It would be a totally odd way to phrase it, but maybe he heard himself saying the words 'like me' in relation to Stick and just thought "no no NO!!" And had to backtrack on what he had said. :)

Claire's gonna be back! YES! And she's gonna be in the other Netflix shows! YEESSSSS!!!

I don't know how to feel about the possibility of Elektra and Bullseye. I would love to see them done well, but I don't know if they will be done justice if this season has to function as an introduction to them and the Punisher. I kind of hope they hold off on one or both of them until season 3.

... So I just looked up escrima sticks and to me they look like what Matt uses in the show. *confused*

A billy club looks like a miniature baseball bat to me.

Yeah, what he uses in the show are pretty different from his weapons in the comics.

I'm pretty sure TV!Matt uses escrima sticks.

What's your Creative Process?

(Anonymous) 2015-07-07 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
How do you guys write? Do you plan things out before hand? Do you do a lot of prewriting then go back? How long does it take you to write things?

I always like hearing about people's writing processes. :)

Re: What's your Creative Process?

I generally start with an idea and a few lines of dialog and start writing. The rest of it flows from there. I generally try to write something every single day because then it becomes easier and easier to write.

Well, I've started filling a prompt after a stretch of about 10+ years since I wrote anything, and apparently my style is to write snippets of scenes and dialogue at random and then puzzle-piece them together.

I've got one line of dialogue that's pretty much bounced around every possible location in one scene before I found the right place for it.

Omg, same here. The first scene I wrote for "This is not your city" turned out to be the current chapter 2. And then I wrote 3, then 1, ect...

Somebody please explain why I got a math equation for the catchpa. I don't wanna do math on a kinkmeme!

Re: Catchpa Rant Post

Yeah, if I get an annoying captcha I just get it wrong on purpose, and usually the next one is easier.

The drawback is, if you get the captcha wrong too many times, your comment will misfire.

Acronyms

Okay, silly question that I'm glad I can ask anon: What does AYRT stand for? Google was extremely unhelpful.

Re: Acronyms

(Anonymous) 2015-07-07 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
Anon You Replied To

Some other helpful acronyms:

DA = different anon

SA = same anon (this is for when you reply to your own comment and you want to state that you are still the same person who wrote the above comment)

OMG YES. i learned about this in my ap gov class: one of the main ringleaders of the group was a woman who was the closest thing to a real-life natasha romanov you could get.

that's more of a hot cocoa thing, in my experience. i do pity any fellow americans who carry this practice over to coffee, though.

Yep, it's a thing. Just Google instant or water-soluble coffee.

Folgers and Nescafe come to mind immediately.

I think it's just how DW captchas work. As far as I know, they start enforcing captchas after a certain number of comments on a post (4,000, I think?). And the math thing is probably what DW automatically puts there. Not sure if you can change it to something a little less math-y. :-)

I'm a very visual person, and for me it usually starts with something I see in my head. Sometimes it's literally like a scene starts playing like a little mind-movie. I call those my "scene flashes". And then it's easy to just sit down and write the characters talking in my head. (Okay, that sounds a little schizophrenic, but I swear it's innocuous. They don't tell me to do things. :-P)

Sometimes it's just that scene that ends at some point, and then I need to stop writing, sit back, and really ponder where I wanna go or what the characters would do/say next. And sometimes it pours out all at once until the fic/chapter is done. (This is usually means I don't get as much sleep as I should, cause I can only really write in the evening, and it's not like my brain is on a sensible schedule.)

It rarely happens that I plan my fics or draw sketches or schedules or storyboards or anything like that. I think I've only done that once or twice, for very long, more complicated fics where I needed to figure out what was happening when (like on which weekdays) in order not to mess up the timeline.

And when I have ideas that I can't write right away, I just put down notes at the end of the story to flesh out later.

I usually also write chronologically, cause that's just how my brain works. I've been known to flesh out a few things further down the line if I get inspired and don't wanna lose the thread, but then I always find it kinda annoying to have to go back and fill in the blanks.

Hope that answers your question. :-)
