On writing...
Jul. 9th, 2022 04:55 pmFic writing be like:
Me: you know, sometimes I think I should write some shorter fic. I mean I have these fics that are little more than PWP that are 10k long, do they need to be that long when the plot is mostly just there to justify the porn?
Brain: How about a probably 20k fic of similar plot to porn ratio, with the added benefit of going to special hell?
Me: What? Why?
Brain: here, have a whole AU while we’re at it. Lots of special hell this way.
Me: …damn it, me, you know we have a weakness for plotting out years of characters lives following them deciding to have sex one time.
Brain: and then usually not writing it, just knowing we want to.
Me: aaaarrrggggg
