(Picture in standard resolution and full resolution) [text only version] [audio version by dyingfiction, one of the writers here] Based on a dyingfiction’s idea of what they call “surgery”. Only, instead of doing it with only one writer’s stuff, I wanted to try to do it with two writers’. I asked for their permission and they both agreed to let me do it. I’m grateful for that! These two genuinely wonderful writers are : - writingsforwinter
- dyingfiction
I think their works share some similarities (I’m unable to explain though) but they have completely different styles! Even though I did add some words here and there, it’s basically both of their works. I quite literally did surgery. Let me explain: I first printed some of their last pieces and highlighted the phrases or bits of phrases who had the most impact on me. I then cut them with a scalpel. (yes, a scalpel, which is much more useful/handy than any box cutter/Stanley knife or even paper knife, at least for me…) I typed them on photoshop, selected what I wanted to “smash” in the process and put them side by side on a blank picture or whatever it’s called. From that, I just ‘wove’ their words (as writingsforwinter called it ; I like this term, ‘weave’) and made that thing. Honestly, I had no idea what I was doing and how it was going to turn out and I was even surprised by the final result! Anyway, it’s my first time doing that kind of things and I really enjoyed doing it!
