Pretty Colours and Origfic 3SFs
May. 17th, 2013 08:45 pmI'm probably going to be posting a lot about my adventures in origfic over the next few months. Come July, I'm going to participate in Camp Nanowrimo once again and this time I am actually determined to finish with a decent (and complete) first draft of a story that I have been working on for the past three years. (Not a solid three years, but that's how long it's been since I first had the idea.) I've probably talked about First Contact before, though it was probably under another name. This working title isn't much better, but there you have it.
Anyhows, I downloaded Scapple the other day - an amazing app by the same people who made Scrivener, which I use all the time - and had a lot of fun creating a visual outline of my story yesterday.
( Outline! )
It still needs some work but I'm super proud of it so far and look! So pretty!
So I did that yesterday and then today I started working on character development. I've had some of these characters running through my head for three years but others have only recently moved to prominence in the plot when they'd been stuck on the sidelines for so long. Biggest change was cutting a character that had been there right from the beginning. The fact that I wasn't as sad about it as I felt I ought to be was only reassurance that it was the right move to make.
So part of this character development today involved writing a handful of 3 Sentence Fics for everyone. So I thought I'd share some - one for each character.
