(no subject)
I feel like most of my flist doesn't post anymore. I mean like ever. Eh, things happen, life goes on, I do miss seeing familiar faces on LJ though.

MrsSnape since you are well into Season 3, I'm putting the cover of the Season 3 dvd under a cut. It shouldn't be a spoiler anymore.
Just have five words to describe it: Look who's in the car.
AVON!
AVON!
STRINGER!
MCNULTY!!
KIMA!!!
I think it's the best cover of the three seasons.
~O~
Atilla asked me to talk about writing and what my process is, was etc...So let's do it.
Once I get an idea to write something, I usually have to let it sit in my head for a good long time before I actually start typing. I spend many an hour running conversations back and forth in my head. I try to chart out as much as I can before I actually start writing.
Conversation is something I think I write better than other things. I'm pretty poor in terms of descriptions I think. But I love to write people talking. As a result a lot of my story ideas originate from conversations.
And when I do start writing, I just write. I don't really edit myself when I'm doing it. Hence the 20+ page chapters. Both my work in progress stories could have been completed now, but they way I see it, is I'm going to write the stories to the absolute best way I know I can. And sometimes that means adding things in there just because I want to write them. Like Neville comparing Ned to a giant dung beetle. I was writing and I thought, hey this sounds like a good line let's go for it.
In terms of the themes, or the actual storyline I don't tend to second guess myself when I'm writing. That's because I usually beat it to death in my head before I start typing. And this going to sound really horrible, but I have a lot of confidence in my ability to tell a story. I may be hopeless at grammar, but I have don't doubt my ability to come up with a story. As I said, it sounds horribly vain to say that but it's true. I know that if I get the story down it's going to be decent. Will it be great, I don't know. Will everyone like it? No. I don't write stories that are like that.
I have always approached fan fiction like I approach other forms of writing. I write the stories i want to write. And well of course, not everyone in fandom wants to read what I'm writing. But that's not the point. Because I have this attitude I feel more liberated when I'm writing. I don't feel I have to live up to any past fics. I don't try to emulate other author's work. I am not trying to be another incarnation of JKR.
I'm not sure if this answered your question Atilla. Ask me some questions and Ill try to elaborate. :)
