sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

#they're like synonyms and adjacent words and some of them only loosely fall into the category shown i just needed to stick them somewhere #fanfic writing #writing #creative writing #writers on tumblr #writing dialogue #writing reference #writing tips #synonyms #writing resources #for future reference

nothing but respect for our troops (smut writers) but listen. i dont want to be the person to tell you this, but not every character is going to be a dom or a sub. some people. and i know this is hard to hear. but some people do have vanilla sex. and some of those people might even be The Character.

#kellan.txt #fandom #the kink fic post #editing to add the following tags:#obviously people can do whatever they want i am not the fandom police #dont like dont read. i will click out if i dont like it—you all have fun #this is mostly just an expression of a different set of priorities #where i prioritize writing/reading smut that is 'in character' per my hc/read on a character #and other people either don't have the same read or are just writing per their own preferences #no judgment is being made here im not like mad at anyone or saying anyone is doing smth wrong #eta again: turned off replies because wow. it is the fucking wild west in there huh.#final edit: i've muted notifications permanently.

you can pry starting sentences with 'and' or 'but' out of my cold, dead hands

#writing #writblr #i dont care if it's improper im gonna do it anyway #it just feels right a lot of the time #my goal in writing isnt to be a master of the english language but to portray a feeling and a lot of our feelings are imperfect #writeblr

"Aro/Ace person gets given a love potion" story but instead of them being immune or whatever, it DOES work, and they realize IMMEDIATELY that they've been fed a love potion because this feeling is so wrong and foreign but everyone keeps laughing off the idea of it being a love potion because "they were probably just a late bloomer" or "no, you just finally found the right person!" and it's just a horror story about how no one believes them even though they know, they KNOW this isn't right and they can't stand it.

characters going “we were lovers once”: eh, it’s okay i guess. it’s nice enough

characters going “we were friends once”: absolutely devastating. one hit knockout i’m gone

#maybe it’s cause i’m arospec #but this just hits so hard for me every time #we were once friends. we once chased each other in the playground. we held one another’s still beating hearts in our palms #not to say u can’t have that as lovers but idk. friendship just hits rly hard for me #on friendship #tropes #writing #aromantic

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

#creative writing #shitpost #sorry just wrote a third piece with the same underlying idea/premise #which i didn't do on purpose #and now i'm like. well fuck. what's this mean about me?#now i gotta do some self reflection about that

wait do people read first person stories and think they're the ones in the story???

Saw people talking about not liking first person, which is fair, but their reasoning was like "I would not do that" and I don't understand that mindset.

First person stories are still about a character. A character making their own decisions. First person isn't about you???? At least I thought it wasn't. What am I missing? I've always seen first person as just a more in-depth look into a character's mind and stricter POV. Not as a reader stand-in.

#reading #writing #writblr #writeblr #isn't second person the one more likely to be projection #because it's involving you in the story #unless it's told in a more artistic way #like dislike a pov style if you want idc #I just don't understand this specific reason

Do you ever write a sentence and then realize “Nah, that’s too self aware for you” and backspace a bunch of times.

#because I do #like a ‘he would not fucking say that’ but just about like #narration details #writing #writing problems #writer problems

“Be curious about what you’re writing about” is not stock Common Writing Advice but it really, really should be. There are a lot of written works that fail due to the authors just being obviously incurious about what they are writing about.

#writing #writing advice #ties in with ‘write what you know’—if there’s something you want to write about that you don’t know much about: be curious about it!#Find out about it!#Don’t just assume you know everything you need to know about it and then write shallow pap at best and offensive stereotypes at worst!

author’s notes today: hey guys so just a warning there isn’t 100% explicit verbal consent even though they’re both really into it so remember this is FICTION, also they don’t use a condom :((( but in real life safe sex is important!!! please be safe out there everyone

a/n back in the day: kept thinking about ____ stabbing knives through both of _____’s hands to pin him in place while they fucked so here you go lol =P

#i’m not saying it was better at all! i just find the contrast hilarious #no one posted stories with the belief that readers would use them as instruction manuals #kids today write author’s notes like they’re about to be sued for practicing without a license

please i love you i'm begging you bring back suspension of disbelief bring back trusting the audience like. i cannot handle any more dialogue that sounds like a legal document. "hello, i am here to talk to you about the incident from a few minutes ago, because i feel you might be unwell, and i am invested in your personal wellbeing." "thank you, i am unwell because the incident was hurtful to me due to my childhood, which was bad." I CANT!!!!

do you know how many people are mad that authors use "growled" as a word for "said"? it's just poetics! they do not literally mean "growled," it's just a common replacement for "said with force but in a low tone." it's normal! do you hear me!! help me i love you please let me out of here!!!

#i am so sick of writers having to anticipate the most boring #bad-faith readings of their work. i am like - if you use cheese as a currency #okay! as long as the world makes sense to me: cool. cheese tax. moving on.#my job as the reader is to suspend my disbelief and say okay! i am so sick of like #fanfiction authors having to write dissertations #because they had an interesting idea they'd like to try out!!!#just write it! if it doesn't make sense that's someone else's problem!!!#PS OP is autistic. yes sometimes i take things literally at first glance. then i think about it lol #this is so clearly not about accessibility etc. it's about like. girl even i an autistic person #am able to understand ''they probably didn't mean his eyes darkened LITERALLY''
