drop one of these bad boys in my askbox and i will post, without editing

  • FIRST — the first two sentences of my current project
  • LAST — the most recently written two sentences of my current project
  • NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get.
  • [insert prompt here] — you post a prompt, and i’ll write three sentences based on that prompt, set in the same time/setting as my current project
  • THE END — i’ll make up an ending, or post the ending if i’ve written it
  • BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project
  • POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective

@anghraine tagged me in the post-a-bit-of-something-you’re-working-on meme!

The arrow arced like a comet over the plains. Wind screamed in agony in its passage, shrill and short, and air rippled out like water from the impact. Earth liquefied under the arrowhead, and the impaled shadow-shape writhed like a spineless deep-sea creature brought to the surface before it dissolved into the ground. Faint wisps of steam rose from the crater around the embedded arrow. A tuft of matte-black fur lingered around the arrowhead before disappearing with a foul odor,

though no elf was close enough to behold this.

Last sentence

@lordnelson100 tagged me, so even if I don’t tag others via name, again any mutual wanting to continue this wip meme, feel free. And for a shred of context, here’s three sentences for the entire paragraph, because that last sentence is about to undergo some overhaul. 

Tacholdir has his writings and Arodreth has merrily assigned himself as personal steward and gardener for Lady Alphen. She will either throw him out of her house on his ear or finally shove him into her bed, or perhaps both. Old Mother Swan and Old Father Bull are as constant as tides

1) How many works in progress do you currently have?

Well, that matters on if the “Rose Red” stuff is two stories, up to four or five. Then Release from Bondage, Of Ingwë, the other three Band of the Red Hand, Findis writes Voltron, Faron and friends in Valinor during the 2nd Age fluff fic(s)…. Let’s say I have somewhere around ten works in progress, be it only a few sentences up to half-finished chapters.

2) Do you/would you write fanfiction?

Yes. Almost exclusively Silm for pure fanfic; the other fandoms get shoved into borderline original fiction

3) Do you prefer paper books or ebooks?

Both. I read series where it’s more convenient to have them on a kindle, but I still love paperbacks. Even my comics I have a mix of both.

4) When did you start writing?

Twelve. wrote almost 99 pages of a fantasy story about pegasi riders, each chapter written with a different colored gel pen appropriate to that chapter’s pov character.

5) Do you have someone you trust that you share your work with?

I post to tumblr and AO3, so yeah. In general my mutuals; I’d trust any of y’all as betas even if I rarely request one. Nobody outside of my internet circle, however.

6) Where is your favourite place to write?

Home computer.

7) Favorite childhood book?

Anne of Green Gables, followed by The Secret Garden

8) Writing for fun or publication?

FUN

9) Pen and paper or computer?

Computer more often, but I still write using a pencil and paper sometimes when at work.

10) Have you ever taken any writing classes?

No and never desired to

11) What inspires you to write?

I love these characters and they need more love and attention. Here’s a fun AU, let’s make a fusion to change their setting. Also, spite.
