idfic meme
May. 25th, 2010 12:11 pmUsually, I don't sign up for memes but I like the idea of this.
Plenty of writers talk about "showing their id", but our id is a vital and unavoidable part of the fic-writing experience - it shows itself in everything we write, whether we know it or not! The id is an awesome thing. Plenty of our favorite fics would never have existed without it. But there's always that pesky question a writer gets to asking (or is that just me?): am I getting my ideas across clearly? How much of my id is showing up when I mean it to, and am I showing off parts of my id I didn't realize I had? It's important to know these things! Conscious id-identification can only improve one's ability to evoke what makes that particular idea so enjoyable for us!
So, we come before you, oh sages of the internet, with a question: what parts of our id do you see? We really want to know! (Don't be scared. We'll only bite you if you want it!)
