Oh, thanks guys! As always... This totally confused (and pissed) 46 year-old is humbly grateful...

My usual writing style is heavy dialogue and the occasional visual metaphor to set the tone. A stormy boat ride against a conversation about politics, for example.

Banter is always first, however, and the scenery fits in after. DDW is not exactly subtle due to the "I want to write about a kickass female and it be like an action movie" premise I set myself, so there's not exactly an abundance of lingering, elegiac prose.

I tried my hand at poetic narrative here in a Dalish one shot I did about a Mahariel longing for her Tamlen, which goes against what I usually write. It went down well, so I suppose I should do more! But Missa Brosca won't let me write poetry nonsense, pffft.

*goes back to writing chapter 21*

This is me, exactly, dialogue first, anything else afterwards. Description? That is hell.  I also write in pieces, my muse just says to me "Jot this down, idiot!" and I meekly obey.  Then it turns out it's para 4 of Chap 7 but I have to write two other chaps to get there...

All you dialogue writers!  I'm just going to go hide in a corner with my flouncy fancy words and careful use of ..., italics and cry.

Y'all be making me feel all weird and stuff

[Gilgamesh1138]

Tas, as an avid reader of yours, you do excellent work. I think I am the weirdo. I write linearly, I can't just "jot this down, idiot!" And I do like dialogue, particularly if I can make it funny, and I like descriptive writing, but I don't find I get to put it in as much as I would like. *hugs Tas*

I need a Marcie to my Peppermint Patty, someone who tells me, "You're weird, sir." Any volunteers? Or am I too weird even for that?

No, no, no...  We're the weird ones, you're the true writer...

[Gilgamesh1138]

Hah, Maria you are a true writer too! The Gold Sovereign was fantastic, and I am thrilled I have more of your writing to read!

We are all real writers. I'm just saying... None of us fake write

[Gilgamesh1138]

I do! My cat writes for me. Well she would like to when she sits on my lap and wants her face rubbed while I try to type!

[Miri1984]

Hehe. And my daughter types for me sometimes. She needs to work on character development, I think.

[Gilgamesh1138]

Kitty likes to put in fish randomly.

[LupusYondergirl]

My cat is very disappointed at the lack of Ser Pounce a lot in my story, and every time she jumps on my lap while I write I feel compelled to mention the cat and usually find some way to do so.



I'm totally my cat's ****, though, and she knows it.

[soignee]

must... finish... chapter.... *slumps on keyboard*



1000 words to go, maybe?

[Gilgamesh1138]

ROFL! *makes grabby hands for Missa goodness* While slumped over the keyboard hit submit.

Why is it every time I try to write something even remotely smutty my characters decide they need to bring all their deep psychological issues to the party? Ugh. Been working on the same scene forever and it keeps getting away from me.

[Gilgamesh1138]

Um, because sex is a good release for deep psychological issues? Okay maybe not.

[Miri1984]

Good point, Gil.



But I'm distracted by the possibility of more Anders smut! Hooray! Pity I'm writing a childhood fic at the moment.



Neria and Anders only got in on once in my fic, must write a sequel so we can rectify that...

[soignee]

chapppter 21 done I go colllapseeeee now.



And sex scenes seem to be angst fuel in fiction a lot as it's a good WE'VE DONE SOMETHING INTIMATE LET'S SHARE STUFF propelling. Unless your name is Missa Brosca, in which case it's a case of rolling off, doing up your pants and hitting them in the arm with a "see ya!"

[Gilgamesh1138]

ROFL, I do have to love Missa's take on life sometimes. I need to emulate her more... though punching in the arm in certain circles (say at work) can get you into trouble. LMAO!

[Gilgamesh1138]

Okay stupid double post!

So I will use this one to tell Miri...YAY!  More Ander smut please!  I will love you forever, and ever.:wub::wub:

I'm nearly caught up on Dead Duster, Soignee. Loving it. Still haven't played a dwarf commoner yet - must do so. I'll end up playing her like Missa, though. She's absolutely tops.



Next fic will be Anders/Neria again, Gil. I must get back to Alistair, Miranda and little Duncan again someday but Anders has me pinned in a sexy vice like grip at the moment. HOT!

[soignee]

oh wow, thanks for reading! I possibly need to go back and re edit a few early chapters, the bad grammar annoys me.... >.>

So. Someone has requested I write fluff. I... I don't know how to write fluff without context... what am I doing? The fact that I don't know how to write it means I must, so I can learn how, but I don't even know where to start. Chains is tooth-rottingly sweet, but it's not quite the same as this request I got. What do I do?

You have to be careful with Zevran fluff, which is I assume what you're going for. Too sweet and it's... WHERE IS ZEVRAN HERE.

He's the kind to comfort you if only so he angle you just so to peer into your bosom and/or angle for an ass grab.

Fluff = light-hearted fun! Feel-good stuff! Readers come away from it feeling happy. It doesn't have to be sweet...I think I'd rather say 'playful'. Zev can do the flirty/playful routine verrrry well. Pick a chore (I was prompted by laundry) and just go for it.

[Shadow of Light Dragon]

Wait, fluff = comfort writing? Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about o_O
