Writing Mechanics

I was inspired by [livejournal.com profile] donutsweeper's anatomy of a drabble post and it got me thinking.

Name any story I've written or character I've written about and I'll tell you 3 OOC things about it/him/her. What gave me the idea for the story, how it changed from the original, what I took out or couldn't get in, who the character is based on, etc. The mechanics of writing it.

Feel free to ask for a couple and also fee free to post this in your journal so I can ask you stuff too. :-)

Hee! My dad had a fancy chess set I used to play with--the knights were these incredibly detailed Roman soldiers on horseback. I'd forgotten about that!

Also comes from my habit of crying/fussing/complaining about something completely unrelated as a kid while my mother patiently peeled back the layers until she got to the real reason I was upset.

Oh, yeah, my mom was good at that, too!

Hee--I love Mal with his box helmet.
