Forum:FC:Café Fanfic XIV



After the tremendous outpouring of stories and experiences about our most miserably failed concoctions in June, we were absolutely swamped by the amazing discussion and dialogue that we forgot to re-open a new topic for July! All right, I promise, no more drink or liquid puns.

For now.

Just like the previous ones, we're going to talk about fan-fiction (yours). The basic ground rules are the same. Please restrict this to stuff from your fan-fiction, but aside from that, no pressure. You can suggest, make observations, but no condemning other people's work and "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer.

July's topic: How does music influence your writing? Are there particular songs, albums, artists, genres, or composers that you use while writing? Discuss.

''July's topic was suggested by Nightmare975. If you have something you feel would be of interest for the café to discuss, post it in the discussion section below.'' Atarumaster88   ( Talk page ) 16:06, July 12, 2012 (UTC)

 * When I was writing The Final Voyage, I wanted to capture that sense of camaraderie of a ship's crew that has served together for years through a variety of adventures. Given that's one of the things the Star Trek universe is known for, I listened to several of the film scores for the Star Trek movies during the writing of that novella as an auditory influence. In particular, the film tracks from Nemesis, Insurrection, First Contact, Generations, and The Undiscovered Country were the ones I listened to the most. Some of the other older ones just didn't fit the story as well I wanted, so I mostly cherry-picked from the newer film tracks. I didn't use too much of 2009's Star Trek if only because it was a little too energetic for a story built largely around reflection. "Main Title" from First Contact is probably my favorite out of all of them. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 16:06, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
