Many Mini Muses

Welcome to sarahsan's fic journal. Most of what you'll read here isn't f-locked, but since I do lock some things, you may want to friend this journal for maximum effect. ;) Drop me a comment here, and I'll friend you right back. Thanks for dropping in!

Stolen from ashavahishta and posted here because for the first time ever, I have people following my ficjournal who do not follow my personal journal. *waves to you guys*

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.

And it seems like a lot more fun to do that than to do working.

So, if you wanted, ask me questions! (Or use this to ask your flist to ask you 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.

title: sinners
pairing: Joe/always-a-girl!Nick
rating: NC-17
warning: EVEN MORE incesty genderfuck! Also: religion. DUN DUN DUNNNN!!
summary: Instilling fear and incestuous tendencies in your children, one guilt trip at a time.
date: 10/23/10
notes: Again, this would NOT exist in any capacity without theskyturnsred; after I finished Jo/Nick, she was like, "SO YOU'RE WRITING JOE/GIRL!NICK NOW, RIGHT?" And then I was. ^_^ <3

( Mom confronted Nikki about it after she found the nail polish bottles under her bed. )

title: as breathing
pairing: Joe/Nick
rating: NC-17
warnings: The usual - incest and underage (Nick is seventeen). Also, large age difference? Also, off-camera character death. So, not quite the usual.
summary: novaberry wanted 35-year old, confidently gay Joe seducing now!Nick. This is not that fic. This is that fic's deranged aunt we keep locked up in the fandom's attic. Now!Nick inadvertently time warps to the future and meets older!Joe, who is much the worse for wear after a recent tragedy.
notes: This fic would literally not exist without theskyturnsred. She pretty much writes my fics now; I just give them words. Thanks, bb. :3

Title: MMoM #1 (based extremely loosely on Wolfmother's "Colossal")
Pairing: David/Timo
Rating: NC-17
Summary: An open-air handjob for Day 1 of MMoM
Date: 5/1/10

( mother nature's child )

Title: untitled wintergameskink meme RP
Authors: sarahsan and theskyturnsred
Pairing: Apolo Ohno/JR Celski
Rating: NC-17
Prompt: Apolo/JR - Post-retirement Apolo puts on a little weight (not a ton, just as much as you'd expect for a person with a history of carrying weight after a serious drop-off in activity). First time they see each other in a while, and JR surprises both of them by really, really liking it.

( He's possibly (definitely) overcompensating )
