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?

haha excellent question! um, I think I jumped ships while writing it, to be honest. because I really did intend it to be a fedal fic, and then I got to the end and I was like, fuck this, Novak would be a way better boyfriend. XD which is good because I like writing Novak way better than I like writing Roger! I think I had noticed that Novak was not actually the bastard he is in fic by that point, because hello Rome trophy ceremony, but Rafa/Nole had not yet supplanted Rafa/Roger as my main tennis 'ship.
