@anamelessknight submitted: Let’s finish off the fanfic ask with 1, 4, 6
I had to fish out the post bc I couldn’t remember which ask meme woops xD;
1. How do you approach worldbuilding (if it’s an AU) or research (if it’s an established canon)?
Since I almost exclusively write for Xillia, this is pretty easy, since I’ve got a good grasp on its canon worldbuilding due to all the info posts I wrote on it. For headcanon stuff, it’s a mix of coming up with what I like to imagine, and looking up cultural stuff from the relevant regions of the world that could be incorporated. Fantasy settings are cool because you can often just decide to make up stuff, as long as it doesn’t sound too outlandish for the universe, it works :p
4. How does your writing happen? Do you visualize scenes playing out in your head, or do they come out in words as you type?
Yeaaaah, I visualize the scenes too much, and then I don’t know how to write them lol. Sometimes scenes come out in words as I type though. It depends.
6. When you write emotional scenes, do you feel what the characters are feeling?
Kiiinda? Depends on the mood. Sometimes I can get into the mindset, sometimes not at all lol.
