7. Do you listen to music while you write? What kind? Are there any songs you like to relate/apply to your characters?
Sometimes, depending on whether I need music to recreate a mood, and especially when it's a song that inspired the fic in the first place. You can seen that a lot in my early fic, where at the end of the fic I would put a link to the piece of music that influenced the work, so that you can listen while reading.
I don't usually listen while writing - I'd listen to the song enough times on repeat so that I get the feel, and then turn it off to write. This prevents me from breaking the flow when I've decided that one song on repeat has gotten irritating enough.
But if I need music in the background, I will surround the song with other songs of similar "feel" so that I can play the songs on repeat and shuffle, so that I don't get irritated so fast.
Aino says that I like anything with a beat, so that's the type of music that I choose for my writing. I have to like the song enough to subject myself to it! I don't tend to assign specific genres of music to stories though.
As for image songs for characters, I don't usually have them since my songs are meant to capture the feel of a certain aspect of the fic. Having said that, I do have some, although they're usually contributed by other people. For example, I have Vienna Teng's The Tower firmly pegged as a Rukia image song because of someone's FST.
