I love music Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 ^Sounds like a really interesting story, it'll be nice to catch up with some of the older characters again. Looking forward to it. I just noticed, Red Ranger 1 (reading your profile in the above post) that since joining BTTB you've written several more fanfics than I have and I've written a fair few - but over a period of about five years! How on earth do you find the time? The ones I have read of yours have been written extremely well so I know it's not a case of just dashing off anything but I've only actually read two or three of your fanfics because I don't have time to read all the fanfics on here so have to be very selective. It can take me an hour working on writing a paragraph! Am I just slow or does everybody else, especially you, write very fast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything I learnt about writing I learned from Terrance Dicks:The guy rattled off 120 pages a month, you need to be able to tell a story effectively and efficiently when you're doing that, and having read all 60+ I guess it must have soaked through by osmosis.Most of my work could probably do with a second draft but I think it's a combination of forward planning and spending most of my working hours writing it in my head.And not having much else to do.None of them are particular epics:I think the longest is 26 chapters and the chapters are rarely longer than two pages. I am astonished I've written so many.(It's been a little over a year since I started...)At the beginning I was scrabbling around for ideas:Now I keep watching an episode or reading a post on here and thinking "Hey, what if..?"I actually chuck half of them out.I added that list in the signature partly so other people know what else I've done and partly because I have trouble remembering myself...

With or without a mentor (I had to check who Terrance Dicks was ) you still write very, very fast!!! I mean, I've not long come back online as I broke off to wash, iron, get stuff ready for work etc and I'm kind of half writing something but I'm very easily distracted. The only time I'm writing in my head is when I'm travelling as I spend most of my time in work talking while working and I don't watch much H&A nowadays so I don't really get new ideas, but I'm pretty slow with original work too. Anyway, this thread is meant to be for advertising fanfics so I'd better come out of it. Maybe if I want to write faster I should just stop talking so much!

Georgia Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Story Title: Nightmare Type of story: Short fic Main Characters: Aden and Belle of course BTTB rating: T Genre: Drama, grief, guilt Does story include spoilers: The Belle One - even though everyone basically knows Any warnings: None. Summary: He could have done something to save her. If he had been paying attention, he could have noticed she was sick. He's living a nightmare, and all he wants to do is wake up. This will only be about 5 or 6 chapters long, but I just wanted to see what you guys thought before I actually wrote it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
