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.")

dancing around to Kelly Clarkson in my bedroomattempting to do my homework. Please don't judge me. Oh, fine, you can judge me. I totally deserve it.1. Number of responses you generated (WiPs also count).
21 posted, I think maybe 1-2 WiPs. (Really good considering it's me!)
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.)
Yes. Lazy.
3. Favorite card?
I loved Femslash, and wish I could have written more for it. Also, Song Lyrics, and Crackfic was tremendous fun.
4. Most challenging prompt(s) you answered? Why?
Probably "Kink" in Femslash, and various Silm-related prompts, just because I've never been a huge Silm person and I had to dig a little deeper for those--but I also enjoyed them a lot!
5. Number you most wish had been called, but wasn't?
Wish I could have written Finduilas as Lady Ruling Steward! Also, G47 on the Femslash card with that Rita Mae Brown quote, and O71, which would have allowed me to write a horrifically angsty epistolary AU to my own work (actually, probably better that that one didn't get called).
6. You're still going to write it, right?
Hope so!
7. Most fun prompt to write for?
IN SPACE!
8. What surprised you the most? (About your own writing, others' writing, the prompts, the community, anything.)
The fact that I really enjoyed getting out of my writing comfort zone, and doing Silmfic Elf Femslash, etc. People's creativity in combining different prompts. How many new fandom connections I've made, and how much I've enjoyed talking to everyone (okay, so that last part is not a surprise, but was an added bonus).
9. Which of your B2MeM works are you most happy with?
I actually still really like my silly Harlequin Romance photomanips--it was fun to do something visual, which I very rarely do in fandom. I'm also quite pleased with my Witch-Queen of Angmar piece that I did for the "Kink" prompt.
10. Recommend a couple of things other people wrote that you found memorable.
I read so much great stuff this month, but I especially remember Huinare's Finduileorn story, partly because I might have goaded her into it, but mostly because it is hilarious and awesome. I'm going to second Dwim's recommendation of Altariel's Total War, above, and also Dwim's sharp, unsentimental and totally spot on To my friend, who did not save my life. Because who doesn't love a good Halbarad deathfic, right?
Anything else you want to ask your fellow B2MeMers? (Because you can't spell "B2MeMer" without "Meme.")
WHAT WILL YOU DO TO FILL THE GAPING VOID? I plan to
dance around to Kelly Clarkson in my bedroomwrite my remaining prompts?(EDITED multiple times to take out all hyperlinks and almost all html because LJ HATES MY GUTS. Sorry, guys.)

I second that! She would certainly be something!

...I'm not sure I'm filling the void, so much as being swallowed alive. Did I mention I still have college and finals this month?

The Witch-Queen and the photomanips were definitely both works of art!
And yes, I did not really think seriously about that particular prompt until your (probably entirely innocent [?!]) remark made me think about it again.
And, Finduileorn has now been anthologized. I've retained the little dedication to you at the bottom since without you Finduileorn would not exist. (http://www.lotrgfic.com/viewstory.php?sid=2061&textsize=0&chapter=4)
WHAT WILL YOU DO TO FILL THE GAPING VOID?
- Read stuff others wrote pre-B2Me that was rec'd or mentioned to me shortly before or during the event.
- Fulfill neglected prompts.
- Continue to work on the two WiPs that were eating my brain before all this sh!t went down.

Oh look, Tolkien_Weekly prompts have started up again...
