I'd be in the mood for some meta this weekend. General "How do you write..." or more specific character / fic stuff. Anybody got a topic or question?

Why don't you write me stories about dinosaurs? :(

Or Person of Interest?

[trovia]

Because I know absolutely nothing about dinosaurs and haven't seen Person of Interest? I'm not even sure what genre it is. Is it crime? I could write you meta on how to utilize dinosaurs as a plot device in crime?

[rap541]

Hmmm fair point about the dinosaurs but you're really missing out.

Person of Interest is sort of crime..., look here

But let me make this less hard.... what plot point or storyline would you have have changed in Highlander the series?

[trovia]

Oh, Amy Acker. Neat.

Now this I can do, although I'm not sure I can tell you anything that isn't obvious. ;)

I'd love me some meta on Caprica and Athena's relationship after Caprica helped her retrieve Hera.

[trovia]

Ahh, I couldn't. :( I virtually thought first, "Caprica helped Athena retrieve Hera? Oh. Right." Ugh, it's been so long. I could offer you meta on how I approached writing Athena? I still remember that. Or otherwise, there's always Gaeta. :)

[lorrainemarker]

Oh meta on Gaeta/Hot Dog as a pairing or just writing them.

[trovia]

That I can do! :))

Well, I'd love to know more about your Annie Cresta. :)

[trovia]

I'm not sure if I haven't emptied my head about Annie already on Tumblr, but I'll come up with something. :))

How do you approach writing a crossover? Anything particular you do to make it work?

[trovia]

That's an awesome topic. Thank you.

What made you decide that Haymitch/Finnick would work? I never would have thought about that pairing, but now they seem meant to be. :) What kinds of questions did you need to answer in order to write them, aside from the obvious question of how Finnick would get to D12? I'd also love to hear about how you developed OCs like Caramel. I think that probably can fall under the general question of, "What is your process for developing characters?" I used to study creativity, back in the day, and I always like hearing about the writing process.

And I have more feedback coming your way, I've just been snowed under a lot of end-of-the-year stuff.

[trovia]

Those are some awesome questions. :) I'll get right on that tomorrow. (it's 2:30 at night here)

Very much looking forward to that feedback!
