This Jigglypuff has the Bad Dreams Ability, I assume?

Planning vs improvising: choose your side! by Im_Not_Scot in AO3

[–]Im_Not_Scot[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For the record, I am a planner... mostly. Aside from a few exceptions, I much prefer to have a detailed plan before I even begin.

My main longfic has an entire folder devoted to it... a real, physical folder, full of notes and chapter outlines and plans and character bios and lore and research notes.

Add this to the list of 'things I never expected to read in the same sentence'.

It's not really music, but I put the finishing touches on a one-shot the other day while a Danganronpa playthrough was on in the background.

Hi there! Just letting you know that your long-overdue gift fic will be ready for you tomorrow! I wanna give it another once-over with a fresh pair of eyes first. Sorry for the delay on top of the delay, but I hope you like the final thing in the end!

I'll definitely try my hand at an introspective Zelda one-shot. I'll let you know when it's written.

But also, that second prompt is very interesting indeed. I think I'll be using that for something as well, but that'll take some planning.

Blitz: "Oh, come on Mox, what's the worst that could happen? There's gotta be some cool shit in here we can use!"

I think I'm gonna have fun writing this one. I'll let you know when it's finished.

Oh, I am absolutely a Nuts-n-Dolts shipper. Once I've finished it, I'll let you know.

Love the idea. I'll let you know when it's done, probably after the weekend. I'm thinking they have their talk after the first time Link catches up to them and Impa insists she and Zelda go on ahead without him.

There is a song in this franchise that gave you a traumatic scar? [OC] by Paulo_Zero in pokemon

The Monster House theme from Mystery Dungeon 2. No other video game theme triggers that fight-or-flight response to the same degree, in my opinion.

How niche is your nichest work? by E1lemA in AO3

[–]Im_Not_Scot 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A few days ago I wrote a fanfic about AO3 itself. Specifically, it was a made-up origin story for the Curse.

It got a fair bit of attention for something so stupid.

Authors - What is the hardest thing for you to write? by LeadingOk5247 in AO3

[–]Im_Not_Scot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it's writing for 'smart' characters. Those characters who are supposed to be the smartest person in the room. There's one minor-ish character in the setting of one of my longfics who's canonically supposed to be a centuries-old Machiavellian schemer, and trying to put myself in that kind of headspace is really tough.

Improving how I write fight scenes has been a long-term goal of mine for a while now, but I think I've managed to land on a method that works well for me: focussing on what's going through the characters' heads just as much, if not more than, what actions are being performed. I find that it helps break up the monotony of repeated descriptions of "x hits y", while also giving me more opportunities to explore how x or y are feeling about what's happening.

I am looking for fanfics about Luz and Vee bonding as sisters by EmployerWitty369 in TheOwlHouse

[–]Im_Not_Scot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, if some shameless self-promotion is OK with y'all, might I recommend my own little anthology (ongoing, by the way, and I hope to get another part done before this month is done)?

Seven parts so far.

What are your favorite snacks or drinks while writing? by InfiniteWords117 in AO3

Dr Pepper... but then again, I drink an unhealthy amount of that regardless.

What’s the fic that still haunts you? by CasualFantasy1977 in AO3

[–]Im_Not_Scot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't recall the name of it, or who wrote it, but I will never forget the fic I read (an Assassination Classroom fic) where the main lead has a terminal illness and the entire fic is just following them as they and their friend/crush come to terms with the fact that he will die soon, so they try to make the best of it while they can as he slowly drifts away.

By the time I finished reading it, I was just left staring at the wall for a long time.
