9, 26 & 30 😘😘

9. Thoughts on cliffhangers.

LIKE as a person who doesn't write multi chapters (well. apparently now i write them but i write it all as one fic anyway more on that later) i have a hard time writing them and as a reader they aren't my favorite thing (i also rarely read fics that are unfinished bc i am Annoying™ so i don't encounter them often) but i think they are a great tool. like. people need to stay engaged! they need to want to come back! so, fuck it! hook 'em!

but also don't do that to me

26. What would you describe as OOC?

HMM. i am picky about characterization (no one is surprised about this!!!) and so honestly i feel like the things i would describe as OOC occur mostly in dialogue, rather than action. i can justify most actions, but when i don't feel like the characters sound like themselves, i get pulled out of a story pretty quickly. 0 idea if this answers this question, but! here you go

30. Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

lmfao like. all of my fics! i was just looking through my orphaned fics folder earlier too and hmm. ok so here's one: when the promo for 3x14 first dropped, i hadn't written a chenford fic yet – but i really wanted to and i had a few ideas for things that week, one of which was a "5 times chenford dance" fic that was fully planned, but never actually materialized in time for the episode. i still have the draft but it will be so much better to actually see it than write about it 😂

talk shop tuesday: do you outline do you throw words at the wall or do you do a combination of the two when you write 👀 AND does it differ based on the type of fic you’re writing.

omg hi! i have never gotten one of these before hehe so thank you for sending my fave irate viewer!!! perfect timing bc i am Procrastinating™!!!!!

soooo honestly it very much depends on what i'm writing. if i'm in the zone and have A Big Idea, i outline - my outlines also vary depending on what's happening, but usually i like to have a broad strokes idea of where my story is going...plus if i have any dialogue thoughts, i'll jot those down. now that i am thinking about it i really never write down descriptors or interior thoughts directly into an outline, but there will be little lines here or there that i know i want to fit in. sometimes my outlines get too intense, and in a lot of those instances i have to hold myself back bc i'll just be. writing fic into an outline, which thereby makes writing the fic itself less fun. but either way, your girl loves a good outline.

if i'm writing like...a oneshot that's not long, i usually just say fuck it we ball and go in. there are some times (esp when i'm writing an idea that came from @timlucys brain) that i'll keep little notes, but that's usually just to remind me of the beats i want to hit or the specifics of the idea. normally with stuff like that, tho, i just go. i can't stop myself or i just start writing and then i have 5,000 words in front of me and i don't know what day it is. i remember a hand to take hold of the scene being this way 😂

but ya, tl;dr, i am an outline bitch unless i physically cannot have enough patience or care do so, in which case i am a "hey! sorry i disappeared for a few hours but i wrote an entire fic!" bitch.
