onedeadplotbunnyHi, I'm ldybastet, here and on LJ and AO3. I've been part of this merry group for two years or so, I think. It's been a great help as I've been wrestling with my writing.
I'm a slow writer, not at all good at churning out thousands of words each day, or even each week. (No NaNoWriMo for me!) But I am plodding on, and adding words little by little. A persistent writer's block keeps popping up to make things difficult at times, but I have learned a few tricks... Mostly though, I know that stress is killing my creativity.
I started writing fanfic in 2003, in LotR fandom, because someone said I could never write the Balrog of Moria/Witch-King of Angmar slash, and make it sort of believable. I just had to prove them wrong. ;) Since then, I've mostly written porn, lots of kink, and mostly one-shots in a number of fandoms (HP being the largest of them). I just can't write huge, long fics of Big Bang length so those challenges are right out for me. And deadlines paralyzes me. Sadly, I'm also one of the world's top procrastinators! So it's easiest for me to write when not alone, but when someone else is also writing and I know I have to produce a word count.
To feed my own (and my friends') need for kinky, porny prompts and challenges, I started a slash-friendly kink challenge here on DW when kink bingo went on hiatus last year:seasonofkink. It's proven to be a never-ending well of fun prompts, and I have a few bingo cards here that I still need to fill completely. So, I expect my list of bunnies to grow as I get more ideas for them! :D
Right now, I'm writing mostly for a Japanese rock band fandom (the GazettE), so it's all about the RPF for me, with the occasional detour into a few anime/manga fandoms.

(Me too! Nothing I do ever seems to propel me forward fast enough. There's like an annual challenge on the jref site or something, kind of like this community with weekly check-ins and stuff, but nothing like that for LJ or DW, I think. I'm really tempted to create something like that, just for motivation and geekery for those of us struggling through our Japanese studies on our own. 一緒に頑張りましょうね！)
