Today's discussion topic is fanmixes! Do you like creating them for your stories? Do they help you get into the mood of the story for writing or does creating them sap your creative energies?

Date: Monday, November 26th, 2012 22:37 (UTC)I find that often making fanmixes helps things to "click" in my head, and gives me much-needed emotional inspiration when the going gets tough. Sometimes the fun lies in finding songs that aaaaaaalmost fit the pairing or the situation, and then pondering the ways in which they match and don't match what I have in mind.
