Double double
May. 9th, 2011 01:34 pmI failed to do any meme questions yesterday (partly on purpose--it was a busy day) so here are two answers for each of two memes!
14. Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on DW?
I guess I would have to say Harry Potter was my gateway fandom. (I was briefly into LotR movie RPF, but I never did more than read, and... well, it's kind of creepy when I think about it.) It's certainly the one I've been involved with most, even if 90% of my involvement has been roleplaying. And yes... I think that there probably is "a" community for it on DW ;)
15. What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?
I, um, don't think I have a current obsession? I mean, I have my habits and hobbies and interests, but all the ones I have now are ones I've had for a while. I guess I'm reading more post-apocalyptic fiction than I used to, which is an interest that's increased recently. I think that's mostly due to the PA Goodreads group I joined, though, which has given me a lot more ideas of what to read. What captures my attention about it? Well, I guess it's just that I think it's all too likely to happen in my lifetime.
What kind of support, if any, do you get for your writing?
I get a lot of financial support from my parents, who have been allowing me to live at home rent-free for almost three years now, despite the fact that I haven't had anything published. I also get verbal/emotional support from them, my fiancé, and my friends!
Do you share your writing publicly or keep it private? Have you or would you like to be published?
I share some of it publicly and share some of it with a few people. There isn't much that I haven't shared and have no intention of sharing. My writing isn't just for me. I guess I wouldn't see the point in writing it down instead of just letting it play out in my head if I weren't going to share it.
I have actually been published once--a short story of mine was published in a non-paying e-zine. And a different story was published somehow on my college website, I think, though that counts even less. And of course I also self-publish myself online. I definitely hope to be traditionally published eventually, as well as to self-publish more things that might actually make me money.
