#ninety-eight percent of my wips come from running away with concepts and ideas and just generally seeing how I'd do something with a show

[dustylovelyrun]

Happy STS, When you watch a movie or show, do you ever narrate in your head how you would write it out?

Thank you for the ask, and happy sts, human!

Excellent question, and one that I believe with my full heart, soul, and core may have been subconsciously crafted specifically to call me out regardless of any prior knowledge about my writing process, because, boy howdy, there’s no way to answer this other than with a resounding, full hearted, and joyous yes.

Specifically, I’m ninety-eight percent certain that I mentioned I have an interest in acting and probably would’ve yeeted myself down that course of existence if it’d not been for the nineteen years of questionable parental practices that shaped me into the anxious, semi traumatized and awkward human I am today. I also had a huge interest in writing fanfiction at one point in life and would’ve strayed there if I had a singular lick of talent when it came to managing that, specifically.

My interest regarding both came strictly from the ability to further explore and be able to immerse myself into other people’s worlds. Add my own touch on things, or find little details to finesse in and weave in a greater picture. Explore what’d been left untouched, neglected, and left to wither, perhaps. Find a nice within, then see what little twists could be added onto it. And both became promptly thwarted by my general inability to avoid crossing the fragile but present line marking a work as independent but within the fandom niche, and then delving out or being around people for extended periods of time. 

Viva La Revenge of the Deceased was actually one of those failed attempts, for example, as the only wip with an introduction of it’s own. I saw elements from BNHA that intrigued me and explored them until a wip was born focusing heavily on tones of deterioration, loss, magic, friendship, death, the paranormal, change, elements that extend beyond both life and death but remain encompassed in both and strewn between, internal conflict, unfinished business of the undead, uncertain deaths and organizations surrounding the, acceptance, and finality.

And I’ve kind of just been doing things like you described since I was twelve, and realized that was an option when another writer did that and made a career from it. If I can let my mind run, change things enough, and build it independently on my own.

#writing #sts #so if you made it to the end of that? you're a legend and I absolutely love you with my full heart #I rambled and I'm absolutely aware of that #at the time of writing this I'm still very much stuck in the general good time happy vibes of finding my name! and just generally? #I feel very comfortable around humans in a way that I haven't in a l o n g time right now #I tend to ramble when that happens - which is kind of an issue but something I've long since accepted #ninety-eight percent of my wips come from running away with concepts and ideas and just generally seeing how I'd do something with a show #or book or movie or anything that was really interesting in the moment #I've done it with q u o t e s too and it still baffles me #but honestly just shoot me an ask inquiring about any wip I've revealed at some point and I could probably locate a fandom that it came from #I'd put fifteen at m o s t as having no outside source material and being purely within the confines of my own brain #this does not count viva la revenge of the deceased. pulse. haunted kids. soul begone. slipping around. shoulda been dead boys. #french boys. howl. awoo murder baby. sn. or that one other wip - getting lost between dimensions with a semi feral spouse tearing 'em apart #just to get them back and stuff #...OR that one where plot twist what the HECK d'you mean my partner sold his soul exactly one year ago and now's time to cough up? #there's a lot of them huh? I had to t h i n k about that for a hot second and that's just what's been mentioned with w r i t i n g here.
