John, I'm only dancing!

Do you ever get to the end of writing a fic and go, "Yeaaaaaaah! \o/"? Like, finishing writing a fic is always inherently satisfying in itself, but sometimes the sense of triumph you get from finishing this fic in particular is outrageously awesome. Last night I finished one such fic and had to flail around in happiness for a while because.

I don't know, it wasn't even particularly hard to write. But yay!!! I wrote a The Like story! Keep an eye out for that in the next couple of days, yeah? It was the fic I worked on when I was stuck on all the other (read: figure skating) fics I was working on, so now that that's done and I'm not working on anything else in particular except the ficlets from my prompt post a while back and the OT3 with alex_boylove, it's scarily like starting anew again.

Also, I love writing endings a lot. When I had to write compositions in primary school I'd write really great and long-ass beginnings and sort of wind down towards the end, but right now it's kind of the opposite. Endings are great! Usually I kind of know what happens, but that doesn't affect my feelings of, let me tell you all about it. :)

It's Monday morning now and I had a pretty good weekend. Yesterday, in addition to many other things, I had three oranges and like ten mangosteens and also pineapples. All your fruits, they can be mine.

Also, IT HAS BEEN WHOLE WEEKS SINCE I DID A MEME! What is up with that?

Now, some writers embrace their id and write it all out there, and that can be a fabulous thing. Self-awareness FTW. But often when I'm reading a fic I find myself wanting to tap the author and say, "Pardon me, did you know your id is showing?"

So, a couple of us got to wondering what our fics revealed about us. Hence this anonymeme. Are our ids showing?

Come talk here!

That's what I always try to do, but most of my endings tend to just fizzle out? I always think it happens too fast after the climax. Of course, this could just be I mostly write for challenges/on a deadline, and by the end I have about 2 hours to get the file sent in. XD

I love writing the beginning! I have to write in order, so I spend a long time on the opening scenes. They never change after I move on.

A ha ha ha this is why I suck at challenges! I always get all, "THIS CANNOT BE RUSHED" and end up not writing anything at all after procrastinating a good long while, which is a prime indicator of how much I suck as a human being. :D:

Ooh, beginnings. Usually mine sound pretty stiff because I haven't really figured out what kind of headspace the story needs yet! It gets easier as I write, until I hit a bump and then start sounding awkward.

Also, your icon is extremely distracting. That stupid t-shirt. His COLLARBONES, oh god.
