Do these if/as you need them. These memes are here to help you, but don't feel like you have to do them. I'd rather see you get things done, or post other questions you have for the community or things you need critique on than these memes if you don't need them.

Make a post with the title of the meme in the subject line, and tag it with your username.

Name: [info]kynx
Fandom(s) you are working on for this fest: Harry Potter & Thirty Seconds to Mars
Participation: (Writer/artist/beta/other. Include which you are doing for this fest, as I need to know this in order to make the meme challenges helpful.) Writer, can beta for continuity/readability but hopeless with SPAG.
The one item from your list that you most want to complete: Item two 2/ Hermione/all malfoys, for a prompt inell gave us months ago. It's feels like it's been going on forever, lol.
Items with a deadline other than this fest: None
Most fun item on your list: W-Mail
Item you are dreading the most/need the most encouragement on: M'not dreading anything, but generally we need to be more organised and consistent, so just encouragement for everything would be good :D
How do you start a project?(Do you take vague notes, outline extensively, dive deep into research?) We have and IM convo about it, usually we write it back and forth to each other over IM, save the im convo into a word file, and tidy it up, then decide what we need to do about it and get a vague outline, we either divide the fic up and write separately or keep writing back and forth, crack and dialogue works best going back and forth, just reacting to each other. Here's a convo at the start of a fic click for rambling kynx )
In what conditions do you work best? (Time of day, the place you like to work in, the medium, for example.) As long as there's sweet caffiene (tea, coffee, coke) or alcohol and nicotine, anytime there is no distractions. I like middle of the night best, kit has pesky job so can't do middle of the night very often but we do seem to work well from about 9pm onwards, yeps definate nighttimes, night owls is us :D
One thing that always inspires you to create: (Anything. A quote, book, movie, artist, fanfiction, anything. Share with us, in hopes that we will be inspired by it as well.) It's compltely random, internet cartoons, posters, movie tag lines, memes, quizzes, music, each other, our friends, e-mail conversations with folks who know not of the slash, my friend at work, our respective stalkers (which are real and not in our heads).
One general thing you would really like to improve on: (Overall; doesn't have to be specific to an item on your list.) Plot, plot development and working on longer maybe chaptered fics. Our fic are gradually getting longer but the only chaptered one we have is w-mail, I think I'd like to be working on a fic, poa
Advice and/or questions regarding the creative process that you have for the other members of the community: Erm... not really? Only that there are no bad ideas, just crack fic and un-crackfic.

A teaser from something you've got at least partially done:
this is crack )

I marked another fic off my list because it was unnecessary. I didn't post it because the fic in question was only a possibility but I listed it because I am a mod of a fest I am running here on [info]fall_fantasia. It was intended as a pinch-hit to a participant whose assigned partner went AWOL. Since the other person could not be contacted, I offered to release the still participating person from their obligations and they agreed. As the fest is still on-going, I'd rather not reveal the participants just yet.

If you like, I'll still post the fic on my journal if you need proof of the fic's completion. Just let me know.

I'm always very, very bad about turning in fics for exchanges on time ... I think I've turned things in as much as two weeks late before. I'm not actually sure if I've ever turned anything in on time ... maybe some musing about time management and deadlines and signing up for too many things is in order. :)

Anyhow, I finished my slashnotsmut fic and sent it into the mods ... only three hours late! Yay! *throws confetti and takes a dose of cough medicine to celebrate* :)
