Writing thread

[(Anonymous)]

Do you read your stories (esp. fanfic)"in chronological order", as the story unfolds? I envision my stories as a series of scenes and I have most of them on my mind before I get to writing. Today though, I wanted to write the last part (aka the smutty part) before writing the middle of the story. I just couldn't do it. For me, if I hadn't written down what happened just before, it was as if it didn't happen, and it made no sense for my characters to get it on before I had written the emotional climax.

So how do you do it F!S? Do you begin with the juicy stuff? Can you write the different scenes individually before weaving them together in your story canvas?

I do it chronologically for the most part.

If I do have some inspiration for some later scenes I may write down a couple of sentences or pieces of dialogue (It's often dialogue that I get suddenly inspired to write), but I don't really write down an entire scene. It doesn't feel natural to me, as I feel I sort of have to go through the story alongside the characters.

I find it difficult to write out of chronological order, but I do it occasionally if I'm stuck but there's a scene further on where I can envision what happens in relatively clear detail. Sometimes writing the future scene helps me figure out how to go back and write the connecting part. But that's not my regular method, mostly I go scene by scene.

I write bits and pieces all over the place and then edit them all together in chronological order. This is why I could never write a WIP!

1. Outline, if it's going to be something with more than one chapter.

2. Decide what needs to be written first to give context to something else. This isn't always necessarily chronological, can be a flashback or flash forward.

3. Figure out if the progression makes sense in terms of characterization and important plot information.

4. Write whatever there's an idea for at the time, or if there's a particularly compelling image that is begging to be put on paper then pay attention to it.

In practice, this means I almost never wind up writing a heavy scene first unless I have already mapped everything out in my head or even previously written bits that give background context to the heavy scene. However, it does mean that I can play with the order in which I present scenes later as long as it doesn't get too confusing for a reader.

It depends. Shorter fic: chronologically. Longer fic, in scenes. Which is a bitch for one of my last fics because there's so much stuff i'm excited to post but I still need to write the "in between" stuff.

Re: Writing thread

I generally write in chronological order, but I have no problem writing scenes out of order. Mostly because if I want to write it, I've got it plotted out in my head including at least some idea of how it's going to fit in with the rest of the story. Sometimes I'll flip between two different scenes in the same session.

Re: Writing thread

I like to write in order but I've finally learned that if I'm really struggling with one part and really want to be writing a different part, it's in my best interest to just jump ahead.

Re: Writing thread

[philstar22]

I generally write one-shots. And honestly, I tend to start with the sex bits and expand out from there. Because I mostly write PWP, and usually the starting point for the fic is writing something particular with the sex bits. So I write that and then expand out to figure out how they got there.

Generally my process for everything is to write the bits I'm inspired to write at the moment. So it can be disjointed. I don't feel the need to write in order.

Re: Writing thread

I'm kind of in a similar position. I have lots of ideas for the fun stuff, but I know I need to finish the middle part first before I get to it. I don't want to keep people waiting too long, but hopefully it will be polished enough to be acceptable. I'm not writing an epic or anything fancy, but I do want to make sure it is coherent and logical to some degree.
