Pretty sure it's 5000 comments, but yeah, I think it's all controlled by dreamwidth. I don't think it can be changed by users.

instant coffee is big here in australia!! unless you own one of those fancy coffee-shop type machines instant is the way it's done. put a couple spoonfuls of instant coffee, some sugar, boiling water and milk into a mug and stir. i've always thought those coffee-pots (jugs?) were fascinating, though.

Re: What's your Creative Process?

I get an idea, then I let it sit around in my head while I test out different possibilities and try desperately to find an ending. Then I make a rough outline, so that I know where I want to go, and then I start writing. I usually write from "beginning" to "end;" I don't write scenes and then try to patch them together. I often go back and edit, add some things, delete others.

I know I'm quite a strange member of the fanfic community because I never post a story until I've got it complete. Because one of my really big pet peeves is a story that never gets finished, especially if I've invested emotionally in it, and want to find out what happens. So I try never to do that to others because I don't want to be a hypocrite when I complain. *g*

Even when I am posting my stories, I'll still be tinkering with them. Sometimes a reviewer will say something that will have me go back and add a line or two for clarification, or just to make the story a bit "richer."

I have been known to take months to write a story, but the first one that I wrote for Daredevil, The Nelson Shot, I completed in only eight days. You know, sometimes I amaze even myself. *g* The Guilty Party raced along at a very similar speed, though it took longer because it's a longer story. It's basically finished, except for the edits that come from reading the reviews, as I said above, so I'll give it a writing time of five weeks. And I've started a new fic, currently untitled, and it's coming along at a good pace as well.

I'm amazed at how fast I'm writing these days; I'm usually a bit slower than this. Maybe writing about superheroes is giving me super writing speed? Wouldn't that be nice. :-)

Officially licensed robot chicken no less. Somewhere in one of their offices is a little Official Marvel Stop Motion room.
It's kinda weird to think about, like knowing that writing the Hot Cops theme song was actually someone's job

AYRT-Omg, same! When I wrote part 2, it was in past tense and the rest of the thing was in present, so I had to go back and change it and now it's leaked over into the rest of my writing where it starts out in present/past and then switches to the opposite and it makes sense at the time, but I have go back and fix it.

Non-Fill Comments?

(Anonymous) 2015-07-07 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably a stupid question, but is it okay to leave regular (non prompt) comments on a frozen prompt post, or is it just fills?

Re: Non-Fill Comments?

(Anonymous) 2015-07-07 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. People do that all the time.

ayrt: i was really hoping they don't drop foggy and matt doing that. i mean, super senses or not, matt needs to focus to maneuver on his own, and he can't do that 100% of the time. maybe he just wants to chill out and be led sometimes.

Snippets of dialogue generally start the process, I then flesh out a scene and if I like it, then an entire story. Sometimes a concept pops into my head that I'd like, and instead of prompting it I try to write it, but again it usually starts with dialogue. I'm not so much for the descriptions, I usually really struggle to describe a scene. That may be a good thing though, because I'm amazed by how often I'm complemented on my attention to detail.

okay but like, I'm going to have to go back in after and replace all ten billion occurrences of "moan" or "scream," hahaha.
