I think the Legend fic is on hold, and so is the Vimes-and-Odo fic. I'm trying to decide whether to try any more WIPs, or just rest on my laurels and try not to get all my remaining stories stalled by looking at them. ;-)
Snippet. Or snippety snip snip? Just because. It's sloppy still, but the thoughts are there to edit and make awesome later. :)
RPF alert, just a name really since it's AU. :)
She’s much like Jensen remembers. Eris is a tiny thing, short and thin and dressed head to toe in black so that she seems like a slip of darkness from the fringes of a nightmare. Her black-brown hair hangs in messy waves just past her shoulders. Her eyes and lips seem too big for her small, pale, and heart-shaped face. She’s beautiful and alluring in the way that most gods and goddesses are, but she’s also not. Like she’s creation in reverse or creation that shut down in the middle of rebooting. Pretty but wrong.
Just dropping by to say hi. I've been looking at some of the previous hours, and wow, look at all the impressive writing going on! So I'm sending a big cheer and some glowsticks to everyone. *throws pacgae at fic_rush*
(I managed to dodge the pasta, the Russian mafia, the space pirates and all, but, to be honest, I think the penguins have got me & it will be some time before I can escape. They do allow me occasional net access.)
What if you looked at the WIPs just to see whether you felt like writing anything, but no pressure if you don't? You've already done a lot this weekend, and if you give yourself permission to *not* write, you just might find that you want to write after all.
Well, the Russian mafia kidnapped (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_rush_48/186735.html?thread=1838959#t1838959) jjpor earlier, so if you dodged them, you're doing well!
Actually, it's not something that's encouraged in the community, for these reasons:
1) This is a multi-fandom comm, which means that on average, most people here will not be interested in any given fic. That's why the community has a policy against posting fanfic here (although people can have links to their fic_rush written fic put in the fic gallery (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_rush/tag/fic%20gallery).
2) The purpose of fic_rush is to encourage the writing process, not to look at the outcome of the writing. Requests for feedback on fic is therefore not appropriate.
Excerpt from the FAQ for the comm:
Why doesn't fic get posted here?
Multiple reasons, flist spam being a big one -- with no fandom or genre, odds are that most of the fic won't interest most of the readers. But mainly it's because fic_rush isn't about the goal (specific fics) but rather the journey (time spent writing fic).
(Sorry for the grammar!fail in the last comment -- that's what comes of changing your mind about how to phrase something while you're typing -- but hopefully you get what I mean. One person posting one snippet is not a horrible thing, but it's definitely not something we want to see a lot of in the comm. Hope you understand.)
I saw. I can do some lurking, and I was entertained over breakfast this morning by yr shenanigans of the previous night. I thought it was prob. just a publicity stunt, you know what these popular authors are like, but sounds as tho' the Doctor and MacGyver thought it was genuine, so I'll stop being all cyncical. (It's the penguins, y'see. They do that to a person.)
Stalled again, but working on it. It's a point-of-view issue -- the character's interacting with others for half the fic, and for the other half he's half-asleep listening to them. Needs more balance, but adding a new scene would throw off the ending. *sigh*
I think I'm going to take a bit of a break. Head outside, go and sit in the warm sun and knit and listen to music with my eyes shut, and then see if I want to scribble anything. (I has a notebook.)
If I don't show up again before the 'rush ends, you'll know my mom came and took me away to go to church and be sociable with family... ;-)
FYI, posting snippets is not generally encouraged. Once is fine, and you don't have to delete, but we don't want it to become a regular practice. When I started to realize we might be heading that way, I intervened. Here's more on why it's not encouraged (http://community.livejournal.com/fic_rush_48/192073.html?thread=1926729#t1926729).
Oooh. Sorry! I read the rules a couple of weekends ago but I must have gotten it confused with another fic finishing comm or two, because now that you said something I was like: "Ooooohhhh!! That's right."
Sorry again, especially if I started a snippet round. I just forgot. D: Thanks for reminding me! :)
This is a side-community for fic_rush, where we post our hourly posts during rounds. If you've wandered in here by accident, you'll want to go there instead.
If you're with fic_rush and have just shown up, look for most recent hourly post.
