At least you're all writing I seem to have forgotten to write anything for days Lol, I should really get to work but just can't think =/ (Sorry Gilgamesh if you were waiting for more)

[Maria13]

On another matter...  You know you may be on to a good thing in this FF lark when...

Hubby, who hates Alistair [jealousy issues], turn rounds after reading your last chapter and says: "I feel sorry for Alistair" and "Surana betrayed him"...

That's why I give myself goals of "I will get my next chapter done by Sunday". I mean, I don't stress or anything if I miss said goal, but it does help.



That being said, I got my last chapter up last Friday and it was NICE to take a weekend "off". Plus we were super busy, so it worked out well



1946! Lets see if I can break 3000 today The day isn't shaping up in my favor however

Apologies for the vulgarity, but apparently I am "having a giant constipated word poop." I don't understand, but I'm liking this burst of productivity.



And sympathy for the hand injury--let it rest instead of forcing yourself to work, it should heal quicker.

[soignee]

I've rather shot myself in the foot with regards to how I write one of my fics now. I average 7000-9000 a chapter, and stick to themes/plot which I write on post it notes that get ticked off like a shopping list when they're done. And I write myself into a corner as I feel that it should be done that way, and it's sometimes like pulling teeth.



I got 3000ish words written which by rights can be a chapter, but because of the plot it appears nothing happens and the chapter feels empty. urghhhh my system succcckkkkks

I am doing exactly this with my original project, but the posit-its are in my head.

My current dilemma is that I have a way I think I want to go but it may not be popular.  Oh and to put this in fanon, I"ve decided that Bann Esmerelle and Rendon Howe?  They were so doing it.  She's a bit TOO loyal to ole Rendon, if ya know what I mean??

Dude I wrote that Oghren and Sigrun may or may not have had a drunken fumble, and considering my readers (lol dwarf-lovers amirite) that's like hooking up Alistair with Morrigan. I got a NOOO WHAT DID YOU DO TO SIGRUN HOW COULLLLD YOU from a few, which made me lolz.

I use an A5 pad with different sections and pages you date at the top, because usally I'm not writing just one chap but I may get some inspiration for something that happens in the future so I jot it down on another dated page and may add to it later.

[Gilgamesh1138]

Oh I have had to stop making myself think that every chapter (particularly of my epic long one) has to be 8,000 words long.

My beta has been fixing up my earlier chapters and I realize some of them were only a little over 1,000 words long and they were fun to read, and no one complained. It is only myself that seems to think every chapter should be so big. But I am with Soignee, it seems so empty!!!!!! ARG! *runs around in circles pulling out hair*


Oh and question for you all.  Is it rude of me to respond to someone taking the time on my stories here to post a comment with a post of my own?  It bumps my stories back up to the top, which I don't know if that is considered rude.  Should I just send them a personal PM instead?  It seems to be forum hoggish (not a word I know) to bump my stories back up responding to some sweet person.

If someone comments here, I comment here in return.  Don't worry about being forum hoggish.

[odiedragon]

I kind of figured that's what the threads were for? Not just to post updates but to discuss the fic itself as well? I wouldn't think twice about replying to my own thread if someone leaves a nice note in one

[Gilgamesh1138]

Okay, I was just checking. I don't want to bump the wonderful stories here. I didnt know what Miss Manners would have to say on that sort of thing.



*sigh* I hate work being so busy that I can't write on my chapter! ARG!

[soignee]

OKKKK so. How annoying is it to read f*cking swearing in a goddamn f*cking fanfic? I just realised I wrote a dialogue scene out and LOL I am sweary.

[odiedragon]

Vulgar fic is vulgar!



Just sub out some of those words with "Andraste's ass" and "sodding duster" and you should be good to go

[soignee]

A carta thug would really say "andraste's ass" while Missa is shanking him into silence amirite? Soddin' sounds weird too, as I'm English and sod is like a really mild swearword. Like "blooming 'ell!"

[odiedragon]

Well yeah, but in context in game sodding seems to mean more than that.



And I could see Oghren saying "Andraste's ass", just to get a reaction out of the surfacers

[Gilgamesh1138]

ROFL and Oghren say "sodding" all the time. Hehe, "Andraste's ass," I gotta use that one. Thanks odie! Can I come to you for swear words?

I'm English too and I know where you're coming from.  "Bloody" is OK sometimes but somethings call for a F*** or a ****** or a S***.  And one of my chapter ended on "Take that W***EB***H" 

Also discovered something interesting the other day.  French swearwords appearing on the English board are also censored (but I guess that's not so surprising since Bioware is a Canadian company) so you can't say fils de p****, even. Helas!

Interesting.

I've started writing my first fic and after writing a general outline and making notes for the main characters I began fleshing out the first scene. I was actually doing so with PEN and PAPER!

I believe it will be chapter 20 in the end and I also had ideas for chapter 17 and 21. And here I always thought you start writing with chapter 1. How naive.

Yeah, well I only use pen and paper to write while commuting, I can't be bothered to lug along a laptop.  At home it's PC all the way.

You wait 'til the characters start talking to you.  Flemeth came around the other day...
