Quid pro quo, Clarice.
So I just came off a hellacious couple of weeks (which I will explain properly sometime soon) and I am feeling FREE AS THE WIND BLOWS. Best part? So many of my mental processes have been freed up, and I've been thinking about writing a lot more than I have been lately. Which feels so, so good.
I was thinking of a simple exercise I used to do with writing partners - I was actually telling![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
moonsheen about it the other day - and I thought I'd put it up here so that we all could play.
Here's how it goes: you ask me a question about a writing project, I answer, and ask a question about yours. Simple as that! It could be about a specific project, or something in general (like, say, "Who is your most ____ character?" or something like that.) And the questions can keep going back and forth for as long as you like.
I've always found that it's easier to get enthusiastic about a project and dive right into it when you can share your enthusiasm with someone else. And there are my ulterior motives, of course - I get to find out about everyone else's writing, too.
Just to remind you all, my big projects are:
Completed:
In Descending Order
Grandmaster Draw
In progress:
Catalyst
The Imperial Guard
The Hungry Ground
Possession is Nine-Tenths of the Law
And there are also short stories like "The Mountain Sleeps" (and the not-yet-written universe based around that story), and cowriting and such.
Let's play?

I...hate writing romantic relationships. They just generally don't interest me. However, I love love love the "platonic lifemates" kind of characters. You know, the type that have been together forever, know each other inside out, would do anything for the other, and giggle incessantly (or roll their eyes) whenever anyone suggests they get together because it's Just Not Like That. Kind of like siblings, only by choice. I always tend to write at least one of these in any original story I come up with.
Your turn (unless you're tired of these): What's your current favorite fanfic idea/concept/plot you've got running around in your head (even if you're never going to write it)

HMMM. Well I have a lot of fanfic ideas that I like but never seem to get written. I have this idea for a fic in which Taki and Tanuma team up to protect Natsume from a particularly violent spirit, and madness ensues (in which they meet Natori and become Very Suspicious.) It would be fabulous and adorable... except I can never make myself write fanfic. D:
Do you have any ideas that keep reinventing themselves?
