Plei, it was an oldish comment, probably. Maybe on a Darcy/Steve married in Vegas fic? I can't remember.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.

That doesn't sound like me. I actively avoid 99.75% of Darcy fic. Like, I will hit it if it is femslash, fucking weird, or by a friend I trust a lot. I mean, it is possible! But doesn't sound like something I would read.

Though there is someone on AO3 using my real name as a pseud.

I was reading a ton of blithers's stuff in rapid succession. Now I want to track this down. Nay, I'm GOING to track it down.
Ah. It was New Girl. I thought it was you, but maybe I'm wrong?

I was reading a lot of sitcom fic in 2013.

I wrote some New Girl stuff. Nothing as good as blithers, though.

HEY! Long-form writers: how do you approach your re-writes?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Let someone else read it, and note where they go "huh? Did you mean this? Or that? And what about that thing, don't you need to set that up earlier?" And stuff. And then incorporate/take out/clarify/streamline those things in the next draft. Sometimes if it's been a while since I looked at an earlier section I can catch those things myself. Mostly I'm too immersed to catch even typos, though.

I'm arrogant enough that I don't usually use a beta (ah, the old days, when I had people I trusted in the same fandom I was writing in). I tend to post chapters as I go, so I try to plot out where I'm going, and if I come up with a great idea later I'll either pout that I blocked myself out of using it or think of twists in order to fit it in.
I am an outlier when it comes to writing methods. My first draft is in my head, I have no problem going back and fixing things while I'm writing, I like working without a net.
