I'm trying to get a general sense for how fast people read (as well as having a lovely distraction under the guise of future planning).

Poll Immersive reading experiences

Open to: all, results viewable to: all

Well, I'm wondering about immersive fanfic experiences. People create banners for stories. People create art for favorite scenes. We create fan vids or ( Read more... )

Well, I'm at it again. Mr. Ilke and I are finally at a place where we can carve out a little time for ourselves, and its quite slow going, but I'm writing again. It's not at all like riding a bike. I'm back on, but its wobbly and I haven't hit my stride, or found my voice. eevilalice is always telling me not to try to write like I used to - to write like I ( Read more... )

This is one of those weird moments when my soopersekritharrypotterfandom life intersects with my work life. This morning a bunch of colleagues posted this on various social media, and I think its so so so SO awesome that I'm totally going to plan my OF using this method. Its totally in line with how my brain works. <3 spreadsheetslikeafool

You know what I think it is?

Quietness in your mind. My mind, I mean.

I've been really itching to write this last week, but feel so disconnected from CH. That's understandable, I suppose. So I went back and reread from Chapter 24 thru 30 yesterday. It doesn't feel like *I* wrote that, you know? Like it was someone else. I know I've felt that ( Read more... )

Where the fuck is my kink!muse?!!?

I love the way Luca's eyes just barely open when we wakes up, and he peers out before moving his body or even his head. It's like he's gotta check out what's happening and see if he really wants to wake up, afterall.

Okay, so...I owe some big apologies and big thank yous. Under no circumstances is it alright that I let it go three weeks before ( Read more... )

Just watched The Jane Austen Book Club. It was very enjoyable. I'm not going to say that it was the best movie ever, but it certainly didn't let me down. It was a little more sad in the beginning than I would have liked right now, but I hung in there and it resolved nicely. The end was a little "wishful thinking" with all the estranged men suddenly ( Read more... )

So, people do song fics, right? What about picture fics?

Okay, I've know of one fic (a R/H) that was inspired by a fic, but usually it's the other way around. And I'm not even just talking about fan art, but pictures in general. I know I have gone on image hunts when I'm trying to describe an atmosphere and need to see it more clearly in my mind. ( Read more... )

CH is at 7400 words! I'll be done tonight! Woot!

I am listening to my ginormous CH playlist and regretting that I didn't write more of this chapter with (MY) music playing. Music is a GREAT mood maker.

And fucking Matt Lewis is killing me. I want video updates from him three times a day. Fuck.
