heartlines on a red string | percabeth kimi no na wa AU

Percy and Annabeth, two complete strangers, are connected by a mysterious magical bond when they start swapping bodies.

chapter 4/? - wherever they are

Be at the Trie Cloister at 5PM today!  Wear something nice! DON’T BE LATE! 

Annabeth’s instructions—left on a sticky note near Percy’s bed for him to see first thing when he woke up—were clear, and at the same time, bafflingly mysterious. What was at the Cloisters? He’d never been to the Met’s famous gardens before, even though they were on the same island. And why did he have to wear something nice? (Also: hey, what was wrong with his clothes?)

Read on AO3 | Start from Chapter 1

i'm not saying people shouldn't be reading more books, but i do think it's funny how many people thinking "reading comprehension" is just about how good you are at reading books and not like. criticial thinking skills.

The Causal Chain And Why Your Story Needs It

The most obnoxious thing my writing teacher taught me every story needed, that I absolutely loathed studying in the moment and that only later, after months of resisting and fighting realized she was right, was something called the causal chain.

Simply put, the causal chain is the linked cause-and-effect that must logically connect every event, reaction, and beat that takes place in your story to the ones before and after.

The Causal Chain is exhausting to go through. It is infuriating when someone points out that an event or a character beat comes out of nowhere, unmoored from events around it.

It is profoundly necessary to learn and include because a cause-and-effect chain is what allows readers to follow your story logically which means they can start anticipating what happens next, which is what is required for a writer to be able to build suspense and cognitively engage the audience, to surprise them, and to not infuriate them with random coincidences that hurt or help the characters in order to clumsily advance the author's goals.

By all means, write your story as you want to write it in the first draft, and don't worry about this principle too much. This is an editing tool, not a first draft tool. But one of the first things you should do when retroactively begin preparing your story to be read by others is going step by step through each event and confirming that a previous event leads to it and that subsequent events are impacted by it on the page.

Tumblr attempted to change my "The Trouble With Tribbles" tag to "The Troubles," and 1) no. no that was in no way what I meant, and 2) I now can't get this cursed crossover out of my mind

tell me about "getting drunk on your noble deeds"!!!

A half-vampire college student succumbing to his inheritance has to prove that he’s not the killer all while pining helplessly for his roommate. Urban fantasy novella! Body horror resurrection! References to WB/CW shows!

I need to inflict my vampire propaganda somehow, guys!

This is a novella that I haven’t worked much on lately except for a one-shot and some silly, silly scenes to get their voices right.

Here are some scenes -
