RANDOM

Here is a few things in no particular order!

Signal boosts:

1. pikasafire is hosting a not-in-November Nanowrimo! 50k in a month, and it doesn't even have to be ONE fic. I am going to try to finish all these WIPs I got lying around. We'll see how well I do with that, eh?

2. Over on dreamwidth there is a Really Awesome Looking Bandom Rec Meme going on. I read all the way to the bottom and got sad when I ran out of comments, so go rec stuff! There's a lotta Panic happening RN and you know what they say about variety? \o/?

3. bigbang_mixup looks interesting! It's a reverse big bang where you can submit a fanmix and someone will write fic to it. Sadly, this one is all-fandom and it looks like no one from bandom is signed up as yet. I started thinking about a mix I'd like to make and wound up bunnying myself with a story. Oh my GOD I am NOT allowed to start any new fics. No no NO.

Has there ever been a Bandom Reverse Big Bang? That would be awesome. Someone should get on that. :D?

4. In my bbb procrastinations, I updated my Masterlist! Thanks everyone for your kind input in the poll, it was most helpful!

5. People are starting to talk about their BBB posting dates and art and mixes, but I haven't got mine yet /o\. Wave 2 has been so weird for me because it hasn't been a crazy big rush with me writing 20 000 new words in the last weeks before deadline. The fic itself hasn't really CHANGED that much in a while and I keep getting stuck in the "ugh, I don't like it, no one will read it whine whine whine" place. But hey, I am VERY excited for lots of new fic and so many of my favourite writers have written for this wave, so that's cool.

6. Anyone got time to look over a little 2k ficcy thing for me?

7. Because I am a sheeple, let's have this meme that everyone is doing:

If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.
— Alfred Hitchcock

When I write a story, what do you immediately look for?

I know, I know, porn. Humour me?

I haven't got my posting date yet and I know it won't be for a while. /o\ I have so many THOUGHTS about my fic precisely because I don't love it enough, and I want to post it so I can talk about it. Damn it!

I can look over 2k fic if you either send it right now or don't mind waiting twelve hours to get it back.

I don't need to look for porn in your stories, it's just THERE. But what I look for is what's going on emotionally in the porn, what it says about the relationships involved, how people are changed, etc etc. In Hard Candy it's Frank discovering a way to explore his bisexual side without it being too scary. In Emergency Contact it's Pete needing reassurance and support from Mikey while both of them are being really careful and attentive with Patrick to figure out what he needs. In James Cameron Got It Wrong there's a lot of wonderful complicated stuff which I talked about at length on IM. It's not there in every fic you write - In Production, for example, is one I love but the relationships don't feel as important - but it's there in most of them and it's what I look for, which is what this meme is all about, right?

Ahahahahaa, YOU HAVE A POINT. Though I HAVE written like, two? Three? Pornless fics.

Wow what a well thought out and detailed answer! That's so cool that that's what you look for, because I think even if I don't specifically PLAN that kind of stuff for my fics, I think a lot of the time when I get bunnied with an idea what draws me to it is the relationships. Like, how will this situation affect the porn relationship?

Yes, it's ALL about you babe, and what YOU look for. No wrong answers!

Yeah, I'm not expecting a posting date anytime soon, I submitted pretty late!

Ooh thank you! It's another one of my Fox-fails-at-commentfic things. Shouldn't take long? \o/? Will email you.
