Panic About Dead Week = Memage!

Okay, flist, I'm sorry for spamming you. Last post of "today" I promise. (And wow, I think 5 posts in a day is a personal record.)

I wanted to clear out my requested fics, and then I just couldn't pass up this meme:

Gacked from

cornerofmadness.

Give me a kink and a pairing and I'll give you at least a sentence of kink.

Thank you! I went back and forth on that line, because in one sense I really liked the poetry of it, the fact that it mirrors his external life (being in a strange land in Ishbal) but I worried that it was a little too obvious. So I'm really glad that it worked.

So what are you writing? *looks expectently*

You know, I had to look back at your lj to remember what I requested. And then I was like, 'those are good prompts! I can't wait to see what she does with them!' (But no pressure, because as you can see.... it's not like I'm one to talk. And I have one outstanding fic that's... insanely late.)

I remember the first time I actually looked at on of Minukera's drawings of Goku and though, wow, sexy, and thirty seconds later I was like, I'm sorry! I'm so, so sorry!!!!

i have no idea what I'm writing (being at home with the parents right now i'm not writing much of anything but my original fic) sigh. I have ideas for all the requests I have. I've done one here and it's still not sexy (in fact I thnk i've completed three and the Hatori/Ayame is the closest to being dirty)

Oh I know. The stupid monkey is the one telling me those 10 cliche stories. It's like I know you're 18 (well 518) but you act 12. This is breaking my brain

Well, it's really good you're working on original fic - I'm jealous, because I'm finally getting original ideas again and don't seem to have the time to write down much more than a basic outline.

i know. SOmetimes i get mad at my fanfic muses because they take time away from original fic

My main thing is the commments - fanfic will usually get more of a response than original fic, so it gets harder to motivate myself to write something where the payoff is later instead of almost now.

Plus, it's well-nigh impossible for me write original drabbles - all the stories that come into my head are for novels - it's damn frustrating.

oh i don't do original drabbles. I find making marketable short stories very difficult too.

See I'm older than you. Fanfic used to be by mail. I was used to waiting months if at all to hear about a story. I was more motivated to do stuff i could get paid for Though hearing the instant response is lovely

Wow. *mind boggles at the thought of fanfic by mail.*

My problem is I have these novels in my head, and haven't managed to train myself to have the disciple to finish them. I'm getting closer though. And the short stories I write are always a couple thousand words to long to be the prefered short story size, and never depressing enough to make it. I've noticed that most of the fantasy shorts that get published are really freaking depressing.

you know what, I don't actually LIKE short stories all that well.I prefer novel length stories, the only shorts I read are fanfic.

Yep I've been writing fanfic since 77 and started exchanging them in 81 or 82

Yeah, usually with short stories I either don't like them, or like them and wish they were a novel instead. ^_^

Wow. You've been writing fanfic longer than I've been alive. *giggles* Should I have not said that?

yes short stories are too short for me

and eh, i'm USED to being old enough to be a mom to about a fourth of my flist. I was ten in 77

Ah, livejournal. Where generational gaps don't mean a thing. ^_^

it really is rather cool

It think so - especially when it's not just age, but geography. I seem to remember that I have someone one my flist who's in Europe but I could be wrong about that. Anyway, it's just so awesome that you can connect with people by intrest, and for someone who's only lately started finding people my age interesting... I fit in nicely, if I do say so myself.

i have people from all over (I used to in the pen and paper days too). any given night i'm talking to SC, IN, OH, Australia and Malta in YIM
