I feel fannish and I want to be wordy!

[krait]

I really want to do one of those "ten things I keep in mind when writing that character" memes, but alas! I do not write enough characters, and anyway a lot of them overlap because let's face it, I'm all about the background culture of characters and the worldbuilding. Is there a "ten things I keep in mind/assume are true when writing that fandom" meme?

Lately my life has just been full of delicious, thoughtful discussions of my various headcanons (particularly in Homestuck, but just this evening I got to briefly wax elated on the subject of Loveless!), and/or seen fic or fic prompts that fall within my headcanons; I have this vague urge to write them all out and hope that discussion ensues, but I'm not sure I could muster them all together without forgetting half of them, referencing a bunch of stuff I've started writing but not shared anywhere, and/or breaking DW via flagrant disregard for word limits. :D

I'm putting the 'meta' tag on this anyway, just in case something interesting does happen in the comments! /optimist

Aww, that is adorable! I've seen the "Nepeta's tail is a robotic prosthesis Equius built for her" headcanon before, but not the pitiful "and it's a legitimate assistive device" backstory!

Hehe, thank you :33 I thought it worked well as a way for them to pale-bond especially since I couldn't think of any backstory I liked better. And I really do like the idea of Nepeta's tail being an assistive device; while manx(?) cats certainly do well enough, tailed cats rely on their tails a lot for balance, and rats are reliant on their tails to the point where breeding tailless rats is considered by some to be abusive.
