dynapink's Feedback Exchange on my stories

[unfeathered]

Find it here.

dynapink has said some really, really lovely things about my stories and also come up with a few interesting points and things to work on. This whole thing has been quite an eyeopener for me, and very, very rewarding.

In other news, I wrote 500 words of Master Plan at work today. Not, however, on the upcoming chapter, but way back on Chapter 2. Since I seem to be sticking a bit at writing Doctor/Master (I think I need to find time to read some more of other people's fics to get me back in the groove) I decided it's time to start working my way through the little changes that needed to be made earlier in the story. And the one big amendment, which is this: trying to make Jack's submission better signalled and his motivation more understandable - or at least make it a bit less sudden! I don't know if I'll be able to achieve this, but I'm having fun adding to this bit. It's very rough as yet so still a fair bit of work to do, but hopefully it'll make it a lot better in the long run.

Yay! This Feedback Exchange thing seems interesting and really useful :D Good to hear you got something out of it :D

Yay for writing *bounces*

[unfeathered]

It was very, very useful - and great for my ego! :-)

Yay for writing *bounces*

Definitely! :-) I'm kind of burned out now, but I have a lot of flist and fics to catch up on so that'll easily keep me going till bedtime!

[chatona.livejournal.com]

Ooh, ego-boost is always good. And it makes you happy. So that's even better.

My flist is rather quiet right now. Might have to do with the fact that I replied to just about every post already and refresh it every other minute, though. Am working on the recap thingie for TW 1.02 *bounces* Oh, and I posted fic *bounces some more*

[unfeathered]

Yeah, well, if you ever feel like hopping across the Channel and babysitting so I can actually catch up with my flist... *g*

I find it so funny when I see people on here going on about being bored. I haven't been bored in months. I spend most of my time wanting to be doing about six things at once! :-)

[chatona.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Well, if I'm every around, I'll make sure to come over and babysit for a while. I'm actually good at babysitting, me. Or at least that's what everybody says *looks proud* :D

I'm... not actually bored now. I only get bored when I can't find the energy to do one of the five things I want to or should be doing and instead decide to just laze around. Lazing around gets rather boring, but I won't complain (much) *bounces*

I'll make sure to come over and babysit for a while

Wish you were nearer... *G*

*laughs* I certainly wouldn't object to living in England. I even doubt your weather is any worse than ours *pouts* And I love the language. I should move *grins*

[unfeathered]

You should. :-)

[chatona.livejournal.com]

I probably will, at some point. Not sure if I'll move to England, though. I'd like some really good weather for a change. But, yeah. While I absolutely adore and love my city, I don't care at all for my country and if you ask me, Germany is pretty fucked up. Not that I think the other countries aren't...

hooray for more Master Plan!!!!

[unfeathered]

Well, sort of more old Master Plan, but at least I'm working on it!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

pfft, details, you're writing, that's what matters!

[unfeathered]

OK, that's a good way to look at it, thanks! :-)

I'm just feeling a little frustrated, because I seem to have been on Chapter 7 FOREVER and I can't quite get there. I know I will, in the end, but I'm just not getting there with Doctor/Master right now. I did add some to the Master/Jack bits the other day though, at least.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

frustrated? at chapters of WIP fics that won't come no matter how hard to bully, cajole, argue, berate, bother or bug them? Why I have no idea what you mean... *cough* Old Man *cough*

[unfeathered]

*snigger*

Maybe we should swap? *g*

I was actually thinking about Old Man last night, and thinking I'd like to read through it all again - then I remembered the length of my reading list and decided against it, but the thought was there! :-)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You're even thinking about makes me *g* God knows when the muse I'll actually hit enough for chap 5 though

[unfeathered]

You're even thinking about makes me *g*

I know, it's nice when people tell you they're thinking about or rereading your fics, isn't it? That's why I mentioned it. Cos I spend a lot of time thinking about the things all you lot write - more the dark stuff, less the donuts (*g*) - and I expect everyone else does too and we probably don't mention it as much as we could.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

You don't obsess over alien donuts? How surprising!

[unfeathered]

Not so much, no. *g*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

lucky. I wish they'd leave me alone!!

[itsarift-thing.livejournal.com]

And the writing and characterisation is rather better, too
Must be one of the best comments to get about anything ever :D

I haven't read Stupid *expect feedback tomorrow*

PLEASE tell me you have heating now?

500 words? Wowser *g*

[unfeathered]

Must be one of the best comments to get about anything ever :D

Pretty much! *grins happily*

Stupid is only a drabble - won't take you long. :-)

No heating, but it IS COMING TOMORROW. It's just the poor gas man trying to fit us in along with everyone else who presumably has no heating...

Wowser

Yep. Feels good. :-)

Oh, and Hey you! And I'm going to bed. *G*

Actually, this one from smithy161 the other day is just about the best. I keep meaning to print it out and pin it on my wall.
