This is really not the time!!

I really don't have time for this right now, but of course, I can't resist a meme. Ganked from leesa_perrie. To add some spice to this, I may answer for any form or art, depending on how I feel about the questions.

Pick a number, any number, and I'll answer it...

1. Which is your favorite of the fics you've written for X fandom? (you can choose, one or more) *
2. Favorite piece overall?
3. Which was the hardest to write, in terms of plot?
4. Which has the most "you" in it, however you'd define that?
5. What is an image/set of images that you're particularly proud of?
6. Idea that you always wanted to write but could never make work?
7. Least favorite plot point/chapter/moment?
8. Favorite plot point/chapter/moment?
9. Favorite character to write?
10. Favorite line or lines of dialogue that you've written
11. If I'm showing off just one of your pieces to someone, which one should it be?
12. What WIPs do you have going now? Are you excited about them?
13. Are there any things that might have happened in any of your stories, but you changed them at the last minute? (So-and-so dies, they don't actually kiss, main character has long extended ballet-based dream sequence, etc.)
14. Would you want to write canon for any of your fandoms (like be hired by showrunner to do an episode)? Which one?
15. Does font matter to you when you're writing a draft?
16. 3 favorite comments ever received on fanfic.
17. Any mean comments? How'd you deal with it? Who laid the smackdown?
18. If you could go back and revise one of your older stories, which would it be?
19. Do you make up scenes at work/on the bus/at the gym? Who are the characters that pop up the most? Do you write them down?
20. Go nuts, and talk about writing.

*(Actually you can't really choose, given I haven't written anything but White Collar... ;) )

My WIP

I'm mainly working on my Fatherhood Chronicles. I have 3 more ficlets in the pipes that I've been working on last night and tonight (keeping myself busy while running analyses on night shifts). I've been thinking about them for a while and couldn't find the time to seat and write. One is an awesome prompt from Dennih23. I should post them soon so I'll keep the surprise.

I really like working on the Chronicles. I really much enjoy fluff, and daddy Peter is an endless source of fluff and fun. It's also a softer way to deal with the finale angst.

Also the short format of each story makes it possible to post regularly while not keeping the writer pending as they're independent. And I like that format better, as a reader like an author.

Aww I adore the Father Chronicles. Its lovely to see a tender side to Peter. There are some great Peter as dad fics which I enjoy reading.

Thank you ♥♥

Stay tuned!

16 please

Favorite comments received.


I think the comments I appreciate the most are those saying that I got the characters voices spot on, or that they could see it happen in the show. Or that something I wrote becomes someone's head canon.
i also had a comment once, about a S5 fic, where the reader said that my fic reconciled her with Peter.

I'm curious about 6

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Ideas I could never make work.

there's this one rather complicated story (ie requiring a plot) for which I even submitted an art that wasn't picked for last year's RBB. It's around the idea that Peter would appear to have gone rogue, Neal finding out and confronting him because he refuses to buy it. I have some ideas about it, but that'd require a real story, and i never found enough inspiration for it. I'd happily share more with anyone wanting to write it...

[treonb.livejournal.com]

Oooh, interesting! I have a pile of reverse BBs to finish, but after that, I'd love to collaborate.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Good to know! :) you're definitely the kind of writer who would do a good job with it.
I'm still not sure if I'm ready to abandon the story to someone else, cause I've given it a lot of thoughts, even if not very conclusive, or if I'd rather talk the plot outline with someone and try to write it myself.

Thanks for the offfer! I'll think about it. :)

#1 for White Collar, please!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

This is an impossible question. I love all my fics. I wouldn't write something I wouldn't love. Not that I'm the kind to proudly admire my own work, but all my fics are equally "me", and I onmy write things that I'd like to read, even when I write for occasional prompts.

[leesa_perrie]

LOL! Good answer!! :D

#14 :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

I don't have the pretention to think I'd do any better than the real writers. I'm perfectly happy with whatever they come up with. There are a couple shows I wish would be better or more to my taste but I honestly don't see myself as a qualified writer. It's easier to point out defaults than actually creating something good.
And about the one show that I've been really involved in - White Collar - most of the time they've done a great job meeting my expectations and there isn't much I wish would have been different (apart for the finale maybe, though I'd still rather imagine what's next from canon, than rewriting the story. I respect the real writers too much to feel like "fixing" things to my own ideas)

how about Lucky #7?

Least favorite plot point?

I don't really feel that way about my work. I wouldn't publish something unless I'm perfectly happy with it. I don't consider myself a professional writer, but that's not the point. I'm having fun writing and I'm doing my best in everything I do.
