17. Do you typically answer all comments/reviews individually? Do you plan to change the way you interact with your readers this year?

Of course I answer them all :) All feedback is a joy.

No plans to change that :)

15. Do you foresee any personal or professional obstacles in 2018 2026, that would keep you from creating fanworks?

As you can see by the gaps in responses, RL things keep intervening in my everything.

13. Aside from fanfic, are there any other fan works you’d like to try creating? Fanart, or fanvids, gifsets, or podfic?

Inspired by Cleoselene, I am working on a couple of fandom cross-stitches. At the moment, I'm drawing out a John Wick sampler.

11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes in 2018?

I don't think any of my potentially next fics are anything new in those two veins. The DS9 fic which might be next but 6th in the to-do list is a bit unusual but I wouldn't say it's different in terms of genre or trope.

9. Short term goals… what do you hope to complete this week or in January April?

Finish reading through, feedbacking and adding to the 3 Sentence Ficathon (which given I've got about 5 days where I won't be able to do anything and I'm choosing to pace myself at 5 pages a day does see me pretty much through to the end of April).

Once that's done, post the good 3SF stories to AO3 and post the things I have finished off in the background. I don't expect all of that (or indeed most of that) to be within April.

7. Will you change anything about the way you interact with other writers?

This meme is part of my plan to post more interactive(ish) things more often.

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

The next one to be finished (not counting the two that are finished but are waiting for me to finish catching up with the 3 Sentence Ficathon) will hopefully be the first part of the Blade Runner fic.

"He puts Mitrovic to work on KP duty because peeling potatoes when there's a replicant is your squad is some extra level punishment as far as the squad are concerned. It keeps him busy while Roy interrogates Zhora."

3. Do you anticipate writing for a new fandom in 2018 2026? Which one?

There's 3 new fandoms in my 3 sentence fic, and two of the next few fics that will start being posted after that will be new fandoms (advert fic for an old Emirates ad and Blade Runner). Don't worry, the old favourites are still represented, there's a Doctor Who fic and an X-Men fic hopefully as well.

Stolen from Tumblr (https://brightnshinythings.tumblr.com/post/170450757024/fanfic-asks-for-the-new-year), where the original prompt started I’ve seen a lot of ask memes focused on the past year, but none for what people are planning or hoping for in their writing in the new year. So here are a few questions that I thought of… feel free to add more!

1. Do you have a word-count goal for 2018 2026?

Does the fact that I reblogged the original in 2018 tell you how behind I am? I am very behind. For that, and RL bad things reasons, I tend not to do things like word count goals.

The 10 fics with the most hits on my AO3 account. Position from the last time round I could find (2016, although I think I've done it once since) in brackets.

"You Should See Them In Practise" comes up higher each time. Shippy fic is also now dominating (9/10 total fics and all of the new entries).

All of the top 5, and 8/10 fics were written for other people's prompts. I don't know if that's because it means there's more likely to be a baked in audience or because it means the idea, at least, will be interesting to more people.
