Fic-related memeage...

letterblade'Cause I need a motivational kick in the ass, wot? *thwaps partial writer's block*
Both of these gacked from pretty much everybody. And they both start in the same place: go to my fic archives and pick a fic! (Officially Completed Fic in most fandoms; Officially Completed Fic in the Myst fandom; my memories, which contain all ficbits ever posted on LJ, as well as some mostly-finished fics, recent and otherwise, that I simply have yet to polish off and post properly.)
Now once you've chosen something you can either:
-request a "director's commentary" on it. (Depending upon the fic you may not get a terribly extensive one; I suspect I won't be able to muster more than a paragraph or two on most of my old HP stuff. But it should be fun, wot?)
OR
-post a line from it (but not something utterly generic; give me a fighting chance!) and see if I recognize what the fic is. And if I stump you, you get a ficletrequest that I will try my damndest not to flake out on. ^^;;; (I'll probably cap requests at five or ten, because I need to work on other stuff too, but hey, motivation, right?)
OR both. XD
I'm still coming down from the high of writing Arcana Viscera--that's really just it. It's not often that I treat a piece of writing like art, even less so with fanfiction; I probably broke some personal records with AV, how it was working in my mind, what kind of energy I was putting into it. Gah--that made no sense. Basically I was working on a whole different level from anything else I'm currently writing in fandom--possibly anything else I've ever written, but that's a different statement--and it's left me with a lot of insecurity about the work that I do on my more, ah, everyday level. (Because if I was writing like that all the time, I'd go bugfuck. And heck, maybe it's worth it, it would certainly be more enjoyable than most forms of bugfuck, but my life is unreliable enough as is.) I'm not even talking about winning the contest or getting reviews--though those are a fantastic high too, it's a different kind. It's purely a process thing. And irrational, of course, but it's kinda getting in my way.
I'm getting cramped up and second-guessy again; I need to break out of it somehow. Maybe this will help, maybe not; either way it'll be interesting. :)
I've been really curious about the posting-lines-challenge-meme-thing for a while, actually, because I tend to feel like most things I write get burned into my brain, but at the same time I have a shit memory in general. So I suppose I want to test myself, see which of those is true in this case.

Date: Oct. 16th, 2005 12:19 am (UTC)I very much understand the blockage. I tend to write in bursts- something will build in my brain until it explodes outward, Athena-like, leaving me high and dry until the next idea hits. And AV... well, methinks you're well aware of just how impressed I am by it. *gives you a backrub*

If you consider this to be too general, let me know and I'll use a different one.
