Fandom(s) you are working on for this fest: Harry Potter & Thirty Seconds to Mars
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, can beta for continuity/readability but hopeless with SPAG.
The one item from your list that you most want to complete: Item two 2/ Hermione/all malfoys, for a prompt inell gave us months ago. It's feels like it's been going on forever, lol.
Items with a deadline other than this fest: None
Most fun item on your list: W-Mail
Item you are dreading the most/need the most encouragement on: M'not dreading anything, but generally we need to be more organised and consistent, so just encouragement for everything would be good :D
How do you start a project?(Do you take vague notes, outline extensively, dive deep into research?) We have and IM convo about it, usually we write it back and forth to each other over IM, save the im convo into a word file, and tidy it up, then decide what we need to do about it and get a vague outline, we either divide the fic up and write separately or keep writing back and forth, crack and dialogue works best going back and forth, just reacting to each other. Here's a convo at the start of a fic "Sirius/Remus/Severus Flexibility
Post prank, Hogwarts MWPP era.
Severus convinces Remus to get his own back on Sirius.
jynx arrowstar: maybe first of all severus seduces remus
jynx arrowstar: he's hurt, betrayed, easy target
jynx arrowstar: Severus is attentive and manipulative
jynx arrowstar: convinces Remus to set up a meeting with Sirius to 'talk'
kit_clh84:
jynx arrowstar: shrieking shack, ironically and all that
jynx arrowstar:
jynx arrowstar: Remus... gets him drunk-ish?
jynx arrowstar: erm *note to self* alcohol is NOT required in fic
jynx arrowstar: in every fic*
jynx arrowstar: meh
kit_clh84: it isn't?
jynx arrowstar: lol
kit_clh84: ok. lets get them stoned?
jynx arrowstar: ok, gets him drunk, maybe a potion
jynx arrowstar: ohh
jynx arrowstar: yes
jynx arrowstar: but
jynx arrowstar: Sirius' joint is laden with...
kit_clh84: COKE!
kit_clh84: ACID!
jynx arrowstar: k
jynx arrowstar: coke
jynx arrowstar: sex
kit_clh84: lol. random cocktail of drugs
jynx arrowstar:
jynx arrowstar: has to be muggle
kit_clh84: brb going for cig.
jynx arrowstar: so he doesn't suspect it's wrong til it's too late
jynx arrowstar: ok
kit_clh84: but yes...he'd know what to look for with wizarding substitutes
jynx arrowstar: yep
jynx arrowstar: so they're talking, Remus asks him why he did what he did and stuff and he's wasted
jynx arrowstar: He starts tellign him
jynx arrowstar: Severus eavesdropping decides he doesn't want Sirius telling Remus why, so pops out of the cupboard or whatever at this point
jynx arrowstar: we coudl have sirius tell remus something at the end, and then remus feels awful because his reason does make sense
jynx arrowstar: and Severus can dump remus once he repays Sirius
jynx arrowstar: so we leave them both shattered
jynx arrowstar: emotionally
jynx arrowstar: and james can be like WTF, dudes?
jynx arrowstar: placebeo every me and every you
jynx arrowstar: and vast pretty when you cry
jynx arrowstar: and how overused do I make those songs, but
kit_clh84: lol, okem, we'll look for new songs.
kit_clh84:
jynx arrowstar: yes
jynx arrowstar: so what do they do to him?
jynx arrowstar: fuck in front of him for starters
kit_clh84:
kit_clh84: we'll think of something suitably nasty

In what conditions do you work best? (Time of day, the place you like to work in, the medium, for example.) As long as there's sweet caffiene (tea, coffee, coke) or alcohol and nicotine, anytime there is no distractions. I like middle of the night best, kit has pesky job so can't do middle of the night very often but we do seem to work well from about 9pm onwards, yeps definate nighttimes, night owls is us :D
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.) It's compltely random, internet cartoons, posters, movie tag lines, memes, quizzes, music, each other, our friends, e-mail conversations with folks who know not of the slash, my friend at work, our respective stalkers (which are real and not in our heads).
One general thing you would really like to improve on: (Overall; doesn't have to be specific to an item on your list.) Plot, plot development and working on longer maybe chaptered fics. Our fic are gradually getting longer but the only chaptered one we have is w-mail, I think I'd like to be working on a fic, poa
Advice and/or questions regarding the creative process that you have for the other members of the community: Erm... not really? Only that there are no bad ideas, just crack fic and un-crackfic.
A teaser from something you've got at least partially done:
"“So you don't really fancy girls then.”
“Only in the same why you fancy that American model.”
“You find them aesthetically pleasing from a distance and entertain daydream type fantasies of them turning up on your doorstep and kidnapping you?”
“Umm… no, not exactly. Is that how you think about that guy?”
“And wank over pictures of then in Muggle magazines.”
"Yeah, that's more like - hey, you want him to kidnap you?"
"Only so he'll keep me as his sex slave. It's hopeless trying to have a conversation with you when you're this drunk."
“I know! You get drunk too! Then you won’t care if I don’t make any sense. We can play chess and every time it's your turn you have to drink a shot."
“What do you have to do on your turn?”
“ I get to make a move.”
“On who?”
“On the chess board, silly. Unless there’s someone else here I don’t know about.”
“Or I could just drink, since you seem determined to drag me down to your level of depravity. I can see I'll get no peace until I indulge."
“Really had to twist your arm, didn’t I?”"
