Fic: For Reasons Unknown

Jan 08, 2008 23:42

This fic is a sequel to a two-part fic I first posted about 2 and a half years ago (yikes!); Shut Your Mouth and part 2. You can go back and read the first two, but you don't have to, as this functions by itself. And before anyone asks, no, I don't know how I can get away with saying I want to slap Brandon Flowers and then go and write a goddamn ( Read more... )

Goddamn, Barb. Did I ever tell you that you leave the best comments, ever? No? WELL YOU DO. Argh!

I'm so, so glad that you enjoyed this. I admit, I was nervous about the change of direction... I'd originally intended it to be just the panty-melting fic, but naturally the muses took over and decided otherwise and God only knows what the hell happened, exactly, 'cause I sure don't.

You touched on a few things that I was trying SUUUUUPER hard to get through, though, which makes me REALLY happy. I was excited to try the time-change thing, so I'm glad that worked. :D And I was also attempting to do more story-telling through showing and in-the-moment than telling, which is something I've been guilty of in the past, too. It's so tempting, when you have a story and details and impressions ALL IN YOUR HEAD and you want to make sure you convey EVERY LITTLE DETAIL, but truthfully half the time it's better if you only suggest, and let the readers draw the rest of the conclusion themselves. Or something. Dear God the codeine is talking now.

And yeah. Mike, in my fic, generally does exactly what he wants without telling me beforehand or listening to my plans for plot. Thanks, Dirnt. I appreciate it. *HUGS YOU SUPERTIGHT*
