...:: I got the Joey Blues, baby ::...

This is the writing journal of [info]first_seventhe.
I was told all the cool people had writing journals. Seriously. I read it on the internet.




Contents, Communication, Criticism

I have been pretty much swallowed by the Final Fantasy fandom, in which I congregate towards FFIV, FFVIII, and FFX. Most of what you read here will be FF-related fanfic, although there are also links to [info]seven_beacons, which is my original work and in a constant state of re-write. (I have my own canon errors! Clearly I am a professional.)

Feel free to friend / stalk / comment anonymously on / mock visciously / ignore this journal. It's what it's here for. Most of these pieces have been crossposted in their related communities, and may have other comments there. I'm obviously not anal/organized enough to crosslink you all over LJ, sorry.

Most of what is posted in here is community-claim-related work. I do not consider [info]brokenprism an archive of finished work. I mostly consider it a bunch of ideas and potential (also, a mess!). I am not saying that I do not work on these, or that I don't have them beta-ed, or that I'm not proud of them. At the same time, most of what is found in here should be considered - well, like exercises, random flexings of my writing muscles. (Fear me!) Usually I am testing out an idea or theory or scene, to see how it works and what happens to it, mostly in the hopes of starting a comment-spurred discussion with someone about it.

Anything I consider finished will also be posted at fanfiction.net.

Italian translations of some of my work can be found here. Much, much love to Youffie, for doing this and making my somewhat-wonky fics available to more people! ♥ ♥

I do not mind criticism. I can take it hard. I also like random squees and/or simple ♥ comments. Whatever you are willing to give me, I am willing to take. I mean that in the dirtiest way possible.


Exploring and Organization

There are a couple ways to browse [info]brokenprism.

Tagging
You can go by tags, which will allow you to sort by canon (game), character, pairing, and arc (if there is one).

Memories
Memories for [info]brokenprism are a more organized way to browse. This is the system I use:
Fandom - Mems have been sorted into fandoms, in case you want a particular game.

Claims - Things written for a specific claim at a community have been memoried into that category as well.

Events - if a fic was written for a special meme or a prompt request, it'll be categorized as such.

Arcs / Verses - Since I have a couple separate fic arcs/projects/verses that I play in (FFX: Bridges; FFVIII: How Not to Date Blondes), I've also sorted out pertinent fics by their specific arc.

Format - How I define the fic in terms of finished vs conceptual, and in terms of length.
  • "Drabble" defines a 100-word or 200-word drabble, specifically, and is a finished product.
  • "Fic" is a longer-length work, usually a complete and finished idea that stands alone.
  • "Ficlet" is the term I use for a concept sketch, a character exploration, an unfinished idea - something simple, like an experiment; usually shorter. Most of what is in this LJ falls under the "ficlet" category.

Flags - I've flagged things like "Porn" and "Meta / Worldbuilding" and "Humour" - things that I like to write often. This is kind of a "sort by genre", where by "genre" I kind of mean "thingey".


Writing, and Goals

I like to meta, a lot. I like fic that explores possibilities. I love playing with wild theories, at times to the point of crack!fic, and I enjoy coming up with plausible evidence and reasoning to support these wild theories. I enjoy playing with magic and the effects thereof. I explore not-happy endings, what-ifs, and what-happens-afters.
I write lots of gen-fic. I like to add intrigue / suspense / mystery and see what happens. I'm learning how to write humour. I don't mind a pinch of angst.

I'm not fond of drabbles. I write them anyway, because they can be a good exercise.

I'm not a huge traditional- or stereotypical-romance fan. I do like exploring romantic feelings. I despise pairing names. I don't really ship - or I omni-ship. I like my pairings explained, rather than simply presented - even canon ones.

I love to overturn cliches, especially fandom ones. [info]seven_beacons is an excellent example of this.

I'm very good at coming up with ideas and inspiration for fic, but not so good with the follow-through or the finishing.
I curse, a lot. Most of my characters curse because of this.

I like plot, although I also believe that a plotless "character sketch" or "moment in time" that holds the attention also requires a great deal of skill. The question is how to get there: how to make an image with no movement grab its reader anyway.
In the end, however, I prefer plot, because plot-driven fics are more fun.

I write a lot about females.
I look a lot like Quistis Trepe.
I have to physically restrain myself to keep from writing 40-chapter epic ficathons every time I sit down.

I really like run-on sentences, and I abuse punctuation like it's my bitch.

I do write smut and porn, and I am equal-opportunity: m/f, m/m, f/f, m/m/f, f/f/f, m/f/f/m/summon/airship, whatever I feel like writing or you feel like asking for.

I do beta, and I enjoy it, so if you are looking for a beta, feel free to ask.
