I’m sorry I get so chatty scattered on Twitter. I use it to mark pages I want to revisit and things I want to remember. It’s kind of like my roving notepad while I’m doing whatever.<\/p>\n
I have whole conversations in my head, reams of dialogue and theme designs, so I write out the thought key that opens all those ideas up for me. I have concepts I want to develop, but not right now. And since everything gets sent to my tweet log, I have my notes neatly collated for me. It’s very helpful and I can expand the ideas on LJ.<\/p>\n
I have a Pinboard<\/a> account, but even with the little bookmarklet, it’s still easier for me to see everything on the clean plains of my Twitter dash and later on my tweet log. I bookmark things, but I rarely go back to them if the bookmark display page feels weird. (Delicious has a better GUI.)<\/p>\n I think there’s something strange with my brain. I don’t think I think the same way that other people do (sic). My thought processes come together in a different way than other peoples’. It makes me feel wicked exposed to talk about it, but yeah, I think I might be weird. \/irony<\/p>\n I like the Yoono sidebar because it lets me minimize Firefox and have Scrivener and VLC over most of the screen. When Firefox is fully open, I get easily distracted by the Internet.<\/p>\n I need the Yoono sidebar to be fixed so I can get back to work. I’m desperate without it.<\/p>\n My writing process: <\/p>\n I write in Scrivener with the Yoono Sidebar to the left and VLC player to the right. When an idea developes in my head, I have Semagic open beneath the VLC player so I can journal and write myself fanfic notes.<\/p>\n *<\/p>\n I’m kind of an island by Internet terms. I put out a lot of fic (between 39 and 100 fanfics depending on splitting collections into separate pieces), meta considerations, original content, and kudos. I tweet and blog, but most times I feel like I’m talking to myself, voicing my reactions to the various things I come across. Which probably makes me sound kind of weird and scattered. (There’s a whole side being left out of the story.)<\/p>\n It’s just that most of my Internet interactions are related to fanfic. It makes it hard for me to figure out what all the hullabaloos in Writer Land are about.<\/p>\n I’m either writing my shit (mostly original fic at the mo, sorry fans), or reading other peoples’ shit. So when I go on Facebook or Twitter or Goodreads or wherever the supposed social meccas exist, I’m way behind on anything going on. Even Tumblr makes me feel like I’m not doing it right.<\/p>\n So, TL;DR, follow me on Twitter<\/a><\/b> if you don’t mind that I’m weird.<\/p>\n I’m terrible about starting a conversation, but if you @ me, I’ll respond. If you send me links and stuff, I’m happy to share or have a thought about whatever. I do not respond to DMs from people I don’t know, sorry. (There are way too many “Now that you’ve followed me, here’s a link to my book\/movie\/crap” automated DMs. Seriously, if our first interaction is you direct spamming me, ugh. That’s a bad impression, dude. I’ll give you a chance, but I’m not going to respond to it.)<\/p>\n If you’ve got a cool fic, send me a link. I post recs to my fandom blog, so I’d love to hear about good stories. I read other fandoms, but my faves are: Avengers (mostly Stony), BtVS (I love a good hardcore Buffy story), Chronicles of Riddick (Riddick\/Vaako), Dark City, Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda (Harper!), Hannibal (Hannigram), Harry Potter (crossovers), Highlander (Methos), Hikaru no Go (Hikaru\/Akira but not all depressing, Hikaru\/Sai), My Boss My Hero (Japanese, Maki\/Jun), Naruto (Kakashi\/Iruka, time travel, Naruto is grown up), Ranma 1\/2, Smallville (CLex), Superman Returns (Kal-El\/Richard), Teen Wolf (Sterek), Torchwood (Ianto-centric), Vorkosigan Saga (Miles\/Gregor, Ivan\/Byerly), X-Men. I’m mostly into slash, though I can get behind a good genhet piece. Choosy character pieces, bad assery, lots of action. Plot over porn, please.<\/p>\n You can tweet me links, but unless you say you’re the author, I’ll Pinboard rather than retweet. I try to keep specific fandom stuff to my fandom accounts. But I only have one Twitter (and Tumblr) that I actually use.<\/p>\n
