@anefi them…the boys

[sterekshaven]

ooh for the WIP meme: I'm so curious about Mitch! Ever since AA came out I love the idea of Stiles growing up and calling himself Mitch (short for Mieczysław, of course!) in, you know, certain circles... but it is also great if he (and derek??) MEET this badass Mitch who looks -- remarkably like Stiles, really, hmmmmm :D

Thank you! I already got an ask about Mitch, so I’m giving you another snippet from it xD I really like the idea of him going by Mitch too, and the whole doppelganger badass Mitch thing, but I’m sorely lacking in imagination and skills to write the doppelganger thing, soooo... without actually spoiling anything I’m totally spoiling it, if you read the other snippet too xD Anyway, have the very first paragraph from the Mitch WIP!

Derek was more nervous about meeting John’s son than he felt he should be. John had talked about Stiles, of course he had, but Derek had never met him during the eight months he had known John, only ever seen a couple of old photos of a kid with a buzzcut, and then John randomly asked if he wanted to come to dinner with them when Stiles was home for spring break.

Derek said yes, of course, and then he suddenly and irrationally got nervous about it.

anefi a réagi à votre billet : Ugh, I hate when I finish a ficlet but I’m...

there’s a post going around with writing advice that is basically, “print out your first draft and retype it in a new document.” Sort of re-digesting it like that really helps me identify what’s bothering me; maybe that will help?

or if it’s more structural, try talking out the plot with someone, maybe, even if just a rubber ducky, stuffed animal, or chair, to get the words into the open.

Publish it? Honestly I lile everything you write so I think it could be awesome even if it was just your grocery list(???)

Ahh, thank you guys :)

@anefi I think that’s some sound advice. Sometimes I do something similar to that: I’ll close out of the doc on my laptop and go start rewriting it from memory on my iPad. Usually the iPad version will be better. Idk what it is about writing fic on my iPad, but it tends to turn out better than if I type it on my laptop. Maybe because the iPad forces me to type a little more slowly, but I’m not sure. 

Anyway, I did that with this fic, starting over from a dif. character’s POV. Ultimately I realized it wasn’t really a POV problem. I think it’s more like, I’m just not feeling it emotionally and it feels a bit rushed. Maybe that’s just me. Maybe readers would like it better than I do. At this point I think the way I would fix it would be to expand the fic, but I just want to be done with it, so. Maybe I will just post it as is and see what people think.

Put it up on a projector(do you still use those? I'm old) and let the class tear him apart. Also stay strong! Hopefully he becomes the next John Bobbitt

I would except tomorrow is the last day of class and they’re workshopping the next(final) paper. It will literally be the last time I see his face, though, so I take some comfort from that. anefi replied to your post “Hey could you guys send me nice things for a while, I am currently...”

you can squash him a little bit! if the essay's crap then it is literally your job, even though I know it is so draining to give assholes that that even five seconds of your time. stay strong!

I like your style, but I am holding onto my moral high ground by the skin of my teeth here. eak1mouse replied to your post “Hey could you guys send me nice things for a while, I am currently...”

Ooh geez. Best of luck to you. You have to make it though or this dude wins. You got this.

OK, this was literally exactly what I needed to hear to get this done. Thanks! bbcphile replied to your post “Hey could you guys send me nice things for a while, I am currently...”

*all the hugs *

Thanks, boo. moggiesandtea replied to your post “Hey could you guys send me nice things for a while, I am currently...”

Deploy the red pen

Alas, I grade in blue. I was doing it to be less....evocative of blood....but now I regret that choice

prowlcoswave otp question: who reads Whirwind Romances (TM), and who writes their own not at ALL similar stories staring suspiciously familiar characters? :D

this made me laugh out loud ty

Soundwave is currently the only one who has actually read Whirlwind Romances(TM). Cosmos doesn’t know it exists, and Prowl received a very, very biased introduction to Decepticon literature by way of having to be in the heads of the guys who hated the outcome of the original so much they went and wrote their own (awful) versions, including a sequel starring him.

Buuuut, I don’t think Soundwave is talented/confident/interested enough to take a stab at his own twist on a whirlwind romance :<

He probably daydreams about it, though. A lot.

"What the hell are we supposed to do with a farm," Rumble said.

Send me an ask with the first sentence of a fanfic and I’ll write the next five.

“Yeah.” Frenzy glanced over his shoulder, then punctuated the statement by knocking over the nearest a-frame signboard, which was advertising 10% off the restaurant’s poke bowls for residents of the town’s newest overpriced apartment complex. “You don’t know how to farm.”

“No one said you were invited,” Laserbeak said snidely, Soundwave shook his head.

“Sanctuary: for all.”

head canon game! when Tyrest triggers the killswitch, we see that Ravage was cold constructed (and Blaster, which--maybe there's a story there). I feel like some tower bot intended Ravage to be a spy or, worse, a pet, and that plan backfired spectacularly basically the moment he opened his eyes.

Send me a headcanon and I'll elaborate on that headcanon

Oh!!!

I have so many questions about the way CC bots were made...were their sparks just thrown into a body or was there some involvement on the part of a blacksmith? Would it be possible for upper class mechs to commission a CC bot (in this case) to be pet? Or does someone like Rossum come back into the waiting room and go ‘sorry guys but this one’s gonna be a triplechanger uhhh come back next week’.

Regardless! I have no doubt that someone, at some point, tried to keep Ravage as a pet. Like, they probably got killed as soon as Ravage figured out that’s something he can do, but I feel in my heart that’s something that happened to him. He clearly enjoys receiving affection in typical ‘cat ways’, since both Soundwave and Megs pet/hold him the way you might a cat, but only on his terms, and does not tolerate strangers touching him. Based on his dialogue in the comic, I have a hc that he got a job serving drinks and eventually that got to be too much, too, so he ended up in the Dead End after that, and from there he met the birds, and then Soundwave.

4 and 21!

meta asks!

4. Share a sentence or paragraph from your writing that you’re really proud of (explain why, if you like)

idk if this is gonna make it into a published fic, but! family as an obscure word!

It wasn’t a word he heard often—among hardline Ratioists and Functionists, it was very nearly a synonym for the AVL itself. He had heard more than one joke about the word in Kaon Security Services, muttered by an officer as a skiv made a call to his roommates.

21. What other medium do you think your story would work well as? (film, webcomic, animated series?)

I will accept nothing less than a prowlcoswave 20 season network tv slowburn >_>

Alternatively, I think a webcomic might be Neat!
