she's been part of the revolution long enough to change

[be_themoon]

Today in things Betsy accomplished writing-wise.

-continued writing Buffy/Narnia crossover. Jumped time. Ignored actual canon show timing (of course!).
-edited M.Pop/S.Pev kind-of fic written by me and Lass and Wyrm some and sent it back. perhaps something shall come of this?
-procrastinated a lot
-had this conversation come up while writing roadtrip!origfic.
Katie: I stole Anna's iPhone.
Lance: Katie- what? Why would you do that? You have your own cell!
Katie: Hers was prettier. Also, I was inebriated. It seemed like a clever idea.
Lance: (in his this makes no sense voice.) Well, that makes sense.
-cracked up a lot (both laughing-wise and mentally)
-wrote meta-type-stuff in my nostalgia!origfic. it is turning into a lot of me alternatively hashing out my issues with religion and my family and being really really nostalgic. So. Uh. Also, writing poetry.

In other news! Ever heard of erasures? Well, zempasuchil and lassiterfics erased each other's Merlin OT4 fics and the results are drop-dead beautiful.

Then Sing, by zempasuchil , an erasure of The Ink Still Drying
Writhe, by lassiterfics , an erasure of Rewriting the Old Language

Interesting to note that while Zempasuchil's remains fandom-relevant, Lass deliberately left out proper names, so it technically has no fandom, except it does. So, um. Read! Seriously! Gorgeous poetry.

i've seen so much poetry on my f-list lately! it's making me really want to get in on that. same with ficcing in general.

oh f-list, thanks so much for inspiring me to write. :D

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

GO WRITING.

I approve of this inspiring you. <333

Erasures, you say? I NEED TO READ THESE WHEN I HAVE TIME.

*secretly wants this done to her fic, but has nothing of good enough prose worth to make anything decent out of*

ALSO, guess what? I AM WRITING! NARNIA FIC! Will be elaborated in a post. :D BUT I AM EXCITED ABOUT IT.

From what I've seen, I'd guess it would take a long piece of work to make a good erasure - I'm not sure if any of mine are long enough, actually. Hm. *considers* Obviously, I need to write something very long. Hmmm.

YAAAAAAY! *squees happily*

[katakokk.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't exactly have anything long either. My only two works over a chapter long are all...well, they're not well written, first of all, and they're not exactly prosaic either. D: So yeah.

YES. GO CHECK IT OUT *nods*

eeeee thank you for your rec! Do you think you would do erasures? I'm wondering if it's the sort of thing that could be turned into an exchange, an erasure-athon or something! I would love to see if people are interested in that!

wow, you do so much writing! and so much of it original! I'm so impressed. I wish I were doing that sort of thing these days.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

I would actually love to do an erasure sometime - it looks like it would be a lot of fun, though I don't know how good I'd be. And an erasure-thon? AWESOME. LIKE REMIX, ONLY AWESOMER. YES. I APPROVE.

Way too much of my writing comes out all fragmented (I blame commentfic!) or fandom. *headdesk* I should be writing more, really - I had a spurt of writing vigor these past few days.

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

I will post about this! And it could be multi-fandom too, do you think? since you're essentially just fooling with the words on the page.

Ah, fragments can be put together into something though! :) I am a sucker for fandom. I love having the themes and characters already there for me to tool around with, and I loooove getting fannish feedback. but it is hard most of the time to get into writing for me. sigh.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

It could definitely be multi-fandom! And once we got the basics down, we could advertise in fandom fen places, like Merlin/Narnia/StarTrek/HP/any fandom we can thank of communities. XD

Thankfully for me, they can. :P I KNOW I KNOW. Fandom is like a drug, but it distracts me from origfic way too much. It's a little bit sad. D: Writing is also like a drug for me - I'm always scribbling things, and half the time they do not belong in any of the stories I am writing. The plot bunnies are totally going to eat me in the end. *eyes them*

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

Yes! Oh boy I'm so excited!

:D writing all the time = awesome. I used to be that way in junior high and some of high school. and then I stopped for some reason? man, lame. and I love plot bunnies so!
