writing meme!

[fahye]

Ask me a question about one of my fics -- characters, plot, what happened before or after, what the writing process was like, what scenes I cut or changed, other ways the fic could have gone, relevant bits of backstory/headcanon/worldbuilding, what a certain line or scene meant or was in reference to, what various characters were doing offscreen, or anything else you can think of. Questions can be as silly/serious/sexy as you like.

Four-day Easter weekend = time for memes like this :)

I'll bite!

- How does writing your lengthier fics compare with writing shorter ones?
- What are some examples of your love affair with the letter a? (Mostly because I find writers' quirks fascinating!)
- How do you go about developing a narrative voice for characters?
- How about incorporating thematic elements? (Hooray for meta!)
- Why is your History Boys fic so good??? I just opened your fic LJ to ask you questions about specific stories but got distracted by reading instead.

Um, clearly I love talking about the writing process and can do it forever.

First time I spotted this, I was all oh, but everyone else will surely be leaving tons of questions already, so the questions I would like to ask are bound to get asked anyway. Apparently not. So.

For Biconvex: were there any characters you considered putting in but didn't? Will they show up in the sequel? Will you write a sequel at some indeterminate point in time in the future? Is there a story behind the names of the original characters? If yes: what's the story? If no: how do you decide on names for original characters in general?

And last but not least: what did you base your choice of pasta-and-cheese on, in that scene where Peter comes home and asks what's for dinner? Did you consider other foods?

You did say the questions could be silly.
