Date: 2012-06-25 05:22 pm (UTC)Yes! I thought AWWW she knows it's me because I r spazzy fangirl who clings onto the music titles XD
Also YEAH how else am I supposed to come up with titles when my brain is on E because I've been trying to be semi-decent fandom writer XD lol. Mostly it's because I love lyrics, really there is no excuse for it other than that ;)

I'm excited about writing with

Date: 2012-06-25 04:08 pm (UTC)I don't think I've heard Arms *lives under a rock* but I will def check it out now. I love songs that inspire fic. I want to write a fic for Open Season by Lucy Wainwright Roche. :D

Date: 2012-06-25 05:12 pm (UTC)New Sigur Ros album is doing pretty well for inspiring me at the mo'. And anyone want a hot Harry?

I recently signed up my first fest in years. I wrote 1500 words straight off and now it's all tailed off a bit but I've got time. Also, really excited about a fic (series of one-shots) I started a couple of months ago that's got to about 40,000. I've learnt my lesson about posting fics before I've got the plot sorted in my head though so I'm waiting to post until I've filled in some holes from later in the story. I'm really enjoying writing it which makes a change; not too much banging my head against the keyboard with this one!

Date: 2012-06-25 05:15 pm (UTC)Also lyrics! Often a prompt will earworm me with a song, and I'll start building from there. Almost all of my titles are drawn from songs somehow, or inspired by them. Current bands that really make me think about their lyrics include Yellowcard, The Academy Is, All Time Low, MCR, We the Kings. But somedays I'll just have a phrase in mind and try to google it and the word lyrics and see what comes up that inspires me.

Date: 2012-06-25 05:37 pm (UTC)On the other hand, skimming the list to see if any of my prompts were claimed I saw a prompt that makes me itch to draw. Guh. But I doubt I can do it justice. Still. If I can get something going for it, maybe I'll drop a claim for that instead.

Date: 2012-06-25 05:49 pm (UTC)But I will still probably try it. Since my new colored pencils want to be used. As does my inking pen.
There will be scans made at random moments during the process so if I screw it up I can step backwards, I hope. Art makes me nervous!

Date: 2012-06-25 06:33 pm (UTC)One of my favorite quotes is from Stephen King: “The road to hell is paved with adverbs.” That makes me giggle every time.
My plan for the week catch my breath from all the fests I did before I work some more XD. Also dip my toes in the Avengers and anime fandoms I haven't written for in a while.

Date: 2012-06-25 07:27 pm (UTC)This week I think I might start to write something, since it's been a long time since I wrote than 100 words and I really want to. I got a few ideas. If don't write, I might just read Avengers fic or something, or finally do Harry Potter marathon me and my friend wanted to do. :D

Date: 2012-06-25 09:13 pm (UTC)Songs with lyrics were too distracting, electronic songs were too... thump, classical songs too sporadic, but I think I found my little happy place.
It's a New Age-y feel, all instrumentals.

I'm also inspired by life. I mean... I've had a lot of experiences in my life that I deal with by bringing them into my fic. It's cathartic and ... yeah.
