writersWe're all relatively new to DW, and that means we're likely going to meet a lot of new people. But, where to start? How can we break the ice and get to know each other?
Perhaps a quick friending "meme" would be just the thing. Copy and paste the below as a reply to this thread, and let us know what kind of writer you are. Answers can be as vague or as specific as you'd like.

- Age: Almost 17
- Location: England
Reading
- Your favorite genre/s: I'm a sucker for a good bit of romance, and I like comedy stuff as well. I wouldn't say no to a bit of fantasy stuff either, and I have a soft spot for things based off historical Japan.
- Your favorite author/s: Right now probably Lian Hearn - I haven't been reading nearly as much as I'd like now that it's the exam period though D:
- Your favorite book/s: Memoirs of a Geisha, Tales Of The Otori, and many many more.
- Your favorite character/s: From Tales Of The Otori probably Muto Kenji, Muto Shizuka and Kubo Makoto
- Least favorite book/s: I don't really have one - if I don't like the start of a book, I tend to not finish it. I can't really judge a book if I haven't finished it though.
- Least favorite characters: Same goes here - I don't really have one.
- Recommended reading: Those above, I guess.
Writing
- What do you write: A lot of fanfiction, really. And far too many essays for school.
- Your favorite genre/s to write: Since I write a lot of fanfiction, AU seems to be a favourite - I end up writing it a lot anyway. A lot of it tends to be romance stuff as well, because I'm a sucker for it,
- Do you write fanfiction? Yes, like I said. I mostly write in the J-pop/JE fandom, specifically Arashi, although I have written other groups before (those are all locked now, though).
- Do you write original fiction? Not really - I'll probably give it a go one day though.
- Current project: A multichapter Arashi high school AU, because everyone has to have one XD; Also, something for a contest which is currently in the editing stages. I can't forget the sequel to a fic I wrote before either, although that's gone on the backburner for a little while.
- An area you'd like to improve in: I don't think I can single out anything specific. I just want to improve in general.
- An accomplishment you're proud of: Actually managing to write a 16,000 word fic and a prequel. As well as the already mentioned sequel which is still in the works. I tend to get bored with writing things when they get long, so for me that's been a pretty big achievement.
Other
- Hobbies: piano/keyboard/flute, writing (obviously), reading, singing, graphics - quite a lot really. I could go on for quite a while XD;
- What's in your journal? Mostly RL stuff and fangirling over Arashi. Pretty much everything on my DW is just a copy of my livejournal.
- Why did you move to DW? I haven't, really. I'm definitely still mostly based over at LJ. DW is more of a backup of my journal, and me being a sheep, because everyone's getting an account.
- Favorite energy drink? I can't say I really have one. I would say tea or something, but it actually tends to make me more sleepy than anything else.
- Anything else? Not really?
