So, I’ve been thinking (dangerous, I know) but in the spirit of reader engagement, I’d like to try something a little different with my self-promotion this go round.
Instead of just giving details about the fic and maybe a graphic, I’m going to give a little extra. I’m going to be doing the usual, but I’m also going to create posts in which I reveal some of my thought processes behind certain aspects of different fics, some of my favorite lines and jokes, scenes I cut, that kind of thing.
If you’ve read my stuff and are curious about any of these things (or other things, I’m open to “why the hell did you do that?” questions) feel free to ask. I won’t answer the ask, but I will include it in the post when I promote the fic. And you can get personal if you want! I’ve said before that a lot of what I write is reflective, in some way, of who I am so if you want to know how a fic is self-reflective, go ahead and ask. You could ask about why I chose certain ships, why I put certain characters in the roles I did, what I wished I did differently, basically anything. You could also ask for my notes because I do keep those around, too. Also, if you’re interested about a WIP, you can ask about those, too.
Also, if you’re a writer and you want to take this opportunity to do the same thing, go for it! (Also, tag me.) I just want to take the opportunity to share some of the writing process. Artists can show their work in livestreams or time lapses, but writing is a lot harder to do those things with. But that doesn’t mean that what writing isn’t a very involved process, and I would like to share that process
I’ve decided I’m going to make a week out of this. You all are welcome to do the same if you’d like. But this is what I’m going to do
Monday, August 21st: FanFic Writer’s Appreciation Day – I’ll be giving a rec list of some of my favorite lesser known fanfics. (Multiple rec lists, actually)
Tuesday, August 22nd: I’ll be talking about Under the Surface, my destiel pirate AU.
Wednesday, August 23rd: I’ll be talking about Learning Curve, my sastiel A/B/O AU. I’ll also be talking about the current formation of my personal A/B/O verse and how I personally write A/B/O.
Thursday, August 24th: I’ll be talking about Some Things Last, my deanjimstiel fic.
Friday, August 25th: I’ll be talking about my wips The Dragon’s Keep (wincest), Sex Like it’s a Competition (destiel), Look Who’s Talking 4: Revenge of the Penis (choose your own ship) and Peacemaker (winjimstiel).
Saturday, August 26th: I’ll be talking rare pairs and polyships. In addition to the fics I’ve written, I might talk about some of the ones I want to write (totally not to gage interest or anything)
Sunday, August 27th: Free for all. I have no idea yet, but that’s what makes it fun, right?
