Kayim Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I was thinking that it might be nice, as a Lost fanfic writer, to get together with other writers at the con, perhaps during a quieter moment (during the signing/photo sessions if the schedule for Eclipse is anything to go by). We could just have a "drop in" group where people could brainstorm fic ideas, maybe work on some short pieces together. Do you think anyone would be interested?

I was thinking just short fics with prompts, like what would character A do in situation B. It would just be more something to do in the quieter moments to get to know other people at the con.

Butterfly_Kate Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I would come. I haven't been writing much Lost fic of late, but it'd be good to do so, especially with other people :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayim Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Excellent! Feel free to spread the word. I'm wondering if there might be somewhere that Showmasters can arrange for us to "hang out". Will have to ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly_Kate Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If worst comes to worst we can just grab a coffee and have a chat! It'll be good to talk about fic writing with people in person. Where do you guys archive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kayim Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 I tend to use my LiveJournal for fic. Well, both of my LJ's (one was supposed to be for fic specifically, but I keep forgetting to update it!!) http://kayim.livejournal.com http://community.livejournal.com/kayim_fics/ And coffee always works for me!!

night_sky_dream Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I'll come to this. Maybe I can get some tips on how to get past three chapters I seem to be only able to do one-shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not from me you wont :) My fics tend towards the shorter side. Except for my AU, which is threatening to take over my entire life!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfly_Kate Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Awesome, Kayim, I archive mainly on LJ too Lauren; I'm not too good with longer fics either. But lately I've been finding it helps to not show anyone til it's done completely. But then you're writing something long without anyone to tell you what they think of it. Long fics are just difficult. And sometimes you can do so much more with one shots anyways. I should probably be saving this for the actual day, shouldn't I? Hehe!

night_sky_dream Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 (edited) I think that's my main problem, I write the first chapter and think it's okay so I post it and then I'm under pressure to write more chapters so I rush that and normally post about 3 chapters in one day, then I read it again and think it sounds awful so I just delete it and then give up writing for a few months The only fic I have online now is the first ever Kaniel (Kate/Dan) fic, if that ship takes off and becomes Canon I can be proud of that I was first Edited March 1, 2008 by night_sky_dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
