I've seen this meme float around Tumblr (no, I still don't have an account, but I check out the Tumblrs of my fandom friends every so often), so why not import it to LJ/DW as well? Ask me any of these, and I'll reply in comments; I'll ask you in return, if you like.

General:    1. Do you read fic? Do you write fic ( Read more... )

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.

From Sath:

One of the most helpful words of advice my first creative writing teacher gave me was this: “Sometimes, people don’t want to see how the sausage was made.”

Naturally, what he was really talking about was art. Good writing does not make itself evident; rather, a well-composed work hides its bones. The pains (and joys) of composition ( Read more... )

It is still January, which means it's not too late, after all.

Here's a list of the fic I wrote last year, sorted by fandom:

Finally I'm getting around to doing a 2011 fic summary. (I've enjoyed reading other people's, though I've been lousy at commenting lately -- sorry!) Normally I wouldn't have bothered to list drabbles/ficlets, but I wrote so few of them last year that I decided they deserved a place in the summary, too.)

I'd really love to get what I requested from halotolerant, so I'm reposting this meme:

The first TEN people to comment get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing.* In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level.

* Caveat -- it has to be a fandom that I'm at least somewhat familiar ( Read more... )

Happy New Year, flist! (Never too late, eh?)

First of all, I'd like to rec the lovely gift I received in the rarepair_shorts Winter Exchange:  And the Lies, Well, He Clutched Them Close to His Heart (Snape/Lockhart from McGonagall's POV). The story does a fine job of mixing humour and sadness, and there are lots of funny, Snape-y lines.

Then there's the fic roundup ( Read more... )

Thanks for the kind comments on my last post! *hugs flist* You have no idea how much they warmed my heart.

There's a sort of meme going around, where people list the Snape pairings they've written. Now, I'm not interested in the most popular Snape ships, and I have no trouble believing that the Snape we meet in canon has never been in a relationship ( Read more... )

Happy International Women's Day, everyone! I hope it's been a good one.

Here's the characters meme that was going around some weeks ago. I'm slow like a slow thing, which is why I didn't get around to doing it until now. But better late than never, right?

All HP, as my other fandoms don't have nearly as many characters.
