Randomness
Sep. 10th, 2012 11:09 pmI feel like my new icons are flirting with each other:
( no, really )
And now I ship Darcy/Bucky. Damn. Is there even fic?
Anyhow, I was thinking a lot about how to title my fic for the Deutsch Big Bang, but didn't get anywhere with it. Which had me thinking about how to title fanfics in general and how you (I) do it and which patterns and ideas to use. So I decided to just write them down, maybe in an attempt to get some ideas going.
( How to find a title for a story )
So this is what I came up with. If you know anything else, let me know!

Avengers babbling
Jun. 23rd, 2012 10:04 pmI'm having a lot of emotions about various Avengers related topics lately so I thought I'd finally write them down so maybe they won't come back to me all the time.

Irische Märchen by Frederik Hetmann
Alles ist erleuchtet/Everything is illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer
Okay, is it just me again or did anyone else think that Alex is a closeted gay man?
Pu Der Bär/Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne
Die Schule Der Egoisten by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
The review is for the entire series, so beware spoilers for all three books.
Also, some more thoughts about the Hunger Games that I didn't want to put onto Goodreads.
( thoughts and spoilers )
Omg, that got really, really long. I don't even know, maybe I got it all wrong, but tell me if you think differently.

30 Day Fanfiction meme
Sep. 1st, 2011 09:45 pm1 - How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?

My NaNo/bachelor-count so far:
2868 / 15000 words. 19% done!
Which is far less than I should have at his point, but I lack decent literature and even more decent time to actually write. :(

And uh, I'm gonna be gamemaster again tomorrow. Being torn between anxiety, panic and "oh, whatever", I kind of wonder why I'm trying this again, but I guess I just can't leave it be. Story-telling and being creative is one of the few things I'm really persistent at and, anyway, I'm way too stubborn to give up. Just ... wish me good luck, maybe, so I won't lose my confidence again? (I know I'm taking this definitely too serious, but just bear with me.)

"Pompous jerk" vs. "vampire pussy"
Sep. 14th, 2008 03:11 pm( Some thoughts about Mick & Josef after seeing 'Sleeping Beauty'. )
Apart from that - did I mention that Josef is, like, awesome?! *wants to squish him and goes off watching some more Moonlight*

"[...] For this essay, my goal is to put more in. To put together a kind-of Christmas stocking of ideas, with the hope that something will be useful. Or like packing the gift boxes for readers, putting in candy and a squirrel and a book and some toys and a necklace, I'm hoping that enough variety will guarantee that something here will occur as completely asinine, but something else might be perfect.

The First Draft by Max Barry
" 'All first drafts are shit,' according to Ernest Hemingway, and who would argue with someone who checks out by eating a shotgun? No, no, Ern was on to something here: when you finally crest that great mountain and stare "THE END" full in the face-when you, somehow, incredibly, have managed to complete a novel-length work-then you're about half-way home. [...]"

To everyone who missed my first post: Do you consider yourself a good writer? (part I). I'd still love to hear your opinions about this. :)
So here's the question of the day.
Feb. 18th, 2008 04:37 pmI know this is a question that probably is looked at rather sceptical. I guess you could even say it's a small taboo among writers, because hey – who wants to look like a show-off saying their writing is oh-so fantastic? Right? Right.
However, if you want to tell me you've never asked yourself whether you are a good writer or not, then I clearly won't believe you. Everyone does that and everyone has some sort of opinion about the things they write. And I would love to hear yours.
After all, if you write fanfiction, you need to have the confidence to say: "I like what I wrote and I think it's good enough to be posted and read by others." Or – if you don't think like that – what makes you post your fics, anyway? What is your reasoning, what your motivation?
(I'm going to write about my self-opinion as well later on or tomorrow, but now I should be off learning about ten pages for Digital Media by heart. *blerch*)
YAY, I survived my Business Studies presentation! *does a dork!dance* (And I didn't even speak too fast nor did I stutter! *is amazed by herself*) Now it's "only" two more papers and creating an entire storyboard myself and then I can really start learning for my exams. Hoorray. [/sarcasm] (Man, I'm just glad, when this is all over. Why do I always have to wait until it's almost too late for everything? *rolls eyes*)
And last time P & P RPG today! Whohooo! *is relieved*
Oh, and
3ngel posted a nice meta about the principles of receiving and giving feedback for fanfiction in her journal. Unfortunately, t's in German, but there are some interesting thoughts in there. *loves musings and discussions like that*
(Sorry for the total randomness of this entry, but I feel slightly weird todayjust as on any other day as well, lately.)

SPN: thoughts on the characters in general
Aug. 4th, 2007 10:18 pmI finally got around to watch the end of season 1 (which was abso-fuckin'-lutely gripping and exciting and mean, and omg, Dean was so awesome) and somehow, my mind is full with thoughts on the characters, their relationships and the way they're depicted in the show.
So here alittle huge rambling. I don't know whether it makes any sense, but it needed to get out.
ETA: OH. MY. GOD. I just watched the first episode of season 2 and I'm fucking bawling like a baby. The ending of season 1 is just "WTF?!", but this, this is breaking my heart. *goes back to crying and watching ep 2*
