arrrghefpjzefgipo I want to waffle about asking if I should be writing a fic but I don't want to be all whiny and attention begging about it when the likelihood of it ever coming into being as an actual fic with an ending is pretty low. Should perhaps update my writing filter for that sort of shit, I dunno.




i too self-conscious :/

? If writing whatever you're thinking about sounds like fun to you, then sure. Write the scene you want to write and to hell with everything else! :D

actual fics with endings bah, I say.

It's not a scene kind of thing, it's a story kind of thing. With plots. And chapters.


And I know it's bad and shit, but frankly, I write for the comments, not for myself. If it's for myself, I'm content with just imagining stuff without needing to get in the nitty-bitty, painstaking details.

Aaaaah, I get you. :/ Sorry. (There's a reason I don't write chapetered fic.)

The plot part complicates things... hm. I do have an idea, but it's probably what I'd do, and I have no idea whether it'd work for what you have in mind, because I know my attention span would never let me write an epic: write it in snippet form. Post a chronological outline, and write what you're interested and skip the boring parts. A bit like glymr and iesika did for Kings Among Runaways. Or post a chronological outline, and poke your flist for the things they'd most like to see, like suzukiblu does at white_knuckle.

I don't think it's bad to write/post for comments. I post the stuff I write for the same reason. I love writing, but I also love knowing that other people enjoy the stuff I come up with, you know? Especially when it's something long.
