Meme

Stolen from avocado_love:

I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so much talking about stories as it is writing more of a story. But you know how sometimes you read something and you're like, "I got ___ out of this story, I wonder if I have that right?" or "What on earth was ____ supposed to be?" and it's too awkward to ask the author? Now you could totally ask!

I've heard people say that writing is hard because you have to make decisions, but we never really talk about the decisions we make with stories or why we make them. We talk about plot bunnies, but not about how we actually turn them into a story.

And it seems like a lot more fun to do that than to do working.

So, if you wanted, ask me questions! (Or use this to ask your flist to ask you questions).

What were you trying to do [here]? Why did you decide to ____? This is what I thought about xyz, is that what you were going for? What made you write ____? Why did you decide to do this? And so on.

Go nuts. Any fic - even original fiction - is fair game.

I'm sorry to hear about Dramata Kurage. I go back and read it at times and it was very well written,by you and the co-author! its one of my favs! I kind of thought at first, yuki came from your name^^ snow and courage is very pretty! When I first saw Xellos in the anime, i was thinking he was just bothering and using Lina and the gang. I never really thought at the start that he liked her or carried any feelings for her. He is a mazoku so, he's not supposed to have those feelings. Only after reading fanfics and other fan essays and such, did i kind of think okay maybe Xellos thinks of Lina differently. I thought he would use her for her power but I know that he expressed interest in her differently than any other human he came across. He was impressed by her power as other mazoku are and was trying to get her to join them. thank you though!
