arduinnaWow, it's been forever since I've posted. Hi! It's been a hunker-down-and-get-through kinda year -- not all negative, but energy-intensive. I didn't even sign up for Yuletide, for the first time ever, and while I was sad to lose my streak, I don't regret taking this one off. I'm also prone to retreating into my own head in stressful times, and uh, hello present day.
But enough is enough, so I'm going to see if I can re-set my sociability a bit and get to posting more. Maybe even creating things, that would be nice. Maybe fight some fascism.
I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and do a January posting meme thing. I'll try to post every day, and if there's anything you want me to write about, feel free to leave a comment, with or without a requested date.

Date: 2017-01-02 09:30 pm (UTC)Okay lemme quickly brainstorm some random questions, and if you feel like talking about any of them, plz do.
What do you like to see in a very long story? (If too abstract a question--what sorts of very-long stories have you liked best, what sorts of plots, tropes, content, pacing, approach...?)
What about in a very-short story?
What is the most obscure thing you wish there were a story for?
Have you re-read any zines anytime lately? Which ones? Any thoughts to share?
Been reading any books? Tell us about them!
What helps you get in the mindset to create? Certain approaches, rituals, objects, thoughts?
Do you think it would be possible to have a story, written today, centered around the Night Court episode "Best of Friends", or would the period-accurate (& therefore sometimes transphobic) handling of some of it make it a non-starter or drawerfic?
Drawerfic: do you have any? Did you ever?
...are you sorry you asked for topics? :D
