Merlin 3x04 and fanfic meme
On the one hand, this episode felt like it was made from bits and pieces of other episodes that we've seen a thousand times already.
On the other hand... what can I say, I'm easy for the whole "let's pretend I'm a commoner except I'll give myself away because I just have to defend people" plot. For Gwaine and for Arthur, of course. We got Arthur at his best this week. I can't help it, I love the guy.
And for the meme:
Day 2: What themes or patterns do you write?
Let's go for the obvious first: I love crossovers. You've probably noticed by now. :P
Like I said in yesterday's answer, I write a lot of backstory fic. It also tends to come with what I like to call Evil Foreshadowing. Look, people! Sirius Black has a bright future ahead! Starscream's a relatively nice guy! Clow hasn't broken the multiverse yet - well, that one's a bit different because he knows there's Impending Doom for him, but the general idea is the same.
... I make it habit to make people cringe with happy fics. I don't know what this says about me.
That said, I do prefer writing about happier themes. Big Happy Families. The Power Of Friendship. OMG The World/Universe/Multiverse Is An Awesome Place Let's Go Take A Look!

Day 3: What character archetypes do you enjoy (or hate) writing?
Day 4: Do you feel you have a writing style?
Day 5: When do you write what kinds of fanfics?
Day 6: How do you interact with readers' responses (or lack thereof)?
Day 7: Once it's posted, how do you interact with your story?

(Things I love about my current fandom: *angst* is the difficult one when you're writing about a makeshift family who's scarily functional.)
