Day 2 + a fic meme
""Where are you most comfortable?" -- asked by
bookblather
To be honest I'm not sure whether this is a question about physical comfort or mental? But the answer to pretty much either is, when visiting
sharpeningthebones, for various reasons:
1. Privacy! It doesn't exist in my house.
2. Company! It's nice to have it, particularly when it's Mal. (The other house I go to has the aforementioned privacy problem. I only know two people in my area.)
3. Set-up! It's a damn comfortable bed okay. I love that bed.
(In general, physical comfort is a bitch for me? My body really hates sitting straight upright in a chair so I like couches, beds, even chairs I can throw my legs over or sit sideways and cross-legged on (I did this even in classes at my desk. I do not sit straight forward if I can help it, I hate it). Texture issues are a big thing, so it depends on the material of the chair/what you put on the thing, too. I hate most couch coverings I've encountered. They make me want to cry.
There are a couple of kinds of blankets that are basically perfect even on my WORST texture days, though, and they are one of the kinds my grandmother buys, and the kind Mal has. So, yeah, that bed is my favorite place.)
... I got nothing else. I'm trying to think of things to add but I think I'm done.
Tomorrow: Stories! Day after: Nothing! That is to say, I still have 18 open slots so please come ask me questions.
And now a writing meme. Because I love it.
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.
Anything you know I'm familiar with goes for this, whether I write it or not. If you know nothing about my fandoms, you can get an idea off of my Ao3 or poking around my tumblr. Original stories/stories in original verses go too.

no subject
Looking back, I wish I'd been a little gentler with that one, because either that hung people up, or people expected all my little hints to be so obvious -- hardly anyone got the Book reference, and even less people realized I was implying that Saffron and the Master had worked together.
