Last part of this meme, finally. (Wow, what, you think it took me long enough to get this done?? I swear I meant to be a lot quicker and better about it than this...well, in any case, at least it's over with now. Unfortunately I fear I may have forgotten some things I initially planned to say on this segment in consequence of all my dawdling...but ( Read more... )

I managed to pry myself off the internet for a few hours (I'm supposed to do 250+ case digests due on Saturday, and I've only finished 5... so... there... I really need to distance myself from the internet. lol) and you post this. Darn. Haha!

Explore what they'd be like in an actual **relationship**, not just bitter UST or unspoken subtext or even hot semi-hate sex.

I really love your take on DeWitt/Dom. The first four parts of the series were filled with bitter UST (for me, anyway), so I'm not complaining about the lack of it in the latter parts. Sometimes it's frustrating to read bitter UST fics and there times that I feel like it's mega-difficult to write bitter UST fics all the time (not just in Dollhouse).

Random only semi-related author thought-vent: where did this weird unwritten rule come up that it's considered *impressive* or *unusual* if a single guy knows how to cook *anything*?

I was wondering if you jot them all down, or if they're just floating in your head...I try not to write too much down in advance, because I've found in the past that if I try to write things "out of order", before the story has actually reached that point, it drains my inspiration to actually write the scene when I get there. But I do have a couple notebooks where I jot down little reminders to myself, just a couple words here and there to remind me of scenes or elements I want to include so I don't forget, and I did use them pretty frequently for this series, mainly for organizational timeline purposes. (For example, I just picked it up, and there's this long, scrawled list on one page of various moments/scene ideas I wanted to try and include in "Give The Dog A Bone" [FWW, it looks like all but maybe two of what I have written ended up making it in], which, judging from other things written around it, I can only assume must have been compiled, god, as early as June or July - months before the storyline had even reached that point ( ... )
