-done fade-to-black. You have to go where the pacing and arc are telling you to go, though.

One of my favorite compliments was on a story where there was porn but it was like, secondary, and the reader loved how it was unobtrusive but added to the story in an important way and I was so very very flattered. ^^

15: Warnings: What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a fic?
16: Summaries: Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
17: Titles: Are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
18: Where do you get the most inspiration for your fics (aka "bunnies") from?
19: When you have bunnies, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?
20: Do you ever get bunnied from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
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?
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?
23: When you post,ewhere do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
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?
25: Music: Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your fic? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?
26: What is the oddest (or funniest) thing you've had to research for a fic?
27: Where is your favorite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
28: Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?
29: What is your current project or projects?
30: Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link

If I'm just chugging along and writing porn and not really stop to think about what I'm writing then I'm fine. But when I do read it back and start editing, I do giggle and wonder what the heck I'm doing sometimes.

Great compliment. :)

Welp. As you know, I can't write, but I am a shameless consumer of fine written sexytiems, and I for one am grateful that you resist the urge to fade to black sometimes. Because I love all aspects of your stories, but you also write some quality smut IMHO, and I do appreciate a couple of undressed spaceboys in your capable hands. Just sayin. XD
