Random Fic Things

Why do I keep shifting into present-tense when I try to write fic? I think this may be Tseng's fault, as for some reason Midgar-verse stuff works really well in present tense, and I've had a bit of Tseng-fic floating around in my head for a while. Unfortunately, this doesn't work so well for RE crack-threesome fanfic. Claire/Ada/Leon FTW. Also, three-way conversations where nobody can actually see anybody else are hard to write.

And I ate a whole bag of marshmallows, and now I'm really, really awake. And still hungry, too. And while the remixed Axel/Roxas FST is really, really good, I shouldn't be listening to it on repeat, because I've had it stuck in my head all week already.

Present tense suits Midgar in my opinion. It's all very fleeting where all there truly is is the present.

Yeah, and it probably doesn't help much that most of my Midgar stuff is all weird vaguely introspective shit, which always works well for me in the present tense because it adds a somewhat surreal, stream of consciousness sort of feel. And that some of the Ada/Leon bits I was working on are like that, which may be why my brain is trying to write this one in present tense too.
