For Writers:

sunken-standard:

Reblog if it’s okay for your followers
to leave you an ask telling you what the one thing is they remember
you for as a writer.  Is it a scene or a detail or a specific line?
Is it something like style or characterization?  Is it that one weird
kink they never thought they’d be into, but oh my god wow
self-discovery time?

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

Sure! I feel like only a fraction of what’s in my head ever makes it onto the page, you know?

I’m another one who only writes like 5% of the ideas that float around in my head (and I don’t necessarily write the most compelling or ‘best’ of those ideas, either.)

I’m… really bad at verbalizing things in general, lately, but random questions are welcome and I’ll try and answer them. 

Ask me fic-specific questions!

Fic Commentary Meme

Inspired by a post- Drop a quote in my ask box (500 letters or less- for a longer quote or paragraph just give the opening and ending sentence) from any of my fics, and I’ll give a DVD style commentary on it. What I was thinking when I wrote it, where in the timeline process it was written, characterization goals, what part of the sentence or phrase I’m really proud of or what part of it I didn’t think is successful, background thoughts that didn’t make it to the page, etc…
