Never Will I Ever

Fie, self. FIE. (headdesk) Shiny fandoms are baaaaaaaaad for my writing. And by "bad" I mean "really really good".

I have porn to write this weekend (and it shall be short porn! Do you hear me, prompt? [fistshake] SHORT AND PLOTLESS). In addiction, I'm steadily prodding away at multiple others, including Halloween!fic (I♥Halloween), head!fic and several others that that I'm trying not to admit to lest they rise up and crush me beneath their wrath. The beta-pile is 15 long in various stages of beta. @-@ It grew! halp

I'm tempted to just self-edit and post the smaller ones, but I know for a fact that betas make me a better writer. I have hard evidence of this, obtained by using the Wince-o-meter. When I read self-edited a month or more after the fact, I wince roughly 3 times more than when I read beta-read.

I don't even know why I'm posting this. (flails) Here, have a meme, because [livejournal.com profile] jazzypom is far too adept at making me want to write lol.

Never Will I Ever meme: Name three fics you think I will never, ever, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

ETA: A second Meme, snatched from [livejournal.com profile] jazzypom. (My enabler. ♥)

Missing Scenes: Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.
