I’ve written fan fic for over ten years, read it for far longer than that, and realize the power of words for authors, especially feedback. Not all writers want or welcome concrit, others do. Some don’t appreciate anything other than the continual squee from their readers, telling them how they are writing fandom classics. I believe that if you find an author you trust, especially to read something new on your horizon, you should hold them close and never let them go. I say this because I feel the need to rant and vent.

Because I apparently have nothing else to do since I've faffed off all day and spent my day shoe shopping online:

Ask me up to three questions.

1. What made you start writing fanfic?
2. Which of your own fanfics have you reread the most?
3. Describe the differences between your first fanfic and your most recent fanfic.
4. Do you think your style has changed over time? How so?
5. You've posted a fic anonymously. How would someone be able to guess that you'd written it?
6. Name three stories you found easy to write.
7. Name three stories you found difficult to write.
8. What's your ratio of hits to kudos?
9. What do your fic bookmarks say about you?
10. What's a theme that keeps coming up in your writing?
11. What kind of relationships are you most interested in writing?
12. For E-rated fic, what are some things your characters keep doing? I don't write E-rated fic.
13. Name three favorite characters to write.
14. You're applying for the fanfic writer of the year award. What five fanfics do you put in your portfolio?
15. Question of your choice!

Current Mood: anxious

I spent ten years writing fic. Novel length fic, shorter works, dark fic, sex in fic, even some comedy. And then I quit. I haven't written a thing non-school, non-professional related since. I still read fic, but it seems I'm unable to string words together in any meaningful way for anything other than work. I have no idea if I'll ever write again. I've been thinking a lot about it, and it bothers me. On the upside, Neil Gaiman is offering a writing master class, so there's always that.

so, sogopro, aka southern gothic productions, is running a creative writing contest for four weeks starting last tuesday 9/8 with one winner a week.

guess who was week one's winner? and yes, i am still doing the happy, happy dance of joy over my two hundred words located here:

Current Mood: ecstatic

it's a grey, overcast day which perfectly mirrors my mood. it's the last day of my break, and i'm back in the classroom tomorrow for that last, frenzied push to the end of the year. i should probably think about what i'm doing tomorrow...eh, later. i'd rather think about what i'm making for dinner tonight and what i might be taking for lunch tomorrow.

right now i'm sitting here losing my voice. never a good thing when you are narrating slldeshows for an online class you're putting together. who thought this would be a good idea, again? yep, that was me. stoooooooooooooooooooooopid. *bangsheadondesk*

also thinking about maybe signing up for the remix again this year. i enjoyed it the last (and only) time i did it. and since i don't feel like writing any fic for my fandom/forum to post, why not?

feel free to give me a reason, though. :)

Current Mood: tired
Current Music: the droning of my own voice

so jpmorgan chase posted a 2.1 billion dollar profit for the first quarter after charging off six billion in bad loans and after taking twenty-five billion in bailout bucks. meanwhile, unemployment went over six million, with my state leading the charge with the highest jump in numbers of claims. the numbers boggle.

besides that, i can't get my markup/cut tags to work and am tired of *bangingmyheadonmydesk*.

so i am sorely in need of some reading material, as i'm tired of writing curriculum and the online course, fic or otherwise; any reccs/suggestions?

Current Mood: apathetic
Current Music: birds chirping
