*Jumping back in from a plane after watching the
drama in the FFL for a few pages*
And yes I'm back. Though, it wasn't specifically two weeks. Still it was more than one. I didn't go through the 50 pages or more since my departure but I did read the last few pages. And so I picked a few questions from there....
At what point do you give your chapters a title? How do you usually choose a title?
From the beginning. I usually give one word titles based on something in the chapter that happens as a subplot or main plot. Then, I put A.k.a. (insert something to do with the chapter).
Do your stories generally have a happy ending? (Remember however, a happy ending by definition doesn't have to be "happy").
No, never have, never will, I am, to a certain extent, quite sadistic (keep repeating that for some reason XD) so I feel that it affects my writing in such a way that I don't like the psychological happy endings like rainbows and bunnies at the end. Also, sometimes there is also no conflict resolution either and i just let the protagonist suffer while the antagonists basks in glory.
After reading/watching a recent movie/book/T.V. programme do you find yourself trying to include some ideas of it in a fic on purpose or subconsciously?
Ah yes, this happens to me a lot. It doesn't affect the main plot but mostly the surroundings and miscellaneous things like the characters clothing or personality. In fact, the protagonist in my current
fic is sort of based on Train Heartnet from Black Cat(to a certain extent, not all of him).
Where do you like to write? Do you write in public, or do you fiercely guard your secrets?
As I've mentioned before, I write my ideas in code, have successfully encrypted my chapter archives (special thanks to solovino and Citrinin for their reccomendations) and I am exceedingly paranoid. So yeah, i write in my room on Saturday and Friday nights with the door locked and a cloth under my door so nobody sees the light from my room. Though, I am not a sociopath or antisocial.
Other than that, it's great to be back.
Here's my question
Are you addicted to reading? Not the unhealthy one like stated here but the reading anything you find or see kind of addiction. This is a form of bibliophilia otherwise known as being a bookworm.
