Fic Writer Bingo
Thanks for the tag @greypetrel c: I am basically a pro at having figured out how to edit these things now. Totally. hahaha
Tumblr media
So:
My original account was one I used when I was 12/13 and it was horrible oh man. The writing (I was just a kid) but also people were super cruel if they didn't like it. I didn't write anything for fun for a very, very long time afterward because I assumed people would hate it and be awful to me about it.
I have only ever had a beta for the Big Bang thing. Everything else is edited entirely by me---and though I do enjoy editing and making things fit together a little better, I do get this horrible rush of self-consciousness every time I post a new piece. I usually hide my phone from myself because it makes me so anxious.
I have mixed feelings about research, because I tend to get so fixated on being accurate that I no longer want to write the story afterward. So I try to mix just enough research in the pre-writing stages with finding character-related things that I enjoy so it stays balanced. Similarly, my outlines tend to be sort of general or I lose interest in the story and abandon it. I need a series of goalposts, but if I work out all the details in advance there's nothing fun for me to discover.
I have unfinished/unpublished fic like you wouldn't believe. Also. I realized just now that the "has a fic that deserves more attention" square is not intended to be a "you should probably finish it, huh?" thing and was likely supposed to be about feedback/recognition. Whoops.
I am only a multifandom writer in the sense that I have also written Mass Effect fic that's just...not quite polished enough for me to work up the nerve to post it haha. It's what I am fiddling with in the background at the moment.
So I kind of have a Bingo c: I half-erased that very last one and put it back a couple times. It mostly counts, I think.
Here's the original! I am trying to grab most of my writing moots, but sorry if I miss anyone, of course. Tagging: @scribbledquillz @heniareth @idolsgf @transprincecaspian @gaysebastianvael @ndostairlyrium and YE
