==Comments by Gamin on Fandom and Writing==
===On Writing in General===
 
From a 2000 project titled Writers and Writing which was "A look at what our fanfic writers have to say about their craft."
* In your opinion, which TWO crews would get along best?
* Why do you write? Who or what inspired you?
* How "beta" are betareaders? To what extent would you welcome their betareading/advice/guidance/recommendations/editing?
* How does your very first fanfic differ from your latest work? How do you feel about that first attempt?
* Which character do you like most. In your discussion, reflect on the shortcomings/success you see in the way the character is portrayed in the series/films and how much more (or less?) you would have liked to see the character explored
* Which pairing you care so much about? State why - especially if it's not a canon pairing - you feel your characters should be in a relationship. Do you feel that TPTB failed/succeeded in developing that relationship satisfactorily?
* What do you do to become a better writer? 
* Many writers choose to craft Alternate Universes within Star Trek or their favorite fandom. When you craft an AU, what rules do you use to keep it interesting and recognizable, despite the freedom you have and the changes you can make? 
* If you have written a story in collaboration with others, how did you work it?
