bedtime musings

It is rather typical of me to end up being inspired to write after midnight, I just started a new fic out of a sheer need to get the idea out of my head. Now that I'm actually tired I don't want to sleep;;

(It's MTG fic for anyone who actually cares. I am still very new to Magic, both game and story, and my preferred method of exploring new fandom subject matter is to drop a thinly-veiled self-insert into the world and have to poor creature attempt to navigate it for 50+ pages until I get bored.)

This is still somewhat better than a month or so ago, where my writing was completely stagnating. Honestly, this new style of blogging site might be a good thing for me, it seems a lot more relaxed than Tumblr has likely ever been.

Okay, time to sleep now.

Typical of this household

So after it being missing for at least a couple of month my little bother emerges from his bedroom with a 3Ds charger in hand and says to me, "I think this is yours???"

I've only been looking for it for over a month;; My Fire Emblem Fates games and Pokemon Moon have been leering at me to finish them.

Might dig out Animal Crossing too, I need something to mellow me out.

I just had a possibly fun idea...

I mentioned yesterday that though I write a lot of fanfic, I tend to keep it to myself, largely because a lot of it revolves around the many, MANY OCs that I've made. Character creation is one of my favourite creative exercises, so I often spend more time speculating and thinking up details about my characters than writing them into fic! But having all those extra details to work with when I do get around to writing them makes it that much more gratifying.

Of course, this also leads to my main issue; I feel kinda awkward about posting my fic because of all these OCs I have running around, some of them having multiple versions of themselves for different fandoms, and it almost feels like I'm imposing this disjointed 10+ year mythos of characters I have stored up in my head onto anyone who wants to give a crack at reading my stuff.

So! To my idea; I could do a little series here on DW, an "OC of the Day" post every day where I basically pick a random character from my head and just, talk about them. When I created them, what fandom they were created for, how much they've grown, and so forth. I usually feel like screaming about my thought babies 24/7 anyway, and if just ONE person cares enough about any of them, it might get me in the right frame of mind to not just write more fanfic, but to actually share it for a change.

If this trail of thought continues I might even write up one tonight before bed! We shall see.
