🖊 Post a snippet from a current WIP.
Okie dokie. Let's see what I've got lying around in Scrivener mobile. Here's the opening from one of my MegaDrift prompts.
This new universe, where death no longer hung over Megatron's head and reminded him of borrowed time at every turn, had been a gift. Now he had all the time he could have ever wanted. However, chasing ghosts of the past for closure was probably not what most mechs would do with this boon.
In their home universe, he imagined that he would simply wait in his cell for the inevitable and take the words with him into whatever oblivion would come next. Now? With a new, more welcome unknown awaiting him, Megatron had a chance to say something he'd kept to himself all these years.
That still meant actually doing it, following through with his intentions.
Megatron tapped the access panel on the door in front of him. The panel flashed green with a cheerful beep as the door to one of the sparring rooms slid open. There was a chance that he had chosen the wrong sparring room. However, given that it was the one records indicated Drift used the most frequently during his downtime, the odds of a mistake were low.
His guess was correct. The noisy static of a practice blade colliding with and passing through a holomatter dummy filled the room. Drift swung high, leaving himself open if the avatar had been instructions beyond standing still. This looked less like practice and more like self-indulgence. Normally, these dummies tended to look like generic medium-sized Cybertronians with indistinct kibble unless programmed otherwise. This one had the misfortune of bearing a strong resemblance to Turmoil, large and broad with dark, heavy plating.
🌝 Who is one character you haven’t yet written for that you would like to?
Well, I was going to say Drift, but I've been trying to write him a bunch for a ship week. He's still p new to me, though.
So, I'm going to say Riptide. I want to write for Riptide because he's awesome and I have no ideas for what to write.
🤔 What is the hardest part of writing fic?
I think the hardest part is the plotting and planning. "How do I make this interesting?" "How do I handle this material sensitively?" "How will it end?"
How to end is the absolute hardest though.
