11, 12, and 22 for the fic writer questions!!

Sorry I took so long to get around to this! But thank you for the ask :)

11. Oh no! You're posting a fic to AO3 and completely forgot to write a summary. What is your summary-writing strategy?

Can I be honest...... is this a safe space.......... this happens with every fic, which is why almost all of my summaries are just quotes 😅 when in doubt, pick a good quote and run with it! In terms of ones which aren't quotes: I wrote the ACS summary like five minutes before posting the prologue, and I actually did pre-write the Hymnal summary, but that was the exception rather than the rule.

12. Do you write in order, jump around the draft, or a mix?

I write in order because it's much easier to accumulate details (i.e. if I've written some foreshadowing in a whim in chapter 4, it's helpful to be on chapter 6 and know all the little things I need to include). But! Very often I'll have little flashes of inspiration RE: a certain paragraph or set of words or plot detail. So I invariably keep a second fic document called "[fic] snippets" and those go in there to be added gradually as the fic progresses. Like seasoning!

22. Do you have a fixed writing routine, or do you write when you have time? Is there a time of day when you prefer to write?

Night always, mainly because days are for working! Also I like direct sunlight, but it seems to block my words somehow. Night is best.

Do you not see why people believe astrology tho??

so i'm a custodian.

whenever someone does something cool like shit on the bathroom floor or get blood all over a toilet, i have to close the bathroom down by blocking the doorway with a CLOSED sign.

this sign is big and bright. it says CLOSED in four languages and has a do not enter symbol. it completely blocks the doorway. the only way to enter is to look directly at the sign and either move it or climb over it.

almost every single time i shut down a bathroom so i can suit up and clean a biohazard, someone will enter the bathroom with a dead-eyed, slack-jawed expression and try to wordlessly walk past me to use a stall.

and every single time, i have to block their path and say, "this bathroom is closed. there is one directly down the hall, marked by signs. please leave," and they either try to argue that THEY specifically should be allowed to use this one, as if they are god's most special little guy, or express shock even though they, again, had to contend with the CLOSED sign to enter.

often, i am standing there in the middle of cleaning up bodily fluids having to firmly repeat myself. they always leave angry or confused.

anyways, you clicked this button to send me an ask about astrology:

hi friends!!! update on the dead poets society gift exchange:

this post did nooot get a lot of traction but that’s okay we persist! based on how my life is looking, i think a winter dps gift exchange is going to be the plan

i’ll probably set up a side blog pretty soon, start making posts so hopefully people who are interested can follow the account (i’ll tag you if you’ve expressed interest in the past, or comment and tell me you’d like to be tagged)

i’m hoping to do a preliminary interest poll at the end of september/start of october, and then run sign ups from mid october to the end of the month.

this is my first time doing something like this, so i’ll ask everybody to reblog to spread the word as much as possible. and if you’ve participated in an event like this, or especially if you’ve run one, please share any advice you have!!!

that’s all for now, i’m looking forward to this!!!

布 Cloth 这世界被一张巨大的布覆盖着 没有人知道布是什么时候、由什么人制作的 不同区域的布颜色不一样 渐渐成为领土划分的依据 今天我要去灰色那边见C 他是我的小学同学，现在是一名裁缝，大家都很羡慕他的工作 找到他时，他正在忙 原来是灰色与蓝色接壤的地方破了一道口子 从裂隙里，我第一次看到了天空的颜色
