So. As the subject line says, I've been reading meta. Mostly Te's meta, and does this *surprise* anyone? Why, no ( Read more... )

writing, meta

Well then, hopefully Rubynye will write you the Slade and Dick sequel. *pets*

I'd be happy if she just finished the sequel to "To Conciliate A Tiger" that she's writing.
But if she did a sequel to the thing I did--wow. I'd feel so amazingly honored.

*Perv!Slade smiles...*

He's been like that since last night, hon... you must be doing something right. ^__^

As for how I know if a fic is 'flowing' or not... pretty much what you said. If it feels forced, I usually back off for a while until it feels natural again.

The only thing that'll make me scrap a fic is if I read it and it doesn't sound like the characters to me. Voice is everything.

Nice to know that I have perv!Slade's approval. *smirks*

*nods*
That's why I hadn't worked on those fics for a while; nothing was coming easily.

Yes, it is. Speaking of which, did you read that link I sent you the other day?

hey... uhmm i´m a lurker.. so yeah hee.. uhm i´m writing this because i know that you would never post the story (The "To Conciliate A Tiger" quasi-sequel) without rubynye's permission, but could you please ask her ´cause i would love to see it....

Re: Hmm katarik October 2 2005, 11:28:16 UTC

Hello, mysterious stranger. Nice to meet you.

Certainly I shall ask her. If she says yes, I'd be happy to post it.

From sheer curiousity, why do you not get an l-j? They're free now, after all... *dangles l-j temptingly* And they're so much fun...

Re: Hmm anonymous October 3 2005, 07:30:23 UTC

I don´t really have anything intresting to write so.....

Re: Hmm katarik October 3 2005, 09:03:41 UTC

You think everyone with an l-j is interesting? Pshah! It is to *laugh*.
Besides, maybe you do. Try one and see.

I did indeed ask rubynye, and the fic is posted.

hmm, I just write. I let the story write itsself. And thus there comes one plottwist, then another and I'm just looking at them wondering where the story will end up going. Sometimes I know where it's going but don't know how to get there. So I'll often start a story several different times or start a chapter more than once. ^^' I can show you several different drafts of the beginning of a story that I wrote until it flowed properly. ^^ I'm going to rewrite the second chapter of that story I'm stuck on as soon as I've finished the Roy/Dick one based on Nightwing 111. ^^' You know the one I'm talking about. Damn I wish I had the plot I wrote up for you here...
