Stolen from meredith44:

Fanfiction
Do you read or write fanfiction?	Yes to both.
When did you first start reading/writing fanfiction?	Probably at least six or seven years ago, but I took a break in the middle.
What was your first fandom?	Blue Heelers
First ship?	PJ/Maggie. They were a wonderful ship, right until the day she died in his arms...
What website do you use most?	Livejournal.
What do you think of Fanfiction.net?	Run! Run away! Actually, I tend to use it for Medical Investigation, NCIS and Numb3rs. I stay well clear of fandoms like CSI and SVU.
What fandoms have you written in?	Harry Potter, CSI, Without a Trace, Lost, Alias, Medical Investigation, Blue Heelers once upon a time but those fics, thankfully, never saw the light of day, and I have unfinished Numb3rs and NCIS fic.
Pairings?	PJ/Maggie, Nick/Sara, Warrick/Catherine, George/Katie, Lavender/Seamus (sort of), Martin/Samantha, Connor/Natalie, Jack/Kate, Don/Terry
Any fandoms you would like to write in?	Unless you count the unfinished Numb3rs and NCIS, not at the moment, thankfully. Possibly Swallows and Amazons, but that's my childhood and I'd feel a lot of responsibility if I went there.
Do reviews affect how you write in any way?	Sometimes. Occasionally I get reviews that point out something I've forgotten or haven't thought of, but because I mostly write one-shots there's not much I can do.
Do you use a beta?	No. That's why my fics tend to have missing words in them.
What ratings do you read/write?	Mostly G through PG13.
What warnings have you used on your fiction/read?	I've only ever used Character Death as a warning, but I've read lots of warnings.
Do you have any squicks?	Grissom-romance, non-con, adult-child.
Do you Role-play online? If so, what?	No.
Have you ever stolen something from another person's work?	No. I couldn't live with myself if I did.
Favorite fandom to write/read?	Probably NCIS at the moment.
Favorite pairing?	Nick/Sara, Warrick/Catherine, Don/Terry, Jack/Kate, Gibbs/Kate, Kate/Abby, Martin/Samantha, Jack/Samantha, George/Katie, Harry/Ginny, Connor/Natalie
Favorite writer/writers?	Anushka, Darkdreamer, Jacinda
How long should a chapter be?	As long as a piece of string.
Do you write/read drabbles?	Read, yes. Write, not so much.
Any fandoms you avoid?	Not really.
Pairings you avoid?	Grissom/anyone, Tony/Kate, I would avoid Miles/Eva because I just don't see it but the Medical Investigation fandom is very small and it tends to appear in conjuction with Connor/Nat, so...
Warnings you avoid?	non-con, adult-child stuff.
Do the number of reviews tell how good a story is?	No way.
What do you think of Mary Sues?	The more blatant they are the more they piss me off. But I think most people write them at some point - my Maggie was probably a Mary Sue in my Blue Heelers days - and I have a lot more patience with younger authors who write Mary Sues than older ones who should know better.
Have you ever flamed someone?	No, but I have left pretty harsh concrit on Harry Potter fics before I gave it up as a lost cause.
Have you ever been flamed?	The closest I ever got was someone calling themselves "G/S Shipper" who reviewed one of my N/S fics with the very eloquent "Ugh".
That's it, aren't you glad?	Oooh, yes.
CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

I knew I forgot something on mine. Adult/child stuff squicks me out too. Actually, child/child stuff does as well. This is one of the reasons I haven't gotten into the Harry Potter fandom, despite the fact I like the books a lot. (Well, that and the fact what little I have seen of the fandom scares me a bit...) Hmmm... I used to watch Medical Investigations, and I like the idea of Connor/Nat, but I have never read any stories. Argh, I can't even think about adding another fandom! No, can't do it. *grin* I'm finding these fanfic memes to be interesting; I'm glad people are doing them.

The Harry Potter fandom is absolutely, completely terrifying. I was never really that into the fandom, but the crazy is everywhere.

As for not having read any Medical Investigation fics, you're probably better off that way. I think I've read a couple of decent fics, but the rest are dreadful. There's one at ff.net at the moment that has Natalie cutting and Miles discovering that Natalie used to be a stripper. Or maybe a pornstar, I can't quite remember and I don't think I want to, either...

If they were a G/S shipper, why would they read N/S in the first place? It defies belief. *shakes head*

Well, the fic wasn't clearly labelled. It was mostly just Sara thinking about Grissom and then Nick coming along and they only exchanged a couple of sentences. It was more of an anti-G/S N/S friendship piece than an actual N/S romance.

Okay then.
