Re: ORIGINAL STUFF THREAD

[(Anonymous)]

...I have ideas, but need to get off my ass and whip myself into actually writing them. It's difficult because in fandom writing is such a social experience, but I haven't really been able to find a social environment for an original wip (which makes sense, I'm not saying it doesn't).

This is almost word for word the problem I have...it's really disheartening to observe how almost ragey people get about WIPs, and yet, with my life littered with unfinished projects, I can't really blame them.

Plus, the project I had in mind is for one of yesteryear's fandoms (Harry Potter) and yet, it's so close to being an original fic (Grindelwald-era pastfic, all-OC cast) that there would be only a tiny audience for it, at best. And it would require a metric fuckton of research and even so, involve all the risks of writing about a group I don't belong to. (Half the fic was to take place in a Polish shtetl, and most of the other half in the magical part of Prague, in the 1930s...you can probably guess where this was going.)

Dude, anon, let me know if/when you do something with that HP pastfic, because I would love to read that. Really. That sounds awesome. In fact, if you have/had it posted in that form, I would have been exactly the tiny audience for it.

I also used to write HP pastfic with an almost-exclusively OC cast! My thing was Victorian/early 20th c. drama with Aberforth Dumbledore and the Patils' ancestors. And like two of my stories in this saga were murder mysteries.

I totally get that feeling of when you've done a bunch of research, and put all this development into the PAST of this pre-existing universe, and created a bunch of OCs... You get to a point and look at it and see that a majority of it is totally original and unique, but coming up with a new framework for it is such a pain in the ass.

Links? That sounds amazing!

I hasten to add this is the crap I was writing in high school (almost 10 years ago), and that I only ever posted the beginning of the first story. You can read more about the series here. I wrote the beginning of "A Poison Tree" and I actually rather like it, so if you really want I can email it to you (and tell you whodunnit). That's the one I would adapt if I were to ever make it original.

Everything else exists only in the form of notes, random scenes, and drawings. I should write down some of the content that exists only in my head before I forget everything completely.

Oh yes, please! I'd love to read that--even if it's just the beginning. I'm kind of in awe of how many young writers are prepared to tackle big, challenging projects and themes--it must be that fandom encourages it, which is great.

Okay, I'm gonna do a quick polish on this nonsense as it seems the only draft I have on this computer is my beta's with markup, and transcribe my outline (I totally wrote it on the back of some algebra homework, aaaah!) so it may be like 48 hours to do that. But I marked your message as unread to remind myself to do that. Getting these papers out is a total nostalgia bomb.

Oh goodness, don't sweat it! I'll happily read it whenever it shows up--I haven't read Potterfic for the longest time, and this is the biggest nostalgia trip for me!
