(Subtract points if you started more than one)

Are you actively trying to reduce the number of WIPs in your collection?

Did you write any this week? Month?

--Yes and yes

How many pages?

--I'm not sure exactly. I'd guess maybe 5 or 6.

Did you finish any fics/stories?

-- I've finished a couple of challenge responses over on the Dead Zone bboard.

How many?

-- 2

Did you start any new ones?

-- A couple of Dead Zone fics.

Are you actively trying to reduce the number of WIPs in your collection?

-- I was, but then I got distracted by the Dead Zone fic ideas that I keep coming up with and never got back to any of them.

Have you beta'd anything for another author?

-- No

Have you given an author feedback on anything?

-- Yes. I have given feedback to the authors who have responded to the fic challenges over on the Dead Zone bboard and to some authors whose work I read on fanfiction.net.

Have you received any feedback on anything?

-- Yes. I have gotten feedback over on the Dead Zone bboard for my challenge responses. I also posted the responses on fanfiction.net as well as a couple of my Highlander stories and have gotten feedback there as well.

>Did you write any this week? Month?

Strangely enough, yes, quite a lot, actually.

>How many pages?

Two whole pages in the last five days. That *is* a lot for me. And it's slash! (Hmpf does slash! Will wonders never cease!)

>Did you finish any fics/stories?

Sort of.

>How many?

One. Actually, it was already finished, but I revised it, and now it's *really* finished, i.e. ready for publication.

>Did you start any new ones?

Yes.

>(Subtract points if you started more than one)

What? Is this a competition??? LOL

>Are you actively trying to reduce the number of WIPs in your collection?

Yes, but sometimes muses force me at gun/wandpoint to start a new one, like last week. I hope it will be done quickly, though, as I'm really eager to get back to my three (four) long-term WiPs.

>Have you beta'd anything for another author?

Ha. I don't even have time to write, really. Besides, I'm not a native speaker, so I don't beta.

>Have you given an author feedback on anything?

Not this week, but recently, yes.

>Have you received any feedback on anything?

Feedback? What's feedback?

Well... I posted two sentences of my new story in my LJ and got a positive reply from a friend on those two, and I got an 'I love your writing style' from another friend who has read part of what I started last Thursday, but other than comments from friends, no, no feedback. I don't get feedback, really. I used to get some when HL fandom was still more active, but since it's grown so quiet - nada. I think the last feedback that I didn't practically beg for and that didn't come from close friends was in March, for 'Epilogue'.

>Did you write any this week? Month?

Yes, I'm working on two co-written stories, both through email, so they're taking time. I've also actually added something to my original fic. Plus been working on two vignettes which have kinda been shoved aside.

>How many pages?

One of the co-written stories is up to 10 pages, so about half of that is mine *g*. A page or so of the original fic.

>Did you finish any fics/stories?

Finish a story...remind me what that is again! *g*

>How many?

ZERO!

>Did you start any new ones?

Yep...the ones I mentioned above.

>(Subtract points if you started more than one)

I must be well into negative numbers by now....

>Are you actively trying to reduce the number of WIPs in your collection?

It's a dream of mine...

>Have you beta'd anything for another author?

Not recently, but as one of my co-writers is a non-native speaker...I'm kind of betaing her contributions as we go.

>Have you given an author feedback on anything?

To be honest I haven't actually read much this month...been trying to focus on the writing...so recently no...

>Have you received any feedback on anything?

Yes...two snippets on my LJ got feedback, but from a close friend. Nothing recently from others...but I haven't put anything out.
