So here's another question: Do you get emotional when you write emotional scenes?
--- End quote ---
Yes, I have gotten emotional when writing a scene. Most of the emotions I get carried away with though are longing or the emotions of the bad guys.

Yes, and that's because emotional scenes for me are likely those pivotal ones I've built up in my head. So I need to totally immerse myself in them and sometimes that can be hard. I also tend to set the ambiance when I'm writing with sad music (as we talked about) so of course that doesn't help. After writing something like that, I find I need to take a breather and go for a walk listening to like... Aqua or something lol.

Depends how heavily angsty they are. But yes, I have. I've actually teared up writing them before. Once those ones that had me react that way are done, I typically need a break. I just get so into my character's heads sometimes and feeling the emotion of the scene...

Only one girl emailed me back and you know, her email really made my day. It made me feel like my email to her (which I'm sure was super teeny lol) was really appreciated. Back on FF.net you couldn't respond to reviews (and to my knowledge, you still can't, not without just sending a PM) so when I posted a new chapter I would always put a cheesy author's note at the beginning where I'd thank everyone who'd commented on the last one. Good ol' days of FF.net lol

Looking back, I realize the writers who actually replied to my feedback are the ones I became friends with. The ones who didn't were the ones I put on pedestals because I and everyone else loved their stories so much, but while I respected them as writers, I never got the opportunity to connect with them as people. My favorite fanfic authors nowadays are people I also consider to be my friends because we have those conversations back and forth, and it's not just one-sided.

Yes. When writing Still The One and Nick gets into a horrible car accident, Brian being the first police officer on scene and cutting him out of the wreckage....th at part of the story was very emotional and I teared up writing it because it was so sad.
I get like that when I'm reading as well. I'm not usually a crier but there have been a few stories that have made me tear up.
