Fluff, Relationships, and Traditions

[scribblemyname]

This entry is part 52 of 52 in the series 365 Challenge

So characters have habits, ways they interact with certain people and situations, things they do and like to do, stories and histories together. I've known a lot of my characters' for a long time but getting them all into fic is interesting, particularly for the ones I don't know that for.

I've got about five novelettes I want to turn out plus a short story, created out of the 5 Things Meme and then the whole Pieter/Ashen dynamic that originally played in my head before I even wrote that first Ashen drabble (and it is awesome to me, but got sidelined drastically with a deluge of other prompts), but, but, but...

I'm on day 265 of my challenge and story count 157 and I'm still plying angles and there's all those little things above that I'm itching to nibble at. Want to help a girl out?

Particularly of interest to me are things like where does Wesley work (not sure actually), and then relationship things that I haven't gotten to like how Justus always recognizes Shift regardless of her current form or demeanor, friendships, sibling relationships, Ilsa and her husband, etc.

Calling for prompts, as promised:

1. character(s) and/or canon/fandom
2. random word, quote, or other prompt

Oh, and I'll try to keep it short and fluffy or sweet. Try is the operative word. :grins:

I tend to write chronological. I get an initial sense of the characters and go forward with their story from there, visiting key points in their past that I need to know to know where they're going. I don't have to work that way, though. It might help to know more of the world than I tend to, since that always seems to be something that fills itself in as the characters tell me their story.

I admit, as excited as I am, I'd kind of like to jump in, though. I'm terrible. :P

I'm inclined to say we're on the same page. I worldbuild in story and thoughts spring out from there. I'm all for dive-in.

This is very exciting.

What are we diving into, though?

Re: Kingdoms and Thorn/Fracture and Recall Crossover: And So It Goes… [4/4]

[scribblemyname]

Depends. Do you want to start or me? How much do you plan in advance? I usually just need premise and that usually shows up in snippet, the first.

I don't plan too much (I find if I plan too much I won't write it) which is probably half my problem with some things. They're not thought out enough first.

If you have a snippet and want to throw it out first, that's fine. I don't have a snippet yet.
