Give me a number and I'll answer the question (or try to anyway):
- Which is your favorite of the fics you’ve written for [name of fandom]?
- Favorite piece overall?
- Which was the hardest to write, in terms of plot?
- Which has the most “you” in it, however you’d define that?
- What is an image/set of images that you’re particularly proud of?
- Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?
- Least favorite plot point/chapter/moment?
- Favorite plot point/chapter/moment?
- Favorite character to write?
- Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you’ve written
- If I’m showing off just one of your pieces to someone, which one should it be?
- What WIPs do you have going now? Are you excited about them?
- Are there any things that might have happened in any of your stories, but you changed them at the last minute? (So-and-so dies, they don’t actually kiss, main character has long extended ballet-based dream sequence, etc.)
- Would you want to write canon for any of your fandoms (like be hired by showrunner to do an episode)? Which one?
- Does font matter to you when you’re writing a draft?
- 3 favorite comments ever received on fanfic.
- Any mean comments? How’d you deal with it? Who laid the smackdown?
- If you could go back and revise one of your older stories, which would it be?
- Do you make up scenes at work/on the bus/at the gym? Who are the characters that pop up the most? Do you write them down?
- Go nuts, and talk about writing. Or write me a little ficlet-whatsit using a character/image/line I shall now specify—

I'm a bit the same when it comes to plots - I tend to wing it something awful, as well as foolhardily posting parts of things before the later bits are finished. You may notice in my multi-chapter fics that the chapters get longer and longer towards the end sometimes. That's me wriggling and manoeuvring desperately to get where I think I'm going after veering off on various tangents along the way... And I know all too well what that brick wall feels like, too.
Anyway, I hope you eventually manage to resurrect those and do something with them that you're pleased with. I suppose the trick would be getting your future self to leave you instructions on how to fix things. ;)
