I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

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.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

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?

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

See, I always say they're child porn, and now you've taken it to an entirely new level for me.

Thanks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
