Question of the day part 8
mare:
I was so happy to see a new question! YAY Erika! lol
I really miss some of the older writers who kind of vanished like Mersey, Refuse, Susan, Chaos, Izzy and Eboni. I miss all the action/suspense stories and the bromances!
I am not a person who rereads many things but there are a few stories I would put on my 'it would be nice to reread that' list. "Seven Days" and "Can You Keep a Secret" are two that come to mind.
RokofAges75:
As a follow-up to the rereading thing, what fanfic have you read (and re-read) the most?
For me, it would probably be Where Can We Go From Here and Cover Me With Dreams. That's why I list those as my all-time favorites; I just keep coming back to them. Signal to Noise is another one I've read probably at least 3 times in its entirety. I am a re-reader, but there aren't many novel-length fics I've read more than twice all the way through.
Do you ever re-read your own stories, other than for the challenge we did here or for research purposes (like to refresh your memory to write something later in the story or in the sequel)?
Carter-Orange:
Yay, good to see you back Erika!
Hmm, the writers I enjoy are still around, although Mare isn't writing anything new I still have a lot of hers to read (I've just been a bad reader recently).
I don't think I've re-read anything, but I'd like to go back and read some of the first ones I read to see what I think of them now.
In answer to Julie's question, no I never re-read my own stuff after it's finished. The only time I did was for that challenge.
mare:
To answer Julie's follow up question, I never used to read my stuff but now that I've stopped writing fanfic, I have occasionally gone back and read a few. I really wanted to try to read them all but I don't have that kind of attention span or patience. I have read about five of them though. lol
RokofAges75:
Usually I only re-read my stuff if I'm trying to look something up, refresh my memory, or get inspired to update it. I rarely read one of my own stories "cover to cover" just for the hell of it because 1) I don't have the attention span, and 2) most of them make me cringe too much. I find that I usually like my stuff better when I DON'T reread it and just remember how I felt about it as I was writing it LOL. I did re-read Curtain Call in its entirety last summer as Mare was reading and reviewing it for the reading challenge, and I actually enjoyed that experience.
