argentum_lsI'm wrestling with a lot of stories right now, most of which refuse to cooperate. With the timing of everything, but especially work and an unexpected amount of crap going on there, I'm feeling very creatively drained. Since it's worked well in the past, I've decided to follow ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fikgirl's lead. She's always been a good influence:
I believe the idea is for people to pick one. I could be wrong, but that's all I feel empowered to request.
I - 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 readers immediately look for?
_________
II - Name one of my fics in comments (or a scene from one of them) and I will (try to) tell you what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the characters' 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.
_________
III - Tell me about a story I haven't written, and I'll give you between one and three sentences from that story.
_________
IV - Comment with either "Five things that never happened to Character"-style prompts or "Three pieces of your personal canon for Character," and I shall see what I can do to oblige.
_________
V - Name a character from one of my fandoms below and I'll give you:
(a) three facts about them from my personal canon/fanon
(b) a reason he/she sucks
(c) a reason he/she is amazing
(d) five things that I'd like to see happen to them
(e) five people that I can't ship that character with and why
_________
VI - Give me a character (or several) from any of my fandoms, and I’ll (try to) give you one reason for liking (or disliking!) the character, two favourite ships, three favourite friendships, and four pieces of headcanon.
_________
VII - Comment with two characters and a prompt word, and I'll tell you about their first kiss in a drabble. -- deleted because of my propensity for not 'shipping.
_________
VII - Name a woman in one of my fandoms and I will attempt a drabble (or something drabble-ish) about her. If you give me a keyword, quotation, line of poetry or lyric, I will use it if it sparks something for me.
