Captcha has always been off on this account. It seems to come on even when it's off if you type and/or post too fast anonymously.

i feel like the only time i get any writing done is when im on a deadline, ie; writing for an exchange. which probably says tons about my motivation and creativity

anonymous April 19 2012, 02:27:18 UTC

any good sites for writing prompts, anyone?

anonymous April 19 2012, 03:38:35 UTC

There's an awesome pairing/prompt generator for SM fandom...lol orz. I just use random word generators until I feel inspired, if I'm so inclined.

anonymous April 19 2012, 03:47:12 UTC

links, pls?

I've realised that I write a lot in past tense although the fic itself is in present tense. Does this bother you as a reader? Is there anyway to improve?

anonymous April 19 2012, 02:41:28 UTC

Tense-switching is one of those things that's annoyingly more obvious when you're reading than writing. In general, write in the tense you prefer when you can, because you might have a habit of writing in it naturally when you're not focused. and always read through your story when you're done.

I guess I usually use more past tenses than present tense. Would you mind if the whole thing ways in past tense then?

anonymous April 19 2012, 04:19:44 UTC

The only time I really notice tense when I'm reading is if it changes, so no. I think most of us use present tense in fandom, but I grew up reading novels that were in past tense. Either tense is fine for me, just keep it consistent in a fic.
