Feb. 13th, 2020 12:50 pmgetyourwordsout posted a list of writing process questions:1. Do you write your first draft by hand, or digitally?
Digitally. My handwriting's never been good enough I can consistently read it a week later, nor can I handwrite fast enough to keep up with my thoughts.
3. Planner, pantser, or plantser?
Usually pantser because trying to plan usually kills the story, but adding some planning has done wonders for where the firelight fades. (Which has been the second-longest thing I've ever written since shortly after I got it past 20K, and it's currently at 52K for an estimated total of 60K.)
7. What do you like to eat when you’re writing?
🤣 eat when writing, that's a good one
(part of my problem is words come easiest when I'm hyperfocused on the story. which is not conducive to remembering at frequent enough intervals that food is a thing I need. water either. bathroom breaks. stretch breaks. sleep.)
12. How many drafts does your work go through before you’re ready to show it to people or publish?
Usually one, though the words as they first hit the screen are often somewhat different from the words as they hit AO3.
13. How do you feel about editors and editing?
editors: wonderful helpful people
editing: *makes ward-off gestures*
20. Have you ever gone to school for writing? Would you?
I don't have a bachelor's degree because I only got 3/4 of the credits required for graduation before I ran out of loan eligibility, but if I did I would have a minor in creative writing.
23. What is the first thing you remember writing?
Pern fanfic. I was ten, maybe, and a gold rider. I didn't pick up for yeeeeears on how rapey Dragonflight and Dragonquest and really the whole premise are.
24. What is the last thing you worked on?
My fic for

From misbegotten via fullupwithfire, pick a number and I'll tell you my favorite line from that fic.
I am restricting this to my Miraculous Ladybug fics of at least 600 words (which means at least 300 words, because the rest of my ML stuff is that short), so there are 28 fics to choose from and if you say 1 you'll get the oldest.

Mar. 22nd, 2019 05:17 pmFandom, copyright, and men boldly venturing forth into the wild unknown where no person has ever been, ignoring the too-female-to-be-people types who paved the way. Again. rthstewart proposes a fun-sounding collective riposte; my brain may be too splat to participate, though.
rthstewart proposes a fun-sounding collective riposte; my brain may be too splat to participate, though.kayim (or copied from kayim anyway):Six Sentence Sunday is a writing thing where, on Sunday, you post six sentences from an unfinished work. It can be a new fic, a new chapter of a WIP, or even something you’re not sure you’ll ever post.from "lady in red (never seen you shine so bright)" (a Miraculous Ladybug fic I hope to finish and post in the next day or two; this excerpt is CN menstruation):
Choose an excerpt from any section (and it doesn’t have to be six sentences) and post it, letting people know what it belongs to or indicating that it’s something you’re working on.
"Well," Chat managed, "at least you know he'll never be too embarrassed to buy you tampons."(goddamnit body let me sleeeeep)
"So I'm told." Ladybug buried her face in his neck. "Not tampons, though. Hate tampons. Pads."
She really wanted her money's worth from his promise [not to tease her later], didn't she? "Aren't tampons supposed to be better for athletic activity, or something? And as often as we're bouncing around Paris..."
"Yes. They are. I hate them." She bit off each syllable.
"Sorry, sorry!" Chat might have held up surrender hands, if she weren't still in his lap. "I didn't realize it's a sore subject."
Ladybug deliberately took a calming breath. "It's fine. You're fine, you didn't know, and it's worth thinking about." She moved her hand down to his heart. "I wasn't regular before. I'm still not. Tikki says I'm not eating right, but we haven't found 'right' yet. It might just be not enough for how active I am—a lot of teen athletes who should get periods don't, and that's why—but I eat everything in sight. So Tikki thinks I should be looking for tasty human-edible bugs or flowers, because for Miraculous wielders the weirdness never stops. [...] Anyway, that all means my period is not a monthly problem. And in the suit, it is never a problem. Tikki does something about it. I have not asked what, because I don't want to know. And the rest of the time, pads work just fine."
"Noted!" Chat said, and Ladybug snickered. "Moving on!"

