Hello! I have a nice ask week ask: What are the chances of your writing a pole dancer AU for Tarlos? Just curious. And no pressure! Just because I happen to think it would be the greatest thing ever .
hey cig! thanks for the ask!
i've actually tried to write this before, but aside from a really elite sex scene (the idea was fantastic, i won't lie) it wasn't a success. I think maybe my brain is wired to seperate my creative pursuits from each other or something? i just struggled to get momentum!
i do think a sports au would be sick in the pole dancing world, although i do fear i would get too technical with it and everyone would be like 'lola what the fuck is a marchetti split? why is a regular invert not the same as a twizzle invert? what do you mean his elbow wasn't locked before he took his leg off in the octopus?'
thanks for the ask!

In Poet Fic, Carlos has some news for his old friend:
“I’m engaged,” he tells her outright.
She’s selecting a paper cup for her Americano, struggling to decide between a small or a regular, and barely glances at him.
“Sure. I figured it was something like that,” she ho-hums, picking up two identical regular cups. Iris never did like small talk, and Carlos thinks she appreciates him getting to the point. Deciding, for reasons unseeable to Carlos, that the cup in her right hand is the best option, Iris winks at him and says, “Michelle said you were all loved up.”
He thinks back. The last contact he had with Michelle was her leaving drinks at the honky-tonk, her last day with Station 126. He and TK hadn’t been an official couple for very long and were all over each other. They stared into each other’s eyes, got very handsy, goofed around on the dancefloor. They were the couple that everyone probably found pretty annoying because they were so into each other and wouldn’t shut up. It’s not any different now really, but everyone is used to it.
At one point, TK went to the bathroom (alone, not for a hookup, but for a genuine pee) and Michelle and Carlos found themselves at the bar at the same time.
“How’s Iris doing?” Carlos asked her quietly.
“You know, I think she’s doing pretty well,” Michelle told him, “This combination of meds seems to be making a difference. We had a conversation yesterday and she seemed very clear.” She nudged his arm. “Seriously, thank you. I don’t know where we’d be right now without your medical ins-”
“Oh, sure,” Carlos said, not even thinking about it, really, and what it meant. “As long as she needs it, it’s hers.”
He didn’t fathom that what’d he said to Michelle might not be true forever. Even if she does still need it, she can’t have it anymore.

I only just realised you're doing this and I certainly hope you're not still in an airport!!! But 2 and 3 and 15!
thank you for this ask, CIG! I'm sorry it took me so long to answer (although clearly I am no longer at an airport lol). I already answered these three, but i thought that for 15 I could maybe talk a bit more about my writing process? hope you're okay with that!
so my answer to the actual question (do you plan your fics or prefer to watch them unfold?) is that I do make a plan these days, although I'm not very good at sticking to it. but the process (even if it's not well followed) usually goes something like this:
1. daydream up idea (usually in the shower).
2. pitch it to someone (usually @rmd-writes or @celeritas2997 who are constantly being bombarded with my borderline crack fic ideas).
3. finesse general arc of story based on initial feedback.
4. write title and summary (I know, I'm a FREAK).
5. throw all ideas into a document.
6. separate ideas under different chapter headings.
7. write chapters as per idea outline, usually pushing back ideas as I usually come up with new ideas as I write, go way over the projected word count and end up with really long chapters.
ideally I like to post as I write (usually giving myself a 2 or 3 chapter buffer) because i find the stress makes me more productive. occasionally I pre write the whole thing but I have to say I hate it lol.
if anyone else would like to share their writing process, I would love to know!!
