Brief update: Mother is still in the hospital. Still no idea what's going on and it's starting to look like she'll be there over the weekend more likely than not. I go to get my pills from the psych doctors tomorrow morning. Which is good, because I'm kind of hovering on the edge of a crash and trying to hold it back so that my brothers don't see. I really appreciate all the comments and good thoughts.
In the spirit of Not Thinking About It, have an epic memepost. Tonight I am going to bed in the next half-hour or so, but I will be coming back and forth to this for the next couple of days, so spam me as much as you wish with requests.
1. Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 600 words) from anything I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
2. Comment with a story I've written, and I will tell you one thing I knew, learned, or wondered about while writing the story that didn't make it onto the page.
3. Name any story I've written, and any character in them, canon or OC. I'll tell you three things about that character which I didn't put in the story.
4. Tell me a character, I'll tell you three things from my personal canon about them.
5. Give me the title of a story I've never written and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.
6. Pick a trope from the list below and provide a fandom/pairing and I'll tell you something about the story I'd write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write)
( List because this post is getting long. )
7. Give me a topic, any topic, and I will ramble about it at you.
For the writing ones: my Ao3 for fic, my rainbowfic tag for originals, and my rp list for ideas on characters.
