I write off and on. I've written (or at least started on) several fics over the years, but never really got around to actually finishing 'em. And I realize why, after writing 20+ fics and only actually finishing the rough drafts of three; my plotlines are rarely, if ever, cohesive and constant. They often go off into tangents. Irrepairable tangents. And I kinda suck at writing action. My strengths are in the nitty-gritty descriptions, dialogue and banter, character development, and prose.
The last fic I finished the rough draft of (still need to get off my ass and finish typing it) was an MMX fanfic that combined my Law & Order fandom. I only managed to end it 'cause I happened to have just tied up all the loose ends and ran outta ideas. So, I ended the fic. Not the greatest of endings, and it was left open for a possible sequel (that I started on 'fore going off on a tangent and quitting), but the story was finished. I just need to type it up.
Other than the occasional fic, I write up character articles for various wikis. I'll script up comics to draw for either the fun of it or for the CJ, along with story outlines for if and when I actually feel like writing. I also serve as a creative consultant to some friends when it comes to their writing; elaborating on ideas, adjusting prose and character traits, doing research here and there, delving into the psychology of characters, etc.
As for what types of stories I write/have written? SW fanfics from years and years ago, StarFox fanfics from years and years ago, Pokemon fanfics from years and years ago, and MM fanfics from years ago. They ranged from poorly-written crap adventures that made no [tornado fang]ing sense, to boring crap, to character development stories, to co-authored adventures that never were finished, to Seinfeld-esque comedies about nothing, to stories in which no one could trust anyone 'cause everyone had some ulterior motive, to conspiracies. Bout the only good thing to come outta those was my prose, which had been likened to Edgar Rice Burroughs.
