A Little B2MeM 2012 Meme Quiz Thing.

Answer in the comments or on your own journal.  (Mods, hope this doesn't count as spam--please feel free to remove if it does. :) )

1. Number of responses you generated (WiPs also count).

2. (You can also count up the number of prompts you answered, etc, but I'm lazy so I'm not going to do that.)

3. Favorite card?

4. Most challenging prompt(s) you answered?  Why?

5. Number you most wish had been called, but wasn't?

6. You're still going to write it, right?

7. Most fun prompt to write for?

8. What surprised you the most?  (About your own writing, others' writing, the prompts, the community, anything.)

9. Which of your B2MeM works are you most happy with?

10. Recommend a couple of things other people wrote that you found memorable.

Anything else you want to ask your fellow B2MeMers?  (Because you can't spell "B2MeMer" without "Meme.")

1. 39. I have never had such a productive month! :D

2. 34 prompts...some of which I had sworn I wouldn't do. Tolkien triumphs over self-discipline.

3. Steward and his Sons! Also, though I didn't write them, I really liked Here we come a Caroling, Adunaic, the two animal cards, and Deep Thoughts.

4. Toothache, because I know so amazingly little about them. And ecstacy because I so rarely use that word and that emotion comfortably.

5. B5 and N37

6. Both of them. Multiple times. :)

7. Whoa, that's hard. Captain of Ithilien, ecstacy, apprehension, Winter Festivities, Captain General...those are probably my favorites so far.

8. The incredible communal feeling in this, well, community. I have never experience such an endless feedback loop of entusiasm and encouragement and inspiration. Also, the amount of writing this generated. I knew it would be a lot, but by the Valar, I am impressed! I had so much wonderful work to read every day! I was astounded I managed to write so much, that one of my OCs (who prior to this month didn't exist) apparently has 5 siblings I did not know, and that some of my work actually was postable at speed. That never happens. :) This month was amazing.

9. I am pleased with both of the two I posted, probably most with "Washed Away," because it deals with emotions and ideas that I have struggled to write before.

10. Ah, now I wish I had kept track of these better. There are so many that I liked, and that fascinated me, only a few of which I can recall. I know that there was a drabble by altariel called "Self Medication" which I liked a great deal. Altariel's drabble of Denethor and the Palantir completely blew me away. I loved cairistiona's Halbarad everywhere he appeared. I was fascinated by the many depictions of unnamed and/or underdeveloped female characters. There were so many others that I liked, but I cannot remember them.

I agree with Linda, I am so very excited to do this again in the future.

I'm pleased you liked my Steward and his Sons card!

It was exactly the right card for me. Somehow you had a knack for putting just the thing to entrance my imagination. :) Thank you for making it so well! The "Playing with Fire" prompt in particular broke my brain in the best way.

I'm so pleased it worked for you. Actually it was my second attempt to create the card as somehow the first time I tried to make it ,it disappeared in cyberspace, so I had to create it again on the last moment by which time I think I'd had better ideas,

That was your Steward and Sons card? Thank you! It was just the shove I needed to start writing Faramir :D

I'm delighted it encouraged you to write about Faramir!
