Hi

Um, I haven’t been on here for quite a long time.  Like...a couple years, I think?  It’s been awhile.  I hope you’re all doing well and have had a nice holiday and New Year.  I’m still kind of working through...life.  As we all are, I suppose.  Something that hasn’t changed is that we still have terrible Verizon DSL that costs a fortune and is effing terrible.  Which...is code for “we’re watching YouTube on the TV so nothing is loading on tumblr in the realm of pictures)   So...I might try to build up a queue again?  I don’t know.  I’m not sure.  But...I decided to log on and...here I am.    Hi.  :)

My favorite thing to do lately is every time I hear our frat house neighbors across the street shouting about a football game, I turn to my partner and ask, "Do you think they're watching Succession?"

there’s nothing more emotionally devastating than the Saw III screenplay.

Is it really too much to ask to meet Christopher Eccleston while I'm frolicking in a field, hurt my ankle, and end up in a rainstorm like how Marianne met Willoughby in Sense and Sensibility? I need rescued, damn it. 🥺

I used to love DVD commentaries that writers used to do for their fanfics on livejournal. Fanlore describes it as “written commentary or gloss that accompanies a given piece of fanfiction. The commentary can be written by the story's author or beta reader, or by another fan.”

There’s so many stories in this fandom that I’d love to know more about. So, I’ve made a list of questions that writers can use to do their own commentary of their fanfics.

This is open to all writers! Pick your favourite story you’ve written or your most popular or the one you think deserves some more love! Or ask your followers to suggest their favourite fic of yours!

E.T.A - I’ve made a blog for this - @shamelessdvdcommentary 💖

You don’t have to answer all the questions, feel free to pick and choose or come up with your own questions to ask!

Which fanfic is your DVD commentary about?

Give us some stats - (when you wrote it, word count, how long it took to finish, is it a one-shot/multi-chapter, etc)

What was the initial inspiration for your story?

If the story is written from a character’s POV, why did you choose this character?

What was your favourite scene to write?

How did you come up with the title?

Are there any little moments or references you hope readers will notice?

Was there anything you struggled to write? If so, how did you overcome this?

Favourite line in the story?

Did the storyline change in any way as you wrote the story?

If you are writing a particular trope or genre, was it your first time writing this?

What are you most proud about in the story? (plot, characterisation, dialogue, twist/cliffhanger, etc)

Are there any deleted scenes that didn’t make it to the final story?

Are there any ‘behind the scenes’ info you’d like to share - e.g. what’s going on in a characters head in a certain scene or how you came to write a certain line?

Reading back the story now, is there anything you’d change or add?

Would you ever write a sequel to this story?

Are there any ‘easter eggs’ in your story - e.g. references to other stories you’ve written, a trope you often use etc?

If you’ve chosen your most popular story, are you surprised by the popularity?

Were you nervous or excited to post this story?

Did you have a beta or a friend who helped you as you wrote?

Ask your followers to pick a snippet (no more than 500 words) and share your thoughts about it.

Anything else you’d like the readers to know about the story?

Tumblr on April 1st, 2024:

Just went to my very first real life hockey game! The BeNe league (the Netherlands and Belgium both play in it) isn't very big, but I had a blast. Amazing vibes, and still even though it wasn't NHL level, the sport is so much faster in real life than on tv! And my local team won 5-3! So I now have to go to more games, especially since the tickets are only 15 euros lmao

DR STEVE + PATIENT BUCKY AU PROGRESS UPDATE

HELLO AND HAPPY FALL! It’s been a hot second since I made an update post (August, I think??). I had a small roadblock a while back and had to rewrite the beginning, I even had to scrap a couple scenes but it wasn’t a total loss since I’ll likely use those later on. I also arranged some things differently, so the start will be… interesting.

As some of you know I’m a ‘post as I go’ writer instead of writing it all and then posting; the wait absolutely kills me esp when it’s a year or two long project. I aim to post somewhere around late December or mid January. Later than I wanted, but hey, creativity can’t be rushed!

Time is nonexistent sometimes so I thought I’d go ahead and ask the age old question: would any of you like to be tagged when I post? Reply to this and I’ll add you to the list!

Also should I go ahead and change blog/account aesthetics since Aster is finished? lol I thought about waiting till I post but at this point I think I’m long overdue for a new look.

oh hall of shame you’ll never ever be canon to me
