I can't think where to begin in making a list of story recommendations from the bsg_remix so far. They've been so great! Go read for yourself
( Read more... )
tbh, I don't always analyze. But I was talking character archetypes with Prozac this morning, or whenever. And I could possibly go on at length about boxes and such.
you should re-ask this poll when I'm not doing a rewrite/editing pass on a Big Bang fic.... because, right now? ANALYZING MY WRITING CAN SUCK IT!!!! :P
Since I've never written anything terribly long, I haven't had to self-edit that much. It's just as well--I'd only be depressed by how often I use the words rather and just.
It's interesting. I am interested in exploring my own writing. I look at it a lot myself. I just am not as interested in deep exploration of my writing with others unless I know them well or they are betaing a story for me.
Like I like comments after a story is done, but I don't want to get soooo deeply involved in how I write, like how I come up with ideas and how they get born and whatever. I guess I don't always need that sort of analysis. Except when I'm really stuck on a story. Then I need all kinds of help but even then once others and I have sort of turned the story inside out a zillion times, I dunno, it loses something for me. I barely want to look at it once it's completed for a long while. Over time, I forget how I wrote it and I do like that, the forgetting. It's almost like looking at story someone else wrote. I like that objectivity.
Heh. Even this comment is a bit too analytical for me. Interesting!
Reading this comment, I think we're actually fairly close on the spectrum of love/hate analyzing fic. Like you, I don't really want to do much close analysis while I'm writing, unless I need to get unstuck. And it's fun when I can wait long enough and feel objective about a story, then reread it.
Heh. Even this comment is a bit too analytical for me. Interesting! Okay, so maybe we're not that close on the spectrum. ;-)
