I pick and choose which questions I feel like answering!
All the RPS vids I've seen were made by the same girl. AND THEY ARE AWESOME. Two are Jared/Jensen and the other is this brilliant, over-the-top thing from the point of view of Chad Michael Murray about having lost his Jared to Jensen. Oh, and on You Tube there are a million vids focused on a single actor, using clips from all his/her movies and shows to concentrate the hotness. Though I have seen some slightly more focused or comical ones.
I haven't seen a lot of straight up Mary Sue RPF, notably one on FF.net about JM though, and another Jared/OFC one in the second person. Woah. I have seen other actor/OFC fic that was really not what I'd call Mary Sue fic though.
I frequently see people being more organized than me and having similar flaily moments as you.
I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the S8 comic. Curious, I think.
I went through a phase of printing out fic and reading it on the bus and stuff sometimes. Haven't done that in awhile. Probably will again.
Um, when I'm reading other people's fic and I see typos, I usually do yes, or sometimes if it's just one or two I'll tell them after my FB. But if I'm trying to do serious structural editing of many, many sentences that is when I am not reading that fic anymore.
The majority of FB tends to come within in 3-4 days I think, except if someone recs you somewhere prominent after that. It's an interesting phenomenon, how people don't tend to FB when they read something after the fact. I have hit counters on some of my fics and some of them get read almost every day and are rarely FB-ed. And maybe they just don't like it but then, um, why would you read through to the end of a longer story. Maybe other people aren't as back button friendly as I am.
I code my stories in Word. Any editing done later is because I was obsessively rereading right after posting and noticing wee things.
Sometimes I think about the A/N while I'm writing but with shorter stories usually, no. The whole header is an advertisement for you fic, basically. So the challenge is to try and make clear-ish what people might be getting if they read it.
Periodically, I get a "thing" for a fandom/pairing that is innocent and wanting and all the fic isn't above a PG13 rating. I *need* for their to be porn, and there is none. Sometimes (i.e. Joan of Arcadia) I write it myself and then wander off. Othertimes I continue to be annoyed. Currently it's Rory/Dean. Don't mock! I have a sideline thing for sweet, "nice" people doing really dirty things in a schmoopy way. Why do people act like if you're like that you aren't also lustful?
