Day 8 of Writing Meme

( Days 1 to 7 )

8. What's your favorite genre to write? To read?

Fantasy hands down. There's just something really interesting about people with powers or magic that makes me want to write about them, even if they're doing perfectly ordinary things. But the possibility of writing about the extraordinary always attracted me. It's probably why superheroes are my second favourite thing to write. I wonder what they count as - fantasy or sci-fi?

Likewise, I love to read fantasy, with sci-fi a very very close second. Although sci-fi tends to get grouped under fantasy sometimes! This is closely followed by mysteries, which I've always wanted to write but never got around to. Maybe someday I will.

(In contrast, I HATE romances and rarely read them, but it's where my writing goes to. Go figure.)

ART Challenge - Week 1

Time for the first round up post of DUN DUN! THE ART CHALLENGE~ What surprises do we have this week?

The contenders! In the right corner, with the most words from the last challenge, it's Lunar Eclipse. What dazzling tale of a partnership between a Hollow and his boy can we tell? What's this we hear? We're writing about Neliel? How exciting!

But in the left corner! Not thought about for 5 years, for a fandom that was successfully concluded in three seasons, it's the Avatar the Last Airbender bodyswap fic. Who's getting swapped with whom? Only Zuko knows, because Aang is out of it! With only one main character awake, what sort of victory can this fic achieve?

The outcome of the match? We find Lunar Eclipse with 201 words, and bodyswap fic with a whooping 2,012 words!!! Bodyswap fic is the WINNER!

HOW WAS THIS POSSIBLE? Let us examine bodyswap fic to find out!

How about the fact that 1,133 words of the bodyswap fic was written in one day?

Or that Zuko makes for a really cooperative pov character, when he's not freaking out?

The power of writing in the posting window of a dw is not to be underestimated either!

Amazing! That means a total of 2,212 words has been written, with an average of 368 words a day! What's this? There's another winner? Oh, it's ME? 368 words a day means I've exceeded my target of 200 words! Amazing!

Can this feat be repeated next week? Will Zuko continue to cooperate? Will Aang wake up? Will I stop ending sentences in exclamation marks and question marks? TUNE IN NEXT WEEK TO FIND OUT!
