'Safe'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
I'm personally finding fanfic to be much trickier than original writing. Having to fit the parameters of someone else's reality? Tricky. Very tricky.
Ohhhh, yes. Keeping characters in character? V. hard. What's fun, however, is finding those areas of canon or character that invite expansion and exploration of the pre-existing fictional universe.
I like putting my own original character in and seeing if I can keep her interacting with the fanfic characters in a way that feels true to both.
It's a damned good self-disciplinary exercise.
Wrod. Also, the timeframes and whatnot.I still play with it when I am blocked, just to get me started, but have yet to come up with anything that makes me happy enough to share.But I figure, you all need readers, right?
Dude Where's My Car is a fine, fine film. Shibby!
It's just that there's a sweetness to DWMC that is hard to find in silly little films, and I cherish that.
Totally. I was forced to watch that movie against my will, and much to my surprise, I loved it. Thought it was *hysterical.*
NO AND THEN!!!!!
Damn, I love it.
Zoltan!

Deborah, if you have AIM or some messenging service, I can walk you through seeing if there's an autosave doc.
"Dude, what's mine say?" "SWEET! Dude, what's mine say?" "Sweet! Dude, what's mine say?"
Repeat ad nauseum.

If I do, it's buried. Damn.
Sorry about that - I was writing and posting in Bitchy Fic. I've realised I can't leave the computer for a bit anyway, since I'm awaiting News from the Great Beyond.
