Another writing meme

[scripsi]

Gakked from lost_spook It’s of course gloriously self-centered to think anyone cares enough about my writing to be actually curious about it, but sometimes it has happened, and it’s always fun to talk about oneself.

Here is my fic at AO3.

Choose a fic and 1 (or more) question(s) from the list below:

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?
2: What scene did you first put down?
3: What’s your favorite line of narration?
4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?
5: What part was hardest to write?
6: What makes this fic special or different from all your other fics?
7: Where did the title come from?
8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it?
9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic?
10: Why did you choose this pairing for this particular story?
11: What do you like best about this fic?
12: What do you like least about this fic?
13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?
14: Is there anything you wanted readers to learn from reading this fic?
15: What did you learn from writing this fic?

Sweet Nyssa? Numbers 3 and 13 :)

I like this the best;

“Listen to me, Nyssa. You saved yourself. You have been brilliant and brave and I am sure that you would have saved yourself all the way home if I hadn’t turned up. But I am here now and you have been very hurt, so let me help you to be well again. Let me be the Doctor.”

Because it’s something I feel very strongly; that the only one who can save you, is yourself. But you still need friends to lean on sometimes.

I don’t listen to music when I write as I find it too distracting. And though I often have specific music, or songs, in mind when I write, i didn’t when I wrote this one, and I don’t think I have any views of what a reader should listen to.

Oh yes, I like that - very true (I did rather love Nyssa too :)

I'm a big mood music person, but can understand if others aren't...

Thank you!

I can be, but not always. I often listen to music when I plan a fic and I have plently where i have had specific music in mind. :) I probably got a little over the top in a multi-chapter where the chapter titles are all Elvis Costello songs. :D

The ending. Despite it being sad. :)

She picked up the crystal ball and whispered.

“I wish, I wish you come back to me, Jareth.”

But the ball only lay heavy and cold in her hand and no one answered.
