Writing questions!

[(Anonymous)]

For fic needs.

Tracking phone question

[(Anonymous)]

(From the same anon who asked about tracing phones and GPS not that long ago.) If a call is made (to a questionable person) from a character's cell phone, how much can someone actually know about the call? If the cell phone is not actively being tapped (which it isn't) there's no way for anyone to hear the actual conversation, is there? And if the character's cell phone is traced in order to find their location, that's just a GPS ping, right? To actual get a record of calls made from the phone, you would need, what, a warrant? And once you had a call record, is it possible to trace the other phone's location just based on its number?

Original character questions

[(Anonymous)]

How comfortable are you with making up your own minor OCs? Do you find it more challenging than using a pre-existing minor character?

Alcohol tolerance

[(Anonymous)]

I have no experience with alcohol, so I really have no idea on this, lol. If I've got a female character who weighs about 110 lbs, who has a low alcohol tolerance, who might have a glass or two at a party but doesn't really drink beyond that--If she hasn't eaten since breakfast, and it's now 9 or 10 p.m. and she has a glass of wine along with a glass of water, will she feel any/some effects from that?

posting after a hiatus

[grausam]

What do you prefer as reader after a WIP hiatus (during which you likely forgot some plot details): an even longer hiatus to create a buffer to post regularily, or that the author posts the continuation as soon as possible?

Inspired by #5

[(Anonymous)]

Who is your fandom bicycle?

Or, alternatively, what do you think of your fandom's bicycle?

Re: Inspired by #5

[kaijinscendre]

All I have are fandom bicycles. I latch onto one character and ship them with everyone. So the list is long.

Steve Rogers, Loki, Stiles Stilinski, Daryl Dixon, John Watson, Charles Xavier, Leonard McCoy, Spike, Castiel. Those are the ones I can think of right now.

Re: Inspired by #5

[mrs_don_draper]

I think a fandom bicycle is a character who gets along well with or at least has (positive or negative) chemistry with pretty much every other character.

For example, in Mad Men, my fandom bicycle is Ken Cosgrove. He's a well-liked secondary character who is witty and charming and hardworking without being scummy like most other characters on the show. He's also in scenes with everyone on the main and secondary casts, so he's compatible with both the men and women. He's also one of the few characters who lasted from episode one until the finale, so that gives me the entire run of the show to work with as well.

I even wrote a 10 chapter fic based on this analysis!: http://archiveofourown.org/works/3696671/chapters/8178266

I feel like Bucky is the answer to this question? Tbh I'm okay with it

Re: Inspired by #5

[(Anonymous)]

Back when Enterprise was on, Trip was my fandom bicycle. I mainly only shipped him with T'pol and Malcolm, but I felt like he went well with everyone.

I haven't had a bicycle since then, just OTPs and closed OT3s.

What is a critically acclaimed movie you hate?

[(Anonymous)]

What is a critically panned movie you love?

How do you ship, F!S?

[diet_poison]

Also inspired by secret 5.

How do you ship?

Do you prefer OTPs or multishipping? Do you latch onto one OTP per fandom? Do you pick one bicycle per fandom, or multiship many character? Do you like pairs or OT3+? Do you like het, slash, femslash, all/none? Do you like more of a sexual or emotional focus? Fluff or angst? What draws you to a ship? Etc.

For me: I'm a mix of OTPs and multishipping. Most fandoms have at least one couple I really love, but unless they're one of my all-time favorite OTPs I'm still willing to ship those characters with other people, and I'll read fic about almost any pair.

I mostly ship het, some slash, some femslash. I think I mostly ship het because I'm more of a quasi-self-insert person than a watching-two-cocks-is-hot person and I'm a straight gal. But I also ship more on how character interaction is written in canon than on hotness, and I'm not super imaginative, so I think I'd ship more slash if more LGBT pairings were canon - already that's becoming more prevalent and my shipping habits are changing as a result.

I like fluff, and angst if it has a happy ending. I like sexy things, but don't go out of my way to find porn (I'll read it sometimes out of curiosity and having a sex scene doesn't make me back-button, I just don't really actively pursue it). I like emotional connection. I like pairings I can relate to or wish I had, especially het where I relate to the female half.

Movies

[philstar22]

Talk about current or upcoming movies.

[(Anonymous)]

Two secrets with pictures of Dean Winchester.

Book club - August announcements

[diet_poison]

Friendly reminder that we are discussing His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik on Monday, August 29! Sorry again for not doing it on Sunday this time - I'm moving right now and my schedule is up in the air. But I know I can do Monday.

Additionally, don't forget that we are reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore for September!

Re: Book club - August announcements

[(Anonymous)]

Hope the move goes well - and I've got Graceling out of the library!
