generic subject line here
I went ahead and downloaded the finale for Scream. This season definitely wasn't as tight as the first season but I didn't guess who the killer was this time around so either I wasn't paying as close attention or the writers did a little bit better in forming some semblance of a mystery this time. I hope it gets a third season, even if it wasn't all that. I'm entertained and it's not like there's much other summer fare to keep me interested.
Here are some answers to the writing meme I posted yesterday. Lots of questions left here, ask me one or more!
05) character you were most surprised to end up writing - lorilann
I think any time I get inspiration to write outside my comfort zone (aka: any fandom I'm not in a monogamous relationship with) it's weird for me because I often don't feel like writing in those fandoms. I've done a couple 2 Broke Girls drabbles that kind of came out of nowhere, if not for the prompts at landcomms. For me if I'm not IN the fandom I don't have the inclination to wear those characters and try to find their voices.
When I was in SPN I wrote a couple daddy!fics, so that was different because I rarely wrote John.
16) are there any characters who haunt you? - impala_chick
I feel like this question is better aimed at someone who writes original stuff. I can't say as any fandom characters have ever haunted me. Sometimes while I'm in the midst of writing a fic the variation of a fandom character can stay with me until I finish it.
18) were there any works you read that affected you so much that it influenced your writing style? what were they? - impala_chick
When I think about TW fics there's a lot of fanon stuff that I've definitely adopted or gone along with because I liked it so much. Tattoo artist fic, the Necks n' Throats 'verse (Neckz?) that people dogpiled on, emissary!Stiles, etc. I usually take the show at its face value so I have to rely on fandom to fill in the rest. Other people have such great ideas for the universe and I end up liking it WAY better than most anything I could come up on my own. But from their ideas I can usually develop the characters around them and it fills in my fic backstory in my head so I can (hopefully) write a better plot.
20) do you write in long sit-down sessions or in little spurts? - lorilann
A little bit of both but definitely more the former. I write better under pressure, as I seem to do anything in life, so when I HAVE to write something it's often over one or two days and I go hard on it. I have a writing playlist full of songs that I can zone out to and write until my discomfort pulls me out of the moment.
The longest time I've spent writing a fic was probably for my first SPN/J2 bigbang which I worked on from about February of whatever year it was (2007, I think???) to that July. It clocked in at 50k+ words and remains the longest fic (longest ANYTHING) I've ever written. The longest fic I've written in the shortest amount of time is but a dollar says he'll lick that Devil, a 7600 word Sam/Dean fic written in about 24 hours for a Superbowl fanfic challenge.
