The story I'm most proud of is a 1D story called Inside My Head. It was basically the same as Running Up That Hill. I guess the BSB story I'm most proud of is Nick's Dirty Kicks.

The story that has taken me the longest to write is the actual Running Up That Hill lol.

I can't decide which story I'm most proud of, it's a tie between Patience (a Take That romance/drama story which is probably crap if I read it back now) and Save A Prayer.

The story which has taken the longest is Maybe Tomorrow, I'm really crap at writing/updating recently and can't seem to get motivated to open my word document :(

It's been kind of dead here! I miss everyone :(

Anyways, what is the one story you have written that you're most proud of?

What is the fastest amount of time you've taken writing a story? The longest?

As a whole story, I'm most proud of Curtain Call.  Based on individual parts, though, I think some of my best writing has gone into 00Carter.

Not counting one-shots, the fastest I've written a story has been about a month; I used to average a story a month when I first started writing, but those were all pretty short as far as "novels" go.  The longest I've taken while actually updating the story consistently was about four years - that was By My Side, and it was just because it was so damn long!  I have other stories that have been "in progress" longer than four years, but they aren't stories that I've written on regularly.

I haven't written anything in over a month!  I keep waiting for a weekend when I have nothing else going on, but it hasn't happened yet since school started.  Ugh.

Luckily I haven't had trouble writing. I've only been concentrating on one story lately with daily updates for Finding Carter. I'm so happy my muse hasn't given up on that one :)

Hope you all get your mojo back soon!

What is this writing thing you speak of? I do not understand what those words mean?


Story i'm most proud of really depends on what kind of proud. For overcoming my overall anxiety about putting myself out there and on the net, it would probably be Mizpah since that was the first fanfic I ever wrote and the first thing I allowed anyone to read. I'm most proud of Lurks and Protect and Serve for the intricate storylines and plots though.

The story that took me the longest to write was probably Scars Run Deep and Wide. There were long gaps of nothingness in that one, but I finally did finish it at least lol

Today's question: What do you consider the best form of feedback? Concrit, when readers guess what's really happening before you post the next chapter, when readers tell you they became over emotional when reading or relate to something you've written, when readers are totoally surprised by the outcome or just getting a review and knowing someone is reading in general? Of course feel free to use other examples, I just wanted to make sure everyone knew what I was trying to say lol

I don't really mind what kind of reviews I get.  I know when I leave reviews, sometimes I'll be trying to guess what comes next, or sometimes stories have left me in tears (RMTW and Curtain Call for example) and I'll say that in my review, lol.  I don't give concrit unless someone wants it or if it's part of a challenge.

Of course I appreciate any kind of review, but my favorites are the ones that comment on my writing style or the reviewer's emotional response to a part of my story, whether it made them laugh out loud, cringe, or cry.

I like the reviews that tell me about my writing style as well or what the person enjoyed about the chapter. I have gotten a reader telling me over twitter that they cried reading one of my one shots which was a really nice compliment. I also like the ones who let me know they're reading or that they are catching up. It means a lot that they liked it that much.

I appreciate any review I get as long as people aren't asking me for a sequel and then proceeding to tell me exactly what should happen in said sequel My favourites are the ones where people tell me specifically what they liked, or even when they have predictions or insights as to what might happen. I love it when people pick up on the little hints I drop!
