Merlin (do you write in any other fandoms?), 5

Merlin, 19.

I do! I often make up scenes when I'm walking, or driving, or commuting - but mainly when I'm walking. Something about walking seems to get the creative juices flowing. I sometimes have to race back to jot things down. I heard once that Iris Murdoch used to take a dictaphone with her when she was walking the dog, so she could write as she walked. I'm sure I could get an app for that... hmmm!

It's mostly Merlin and Arthur that pop up - although at the moment I've got quite a lot of Elena/Morgana feels, and sometimes Gwen or Gwaine knock on my noggin and demand entry... Writing for me seems to start with feelings, and they have to come out as words.

Sounds familiar! Walking works excellently for me too - and for Iris Murdoch, apparently. There's an author that I see sometimes on my walks; she seems to think the same. If you find a good app, let me know? :)

Oh, I'm reading something of yours right now, so I thought I'd ask: 12!

How lovely that you're reading something of mine! I have been reading your wonderful offshore fic, and LOVED it ( ... )

Would love to hear what episodes you would write. Tbh I also want to know if you would be interested in joining a club to send Bradley scripts. There are a lot of good writers in this fandom-including you! Who am I kidding. Just read that every movie currently playing is based on a video game....

Oh wow, obviously I'd love to write for the Merlin canon - and what a brilliant idea to send Bradley scripts! We could pull together a wonderful crowdsourcing idea, and then BAM! Bradley on telly again hurrah!

I wonder if he'd let his fans know what sort of role he really craves, so that we could write that for him :D

Wouldn't that be nice? I suspect he must be depressed or something. Or maybe he doesn't type for the parts he wants? Perhaps there is some dollop head connection w/ the character, after all. Real People: can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em.

Maybe a big brother figure to magical kids a la Escape from Something g or the other mountain?

Re: I'll take #14 please camelittle March 11 2014, 08:46:55 UTC

OMG I remember that movie. Escape to Witch Mountain? I can't remember the plot, only that I loved it. Oh, and it had an actor in it I liked. (Aged 7, I was a fangirl back then too LOL). Ike Eisenmann was his name. I thought it was an incredibly exotic name. Now I that work with people from everywhere from Thailand to Mexico it doesn't seem that exotic any more lol.
