Ganked from Various People

[beckyh2112]

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Upon request, I will post a random line or two from any of these you choose. Assuming that the file adds up to a full line, that is.

Feel free to pick another one after I answer your first bit, and feel free to ask for something someone else has asked for.

I've actually left out the files that consist solely of a title and a few notes.

*amused* You can tell all that about Zuko's relationship with his father from one paragraph?

No, I was ruminating on the other parts of the fic already posted...

I MEAN YES I AM INCREDIBLY PERCEPTIVE

I don't think I have posted any other parts of this fic. Not that I can remember.

This is Oracle!Zuko, isn't it? Or is it an entirely different universe?

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

It is. I still haven't posted any other parts of this fic that I can remember.

Also, related/unrelated? http://the-pen-calls.livejournal.com/13224.html?thread=252840#t252840

Neither of those are part of this fic. Just because I've written a meme-bit does not mean it is part of a full-blown story. In fact, meme-bits are usually composed entirely on the fly and don't have to go through me hashing out backstory and forestory the way fics do.

What Spyri wrote, while awesome, has gotten less and less relevant to what I'm writing here, too, since I needed different motivations for Zuko in order to make this story work.

Sorry, I got them all muddled in my head. ;)

That's all right. It's something I was going to put up as an author's note, though probably not so wordily.

But when I am doing a full story of something, I have to hack it out to make sense rather than just writing whatever sounds interesting for a meme prompt. So there tends to be a certain gulf between meme-responses in a world and full stories in a 'verse. Sometimes I can fit them all together, sometimes not.

That's totally fair. A good long fic takes some world building, you know? That's what I'm wrestling with at the moment with this time travel Harry Potter fic. Plot, oh plot...

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

Plot is sometimes the devil. >_>
