0. How's your project coming? How did this week go?
Chugging along. I admit I am allowing myself to get distracted by other art projects. Once I finish all my multifandomdoodle treats, I swear I will focus on my FOC project. <:D

1. Is anyone reaching the end of their project? If not, do you know how your story will end?
Not even close -- still in the "just started" stage. ^^; I do have the ending written, though.

2. What was your most successful previous project (whatever that means to you)?
For comics, I don't think I've ever finished a comic that was longer than a page... My most successful comics, therefore, are brief 1-page comics that I actually managed to finish and which I was thankful I had the art skills to convey what I wanted to convey, because I don't think the joke would work in any medium other than a drawn comic. I now actually have multiple examples of this "1-page humorous gag comic" that is within my abilities to do:

So yeah, right now, comics are apparently all about allowing me to deliver jokes with the right timing...

For fic, I finished a 58k fic for my OTP last year. I still don't know how I managed to do that -- it is very out of character for me to write and finish longfic. But this OTP somehow is magic for me and makes me take on and finish projects that I wouldn't think feasible before actually writing them.

3. Do you usually work at a certain time of day?
Late at night after dinner is the usual fanwork time. But I've also been doing morning work sessions, which I like but they're short!
