Fitting In the Kink or Kinking Up the Fit

[deadbeat_nymph]

I'm not too sure about where to go with the psychosexual part of my current fic. I had it all planned out, although not necessarily in order or in clearly delineated scenes, and I thought it would all come together

Just popping in to say that I've been enjoying your posts about your writing process. I never seem to have anything useful to comment, but I like reading them.

So much of what you talk about sounds familiar. Sometimes I fear that because I'm not the type of person who flies to the keyboard with glee and a flock of singing birds and forest critters and immediately creates Shakespearean-level fanfic in the first draft, then I shouldn't be doing it. So it's nice to know other people are human and sometimes struggle, too.

ps. I ♥ your kinky.

Thank you - it makes me feel better about the frequent, rambling posts. They're all what I write while I'm 'warming up' to write fic, so they tend to be about what's whirring in my head about my fic.

Oh god, I am definitely not that person, either. I struggle with every line, sometimes every word. Just ask Erato. :P But, I've found that forcing myself to write, even just a little, when I don't feel up to it does help a lot. :)

ps. I ♥ your kinky.

Yays! =D

I can not fucking wait to read this fic. That is all.

[deadbeat_nymph]

Awww, thank you!

... And yet, I worry. I feel like I'm building a lot of anticipation by posting so often, and I don't know if I can live up to expectations...

Oh well, I can only do my best. But to let you know now, there's not actually that much kink, in terms of kink per page, as compared to most of my other works. There's, like, plot... and feelings.

[littlestarling]

Good because I'm not as interested in reading kink as I once was. I'm much more interested in plot and feelings. More interested in it with my own writing too.

So, you know. Looking forward to your story.

[deadbeat_nymph]

Ooh, that's very interesting. I'm looking forward to more of your fic. I think I might have missed some while I was hiding from LJ. :P I'll have to check.

Anyway, I'm glad to have your support, and thank you for the kind words. *hugs*

I'm also wondering if this story really needs it, or if it might work against it in some way.
Stop over thinking and just write it! You know you want to ;)
Your beta(s) will let you know if it works or not. And even if it doesn't initially, I'm sure you can smooth out the rough edges so it fits well in the end.

Stop over thinking and just write it! You know you want to ;)

This is correct. *nods solemnly* But I just worry, you know? I have a lot of self-doubt, even when it comes to fanfic, apparently. D'oh.

Anyway, of course you are right about the beta and the rough edges. (I hope.) Thanks for the faith. :)

Please see comment above about just writing it and working out any kinks (see what I did there?) with your beta later. ♥

[deadbeat_nymph]

Ah ha ha ha ha! I like what you did there. ;D

And yes, I know, and agree. But these posts are all stream-of-consciousness rambles regarding whatever I'm thinking about at that moment.

But I do know. I just don't always feel, if you know what I mean.

I know this, as you know. But, you know, just tryin' to be encouraging with a reply 'n' all that.

P.S. that icon is making me feel a little teary for once was. Okay, I'm going now.

Oh, of course, and I really appreciate it. =D I just wanted to make sure you knew that I wasn't posting in desperation or whatever. :)

Aw, darlin', I'm sorry. *hugs you* However... It could be appropriate for a fic or two that might appear, say, in a fandom crossover... ;D

P.S. This one, too.
