Snowflake challenge, day 8
Jan. 16th, 2026 05:06 pmTalk about your creative process.
First I need to find an idea for a fanfic, and there are two options
* I need to read this fic. No one does it. Or they do it, but by reading them I realize we have completely different headcanons. Oh I need to write mine
* Writing prompts ! Exchange fic ! Gifts !
It has changes with times. Now it's more of the second one. It was initially more of the first one. I think I'm reading less fanfics (and more novels, but I don't write novels). It's still a fix. I remember writing bad smut for someone I was courting as a young women, ha ha, and it might have been my second fic ever.
I'm mostly writing short one-shots, so the next part it thinking up themes, ideal, lines, lines of dialogues, all that motivates me to write the fic. Sometimes some new themes or narrative parallels appear by themselves as i'm writing. It's good.
I'm so bad with long form. So many things I have started and never finished.
The last line is very important to me, it needs to be good!
I'm so bad at titles. half the time, my strategy for finding a title is crying to me beta or another friend that I can't find one, and they give me a half-hearted attemps, and ti's still better than all I could have found in hours. So I'm taking it shamelessly.
