Open to the floor - Associations meme
Aug. 22nd, 2009 11:48 amA little meme to distract me.
Comment with a character/pairing and I'll tell you what song/poem/piece of art brings them strongly to mind for me. If it's music, I'll try and link to a version on youtube, as well as the lyrics.
I have a lot of associations but not all characters have them, so I might be boring, but you might also learn about new and exciting things. Ask me as many as you want/are curious about. And you might find some new music!

Musing: writing - Microfic
Apr. 25th, 2009 06:10 pmI like writing within tinytiny limitations. That's why I like writing drabbles and shortfics so much. It appeals to a part of me that likes choosing exactly the right words and being so very, very precise. I've just started a twitter account here for fics that are only 140 characters long. That's going to be a challenge: to say something different each time, to capture moments fully in just that short space.
Personally, I probably find writing longer fic more of a challenge. Keeping my attention on it, for one thing, but also just making it long enough to contain a full plot. I'm better at moments in time.
Do you like the challenge? Think it's pointless? Like to read the results, but wouldn't like to try? What's the shortest thing you've ever written.

Oct. 8th, 2008 06:49 pmSo, thanks to reading genderswitch fic in the Supernatural fandom, I have this strange bunny for The Dark Is Rising. It starts with Will showing up on Bran's doorstep, still in his male clothes, after some kind of problem to do with his work for the Light -- some mythical artefact, perhaps: I haven't got my copy of the Mabinogion here with me, but somewhere during that, Math fab Mathonwy uses a wand to change someone's shape and gender all at once. So something along those lines. And he's obviously changed gender. Didn't dare go home to his parents -- oh, they'd be kind, he knows that, but they wouldn't understand. Not that Bran would understand, either, really, but it's different with Bran. And he's right, Bran lets him in, somehow knows not to ask too many questions. Makes him a cup of tea.
There's awkward moments at bedtime -- Bran assumes they'll share a room like always, and then remembers, and blushes hard (you can see it so well when he blushes because he has such fair skin, and Will knows he hates it) and tries to make Will have his bed while he sleeps on the sofa. Will says they can sleep just like always, but he makes Bran go out of the room while he changes.
And then, of course, it's been a while and Will's not changing back, and he gets his period and he just wants to die. And Bran discovers that he does have masculine urges about looking after women after all, and he wants to take care of him. And Will snaps at him for this because, fuck, he's not a girl.
And then they make up, and there's hugs, and Bran thought that would make it just like always except he's noticing how soft Will is against him, and even the smell of Will's hair, and oh, god, this is changing everything.
And so on...

