30 Days Of Fan Fiction: Day 2
2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
I have 98 works on AO3 and they break down like this (AO3's order):
Blake's 7 (92)That adds up to more than 98 because some of them are crossovers, usually with--you guessed it--Blake's 7. Some of them aren't though, written when I was inspired by an idea or a prompt. I'll write anything if I feel the urge. E.g. I had to write something for poor Levitas from the first Temeraire book, and Yuletide prompts grabbed me for the Queen's Thief, Mad Men, and IT Crowd ones. If I get an idea, I'll go with it (if it isn't likely to be so long I'll put it on the back burner).
Farscape (3)
Red Dwarf (2)
Stargate Atlantis (2)
Shaun of the Dead (1)
Mad Men (1)
Heroes (1)
Stargate SG-1 (1)
Battlestar Galactica (2003) (1)

I've written more than that list but I didn't bother to load a lot of my shorter stuff onto AO3.
Rest of the questions
3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favourite characters to write?
4 – Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?
5 –If you have ever had a character, whether your "muse" or not, try to push their way into a fic, what did you do about it?
6 – When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
7 – Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
8 – Do you write OCs? And if so, what do you do to make certain they're not Mary Sues, and if not, explain your thoughts on OCs.
9 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favourite pairings to write?
10 – Have you ever gone outside your comfort zone and written a pairing you liked, but found you couldn't write, or a pairing you didn't like, and found you could?
11 – Do you prefer certain genres of fic when you're writing? What kind do you tend to write most?
12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favourite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
13 – Do you prefer canon or fanon when you write? Has writing fanfic for a fandom changed the way you see some or even all of the original source material?
14 – Ratings: how high are you comfortable with going? Have you ever written higher? If you're comfortable with NC-17, have you ever been shocked by finding that the story you're writing is G-rated instead?
15 – What do you feel it most important to warn for, and what's the strangest thing you've warned for in a fic?
16 – Summaries: do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?
17 – Titles: are they the bane of your existence, or the easiest part of the fic? Also, if you do chaptered fic, do you give each chapter a title, or not?
18 – Where do you get the most inspiration or ideas for your fics?
19 – When you have plot ideas, do you sit down and start writing right away, or do you write down the idea for further use?
20 – Do you ever get ideas from other people's stories or art in the same fandom?
21 – Have you ever written a sequel to a fic you wrote, and if so, why? If not, how do you feel about sequels?
22 – Have you ever participated in a fest, ficathon, or a Big Bang? If so, write about your favourite experience in relation to one. If not, are there any you've thought about doing? And if not, why not?
23 – When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
24 – How many betas do you like to use to make sure there aren't any major flaws in your fic? Do you have a beta horror story or dream story?
25 – Do you listen to music while you write? Do you make playlists to get into a certain "mood" to write your fic? Do you need noise in general? Or do you need it completely quiet?
26 – What is the oddest (or most fun) thing you've had to research for a fic?
27 – Where is your favourite place to write, and do you write by hand or on the computer?
28 – Have you ever collaborated with anyone else, whether writing together, or having an artist work on a piece about your fic?
29 – What is your current project or projects?
30 – Do you have a favourite fic you've written? What makes it your favourite? And don't forget to give us a link!

I always thought that you didn't like horror, and although obviously there was a lot of humour there was also some genuine horror in that film.

I have feared nuclear war all my life but love satires on it. Laughing at what we fear is good!
As for zombies, I did an on-line stress test for a researcher friend-of-a-friend and found the zombie footage a lot less disturbing than the short audio clips of domestic violence. It's the feeling of deliberate evil that gets to me and that was in the violence clips.
