what the hell, have a meme

[meretricula]

lol no1curr but whatever, could be fun!

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.

So, if you wanted, ask me 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.

ganked from a bunch of different people. ficlist is here if you're curious. :)

This is probably something I should already know, but where were you on the whle Rafa/Nole ship when you wrote i think I heard that line once in a beatles song? Because to me that's a seriously adorably Rafa/Nole fic, but the romantic ship is fedal. If that makes sense?

Hey! I was just reading we both go down together again and it got me thinking. Your female characters are so well defined, they're actually real people as opposed to the 2-D characters that you see a lot in this fandom. Do you write them with this intention in mind? Your Xisca in particular is wonderful.

Also I was just curious, as someone in the middle of ship jumping from fedal to rafa/nole, was there a particular moment that made you think of them as an otp?
