Re: vignettes vs. long scenes in fic

[biohazardgirl]

Don't feel self conscious :D It's all the simple matter that everyone writes differently too! That's one of the really great things about fic, you can do whatever you want! You can flesh it all out, you can leave it skeletal, it could be long or short or in between- the important thing is that you're having fun! Personally voice and prose style matter a lot more to me than the bare bones of the way that the piece operates (unless it's script fic- I don't like that half as much as regular). People on the internet just wanna read fun stuff by authors with cool ideas and good characterization (or, well, good enough characterization lol)- you're fine <3

Hm though if the characters and setting aren't designated very clearly immediately than I think that's less of a problem to do with structure than it is with other problems that the writer has irt orienting the reader.

It really depends on the length of the piece for me. My portion of fandom really doesn't write very many long things (out of around 200 Troy/Abed fics there's only four that top out over 10K words) and I feel that for shorter, character oriented pieces, asterisks are very effective while in longer pieces they are not so much. For Yuletide I was writing a bodyswap fic so I used them to denote whose perspective the piece was from, because it flipflopped, but if I had been only writing it from one and I had had more time I probably wouldn't have used them, despite using them in shorter pieces.

Pinch hitting for Yuletide against a really, really close deadline is a blast tbh I recommend everyone do it at least once. I think pinch-hitting is more fun than regular fic fests, cuz the deadline puts you in da zone :D
