writing ramble

i went to work this week! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO GLAD TO CHANGE A CATHETER BAG.

but that's not what this post is about. it is about the WRITING PROCESS, mine, specifically, and as such it's probably WAY BORING for anyone who is not me. so, disregard, unless you really enjoy reading other people's thoughts on their silly fic writing...?

( judging your own writing )

ANYWAY. after that WAAAAAAMbulance ride, an old but still fun link as a cookie: Every Fanfic Ever Written

my favorite is the songfic. "I hurt people with my perceived depth." GOLD.

(also fun: finding out which fanfic you are writing OVER AND OVER. i am pretty sure everything i've done qualifies as "angstfest.")

tic-tac-toe!

hamimifk discovered a new, interesting fanfic challenge community, fictictactoe. basically, you and a friend have a prompt list set up in a tic-tac-toe board formation, and you take turns writing fic to fill out the grid.

hamimifk and i are doing a multi-fandom game, using table 7, Idioms:

01. my hands are tied.	02. the devil makes work for idle hands.	03. all's fair in love and war.
04. the writing is on the wall.	05. there are two sides to every story.	06. the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
07. there's more what meets the eye.	08. curiosity killed the cat.	09. birds of a feather flock together.

I AM EMBARRASSINGLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS! (Bat, you can totally go first, i'm still a little iffy on how the whole thing works)

to any writerly people reading this: it would be cool if you tried this too! not - not with me, though. with other cool writer friends you have. this seems like a super-neat idea, and i'd love to see what others do with it.
