Even More Fic Writing Asks: (fic of your choice) 5, 25, 39. 🙂
Thank you!
Bit confused though… there is no number 39? I’m guessing because of sequential numbers you maybe meant either 29 or 30. I’m going to go with 30 🙂
Anyway you followed me from the Rumbelle days so let me go back in time and pick a Rumbelle fic. Lemme see. Erm, how to choose? Oh! In my last ask I referenced Between Two Fires so might as well go for that otherwise it’s rolling a dice time.
5) Did you outline the fic?
I never delete anything so I went to check my files. I am a planner but not always for fanfic. Sometimes if it’s short enough, then the plan is in my head.
For Between Two Fires I have a rather cool sounding summary. Seriously it’s got half the best lines of the fic in it. There must have been some heavy inspiration that day like brain was on fire haha. It’s not a scene by scene outline but it covers the main points, and the fic was quite short anyway.
25) Share your favorite line
Ok it was maybe not such a good idea to select this fic because this question. Argh!! So, so many. I know I probably shouldn’t say that because it’s egotistical but man I do love so many lines in this fic. It just hits the spot. Like I could literally quote half the fic but as I have to choose, I’m going to go with the opening line:
“You’re supposed to be dead.”
“I’m supposed to be a lot of things.”
30) Would you ever return to the story’s universe and write more?
No but also yes. I will never return to it in it’s fanfic Rumbelle form. But I have said a few times that I intend to take the premise and include it in an original novel series one day. Unfortunately ‘one day’ is kinda the operative word there because so many ideas, and writing takes so long! I rebooted my portal fantasy series starting Day Three of January. I’ve written and edited Book One (almost 100k) and I’ve planned and started drafting Book Two (got to around idk the 15% mark) but it’s JULY – that’s into the second half of the year. There are 6 books in this series so odds are not good that I can get to this idea before 2026 (which is so not a real year) and that’s if everything goes according to plan (which it inevitably won’t).
I do love it though. It will happen one day.