Jan. 16th, 2019 04:11 pmGive me the title of a hypothetical fic (and fandom/characters/pairing if you like, or tell me to go original if you are inclined) and I will:I am probably only working in Miraculous Ladybug.
-tell you what it's about
-recall my favorite or least favorite parts
-possibly attempt to write an excerpt of it
Drop one of these bad boys in a comment and I will respond, without editing:journalmemes.
- FIRST — the first two sentences of my current project
- LAST — the most recently written two sentences of my current project
- NEXT — the next line. meaning i will finish the sentence I’m on and write a new one, which you’ll get.
- [insert prompt here] — you post a prompt, and i’ll write three sentences based on that prompt, set in the same time/setting as my current project
- THE END — i’ll make up an ending, or post the ending if i’ve written it
- BEFORE THE BEGINNING — three sentences (or more) about something that happened before the plot of my current project
- POV — something that’s already happened, retold from another character’s perspective

Dec. 13th, 2018 11:42 amGo to page 7 of your WIP, go to the seventh line, and share seven sentences. Then tag 7 people who you know will see this to do the same.
From the one I was writing on yesterday:
From the one I was writing on yesterday:
Marinette pulled away from him and got slowly to her feet. "What am I supposed to call you?" she asked, looking over his brick-red chain mail tunic and the rapier in his other hand.And from my NaNo:
He grinned up at her, wide and Chat-bright, and winked. "Why, I'm your Chevalier, of course."
And there was a flat silver ring in her hand.
Marinette stormed around Mme. Bustier's desk and threw herself down, opening her purse to pull out her phone and drop in the ring and scritch Tikki's worried brow before snapping the purse closed again. "Peachy."
One moment, I was Chat Noir, watching my Lady toss two black-spotted pieces of red wishbone in the air. The next—Tag yourself!
Being swept up in the torrent of miraculous ladybugs didn't usually feel like jumping into a bonfire. And being released didn't usually feel so like the warmth of a fireplace and the laughter of friends.
—Speaking of friends.
"Marinette?" asked Ladybug, glancing at my ladybug-brought friend with wide eyes and creased brow, and something about her tone of voice—
"Adrien?" squawked—my own voice, as I'd heard it on recordings. Chat Noir's voice, coming from a familiar face wearing Chat Noir's mask, behind which those absurdly green eyes darted between Ladybug and Marinette and me and—I turned my head—there was no mistaking the face I saw in the mirror every day.
five questions via liv
Nov. 14th, 2018 08:32 pm1. What do you wish more people understood about you?
Listen, neurotypicals, I can communicate directly, explicitly, and to the point, and you can do me the courtesy of assuming that if I did not say it then I did not mean it. Or I can layer in implications for you to treasure hunt for, and you can do me the courtesy of not insisting that I communicate directly, explicitly, and to the point. Fucking PICK ONE.
2. In the unlikely event you had the option to pass a new law, what would you change?
Oh there are approximately a million things. Two examples from today:
* Require "Mx." be provided as an option anywhere that provides "Ms." and "Mr." as options (in other news, fuck "Dr Ms." as an option altogether, especially when juxtaposed with "Dr."!)
* Mandatory K-12 education standards to include basic food safety
3. What have you made that you're most proud of?
Lately? chart the valley of your dreams Miraculous Ladybug ficverse.
4. What does your ideal living space look like?
Consistently cleaner than I personally have spoons to make it (woe is me, etc).
5. Do you have an animal you identify with, in the manner of a daemon / patronus or similar?
( images )

Choose three Dreamwidth communities you subscribe to that you want to see more active. Post to each of your chosen comms this week.
Repeat challenge as you feel necessary :)

Mar. 30th, 2017 06:16 pmOkay, folks. As April first is Saturday, I hereby pledge not to post any pranks, jokes, false links, or screamers. Nothing originating on this blog will be a prank or deliberately incorrect. If I re-post or link to other people’s pranks, which I may, they will be clearly marked so you don't click on them and think they're real.
No direct links to howling horribleness, and no 'alternative facts', will ever purposefully appear on this blog. If one does, it's a hack or something changed, or I messed up; please let me know immediately so I can fix it.
Stay safe out there, my dears! We non-pranksters have got your back.
