WIP Challenge Check-in, Day 20 -- Wednesday

[linaewen]

Greetings on Wednesday!  We've reached the halfway point of the week -- how's it going for you today with your writing?

• I thought about my fic once or twice
• I wrote
• I did some planning and/or research
• I edited
• I've sent my fic off to my beta
• I posted today!
• I'm taking a break
• I did something else that I'll talk about in a comment

For Discussion: If you have a favorite character that you write about extensively in your stories, do you like to read other people's works that feature that character?

I've restarted my Yuletide story again. This makes three tries. I'm hoping to make this one work. We'll see how much I can get written this morning.

I enjoy reading other people's interpretations of characters I love. Often, other writers think of things that I wouldn't. I don't always agree with other interpretations, but I think fandom is richer for having a multitude of versions.

Finally finished public_call! Now onto editing soon.

I tend to write about Fiona Glenanne a lot, so of course I'm going to look for a lot of fic involving her! Burn Notice fic is hard to come by, especially now, since a lot of people that were in the fandom in the earlier years have moved on. Alas, fic with Fiona is a mixed bag. I like some of it and hate other fics.

I am still in the planning/research stage of my Yulefic, but I feel an opening sentence coming on, so I may be able to start writing soon.

I am cautious about reading other stories about my favorite character, possibly because I don't want my ideas or plans to be influenced -- or I'm afraid to discover someone else already thought of the clever plot point I came up with on my own! On the other hand, I do enjoy other people's interpretations of the character. There are certain authors who I will definitely read if they write about "my" character, while there are a few that I avoid because their interpretation is so far afield I can't really get into it. ;-)

I made no progress today and I don't foresee that changing.

I write the characters I do often because no one else does, or few people do.

I did nothing today. :/

I want to read all the fic about my favourite characters! Even better if I don't have to write what I want to read myself. ;-)

I posted and I started work on a new prompt fill for cottoncandy_bingo, hopefully I can get that finished and posted tomorrow.

Robbie Ross from Taggart is one of my favourites to write but I tend not to read fic for the fandom because the few times that I tried to he, along with the other characters felt immature and to an extent OOC. There a couple of authors who get him right and I have their works bookmarked, it's just the rest that I avoid.
