Shamelessly swiped from meretricula. Comment by tomorrow morning and you'll give me something to do on the plane! (edit: obviously, later comments are okay, too. that was just a shameless ploy to keep me busy.)

I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so much talking about stories as it is writing more of a story. But you know how sometimes you read something and you're like, "I got ___ out of this story, I wonder if I have that right?" or "What on earth was ____ supposed to be?" and it's too awkward to ask the author? Now you could totally ask!

I've heard people say that writing is hard because you have to make decisions, but we never really talk about the decisions we make with stories or why we make them. We talk about plot bunnies, but not about how we actually turn them into a story.

So, if you wanted, ask me questions!

What were you trying to do [here]? Why did you decide to ____? This is what I thought about xyz, is that what you were going for? What made you write ____? Why did you decide to do this? And so on.

Also, can someone familiar with Yuletide answer a couple questions about sign-ups/matching? I am confused and looking through yuletide unfortunately hasn't helped. DDD:

Now I will finish packing and go to sleep. Er, soon.

They are OCs that were going to grow up and hook up in thinly disguised origific for bb_shousetsu. IS THAT MORE OR LESS WHAT YOU HAD IN MIND. XD Morimoto Ryu and... shoot, I can't remember the other one's name. Now I have to go back and look through my notes again.

(This was before a junior named Morimoto actually debuted. They have nothing in common, for the record. -_-)

I THINK YOU HAVE LET THIS IDEA INCUBATE LONG ENOUGH AND YOU SHOULD WRITE IT NOW WITHOUT HESITATING.

...

C WAT I DID HERE?

I THINK THIS HAS GONE PAST INCUBATION AND INTO BURIAL

but I'll keep it in mind. >_>

(I can't find my other notes! argh! they may be on my dead computer. D: that would be said, as I'm fairly sure they're in the same file as the notes about the story where Jin and Yamapi decide Terada needs a girlfriend and they'd make great matchmakers...)

(in my head he turns out to be gay and I'm pretty sure he gets to hook up with the hot choreographer. without pin's help, natch. XD)

MAKE NEW NOTES. THEY WANT TO COME OUT (hee) OF YOUR HEAD MERFACE THEY TOLD ME SO THEMSELVES.

I really, really hope those notes exist, though, because that is just spiffy. I love Terada.