Musing: general - Fickinks
May. 9th, 2008 10:20 amLet's talk about fickinks! By which I mean, plots or situations in fics that never fail to interest you. Actually, there are some examples of mine in the actual text of some fandoms, which makes me happy. But I still call them fickinks. I've got some fandom specific ones and three or four main general ones (and then, under the cut, the actual sex-related kinks!).
Absolute loyalty
The best example of this is Juubei, from GetBackers. He believes he was born to protect Kazuki. He'd give up anything and everything for the sake of Kazuki. There's also Simon, from Firefly, who canonically gives up everything he has for his sister's sake -- using up all his (considerable!) fortune, leaving the job he loves, turning the rest of his family against him, losing everything he has, and going to get her out of the Academy.
(Partner) betrayal
I love, for some reason, reading about (or mostly roleplaying) betrayal. Mostly partner betrayal, although Juubei's canonical betrayal of Kazuki slays me too. There's just something really interesting about someone turning on the person that they're supposed to be devoted to.
And let's face it, I really like reading about the whole desperation of "we shouldn't be together, I'm married".
I suppose "we shouldn't be together, but to hell with that for this one time" is a sort of subset of this. Although it may be caused by other factors than partner betrayal.
Blindness
I really don't know why, but a sighted character becoming blind is something that really interests me. Again, canonically, Juubei ends up blinded as a result of his betrayal of and loyalty to Kazuki, which is possibly why he's one of my favourite characters ever.
Psychicness
This isn't really a main fickink, but I do love it when someone gets the power to know more than they should know. River, canonically, is awesome for this. I've also played psychic!Simon (several times), mindreading between "soulmates", and psychic!Barney. It's fun to try and imagine what it, realistically, would be like.
The idea of someone in the real world being psychic creeps me out like you wouldn't believe, though.
Mindfuck
The fact that I nearly always write Seifer as having been controlled and/or severely manipulated by Ultimecia sort of speaks for itself.
Firefly-specific
Simon with guns. When Simon goes against the Hippocratic Oath, there's got to be something really interesting going on in his head. The three times he takes up weapons in the course of the series (the pilot, War Stories and in the movie) really, really interest me. Of course, he doesn't really go through with shooting anyone (unless he gets some Reavers in Serenity, but I don't actually think so). So I love fic where he does.
This would possibly apply to any character who for some reason shouldn't have a gun, whether they're pacifist or a medic.
The Dark Is Rising
Barney being prescient. The last time I reread, I went through and noted all kinds of places where he seems to sense more than the others do. And of course, in Greenwitch he actually scrys. I like exploring the idea that when he grows up, he can control the scrying or he becomes stronger in it or whatever.
( Smut fickinks! (No real details, just a list) )
So now you all know how to push my buttons.
I say all this because I'm interested. Who else has fickinks? What are they? As much/as little explanation as you like. Does anyone else have a weird liking for putting guns in a doctor's hands?

You guys may have noticed that not much by way of fic activity, other than me finishing up the first kisses I owed, has been going on. Not even a fic to do list. I'm kind of bored of all the ideas on my last fic to do list, and I haven't come up with any new ones, unfortunately.
I've also been wanting to write something long. You know, something like Loyalty, or even In a Dark World or Quest. Something I can work on over weeks, rather than hours. Unfortunately, no songs are jumping out and catching me by the throat and demanding I write plotty fics for them!
I've been thinking about doing a sequel to Loyalty, but honestly, I like it standing as it is -- any sequel would be almost bound to bring pairings into it. I was quite discouraged by how few people were interested in a Simon/Will sequel, but I don't want to do a Will/Bran sequel just because people would prefer it. The main thing I envisaged was Simon following Will in an attempt to help him, to atone for being an idiot in the earlier chapters of Loyalty, and Bran following Will as a matter of course, which I could write as gen easily, but... Eh.
So... is there anything anyone would like to see me try? Right now I mostly feel like Firefly and The Dark Is Rising, but I'm open to anything that gets me writing. There are all sorts of pairings I'd like to write longfic for, and genfic is fine too, but I haven't actually got any plot. Suggestions should be more along the lines of "Will/Bran, Will is blinded" (which is, of course, where In A Dark World came from) rather than "Simon/Will, how they get together", or it won't do me any good.
Help?
Note: This isn't a request post, per se, so whatever you suggest may get somewhat twisted to something I'd prefer writing.

Suggestions should be more along the lines of "Will/Bran, Will is blinded" (which is, of course, where In A Dark World came from) rather than "Simon/Will, how they get together", or it won't do me any good.
Help?
Note: This isn't a request post, per se, so whatever you suggest may get somewhat twisted to something I'd prefer writing.
Open to the floor: what next?
Dec. 23rd, 2007 02:26 amSince I'm having some trouble choosing what I want to work on next, I want to see what you might most want. So, voila, a poll. These are all longer fics, from my writing to do list (here) -- not the shorter fics/drabbles.

Open to the floor: meme

If you had me under your command and could make me write anything, regardless of whether or not I know the fandom or if anybody even writes fic in that fandom and no matter how crack-addled it might be, what would you love to see me write?
It's not exactly a request post, but if you suggest something and I think "oh, wow, I'd love to write that..." ;)
