Ten Songs, Ten Ficlets

[kovacsisdead]

Fandom: Watchmen
Title: Dancing Around It
Characters/Pairings: Dan/Rorschach, every last one. Mentions of Dan/Laurie
Summary: Ten songs, chosen by iTunes' shuffle, only work on a given ficlet until the song you're writing it to is over, then move on. As one might imagine, these are a little time crunched, and I cheated. I think. I wrote in Aaron-eese

Wow--ok, you call most of these silly, but these are are actually really, really good! Seriously. You have these great insights on the workings of a relationship in a writing style that's nice and clear and handles the romantic bits in an affecting but understated way.

Have you considered posting your fics to watchdom / watchmenfic / rraaarrlship? I think quite a few people would enjoy your writing, but very few people know about you yet...

.////. thank you, thank you. very glad you liked it so much.

ehh, nooo... I wasn't sure I could just... slap them up on other things. Not sure how to go about it. Will investigate the possibility. I know rraaarrlship, but the others, not so much.

I'm not going to lie - I skipped to #6 to read first XD - but then of course scrolled back up and read through them all, and holy crap. These are seriously amazing, even without the time constraint of trying to get the words out in a sensical way and with the care these show before the song changes, and WITH that constraint, I'm honestly blown away. I've done this meme, and it's *hard*. You've done an incredible job with these, and they're all so careful and nuanced and delicate, and the characterizations so perfect.

I agree with daylily, you should consider crossposting these. Share the love, etc etc. Very high quality work that a lot of people would be interested in seeing. :D

Hehhn. I thought you might do that. Was worried you might have wanted heads-up before I tore off with your 'verse, but went ahead anyway. The song was too perfect for Zombie!schach romance.

Very flattered that you liked these so much. Really, like I said, I cheated. Wrote them out in shorthand, then translated into long hand.

Errk, like I said to Daylily... wasn't sure I could just toss my stuff on other boards. And am not familiar with these internet posting things; manners and such in ambiguity. Will investigate crossposting on your recommendation.

There's really no posting etiquette except to, you know, use headers, tag stuff, and warn if something is NSFW so people can avoid clicking it at work. All of the comms(except newfrontiersmen) are pretty much a free for all, anyone can post anything they like as long as its appropriate to the theme.

And I don't think that's really cheating. Yeah, it helps on the mechanical front but, you still have to get the words out and organize them and make it all make sense in a very short amount of time. Shorthand or not, I'm impressed.

(And nooo, I never require a heads-up, I am always gleeful beyond articulation when people choose to play in my sandbox. :D Will have to dig up this song now!)

Rrr, I posted this one. Going to post 'A nightmare and a dream' when the third part is done, I suppose.

Hnn. I'm glad you liked playing. .__. why does no one know Whitesnake music anymore? I feel old.

[kovacsisdead]

Hehh. Thank you. Many different kind of music, so... many facets of the niteschach to reveal and discuss. Zombies needed love too!

Hurr... I like 10 quite a bit too.
