Feb. 3rd, 2006 11:54 pmI love the sound of rain. It's so soothing.
It's been four days. My migraines usually don't last longer than three. Why does my head still hurt?
I stayed up past 5am last night (er, this morning? In any case, not a good thing when I've got a 9am class) reading a fanfic, and went to bed with some very disjointed meta-ish thoughts on writing and reader expectation and why the author sometimes just shouldn't talk too much about the fic because readers want to imagine things for themselves.
(And actually, this goes for published stuff too.No, I'm totally not thinking about JKR's interviews, really.)
But this was a 5/6am mental ramble, and I don't remember as much of it as I'd like right now. But I was interested in it when I was thinking about it (no, really?), so I'm probably going to try and reconstruct my thoughts on it sooner or later. Preferably sooner, while the fic that prompted those thoughts is still in my mind. But not right now, 'cause I've got a fic I need to finish.
And, ironically, even given my above thoughts, I'm really tempted to write a ramble about my Luke/Vader fic--it's the very first chaptered fic (except my first two HP fics, but those were crap so they don't count) that I completely finished, and I want to talk about it. ("Walking the Sky" and "Feet on the Ground" don't count either, even though both of those are finished chaptered fics, because there's still the third part of the trilogy and if I ramble about "Feet on the Ground", for instance, I'll probably give away future plot points.)
But even if I do write that ramble, I'd put it in a separate post and under a cut so people who want to read author intentions can, and people who don't want to don't have to. I will definitely not spring it on people at the very bottom of the last chapter so they read it before they know what they're getting into.
(Though the author notes that I did unintentionally read also managed to give me more insight into why I like the pairings I like, but that's also a ramble for another day.)
Anyway, time to shut up and finish this fic so it stops plaguing me.
