Blog post prompts meme

[owlmoose]

Idea stolen from several people by now. Wording adapted from violacea. A good way to inspire more DW/LJ posting in the new year!

The Meme:

Pick a date in January. Pick a topic. On the date you choose I will post something about that topic. It can be fandom-related or not. Pretty much anything you've ever seen me post about unlocked, or comment on in other venues, is fair game. If a topic is uncomfortable for me (too personal or potentially identifying) or simply something I know very little about (unfamiliar canon, say), I may ask you to make a second choice. If you want to request more than one topic, pick a different day for each.

Another person on my flist has been doing this in December. It looks like a lot of fun.

January 7: A fandom project (a single fic, or a set of related fics, or something more long-term as long as you see it as one collective thing, however you want to define it) that has been particularly fun to work on, for whatever reason.

Tumblr and dreamwidth: compare and contrast, for the 5th. I'm specifically interested in the different ways people react to the same post, since you crosspost, but whatever you feel like talking about is fine.

Also thanks for posting this, I was going to do it and forgot and now I can steal youre text :)

January 16: 3 things you would like to see in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Gameplay, characters, general concepts, storylines, whatever!

[sarasa_cat]

January 11: Your favorite aspects of the Final Fantasy series, and how these aspects compare to other fantasy/rpg video games.

[stealth_noodle]

January 23: Your thoughts on characterizing customizable video game protagonists in fic. (Because 2014 is going to be the year I finally play Dragon Age!)

[owlmoose]

This is a really excellent question, I think. Also, yay! Just in time, the third installment comes out in November.

[spindizzy]

Ooh, I'm really interested in hearing the answer to that one too - I love the idea of fic for franchises with customisable characters (Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy I), but I can never quite wrap my head around it!

3: What one evolution in RPG gameplay in the last x years (you can define X) do you most enjoy, and what one evolution do you most dislike?

[pete_thomas]

Hey, thanks for the mention. I'm looking forward to seeing your answers.

If you need a few more questions to fill up some days, here's some. You can place them wherever.

1) How did you end up with the username 'owlmoose?'

2) Describe what your ideal living space would be like (a.k.a. your life all of a sudden became the Sims and you just put in the money cheat a million times). Go. :P

3) List one of the coolest places you've ever been, and what makes it so fantastic to you.

4) Do you have any heroes/idols you look up to, respect, and want to be like (or similar to)?

January 12 - I want to hear you talk about being a librarian. Just general, but also were there any defining moments throughout your education that pushed you toward librarianship as a career?

[phdfan]

January 14: Favourite and least favourite aspects of the Dragon Age games :)

January 27: A school memory. I'm thinking of BMC, of course, but I'd love to hear about any episode, location, or school-related thing that still resonates with, delights, amuses, provokes or inspires you.

18th: Do you have any thoughts on Nooj and/or Paine that you want to share? (I'm particularly interested in your thoughts on him being a deathseeker, if I'm honest.)
20th: You didn't seem to enjoy Mass Effect as much as you did Dragon Age - would you mind talking about it and/or why it didn't grab you?
