7 Days of Fanfic: Day 5
Sep. 25th, 2010 12:54 pmDay 5: When do you write what kinds of fanfics? ( All the days. )
When I'm so upset or angry that I can't see straight or verbalize it (which is quite the accomplishment, let me tell you - I can speak calmly right up until I am literally restraining myself from committing murder) I write Sunstreaker. Sunstreaker being miserable, Sunstreaker being angry, Sunstreaker being comforted... Just Sunstreaker. He's my center. At the root of all things is Sunstreaker.
When I feel good I write things I find pleasure in. It might be Shockwave/Blurr darkfic, Prowl/twins epic, Skyfire/Starscream crack, Skyfire/trine porn... doesn't matter what it is as long as I can enjoy it. I usually bounce around between things when I feel good, unlike when I feel bad and just sit down and pound out a short Sunstreaker thing.
When I'm sad I write little small reflections that are also sad. Like, idk, Bluestreak sitting in the rain on Earth and talking about watching it fall on a battlefield on Cybertron and having to keep under cover from the Decepticons even though the acid was eating away at injured comrades who couldn't crawl to safety. I would write something like that.
If I feel cracky I'll actually attempt to draw instead of write, for some reason. Always in MS Paint. Seriously, I can't draw in regular drawing programs or on paper, I need that pixellation. I despise the version of MS Paint that came with Windows 7, though. Seriously wtf is that bullshit with the smooth lines omg. Gimme my pixels.
But really, my mood matters less than my groove. If the groove is going, I write. If it isn't, like the last month or so, I don't. Luckily it turns out![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spacehussy and I have pretty much the same writing cycles, and if one of us starts to write it usually triggers the other into writing which gets the first one going again and then we're on a roll for a while. I used to have year-long dry spells, and now I have month-long dry spells. Because we're awesome.
Seriously how did I get such an awesome Spacehussy of my very own. ♥ She's so awesome, you guys. I can't even tell you how neat the stuff she comes up with is. I can't wait to show you all Disassembled and the Trinefic and everything else she (and I) are working on. It's going to be amazing.
