YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR WRITERS' BLOCK?

THIS:

1. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like

Problem is, when you're writing drabbles out of songs like this, that it's very easy to kinda lose the spark and some will become very boring, or you will repeat yourself. That was definitely not the case here, I have to admit that I found them all sorta hot. I can't pick a favorite. Or, maybe the last one. I don't know. They're awesome, all of them. I found myself wanting fictions and scenarios I haven't even thought of. I'm so up for the whole gang being vampires and Georgie nagging about wanting to be one too. Even without slash or pairings at all.

♥ Thank you! I was a little worried about it getting formulaic, because I don't have much practice with drabbles in the first place and when you only have ~5 minutes to write each one, I thought it might limit my chances of coming up with new ideas. But it wasn't as bad as I thought!! I'm glad you enjoyed them.

Especially the vampire one because I really do want to write that, haha. I think I'd have to throw in a pairing or two but I don't know what, exactly...*ponders*

OMG, the Anna/Georgie drabble is precious!

[likecharity]

:D Thank you!

[likecharity]

Lol! Idk, doing this really seemed to help because you don't have to stick with one idea for very long, if that makes sense. It kinda forces you to just hurry up and get something out and not dither over it.

I'm glad you liked them. ♥ Especially the vampire one 'cause I'm seriously considering expanding on that...

LET ME JUST TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU FOR WRITING MY TWO FAVORITE SHIPS IN ONE POST.
The Ben/Georgie. The age issue! Oh geez, this is weird, because I only wrote that soapboxing comment in the other post's thread a few minutes ago! And I genuinely do love that you covered that issue. It's a great way to start - right at the beginning, instead of dropping it anvil-sized and unexpectedly into the middle of a fic, having never mentioned it in previous fics for that ship. Sort of like clearing the air?

I'm not usually into Will/Skandar, but the second drabble is adorable, NGL. And I like the way Skandar is analyzing their relationship in the fourth.

BAWWW the Anna/Georgie is very sweet. I like that it can be interpreted as a friendship-fic but that you chose to indicate the pairing right above the fic.

Ngh the Ben/Anna fic gave me chills. Trust. Yes, that's it.

OMFG THE SIZE OF THAT TEXT *hides*

:D I love this comment, thank youuu. I'm glad you liked them.

Though I'm now really enjoying the idea of Georgie having SUDDEN SEXUAL FEELINGS FOR BEN because of Dorian Gray, I also kinda have a soft spot for her crushing on him all along. And she WOULD be the type not to give up, and keep trying to persuade him it was okay. (I also think she'd be the type to, at 14, kiss a way older man without thinking of the consequences, lol.) God, I want to write more of them

[iamshunpike]

I wrote this by responding to stuff in the wrong order and now i have to edit it so it's in order with your comment. urgh.

I also think she'd be the type to, at 14, kiss a way older man without thinking of the consequences, lol.
YES YES YES that is exactly how I see her. Actually I read a J/G fic like that once, where it's even reciprocated, and he watches her growing up (not in a creepy way, I swear) and ends up leaving his wife Anne-Marie for Georgie. AND ANNE-MARIE ENDS UP ALL ALONE. (I TALK MORE ABOUT ANNE-MARIE AND SHIPPING LATER IN HERE BTW.)
...And then I didn't add it to my memories, so I can't link you to it. URGH I SHALL LOOK NOW.

ADDING YOU. If that's okay?
IT IS SO OKAY. :D :D I'll add you too. :)
I just might want to lock some of the more... TMI RL posts on my journal before I do. Emphasis on TMI :/

but, you know. I ran out of time. That's the problem with these.I KNOW I've tried this exercise before (but without being prompted by a meme) and it worked out weird, since I'm almost always so long winded. So many

[katakokk]

asdjfkl ;jdf THE LAST DRABBLE. You did not. You did not! You did not make Skandar cry. *wibbles* I don't know if I can deal with this. Now I want to know why he cried. WHY?

[likecharity]

Omg how am I only just seeing this. APOLOGIES.

It came from the lyrics, IDK MAN I'M SORRY. In my head, it was like an argument he was having with Will on the phone or something.

[katakokk]

Hahahaha, no, it's kind of great, because Skandar would be the type to be like, "Not going to cry, I will not cry, I never cry," so the crying, while extremely sad, is a little bit awesome too. And awww, arguments with Will. D:

[likecharity]

SO TRUE. It was totally just put in there because there's a couple of lyrics in the song about it, but then after I wrote it I was like wait, CAN I ACTUALLY EVEN IMAGINE SKANDAR CRYING?? I definitely see him as the type to bottle it all up, but then it'd have to come out at some point...
