Just checking in: "I'm ready to listen when you're ready to tell me the rest of the story."

It's been just over a week since matches went out. How are you doing? Finding something that clicks? Scouting something new?

Stories come due on the AO3 on June 23. Stories begin releasing on June 25.

One of our insightful players suggested that we could get more fun from our community during the game's writing phase with periodic surveys. So, this year, I'll try to buoy these dull reminders with interesting questions. For those who'd enjoy a little engagement...

Question #1: Is your personal favorite FK episode the same as the episode you'd identify as FK's best? Why?

Bonus question: What do you think of this question idea? And what questions (if any) should we ask in the future?

Thanks!

Re: Favorite v. best

[batdina]

The only episode that comes close to "Last Act" in its construction is "False Witness". "False Witness" is very very hard one for me to re-watch, however. Which is often why I pick Last Act as my "best": I can remember it better as I've seen it more often.

Favorite? I'll have to get back to you on that.

[I'm presuming that those of us who are not writing this year get to participate in this question and answer thing on the community. If not, please delete this if you need to.]

[Everyone is welcome to play with the questions!]

"False Witness" has many reasons to be difficult to rewatch, for sure, and some different reasons for different people. I cringe through some passages every time. But you're right: it's very well made, indeed!

"If Looks Could Kill" is another like "Dying For Fame," in that I revel in it, personally, but it's sadly plagued with gaps and mistakes.

I seem to recall that that you once identified "Feeding the Beast" as a favorite (if not as Your Favorite).
