We Talk Stuff

Jesse Coder and Matt Guion of extremely minor Internet quasi-relevance talk about whatever catches their (and your) fancy.

We are going to be starting up a podcast soon. Watch this space for more details. We are hoping to have iTunes support up and running as soon as we can. If you have ideas for topics of discussion, or if you have questions that you’d like to answer, you can submit them here.

Happy listening!

1, 4, 9, 10, 14.

1. What is your favorite fic you have under your belt?

Jesse, do you realize I’m a woman with 82 still accessibly-published fics to her name??? Even just limiting to Harry Potter, there’s still like, 70! Every time I think I have one, I see another one and go, “Ooo, but!”

Okay. Favorite. Not worked hardest on, not proudest of, not most intricate. Favorite. Yeah, still gonna cheat and give you, like, three.

From the Desk of Minerva McGonagall - I had a lot of fun with this one. The prompt was “Minerva’s owl has starting feigning an injury whenever the name Weasley is mentioned.”

What Always Has Been - I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t pick a Neville one, and this is my favorite of those. An exploration of his friendship with Ginny. Well, the most in-depth on, any way.

Widgets and Whatnots - Not Harry Potter. A cross over story between Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium and The Night Circus, two things you may never have heard of but that totally fit in the same universe and I’m having so much fun writing when I get spare seconds. WIP. 

4. Do you prefer writing long or short fics?

My version of short fics. So they’re still like 8k-10k, but they’re one-shots because I am so horrible at getting multi-chapter stories updated in a timely fashion.

9. What’s the fic you like the least?

Any of my early early stuff. I’ve taken the bulk of it down (you’re welcome), but I’ve left the story that got me my initial fanbase up for nostalgia reasons. I won’t link to it, but gee whiz is it not very good. I cringe every time I get notifications on it, like, no, why are you reading that? I’m a much better writer now. 

10. What would you change if you had it all to do again?

I would not bend character’s basic characterizations to fit my plot, that’s for sure. And I would be more disciplined about my WIPs.

14. What’s your favorite shipping fic you’ve written? Favorite gen fic?

Well, I love to write ships that people don’t usually think about but could still totally be canon, like Vita Perseverat, my Luna/Dean story because I SHIP IT SO HARD. I’m also a fan of my entire body of Rose/Scorpius stories, because based on the reality that we know really nothing about either of them, there are so many different directions to take them, and I’ve done most of those. I also love my Founders Salazar/Helga story, From Valley Broad and Fen. Don’t knock it til you try it.

For gen stories, It Doesn’t Always Roar, my Neville and the Sorting Hat story is, naturally, a favorite. I’m also very proud of The Exceptional Mr. Weasley and His Approximation of Obedience, for the title alone but also because I feel like I got a really good handle on what I wanted to write with that one. And of course, I have to plug Pieces: A Story Cycle, my massive Next-Gen undertaking.

And we are back. Specifically, we are back every other Wednesday.

Top five things? You mean besides Neville Longbottom, Neville Longbottom, Neville Longbottom, Neville Longbottom, and Neville Longbottom? Okay, in all seriousness, I'd go with Neville, War of the Feels, glorious overthinking of many things, the theatre, and "Of course."

Of course.

And actually, I think your first one was more accurate. :) Here’s to more glorious overthinking of Neville Longbottom, sorry no, that’s not possible many things!

[codedlockfilms]

I feel like I should put this in multiple places.
