We help the helpless (fanfic writer)

That's funny, because I only just got done posting to jukebox_fest. Which is to say, yes, music helps me write. Heh. I do keep playlists for certain fanfic characters, although I mostly curate them through YouTube which means they have to be malleable because reasons. And for general writing I will often put on classical, especially if I'm sitting down for a long, intense writing session.
