Talking Through December

[owlmoose]

I did this meme in January and really liked it. It looks like folks are doing it in December this year, and that sounds good to me.

The Meme:

Pick a topic, and on some day in December 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 (say, up to three), feel free, but if I get more than 25 or so requests I may pick and choose between them.

The List:

• Photo essay with cats, requested by renay


• Final Fantasy thoughts, particularly on IV, VII, IX, and XII (will probably be broken over a couple of posts), requested by sathari


• "Favorite quests in Dragon Age Origins & II, why they struck you or stayed with you, and (of course) what choices your Wardens and Hawkes made," requested by ossobuco


• Favorite fanfics, by myself and by others, requested by halberdier


• My typical writing process (or "writing" process, depending), requested by wallwalker


• Character types I like to write, requested by yohjideranged


• Favorite foods to cook and favorite foods to go out and eat, requested by lassarina


• Books and movies I'm most looking forward to in 2015, requested by umadoshi


• Yours?

I need a post about your cats and how awesome they are! IT NEEDS TO HAVE PICTURES. In fact, it's cool if it's mostly pictures.

A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS, KJ.

[sathari]

I am seconding posts about cats! As many as you want! With pictures! Cat pictures make everything better!

Also, I am always and forever interested in thoughts by fellow Final Fantasy fen, especially on IV, VII, IX, and XII. (If, um, you wanted to consider those as multiple requests, I would, um, be perfectly okay with that. *whistles innocently*)

[ossobuco]

Some fandom talk - maybe your favorite quests in Dragon Age Origins & II, why they struck you or stayed with you, and (of course) what choices your Wardens and Hawkes made.

[halberdier]

What your favourite fanfics are (i) that you wrote and (ii) that others wrote, and why?

[wallwalker]

Your typical writing process. Or "writing" process, if you prefer, for the off days. XD

[yohjideranged]

In any fandom, what type of character resonates with you? What sparks that "I must write about them" feeling?

[lassarina]

What kinds of food do you most like to go out to eat? What kinds do you most like to cook for yourself?

[umadoshi]

What books/shows/movies are you most looking forward to in 2015?

[spindizzy]

Favourite missions and/or companions in Mass Effect?

Do you have one story/theme/pairing that you wish was explored more in your fandoms?

You've been charting your writing for years now - presumably that means it helps, but do you keep the files for previous years? Do you ever run comparisons between years?

Favourite Dragon Age romance, and why. :)
