Here are the answers to the writing meme! Note that some of the fics are on the smuttier side and so quotes from them may be NSFW.

This is absolutely fascinating. I'm especially fond of your analysis of the Montparnasse/Javert one, everything came across so clearly and it worked so well.

Edited to add: also, reading the sausage for things I've never read by you, makes me want to go and read them now.

Gosh, thank you! I don't know how much is hindsight, but oh well. *g*

[holyfant]

So interesting! :D

[miss_morland]

I'm glad you think so! I feel like I've been gazing at my own navel for hours, haha. *g*

great fun to read -- thanks for putting in all that work. For the stories I'm familiar with, I think you pick great lines to illustrate the characterization.

[miss_morland]

Thank you! I felt a bit weird about spending so much time analysing my own stuff, but maybe it'll help me improve, and I'm glad if it can be of interest to others as well. :-)

How do you want readers to react to this fic?
With their pants? Haha.

What did you want them to take away from it?
That Javert is fucked-up and repressed and also well-endowed, that being buggered =/= being "pwnd", and that Montparnasse needs to be paired with everyone.

Yes good successful.

Yay, sausage, I like your thoughts.

[miss_morland]

Mwahaha, mission accomplished! *rubs hands together*

Now I just need to get better at taking the time to analyse other people's fics when feedbacking...

This was really interesting - thank you for taking the time to explore these stories and explain your thoughts! I really enjoy your writing and it is interesting to see your thought process.

Thanks, I'm glad you found it interesting! (Still can't get over the navel-gaze feeling, heh.)
