The Sporker FAQs

I, das_mervin, get a lot of questions. However, sometimes I get questions that aren’t for me, but are rather about the other sporkers here. Well, most of the time, I can’t exactly answer those. As such, I decided to make this post-this is so you can hopefully find a sporker you like and ask them the question specifically! Just go down and

What sporkings are you particularly proud of?

Re: ZeldaQueen

I'd say it's divided between Child of Grace, The Gang, and The Abuse Cycle.

The first two because I'm proud I finished them at all. Child of Grace stretched out ungodly long, and I really nearly gave up several times. The Gang was much shorter, but it was just so AWFUL that I probably couldn't have made it without Raxis's help.

Speaking of, I'm proud of The Abuse Cycle because that was the first time Raxis and I were able to work out a co-sporking. It was a ton of fun, and really helped it work out.

What are some of the worst fics (all kinds) that you've sporked?

Hmm

Because I know *much* more about writing than art, the story itself usually is what I focus more on. There are some flaws to drawings (usually minor perspective-type things) that I just won't notice, so they don't bother me. Of course, the art flaws of HIBY are so obvious, I'm able to put more emphasis on them than I would in something like, say, the Twilight graphic novel (still flawed, but not to such a degree

When you met Raxistaicho, did you know you were going to be working together so much, or suspect as much?

Re: ZeldaQueen

Not at all, actually! It was a bit of a random thing.

I believe he'd commented on my My Inner Life sporkings (either that or my BD ones, one of the really early projects I did). At the time, I'd been looking for someone with knowledge of Disney channel shows, because I'd been considering sporking DisneyFan01's Faith of the Heart but didn't have enough knowledge of all the Disney fandom's she'd used. He knew a little, so we began chatting via Yahoo Chat.

Eventually the Faith of the Heart sporking project never happened, but we always kept up our chatting. Eventually, Raxis found The Abuse Cycle and proposed we spork that together. Once I found sites that let two people edit documents simultaneously, it was really easy for us to keep doing co-sporkings after that. I never would have suspected we'd work together as much as we have, but I'm glad we do.:)

That's strangely...not romantic, but...something. I'm not sure what, but still.

What exactly was this site, by the way?

Re: ZeldaQueen

[zelda_queen]

A serendipitous friendship, I'd say. ^^

And I can't even remember the name of the first site, but it crashed quite a lot and wasn't very reliable. Google Docs ended up working MUCH better, and is what I use for all co-sporkings now.

How did you come up With Your username?

Re: ZeldaQueen

[zelda_queen]

It actually came from my online handle at Gamewatch.com, which was the first big online forum I joined. I originally wanted to go with "Our Lady Of Rock", but then something went screwy and that didn't work out. My backup idea was ZeldaQueen, because I loved the legend of Zelda and queen because... eh, some vague thought about it indicating that I was a girl. After nine million people complained to me that my username was wrong because "Zelda's a princess, not a queen!" I picked up the rebuttal "I'm the queen of all things Zelda!"

Because I'm terrible at remembering different usernames, I just started using ZeldaQueen or some variant for most of my accounts at different places. LJ was no different. ^^
