Action Sequences

ACTION

You can have too much action.

Don't worry, it's not a problem for most of us. Certain people have heard me say, over and over and over, ad nauseam, I hate writing action scenes. I don't think I'm alone. So, because I hate them and try to avoid them, I work hard to include them

This was a brillant post. Thank you for sharing.

I feed off of writing action scenes. It's a pain in the ass but when it's all said and done--I feel like I've accomplished something.

Walking On Knives

Very interesting post, though I'm actually posting about something different

-Also read and loved your fic Belfast, which is pretty weird cause I normally Sarkney

You normally Sarkney what? This is going to drive me crazy. Hate it? Just don't care one way or the other? Think it's so flat out ridiculous all you can do is laugh?

But thank you for the compliments to Knives---and Belfast.

Until I read this, it never occurred to me anyone might think Sark would die at the bank, because I knew he didn't. So the suspense there was inadvertant.

Oops, sorry about that, should have checked the post over, but I was in a bit of a rush. And your first guess was right. I normally hate Sarkney, not sure why. I think it's that I don't like the idea of Sark falling for Sydney just like everyone else. (I wouldn't mind a fic where Syd falls for Sark but the feelings aren't returned, but at the moment I think it'd probably more likely be the other way around.)

I do sometimes read Sarkneys though, when I'm in desperate need of a bit of a well written Sark, and can't finy any elsewhere, and then I tend to leave them half read. (It's quite annoying just how good writers Sarkney shippers are!)
And so that was a compliment! :)

Btw, have you ever felt the urge to write a Lauren/Sark or Allison/Sark fic? Please? :)

Love it. Is it fate that I find this just hours before I print out a long fic and start editing it? I think so!
