I don't know. You could use the Fedora .config which usually resides
in /boot after installing a Fedora kernel.

Can't answer on that one.

I've never used any distribution kernel on any distribution
(incl. Fedora) longer than in the installation process. Usually, I run
a vanilla kernel with some minor own modifications.

Currently, I'm running 3.11 on this F19 laptop, without any major
problems.

I can mail you my own .config if you want, but most probably you won't benefit
from it, because it's highly tailored to the hardware it's running
on. If you need advice on how to run your own kernel on F19, I can get
you on the way.

A good starting point would be to download one of the kernels from
kernel.org, and place the current F19 .config in it's main directory.
These few steps will get you a new kernel:

1. make oldconfig
2. make -jx (where x is the numbers of cores/threads of your CPU)
3. make modules_install
4. make install
