7, 12, 35 and 68 for fic meme :)
Thank you!!
7. Post a snippet from a wip.
Paul heard the river before he saw it. A deep, watery rush; hundreds and hundreds of tonnes of meltwater, silt, stones, all shifting slowly towards the Indian Ocean. The Ganges was already broad, even high up on the edge of the mountains as they were, and as they stumbled down onto the stony beach the lights of the town on the far shore twinkled like distant stars.
12. Do you outline your fics? If yes, how detailed are your outlines? How far do you stray from them?
Hmm...it depends! I'm not a natural outliner, but sometimes I do know that a story is beyond my capability to successfully pants all the way through, so I will attempt to outline. Usually it ends up being a vague mishmash of sketchy scenes with bits of dialogue or moments that I definitely want to include. But sometimes I feel like it makes the actual writing process harder? Like I'm putting roadblocks in the way of my natural flow. Maybe I'll get better with practice.
35. What’s your favorite fic you’ve posted?
Weirdly, even though it's very short, I really like At Tittenhurst Park - I think I achieved exactly what I wanted to achieve with it and I really like the atmosphere.
68. Are there any fics that influenced you to write the way you do?
Oh, yes! This is going way WAY back into past fandoms but one fic that's really stuck with me for years has been Seeds by thesardine, which I think is a perfect example of how to write something full of character with a really light touch that's so enjoyable to read. That's what I aspire to, anyway!
If we're talking smut, this Generation Kill fic is the pinnacle for me. The transgression! The boundary-pushing! The deliciously physical descriptions! I wish every one of my fics could be this perfectly hot.
