check in day 24

[autobotscoutriella]

Sorry about yesterday, y'all--I had an unexpectedly busy day and completely forgot to get online. How has your fic writing gone so far today? Or if you haven't made it to a writing point yet today, how did yesterday go?

-I wrote something
-I edited
-I posted today!
-I did some plotting/planning/research
-I sent things to my beta
-I took a break
-I dealt with life stuff

Discussion: Do you find that you write the same tropes/genres/pairings/etc that you read, or do you tend to write specific things that you don't find much of elsewhere?

I wrote, edited, and posted! It was a busy but ultimately satisfying afternoon.

Personally, I tend to write extreme rarepairs, OCs, and generally the kind of stories that I want to read but can't find, so my reading lists tend to be very different from my actual fics. I'm trying to branch out and get over the slight fear of comparison to other people, though!

I have been failing to write, as I am not using my free time wisely. I feel like I will have time to write today, but I may not, if my current trend of goofing off continues!

My reading and writing habits are pretty similar, though my writing varies a bit in that I tend to write AU, because my favorite character in my fandom is dead according to canon, so I take it upon myself to correct that little problem in my writing!

I clearly had no time to do anything besides real life stuff. :/

Hmm, I write a lot of things for exchanges, which means I write whatever they're asking for. Outside of that... I tend to write for rare fandoms, period - but I read just about anything I can find for them, so sort of both?
