So, Anything You'd Like to Know?

[kriadydragon]

Ask me anything you want about any one of my stories that you've read. For example: What posessed me to put a tape-worm like creature into Sheppard's back? Why am I always making it so poor Shep loses weight? Why did I have Character A react as he/she did when character B did this? And so on.

I'm not quite sure why I'm doing this. Curiosity? Bordeom? Maybe both, I don't know. It seemed like a fun idea and I wanted to see if it was. Feel free to snurch if you want. There's a good chance something similar has been done already, but I don't recall (or just plain don't know about it.)

I am trying to write less stories that involve weight loss, but for the most part, I'm also trying to tone the weightloss itself down (i.e. cutting back on emaciating him, but mostly because I feel bad for doing it). The thing is, I can't make any promises. Weight-loss is my all-time favorite whump next to broken ribs and a shot to the shoulder. Plus many of my story ideas make weight loss (whether major or minor) kind of inevitable (illness, capture and mistreatment, and so on). Using other methods... I don't know, they just don't cut it for me. Weight-loss, coupled with an injury or illness, I think - for me, of course - has an added oomph of humiliation, depending on the situation and how bad off he is.

So there will still be stories where he loses weight, just not as many if it can be helped. I do want people to enjoy my stories. At the same time, I have to be careful that I don't reach that point of stressing over whether people will like a story or not. Sometimes I have to write a story for myself - for cathartic purposes - which means there's a good chance weight loss will be involved.

After surgery most people can't walk for a week without being in pain or being very sore no matter how 'strong willed' you are.

No, muses, no! Stay away from that idea!

Thats what is the most important thing!!

Hehe yeah I'm exploring that in my current long fic....

Eric's recent surgery has really given me some ideas for some stuff...I won't tell him that our recent experience has gone down in the 'research' category.
