30 days of fanfic meme, days 11 and 12

[pensnest]

We spent yesterday shuttling the Boy back to Norwich, moving his stuff into the new place and out of the old place, and interspersed with that, collecting Bun, taking her to retrieve something from her old place and deposit it back at her new place. There was a lot of shuttling. There was also a fair bit of cleaning, as the landlord at Boy's new place doesn't seem to be, shall we say, actively involved in maintaining the house.

Got back at 9pm.

I don't think I managed to post any of the fanfic meme yesterday. Two, therefore, today.


Day 11: Genre – do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?

I think of myself as mostly a gen writer who includes sex (sometimes). Mostly I write fairly light-hearted romance, although I do like a reasonable amount of plot, if possible. Something cheerful and with a happy ending! I don't seem to be able to do hurt/comfort at all, and I'd rather err on the side of comedy anyway. Though I do like to have an idea for something different, now and again.


Day 12: Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?

Ah yes, my "Full Monty" story, with Backstreet cast as five guys who get together to earn some cash by stripping, and Lance Bass as a guest with a sparkly butt. It was my first deliberately long story, written for the popslash 'Bittybang' challenge, so I felt I needed to know there would be enough storyline to make the story long enough. And Backstreet fit so perfectly into those roles, it worked really well.

Actually, now I think of it, I'm quite surprised I haven't done this more often. There are lots of books and musicals and plays with 'classic' plots that could easily be stolen adapted for fandom. But I'll save those interesting notions in case I am idea-less come MTYG time.
