Three things make a post #3
ONE
I still suck at replying to comments both here and on AO3, never mind the PMs and the emails that I've received. I used to be better at this, damn it.
TWO
I do know why I am demonstrating severe anti-social skills, though. It seems to be a recurring trend. Whenever I can see the end of a fic, I tend to turtle a little and hunker down a lot and try to get there in marathon spurts of writing in an attempt to make up for the oh God I don't wanna slumps of my writing -- wait. Hold on. Let me draw you a graph:
[Let's fake-cut this, because I don't know how to properly size things]
I was lost in the Plot Bunny Boneyard pit (I totally wrote that "bonehard" the first time, don't laugh) for a while -- apparently that's where plot bunnies leave the dismembered corpses of writers that don't pay attention to them -- for a while there, but I worked my way out. Unfortunately that was after the plot bunnies realized there was fresh meat in there, so I have new nibbles on my bodies and totally need my plot bunnies shot, but I'll take care of that later. Anyway, the point is that I'm somewhere where the neon green X is in terms of % completion. The recent burst of writing? I blame my anti-social skills on that.
THREE
The lovely asya_ana put together a new community for fandom writers of Teen Wolf -- teenwolfwriters -- geared for... oh, wait. I'm going to be lazy, so here is a quotation I've lifted from the first post:
This is a low-stakes writing comm where you can share short writing pieces and receive non-evaluative criticism and suggestions from other members. All pairings and genres welcome. The idea is to improve your writing, help other people improve theirs, and build community.
Remember my Wreck and Rebuilds? It's going to be that kind of thing but probably not as intense and much, much more helpful. Plus, prompts! Check out the LJ for more information, sign up, etc. I'm neck deep in writing random fics right now, so I will probably contribute by critting at first, so please don't be shy. The goal there is to exchange useful and helpful feedback.
