elen_nareI made a Writing Masterlist! :)
It took about two hours, but quite a bit of that was crossposting to AO3. I'm growing fonder and fonder of that site, it's just so much easier to post there than ff.net - no uploading documents first, no vanishing section breaks... If I'd been crossposting to ff.net, it would have taken a lot longer.I was actually surprised to realise that just under half my fics were on LJ... I'll have to crosspost the rest [don't worry, I'll do it gradually so as not to spam your f-list ;)]
Something odd I noticed - ff.net's wordcount is consistently 100-200 words higher than Word, AO3 and online wordcount sites. Weird...
Now, on to a little wittering about my writing processes, which I'm sure you'll find fascinating :P
I appear to have suddenly acquired a taste for writing tv show fanfic. I've always read a lot of it, but the Big Bang Theory one I posted yesterday was the first one I've written. I think it's at least partly because when writing fanfic for books, I like to try and match the narrative tone to canon - which is not so easy with non-written media. And looking back at yesterday's fic, it is mainly dialogue, which fits into my "match orginal's tone" style. (This does not, however, explain the highly introspective The Mentalist fic I'm working on for the "anywhere but here"![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fan_flashworks challenge... which I suppose explains why it's driving me up the wall). Still, variety is good :)
...And I just realised there's stuff on the daydverse comm that I've never crossposted anywhere. *headdesk* Time to do that. (No I'm not procrastinating on studying, why would you think that??)

I think you do a good job on the introspective fics. Don't worry too much. :)
And of course you're not procrastinating. The very thought!

Date: 2012-02-27 07:50 pm (UTC)I know... granted ff.net is also including the author's notes in its wordcount, but still, none of my notes go much over 50 words - certainly nowhere near 200! For the list, I took the average and rounded it down, so it shouldn't be too far off the actual count.
:) Thanks! Having an awesome beta helps *hugs*
And I'm not procrasting by reading LJ entries (and emails, and tumblr entries, and webcomics, etc) right now either. No, not in the slightest :P
