This is why I not down bullet points super quick if I'm at work, or try and memorise key words about the scene to prompt me if I'm driving. Sometimes it even works!

I could've written this secret in my sleep, OP! Mostly it happens to me when I'm in bed and don't want to get up and write things down. Sometimes I make a note on my phone but most of the time I'm so tired I don't even want to do that and I promise myself I'll remember in the morning, but... :(

[(Anonymous)]

I have the same problem when making secrets for here. I'll think of a good one but forget it later :(

[(Anonymous)]

If you have Siri or something similar, you could always use the voice activation on your phone to dictate it while you drive!

[(Anonymous)]

That's *why* you're thinking of those ideas at that time - the rest of your brain is occupied, so the creative side runs free!

...This secret reminded me of some epiphany I had last night while I was trying to fall asleep about the fic I have been half-heartedly brainstorming. I remember thinking "omg, that is a twist. That alone might make it worth writing, because they'd have to adjust for that instead of business as usual."

Of course now I don't recall anything about it except that it involved some character telling another character that "you're not the [something]."

[(Anonymous)]

Are you me? That happens to me all the time. I try and write down some notes in my phone so I won't forget my ideas, but they're never as good later on as they were when I first thought of them.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh I feel you, thankfully I get my best ideas while dozing, so if I'm fast enough I'll quickly type down a fic idea in my notes on my phone and then do something with it. I wrote my last fic this way actually, had a brain-wave just before sleep but managed to type it on my phone before I'd forget the following day.

[(Anonymous)]

Or in the shower... brains are perverse creatures and like to torment us.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh same. I do my best writing in the shower. it drives me nuts lol
I have in the past been in the shower, thought of something really good, then bolted out of there as fast as possible to type it up. It never seems quite as good as when I first thought of it though. But that's what first drafts are for anyway!

[(Anonymous)]

There's a degree of giving your ideas the benefit of the doubt when that situation happens, OP. They're always really cool when they're fresh and new but when you have to write them... sigh. Still worth maybe noting them down, though.

Awww OP...

1. What is show is this clip from?
2. I have a similar tendency -- except it's more like fanon interpretation of a character instead of OTP.
3. While I too once embarrassed myself (apparenywe don't talk about fic in public lol I was but a young and excited thing), and I still watch myself/try to gauge the level of involvement a person has with a certain media (and fandom by extension), if i were to find someone equally as into it as me, you better believe I'm flashing my power levels OP. How sad if we can't share recs and what not. Just not in front of others, but...I understand your hesitancy (i too still am hesitant). And now I wonder how many of us have interacted and never let the flag fly, just carefully eyeing each other, waiting to see if someone would give any leads. The minute you show a little too much excitement...sigh

*breathes heavily over Shadow Hearts secret*
Whenever this series has its existence acknowledged, I gain a full month of life. Koudelka and SH1 were definitely superior with their pronounced horror elements and more fleshed out characterization. Some of the best monster designs and soundtracks in all of gaming too. SH2 had better gameplay but unfortunately leaned heavier into anime-ish tropes. SH:FTNW just sucked all around in comparison to the first three.

Love the artwork. Is the artist the guy who did the concept art for Dark Crystal?

maybe the brutal schedule and working conditions shouldn't be sacrosanct in the first place?

Well, it certainly is a controversial opinion, lol

I do get where you're coming from. I think the whole romance does basically rely on us being charmed by Harriet and finding her intrinsically sympathetic and interesting. And, I mean, I do, so it largely works for me, but there is a gap of explaining how Wimsey falls in love with her. And she's only in 4 books, Gaudy Night IMO has a fatal flaw in how it deals with the romance (it resolves everything by changing Wimsey's character), and Busman's Honeymoon is wildly uneven and frequently quite bad, although I personally find most of the Harriet/Peter matter pretty delightful.

But Strong Poison and Have His Carcase are both really good and the treatment of the romance in Have His Carcase, in particular, I think is just phenomenal.
