--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on February 04, 2021, 07:28:31 PM ---I am fairly new to having update days, but I get the appeal! It gives me something to look forward to. I posted Heroic Measures (my ER story) on Thursday nights at 10/9c, the old ER time slot. I scheduled them in advance to post at exactly that time LOL. I'm such a dork, but it was fun! Now I'm back to Saturdays because that's just easier during the school year, but I don't have a specific time. Sometimes it's first thing in the morning, but sometimes I try to write first and wait to update until later in the day.

I love that you posted them during ER's timeslot. How clever! I figure it's best to pick a day that's easy for you, but I also wanted to make sure that I didn't take anyone's day when I saw you were posting on Saturdays and Tracy was posting on Tuesdays (or at least had been for a couple of weeks at that point).

Suddenly in December 2020, Mare comes back with a brand new story all about Leighanne and the history of Wylee while Brian's off on tour. And I would say, "Yup. That's kind of how I thought 2020 would end."

LMAO I would love to read a Leighanne story written by Mare. Do it, Mare! I demand it!
Mare did predict Donald Trump becoming president and bringing about the apocalypse in one of her stories.
--- Quote from: nicksgal on February 04, 2021, 07:26:44 PM ---I think at one time there were definitely people who wrote with less planning. But of course Mare is a planner! And Julie, just because you posted a chapter right after you finished didn't make you any less of a planner, it just meant that maybe there was wiggle room.
:D It was not a suggestion! It was a joke! Like I would ever tell either of you my ideas for your stories. If I really had that many ideas, I would just write my own story. Also, if you want to put any of my jokes into your story, it should clearly be Nick howling outside the car or the Brian "seven days" one.

LOL True, I always had an idea of where the story was going, but I was more open to different ideas. I didn't start outlining until Broken; I was way more of a pantser before then.
I know it was a joke! I was just kidding too. Although if I could put Brian as Samara in, I totally would! Seven days... I actually had an idea for a parody of The Ring planned a long time ago, back when The Ring was still relevant LOL. Never wrote it though.

That might be even shorter than the groundhog April Fool's story. :D
"Chapter One: Someone told Leighanne on facebook that her bags were ugly, so she went on a long rant about freedom of speech. Then facebook banned her. She had nothing to console herself but her Christmas trees because Brian was on tour. The end."
"Chapter Two: Meanwhile, Brian was on tour with the Backstreet Boys and since this is a Backstreet Boys fanfic, he cared about his wife getting banned from facebook, but clearly had a lot of other things going on. Like carving MINE in Nick's arm..."
Mare, you're a wizard! And I hate it. Does he need a SAG card to be mentioned in your story? I hear he withdrew from them today.

I think we were all pantsers in our early days, but that was also when I could finish writing a fanfic in a week. It's hard to plan when it would take longer to plan than it would to write.
I know, the extreme exclamation points were part of the fun. ;) My joke has officially made it relevant again. Add it to your pandaskunk series.
I was curious if anyone else on AO3 reads your other reviews, because they will get to mine and be so confused because half of it is all very heartfelt and half of it is stupid jokes and references.

LOL So true. I was the same way; I averaged a "novel" a month. Of course, my "novels" were all around twenty chapters of 200-600 words a piece LOL. I've written short stories longer than some of my early "novels."

That would be the perfect place for it! LOL

LOL, I have no idea. I read other existing reviews on chapters I've read and reviewed, but I don't know if other people do that.

My Leighanne Story
All the boys are in the recoding studio laying down a track and in walks Brian
"Hey Brian! How's Leighanne?" Nick asks anxiously.
"Dead."
"Oh...huh...and a one and a two and a..."
