Okay, favorite writing or writing-related memories. I definitely can't narrow them down to one, so here are the top three that came to mind:
*Finishing "By My Side"
Finishing ANY story feels good, but finishing BMS was especially amazing because I had been plugging away at it for almost four years, and if you include Broken in that, five years. The two stories together were over a million words and almost 2000 pages long, so it felt like a huge accomplishment to type the final "The End." And then I was just like, "Okay, now what?" LOL
*The Felix Awards
AC's fanfic awards are so much better than any of the old-school awards I was ever involved with. My favorite part is when we all gather together on the forum for the award ceremony to see the winners announced. Julilly, Mare, and Chaos put so much effort into making it fun, creative, and interactive, so it really feels like another Oscar/Emmy/Grammy night! The year some of us actually put on gowns and took pictures of our reactions was fun. And of course it's fun to be nominated and to win some awards, but the whole spectacle of it is as much fun as actually being recognized.
*00Carter chats
I've done a lot of collaborations, including two big collabs, but nothing has been more fun than 00Carter. From the original thread on here that spawned the idea to our many late-night chats planning episodes on Yahoo Messenger, I've never laughed as much as I do when chatting and planning with Rose, Lore, and the rest of our crew who don't post here anymore. And the writing is as much fun as the planning!
