Introduction and Getting started Meme
Name: alisanne
Fandom(s) you are working on for this fest: Harry Potter.
Participation: (Writer/artist/beta/other. Include which you are doing for this fest, as I need to know this in order to make the meme challenges helpful.) Writer primarily.
The one item from your list that you most want to complete: Wow, just one? Well, I have several exchange fests that I'm participating in, so those take priority. So that means snarry_holidays, harry_holidays, snarry_swap and the hd_inspired MPreg fest all have to be done.
Items with a deadline other than this fest: Those mentioned above plus my phoenix_flies fic.
Most fun item on your list: Mmm, prolly my harry_holidays fic since I know the recipient quite well. ;)
Item you are dreading the most/need the most encouragement on: I'm not dreading it, but my snarry_swap recipient is well known in Snarry circles and she makes me nervous.
How do you start a project?(Do you take vague notes, outline extensively, dive deep into research?) I get an idea and I start writing. If I flounder, I then try to plot and outline.
In what conditions do you work best? (Time of day, the place you like to work in, the medium, for example.)In front of the TV (for background noise) in the evening on on the weekends.
One thing that always inspires you to create: (Anything. A quote, book, movie, artist, fanfiction, anything. Share with us, in hopes that we will be inspired by it as well.) Just about anythiing can spark an idea for me, from a song on the radio to a billboard to a snippet of overheard conversation to a color. I watch a lot of decorating TV so their ideas can spark something for me, too.
One general thing you would really like to improve on: (Overall; doesn't have to be specific to an item on your list.) My descriptions.
Advice and/or questions regarding the creative process that you have for the other members of the community: Advice? Write all the time, lol. I literally am writing in my head or on slips of paper all thru my day, and I think it helps keep my muse interested. *g*
A teaser from something you've got at least partially done:
It began that fateful morning when Harry woke up to find Luna seated across the bed from him, watching him sleep.
“Why are you up so early?” he asked, grabbing for his glasses. When she came into focus he realized she was braiding the tail of her Kneazle. Harry almost smiled. The animal looked fed up yet resigned. This was a common look on its face, actually. He often sympathized. He had to admit, being her lover was... different.
“Oh, hello, Harry,” Luna replied in her dreamy voice. “Today is the day.”
Harry smiled. Conversations with Luna were never boring, that was for sure. “Today’s the day for what?” he asked, sitting up and allowing the sheets to pool about his waist.
“For you to go to Severus,” she said, picking up a pink ribbon to tie into the Kneazle’s tail.
Harry frowned. “What? Severus Snape? Why would I go to him?”
“Because you’re meant to,” Luna said, patting her pet and setting him on the ground. “I’ve known for ages, but you’ve been really fun in bed, so I decided I could keep you for a while, especially since Ginny would have swooped in, but now that she’s with that other boy...”
“Dean,” Harry said automatically.
“Yes, Dean,” Luna agreed. “Anyway, so she’s taken care of and the timing was tricky since he wasn’t ready before, but now that he is, it’s time.”
Harry blinked. “Luna, I’m confused. What does Severus Snape have to do with Ginny or me or even you?”
“Why he’s the one you’re meant to be with, silly,” she said, smiling as she stood up.
Harry’s mouth dropped open as she walked towards him, her breasts bouncing gently. Harry allowed his eyes to wander a bit. “Luna, I dunno what you’re talking about. Come to bed.”
She smiled. “All right, but we shouldn’t. He’ll be upset. Still, if it’s only just one last time...”
Harry welcomed her back to bed with open arms, and as they made love, he couldn’t help but wonder what mad scene was about to be executed.
