Pick any passage of 500 words or less from any fanfic I’ve written, and stick that selection in my ask/fan mail. I will then give you the equivalent of a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what’s going on in the character’s heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you’d expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

Fanfic asks for the new year
I’ve seen a lot of ask memes focused on the past year, but none for what people are planning or hoping for in their writing in the new year. So here are a few questions that I thought of… feel free to add more!
1. Do you have a word-count goal for 2018?
2. Will you participate in any fandom exchanges or fic challenges, etc?
3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom in 2018? Which one?
4. Do you think you’ll stop writing for a fandom in 2018? Which one?
5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?
6. Which yet-to-be-started fic is first on your list?
7. Will you change anything about the way you interact with other writers?
8. Is there a story idea in your mental vault that you’ve never been brave enough to try writing? Is 2018 the year?
9. Short term goals… what do you hope to complete this week or in January?
10. Will you keep a record of all the fics you write and/or post this year?
I’m quickly realizing why most ask memes have 50 or 100 questions. Ten questions don’t go too far once multiple people start sending asks. I can’t think of 90 more questions, but here’s a few more:
11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes in 2018?
12. Will you change anything about the way you edit or rewrite in 2018?
13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic?
14. Have you ever lost large chunks of your work in the past, due to not backing up your work? Will you change your methods in 2018?
15. Do you foresee any personal or professional obstacles in 2018, that would keep you from creating fanworks?
16. Do you have that one fanfic that you wrote a ton for, ages ago, but never posted? Will this be the year, come hell or high water, that it WILL get finished and posted?
17. Do you typically answer all comments/reviews individually? Do you plan to change the way you interact with your readers this year?
18. Do you typically post multi-chapters as you write, or finish it all and then start posting? Would you like to change your posting method?
19. Would you consider non-fandom writing events, like NaNoWriMo or writing contests?
20. Any plans to work on original fiction this year?
