@cxmp-writes oooooooooo alright, let's see what we've got going on here
🐝 send me a fake fic title, and I’ll make up a summary for it!
i'm not going to do a full ao3 summary because it turns out that's really hard lol but! i'd make this a writer au i think! with fun romcom magical vibes!
luke is a best selling romcom book writer who has massive writer's block for his most recent wip. he has a meet cute with michael exactly like the one he wrote in his story, and then events start playing out in an eerily similar way. with shenanigans, romance, and a touch of magic, muke get their happy ending and luke finds the perfect ending for his book while discovering that sometimes real life is just as ridiculous as the silliest storyline
@clumsyclifford thank you!!! here we gooooooooo!!!!!
1. What font do you write in? Do you actually care or is that just the default setting? I write in Arial usually! It's the default on google docs and I don't care that much, but if the default suddenly changed to a different font I would probably change it back because it's what I'm used to now.
5. Do you have any writing superstitions? What are they and why are they 100% true? this is such a boring answer but I actually don't think I do? at least I can't think of any right now
20. If a witch offered you the choice between eternal happiness with your one true love and the ability to finally finish, perfect, and publish your dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP in exactly the way you’ve always imagined it — which would you choose? You can’t have both sorry, life’s a bitch I think I'd choose eternal happiness with my one true love tbh! i am lonely. more importantly, I can't pinpoint what my dearest, darlingest, most precious WIP is! all of my fics have their time as my darling and their time where I feel apathetic about them, and I wouldn't want to choose the WIP when I don't even know which one it would be. i can write it on my own, i know i can! (the one exception to this may be if i revisit my original stories more, as there's one that i'm very fond of but i haven't worked on it in years so i don't feel that much drive to finish it right now, life will go on with it still as a wip)
35. What’s your favorite writing rule to smash into smithereens? ooooooooooooooooooooo great question. i. have no idea. OH WAIT i just googled a list of writing rules and one of them said never open a book with weather??? while i don't do that often, i do have a fic where the whole format is that every section opens with a weather report (it's a song fic for the song "the weather" by lawrence and the weather has a lot of indicators of the character's feelings in them and such) so maybe that one lol. I didn't know that was a rule. I also do love using incomplete sentences sometimes, especially when the narration is pretty close to a character's thoughts.
“‘Let's see a witch,’” Ashton says. “‘It’ll be fine, Ashton. What could go wrong?’”
“I didn't say witch, I said psychic! How was I meant to know she was both?”
“From the sign!” Ashton says, gesturing emphatically at an A-board whose advertised PSYCHIC/WITCH SERVICES couldn't be more clearly outlined.
Michael tries to grumble but only manages a rumbly croak. “Look, you're fine. I'm the one who’s a bloody frog.”
“Play stupid games, win stupid prizes,” Ashton sing-songs.
for the @5sos-fic-fest friends to lovers fic event i present to you: modern fairytale silliness mashton!
