will flirt for cheese
Totally random question: Who still uses one of the old Livejournal site schemes? I still use XColibur. How many years has it been since they changed it? I will probably never change.
Not-so-random question: People who write (fanfic), how do you write? Do you just get the urge and DO IT? Or do you schedule yourself writing time? Or do you sometimes just start writing and not stop except to eat, sleep and piss? Or do you get all excited about writing and then procrastinate and feed the internet instead?
Subject line refers to girl!cat. She is adorable and currently curled up in my lap. PREVENTING ME FROM TYPING FIC. But that is okay.

2. I use an old scheme. I don't remember the name of it, but it's the one with the purple/orange/blue header and vertical nav. (I like the colors of their new vertical nav scheme much better--yay blue!--but the layout looks ugly to me.)
3. re: writing: ALL OF THE ABOVE. Although scheduling doesn't usually work so well for me--I just end up feeling guilty. Lately I've been working in "write when I feel like it" mode, because I just don't have time or energy for scheduling, and I don't LIKE scheduling most of the time anyway. Whatever I feel like doing is what I do...including procrastination. *grin*
4. Dammit! You tricked me! FINE I WILL JUST EAT ALL MY CHEESE MYSELF.

Sounds like Vertigo maybe? IDK really.
Yeah, I'm not a big scheduler either. Your attitude seems carefree and easy breezy. I like it.
MWAHAHA. But the truth is, I too will flirt for cheese. As long as it's not blue. :-P

Vertigo sounds right.I checked; it's Dystopia! Mmm pretty vertical layout. Even if I rarely see LJ.com proper anymore. :p What, I spend all my time on my friendslist...Ahaha, I am probably carefree about writing because I don't get to be carefree about anything else! /0\ Everything else is scheduled and timelined and deadlined AUGH. Oh college. I do schedule a little bit, kind of--this group of Nanowrimo people I've known since 2005 meets twice a month at a coffeeshop to write for a few hours, so I try to go hang out with them at least once a month, usually twice. But it's not guaranteed I'll get anything done. A lot of the time I'm just playing around with words.
ICK BLECH BLUE CHEESE. :( I am a cheddar sort of person, preferably sharp. I will also eat large amounts of brie, given the opportunity. (Which happens like once a year because I just don't have $10 for CHEESE all that often. But ohhh brie. YUM.)
WELL GET GOING MISTER :p (it's almost 1! I am fast approaching RIDICULOUSNESS. or possibly am already here.)

WATCH EVERY YOUTUBE VIDEO EVER MADEWRITE FANFIC ALL THE TIME!If I stop in the middle, there's a high probably I will never finish it.
YEP THAT'S ME. When I really really want to write something I just do it all at once or it doesn't happen.

Then again, I rarely get antsy about posting. I have so many fics, finished and half-finished and in many other stages, sitting on my computer, but it hardly bothers me. Eh, I say. If I post, I post. I don't feel the need to communicate my stories--they're more for me than anyone else. I guess that makes the difference between a fabulous published author and a quiet, private sort of author who's only published posthumously, yeah? ^_^;;;;

I wish this was true for me, seriously. But if they're just for me, then I don't go to the effort of actually writing them down. I can just watch it in my head (even though it's not really the same.) Mostly I wish someone else would write my stories for me... the way I want them written.

GOD, do I feel you, hell. If I could get out of writing totally--well, I lie, I wouldn't, but I do wish that some of my more epic ideas would be done by someone with more talent and determination (like the AU one where Merlin is a celebrity magician and Arthur is the son of Merlin's ex-agent) than I. I just can't do them well enough. //sigh
The long and short of it is: fic = urge, not priority. Real life is more important, yeah?

As for writing-- when I write according to the whims of my muse, nothing gets finished. It's fun, but leads to an overstuffed WIP folder. Signing up for challenges gives me a deadline that forces me to write, but that occasionally leads to misery as I try to get the story done on time. I've been trying to find a balance between the two extremes, but so far, not so good.

I empathize with this. A lot. But I'm looking forward to wrisomifu next month!

I'm so embarrassed! I tried to find out what layout I have but I was afraid to push any tabs-- I didn't want to end up with an S2 layout. All I know is that it is yellow/green pastels.
But I'm looking forward to wrisomifu next month!

Me on writing: Sometimes I get the urge to write and I do it. It's usually when there's something short and sweet to write. I sit down and type until it's finished. Eating, drinking, pissing - these are annoying and force me to leave the writing chair which makes me sad (I run everywhere when I'm in a writing mood...because if I don't it will fade and I'll be left as I normally am)
Most of the time, however, I procrastinate on things for aaaaages and feed the internet so much that I'm surprised it hasn't suffocated by now, really...poor internet *snuggles* and poor wips... I can't help it, I'm always waiting for the writing mood to hit so that I can be uber-productive, but I normally can't focus it well enough on my waiting wips...
