These are the crippling fears I struggle with

Aug 23, 2010 22:20

First of all, thank you to the wonderful anonymous person who has made this account a paid one! I think it is my first paid account ever, so I am pretty excited about what to do with it-- thank you very much, I love you ♥ I will use these newfound powers for good, oh god, what are these powers, even!

I have been looking over my inception_bang prompt recently, ( Read more... )

writing is a product of anxiety

The prompt I decided on for my big bang was one from the kinkmeme, actually, and one that was already filled... The difference, I suppose, is that mine will be longer if it has to be at least 15k and there are many ways to write the same prompt! Which is why there are multiple fills, and why we love them. So many different perspectives and stories that can be spun out of the same idea ( ... )

Hahaha, you make perfect sense, but go eat breakfast because it is an important meal! Have you started writing for the BB yet, or are you trying out more regular-sized fics first?

Your examples of which-fic-was-this actually remind me very acutely of the scene I am most worried about! It is not something exceedingly unusual, much like "Arthur meets Eames as a projection first", and I feel like it is a matter of time before it shows up as a meme prompt, I am only just lucky that it hasn't happened yet. HNNNG FINGERS CROSSED KEEP BEING LUCKY

I've never been in a fandom with a big bang before, so I am actually insanely excited and jittery about this already, oh my god, and it's still August XD

Sign-ups haven't even ended yet! Don't worry, we can be excited and jittery together. I have a plot in my head and a cheesy summary that reads like, hm, possibly the back of a dramatic romance-posing-as-psychological-thriller paperback, and I love it. But classes haven't started and I just know I'm going to be flinging things once it comes to actually writing it.

I haven't started writing it yet! Trying out shorter things for the kinkmeme right now but aside from those 3 paragraphs last night, not so much is happening. There is only so many times you can write about Arthur & Eames cuddling, I am pretty sure. :(

Oh, I am super ahead of myself, haha. I love your prompt-- it's such a classic that can be taken in so many different emotional directions within the same fic, and then when they start exploring the subconscious workings beneath the phenomenon, it GOES DEEPER (oh Nolan) than when it is written in any other fandom! It is going to be amazing :D

Perhaps you ought to get drunk tonight, because although I love your liver, I am not sure that it is more beautiful than your fics.

NOW YOU MAKE ME WANT TO WRITE "5 TIMES ARTHUR AND EAMES CUDDLED AND 1 TIME THEY DIDN'T", IDEK AJA.

1. Arthur & Eames get drunk! And cuddle. Because you can't be held responsible for what you do when you get drunk, though Eames will be sure to point out the next morning that lowering your inhibitions only means you are doing something you wanted to but was afraid of doing while sober. Arthur will argue that being drunk is not like dreaming, and then they will get into a lengthy discussion about the subconscious while using big words and creative gesturing, and then Eames will suggest lunch and they will continue the discussion cum argument over food at a café. Arthur will conclude the conversation feeling like he's won (if you can win a conversation), but Eames looks suspiciously smug despite Arthur's obviously superior rhetoric, and Arthur has no idea it's because he was conned out onto a lunch date (because Eames paid while Arthur was busy making his winning point, though he may have scrawled someone else's signature on the bill ( ... )

DO NOT DESPAIR OF THE PAST, AJA; INSTEAD LET US FROLIC IN THE PRESENT AND THE FATES OF DREAMS THAT BROUGHT US TOGETHER. Seriously do not be so excited, this was such a random spur-of-the-moment commentfic where I sort of just word vomited stream of consciousness into the comment box. ;_;

I just want you to know that I made this icon just so i could use it on this fic, because the way Eames is staring at Arthur in it is the way I am staring at this fic right now. It is GLORIOUS.

I loved this comment that stealthily became a commentfic. I love cuddles and I am very fond of Arthur and Eames, and this Arthur was incredibly sweet and also adorable. Arthur and Eames felt a lot like they were in chibi format--they made me feel very fuzzy inside. :D

How can I write commentfic but not be able to fill kinkmeme prompts or write anything I want to? ;___; WHY IS MY BRAIN LIKE THIS? It is apparently hardwired for fluffy-cuddling-Arthur/Eames only.

I may be expanding this commentfic into something longer and equally (or more) ridiculous right now, w-what. Cuddles and ridiculousness abound; it is the only thing I can write. ;~;
