...So I wanted to write a combat scene

Right. My daily writing widget was somewhat delayed due to computer issues, but I'm back. And. Uh.

This is... technically ficwork. For a longer fic. This will be most or maybe all of a chapter for Extraordinary Voyages, a fic I'm... not very far into. It'll get worked on (clearly), though I'm probably updating Letting Go first ( Read more... )

writing just 'cause, fanfic, fandom: tron/legacy, what is short?, what the frack brain

JUST -DAMN ( ... )

...:D

I don't think I've ever received a single comment with so much condensed happy-inducing praise.

Thanks so much. Grinning like a maniac right now.

Hold On was my first real Tronfic (got an abandonfic at ff.net, but not getting back to that for awhile at this point...), and my first prompt-writing, and... yeah. :) Lotsa firsts. It's probably my favorite AU I've written, which given that I (apparently?) specialize in AUs, is actually significant.

Letting Go is... >.<. It fills me with fondness/trauma, which is just worsened as the more happy the characters get to have, the worse it'll get... Your observations about both Sam and Rinzler are spot on and make me glad; Rinzler is uniquely unstable, and Sam's recognition of who he is (instead of who he wants him to be) is definitely a lot of what causes Rinzler to respond well. :) My update speed's terrible so far, though I'm hopefully improving that soon ( ... )

The fun your having in Extraordinary Voyages comes through, it really does. It feels like you love writing the action and anyone reading it can't help but get caught up in it. Hell for a minute there when he's falling I swear my stomach dropped like I was on a roller coaster and I could see the ground rushing up at me ( ... )

XD Wordspewing is something we share, it seems (I wordvomit all over the fics that I like). And... yeah. Still just grinning crazily here. :)

But yeah, AUs are just... it's really fun to take the 'what if' and run with it. Especially when one small tweak can send the whole story tumbling in a new direction. Sam/Tron interaction just makes me happy all over the place. And heh, this snippet will not be the first such interaction in EV. Sam's recognition doesn't come out of nowhere, after all...

Rinzler's perspective is something I'm having a lot of fun trying to get into. As either Tron or Rinzler, he seems to enjoy combat, and showing off in combat. But at the same time, he's so utterly broken, and on some level he has to know that--whether from half-accessed memory/directives, or simply from hundreds of cycles of being unable to access his own memory and purpose. And he's never met Sam, but there are so many half-triggered connections; just being around Sam makes him twitchy ( ... )
