when you are writing, how much backstory/setting/etc. is in your head that never makes it to paper? I mean, I know I have a bunch of things--smells, sensations, sounds, that I experience when I'm writing that don't make it to text
In most cases, not enough. As you probably have seen, PMM, when I write the first thing I want to get down is the sounds, because I'm a very audio-orientated writer, but in my head I have all the other details as well, and I just don't get them down. Especially when, because I'm lazy, I use script format.
While watching Harry Potter 2 last night, all I could think was "I *must* read LOP!!!!"
Just wanted to mention that. Plan to read it soon.
Yes, you absolutely positively
must
read Lust Over Pendle , Teppy. For it is a jolly good thing.
Dana = evil.
Evil, evil, evil.
But the site is bookmarked, so next week when I'm the only person in the office, I can view things.
Evil, I tell you. Eeeeeeevil. Clovis would be proud.
So, hey, you know what I'd really, really like to read? Stuff about Oliver Wood. Character studies, slash, het, whatever, just some good stuff about Oliver.
Other minor characters really interest me too. Like Seamus. The Weasley Twins. Jeez, almost anyone except the three main characters, Snape, Draco and his entourage, etc.
Anything good?
I reiterate: SK has some lovely, lovely minor-character pieces if you scroll down a bit.
And she has a fascinating thing going on with Oliver Wood/Marcus Flint. Check it out.
SA, for some reason I thought you said you wanted the
Olsen
twins in your HP fic.
Just waiting to happen, isn't it?
Okay, fine, I'm sure it has already.
I thought you said you wanted the Olsen twins in your HP fic.
See, I always say they're child porn, and now you've taken it to an entirely new level for me.
Thanks.
PolyRecs update. 60 stories, 19 fandoms. Enjoy.
Thanks Dana!
And whew! It was A Scrap of Humanity that has the injured Harry unable to play Quidditch.
