skimming through all of the dead text at the end of an old fic is so strange but weirdly satisfying and i could not even begin to explain why
#so like fun fact#all of the sort of half-sentences and not-quite-fully-formed ideas that i've had over the course of writing a fic don't actually get deleted#generally they just get relegated to the bottom of the document until either a) i've reached the point where i want to slot them back in#b) i've reworked the wording or whatever to make it fit better into the rest of the fic#or c) the fic has ended and i've decided i don't want to use them any more#so going back and reading them is kind of bizarre bc all of a sudden i am flung right back into the headspace of that fic and what it#felt like to write it#remembering 'oh yeah i was going to say that wasn't i'#and 'ooh that was a good phrase i should use that somewhere else'#and ' woah this would have been so different if they had done this instead of that'#its that sort of re-reading a diary feeling#the bottom of a fic document is a weird sort of liminal space for me it's fab#i'm back in the 'resist and elongate' document today to do some work on an alternate version#and included in that dead text is a list of the songs i was listening to as i wrote it#so i'm REALLY back in that space and it's great :DDD#the songs are a deeply bizarre mixture but its the vibe to ME#radiohead karma police is still the song of all time#i can drop the list if u like but it might be exposing my slightly hatstand music taste lmao
