nonelvisDay 9 - Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
This question assumes you're the kind of author who sticks to a comparatively small number of pairings, and to be fair, that's probably the case for most authors.
In my case, though, I've written 71 different pairings. I get bored easily, and I like the challenge of writing characters and pairings I haven't written before (and in some cases, as far as I can tell, no one has written before).
But if forced to choose from that list, I'll probably go with combinations of Doctor/River, Doctor/Romana, and Doctor/Rose. In general, I prefer to write the New Who Doctors, simply because I've seen those episodes more recently than the Classic series ones, and Nine, Ten, and Eleven's voices are fresher in my head.
Anyway, if you're curious, the complete list of pairings follows. Nearly all of the stories with these pairings are public, and I may yet publicly post the few that aren't.

Day 3 - For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?
Day 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?
Day 5 - If you have ever had a character try to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?
Day 6 - When you write, do you prefer writing male or female characters?
Day 7 - Have you ever had a fic change your opinion of a character?
Day 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.
Day 9 - Pairings – For each of the fandoms from day two, what are your three favorite pairings to write?
Day 10 - Pairings – 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?

Day 12 - Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
Day 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?

Day 23 - When you post, where do you post to? Just your journal? Just an archive? Your own personal site?
Day 24 - Betaing – 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?
Day 25 - Music – 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?
