( 30 day writing meme )
Day 1: Tell us about your favorite writing project/universe that you've worked with and why.
Now that's a toughie. The world I can never let go is Eysuria, but it's also the most frustrating.
I think the one writing project I've had the most fun and least frustration with (despite attempting to write it like 5 times now) is my Legend of Zelda fanfic, Elemental Force. In some ways, I like fanfiction more than original writing. It's a challenge to create a new story that fits the canon of the original one, particularly if you're like me and you like to stretch canon to its limits to create something really interesting. But it's also easier to have a pre-defined world. My problem with original fiction seems to be that there's too much room for change, too many directions I can go, and I have trouble sticking to one.
Anyway, if I ever get around to actually writing EF all the way through, it's probably my one story with a defined plot that I'm not going to have to stop and wonder about halfway through, and that eases a lot of frustration, leaving just fun behind.
