Hey! Iust wanted to say, first of all, that you are a wonderful writer. I don´t think there´s a single fic of yours that I haven´t liked, if not if not fallen madly in love with. They are just really emotionally engaging. I´m simpathetic to pretty much every character and I´m completely hooked on the plot and the outstanding prose and pacing. The fact that you take the time to flesh out so many characters is amazing, because even if you don´t like them much, you get them. They are by turns wrong and right, lovable and mean, and so much like true people (coughmoresoandmoreconsistentthanintheshowcough)
Also, extra kudos for everythin Derek, because he´s full of deliciously angsty oportunities an fandom isn´t taking as much advantage as they should. And the plot! The original, amazing, complicated and logical plot! I have so much love.
Also also, and this is a bit more personal, but are you planning to finish all your fics? I don´t want to pressure you, but I thought I´s ask. I love them so, particularly Anything that´s Dead, and They were Kids. I´m kind of dying to know more about those, and about the HOWL verse´.
fics I'm currently writing regularly: anything that's dead, wolf watch
fics i'm developing/writing erratically for: they were kids, an inside thing, maybe sprout wings, the 'i turn my camera on' prequel-sequel
i haven't abandoned anything, but rise if you're sleeping, and this all bears repeating, a real hero, and game shows are on hiatus for now while i work on the others.
i tend to write ridiculous inoperable drafts full of plot and []s, or straight dialogue, or six takes on the same scene, and then come back and cherry pick what i need or fill in the blanks, so I end up with a lot more than i need, but at the same time, not enough to complete a chapter if i want x and y and z lined up in it. so i have like 50k unpublished HOWL and a very piecemeal 30k unpublished anything that's dead, for example. but i'm working on it :)
omgIlovewolfwatch! Bear is so adorable he makes me melt and coo at the same time. And it´s wonderful to know my favorites are still going. Also, I´ve been re-reading they were kids lately, and I never get bored. My heart just brakes all over again. I jave no idea how you accomplished that, but congratulations.
Ooooh... If you write so much, does that mean you have like... deleted scenes? alternative takes?
wolf watch cutscene which for plot reasons is now impossible: http://nonficsterekstuff. /post/103405726747/for-eclectic-wolf-watch-chapter-4-cutscene enough piecemeal anything that's dead chapter 21 drafts for you to never want to read the fic again (pretty spoilery tho, especially the last one): http://nonficsterekstuff. /post/103402114707/for-eclectic-anything-thats-dead-drafticles wolf watch werewolf politics: http://nonficsterekstuff. /post/103408207527/for-eclectic-wolf-watch-werewolf-politics
that's just the tip of the iceberg. *hides head in shame*
OMG I had to come here to squeal with glee, because there are no kudos on Tumblr! I will friend you and follow you forever with the wild hope in my heart that a few crumbles of wonderful, wonderful cut scenes make their way into the internet.
My poor Bear! My poor, poor baby! I can almost see the little thing saying he didn´t growl. Also, I´m so used to liking Talia Hale that the verse, your entire take on it, was surprising. One of the things that I love about your writing is that you take what we are all watching, and go "yes, but what if we looked at it like this" and suddenly, a completely new perspective is born.
In a vaguely related note, I´ve always thought the true alpha explanation sounds... well, narcisist *hides from the lynching mob*
About the Anything that´s Dead: *is left wide eyed and shivering with excitement like a chihuahua*
... is there any They Were Kids? At all? Please? It´s my most favourite thing.
What, Greed? Pfft, whatever, I was going to Hell anyway.
ask and ye shall receive... http://nonficsterekstuff. /post/103431320797/for-eclectic-they-were-kids-chapter-7-draft-snippet http://nonficsterekstuff. /post/103431588372/for-eclectic-much-larger-chunk-of-they-were-kids
It´s like it´s my birthday :DDD I sang a happy song and everything. Where´s your ask button? I must sing your praises! Also, I have a lot of feelings, and like to hear other people´s feelings too, and I desperately fangirl you. I will stop now, because I am aware I´m starting to come across as very, very creepy (I swear I´m not, though. I just get carried away by good writing.)
no ask button on that account, but my main tumblr is highwaytohoech.
you're not coming across as creepy at all! truth is, it's nice/terrifying to show some of my messy drafts to people, and these comments are kinda making my day :)
OK, so it´ll be a while before I can send you fan mail, which is OK, because it´ll probably take me that long to compose your ode. Expect Ash levels of epicness.
Now, here´s the thing: these are not drafts, hun. These are all baked and ready to serve. They´re truly amazing, the writing and pacing is impecable, and maybe you´re in denial, because no one thinks one is as awesome as one is (I think I worded that one wrong, but you get my meaning), but well, you are. Awesome, I mean. I´m kind of over the moon, because I´m getting pieces of the fics that I love, just because you are that nice! Can you imagine, if one of your favorite writers just gifted you with their unpublished work? That´s my life right now. It´s a bit magical.
And I have so many feelings!I hadn´t really encountered this quality angst, emotional conection and unique point of view since I broke up with Dean Winchester. I got into this fandom because the series kind of sucked (sorry), but it had good enough characters that they afforded some excellent oportunities for fic. Really, with the amount of issues and stupidity going around, it´s like shooting fish in a barrel.
Except... there´s not many people going there. And ok, I´ll be the first to admit I overthink it, but come on, no one in TW is really working with a full deck of cards. Where´s the delicious horror of the human condition? Where is the brutal emotional honesty? Where´s the fragility, the trauma, the inner strenght, the weakness, the sorrow, the joy, the bravery?
Well, in your fic, apparently.
