I'd forgotten how good you are at making the little things that happen in a scene reflect the much bigger things that are happening in the characters' heads. And how your prose comes over as very simplistic, but contains such a lot.

[becky_writing]

I really do blame laziness on my simplistic prose that says anything. And coma avoidance, sometimes *G*

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[stackcats]

I'm gonna give you a box of commas for Christmas :p

(You want eyes back on that other fic? I wouldn't like to peek at someone's writing without being invited, but I'm also not ignoring it)

[becky_writing]

But what would I do with them!?

I haven't. Touched it. I got side tracked by writing porn. I'll get back to it in the morning and you're always invited to peek at it.

[stackcats]

Porn can be easier sometimes. At the very least, it's usually clear where it's going to end. V. easy to get sidetracked by it!

[becky_writing]

I swear I like porn if only for knowing where it's going to end. Getting an end on a fic that's not 'falls asleep' is somewhat harder.

[stackcats]

Yeah, I've just denied myself that one - I'm writing morning porn. 'And then they got up', maybe. I always have issues with endings. And titles. Titles can fuck off.

[becky_writing]

It's really sad. I'll occasionally think of a title for a fic I don't know how to write. Title for a fic I have written? Pulling teeth.

I'm really hating on headers in general tonight. Summaries especially, actually.

[stackcats]

Yeah, summaries are annoying too. Those and titles require you to distil everything you've just devoted several hours of your life to writing into a handful of phrases. And make people want to read it. Nothing's ever going to be good enough.

[becky_writing]

My 'cranky' is coming largely from how freaking extraneous the things feel to me right now. FFS, with everything else in the header, do you REALLY need me to try to do a thoughtful summary? Apparently, but gargh.

[stackcats]

I get that. You've already said it's X/Y, the rating, the genre, the warnings, do they really need more info? And yet when I'm looking for fic and there's no summary, I get pissy about it. It's a writer's prerogative to be grumpy over anything, I reckon. We deserve that right!

[becky_writing]

Yep, when I'm looking for fic I have to have a summary, too. And when I read fic lately, I hate everything. ...I have GOT to have PMS or something.

[stackcats]

Really? I have read nothing in this fandom that isn't by you, so I can't comment. I will (read more, that is), once I've seen more canon, but I'll just stick to your corner for now.

[becky_writing]

I have found some really awesome writers, and a lot of my issue may be that I keep reading CMs version of "Janto" (and actually LIKE the pairing) and therefore get OTPers with a side of homophobic and misogynistic slash tropes. ...But again: There is a lot of stuff I've read that has blown me AWAY.

[stackcats]

Ohgod... what's the "Janto" pairing? I'd assume this show would have a more mature audience than Torchwood, but batshit OTPers do seem to get into every fandom.
Watching the series, I could ship almost anything here. They all seem to have chemistry.

[becky_writing]

Hotch/Reid, apparently. Though yeah, they are more mature and the good stuff is... not as hard to find, even there. It's just... there's also a kid and apparently if there's a kid and a dad someone needs to be mom and of course the most likely candidate for that is Reid.

...Yes, I am being snarky but. Peeve.
