Writing Meme: "J"
Sep. 30th, 2014 05:05 pmrepna asked for "J", which is, Which fic has been the easiest to write?
*snort*
NONE OF THEM.
Are you kidding? At absolutely no point in time is anything writing-related easy to write, but if it were easy, everyone would do it. So I'll break it down a tiny bit.
The easiest fic to write in terms of I did not have to do as much research as I thought I would was: Stop Watching. It wasn't easy to write because the emotional gut-punch of both of the main characters' situations was draining, but it was easy because I didn't have to do a lot of research about running, being a runner myself, and I hand-waved a few things about the cross-country program to make the story work.
The easiest fic to write in terms of I did not have to sell my right kidney for a plot was: Shadowlord and Pirate King. Figuring out the story was actually a lot easier once I got past the whole sobbing and whining part of "how the hell am I going to make pirates and ninjas work together" aspect.
The easiest fic to write in terms of I did not have to worldbuild anything was: Gold and Glory, Heart and Home. Not only did I happen to have recently purchased a book that had plenty of information on what it was like, living in the Old West, I'd also read it well before I even knew I was writing GG&HH. It also helped that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
amphigoury already had a clear idea of a few scenes she wanted to see, and that I was completely on board with it.
The easiest fic to write in terms of I did not have to try to figure out what it's like for these characters was: We Are All Diamonds.
The easiest fic to write in terms of I have no idea what this would even look like was: Dragonlord!Fic, because of the whole Sword and Sorcery thing I'd posted about some time ago.
The easiest fic to write in terms of I have no idea what happens next was/is: the Loaded March series. Although I have a very clear idea of how the story ends, I don't necessarily know how the story gets there, but I do have to admit that except for a few bumps, Loaded March has been pretty much a runaway train.
